If you, a person who does not believe in God, chooses to attack God's
character, you have to take His whole character into account. If you do
not understand why He has the characteristic of testing, even though I
have given you a good reason for it, it is not my or His fault that you
don't agree with it. Do you also question other things like, why is there
an Earth? Most likely not. If you asked me, "Tony, why did God make the
Earth, He could have just made a land mass that was flat and very big?" I
would say because it pleased Him to do so. Then you might say, "That is
not good enough, give me more reasons." I would say, I'm sorry, but
that is about all I know. If I give you a complete answer and you choose
to ignore it, or just say I am babbling, that is your fault. I'm sorry
that you can't understand, but I DID give you an answer. It plainly
states God made us in His own image. He has the ability to choose
things that is why He gave us the right to choose. Wouldn't it be
contradictory with the scriptures if he didn't let us go through the
process of choosing? Yes. Please do not ask me again to give you the
same answer, it will be probably kind of embarrassing. A good example of
God choosing something would be Jesus Christ in dessert(Matthew 4, Luke
4). Here He is tempted by the serpent, but only chooses to follow God the
Father. He resisted the Devil and He went away(James 4:7).
