Guest Xan Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 Welcome to the boards, Angel. Â Tough questions, but ones that need to be answered. Â You asked why G-d made us knowing we were going to sin. Â He made us with free will. Â The only way He could fully commune with us is if He made us in His image: Â we have free wills, we are supposed to be intelligent beings, we are triune beings.
