An all knowing God Has control over everything and essentialy controls everything good and evil .Yet he creates life knowing the ultimate outcome ,giving us a choice of destruction of ourselves in a world that he made with evil in it.To say God is a just God but he already knew we would fall .Why would he do this for his Glory by his grace we are saved ,he sent his son to die for us ,this all was not needed he knew the result before it happened .I you have a son or daughter and you put them in a position to make choices to teach them a lesson but you already know they will fail leading to there eternal damnation burning in flames it would seem your love for them would put them from harms way .Keeping in mind that god ultimatly knows everthing why would he do this .

Because He wanted something from them, i.e., allegiance. Why? Because, as Father, He wanted a devoted family. Change your perspective.
The Tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil was a good tree.
Genesis 1:12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
1 Samuel 15:22 And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold,[b][size=small]to obey is better than sacrifice[/size][/b] , and to take heed than the fat of rams.
Genesis 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made.
Greetings in Christ's name by whose blood we are jsutified. AMEN.
