When I was young someone told me that God got tired of being alone so angels were created. But, they had no free will and could not be companions. Thus, God created humans.
When we were put in the Garden of Eden we were given everything we needed. Except free will. God planted the Tree of Knowledge and told us not to eat the fruit of that tree. God made us and knew full well what we would do. But we were given the choice, "Do you want Free Will?". Without that choice we could not have Free Will. We had to choose it!
I believe that when Eve and Adam ate of the fruit they passed the test God had set for us. We were destined to leave the Garden.
God did not create us to be sycophants groveling for acceptance. To say that each of us is flawed is a disservice to God, implying that God is an indifferent or poor creator.We do ourselves and God a disservice by saying we are flawed. We are to be discarded as a flawed piece of pottery is discarded into the midden heap. Jesus never once told a person they were flawed or imperfect.
God has given us free will and all encompassing Love. I believe we are each incomplete, not flawed. It is our journey to complete ourselves growing in our uniqueness.
