Our free will. We couldn't truly love god if we had no choice and were made to. We can only love god if we truly choose to

God isn't powerful enough to make people who could truly love him without introducing evil and suffering upon the world?

The Devil caused Adam and Eve to fall into sin. Sin is a sickness, one we are cleansed of after death. I've yet to find an answer to that question, but for me, I don't need all the answers to believe. Faith is always part of a religion.

he was an angel i believe called lucifer, he was turned into satan and converted maybe atleast 1/3 of the angels into demons(according to my memory from a very open minded catholic school) because he tried to go beyond god.

His original name was not lucifer, we actually were never told his original angelic name. God gave him a lot of power and then he went power mad pretty much.

Was God not powerful enough to create a good angel or did he just not see it coming?

Really reading the Bible is like the number one reason former Christians cite for becoming an atheist. I am biblically literate.

That would violate our free will

So God isn't very competent? It seems like everything he made breaks in terrible ways. Why can't God make people with free wills who choose not to sin? For that matter, why does he even want to be worshipped?

If he makes us choose not to sin, then it’s not us choosing, it’s him making us not sin. Also, worship can simply mean respecting and serving him, other things such as music are optional.

He hardened Pharaoh's heart, where's Pharaoh's free will?
