Yeah, why do we? We have faults, God doesn’t. Or does being made in His image just mean our bodies look like Him?

“Yeah, why do we? We have faults, God doesn’t. Or does being made in His image just mean our bodies look like Him?”

We have free will - which means the ability to turn away from God and do bad things. Our relationship with God was damaged through original sin, and, of course, Satan roams the world seeking the ruin of souls.

The world is a machine, a device, through which people can become what God wants us to be. Unless people have the ability to choose Evil, unless bad things can happen to good people for no discernable reason, the machine doesn’t function.
