Why did God create us, knowing that many would go to Hell?

This can be difficult to answer, especially as God is infinite and we sometimes can't seem to understand what His plans will do for us. When parents have children, they know that their kids will eventually act in sinful and even harmful ways. Yet, that doesn't stop them from having children.

Why? First of all, it is worth the risk of their rebellion to bring them into the world. Second, the nature of love is to give.

By having children, the parents can better express their love. Third, just because the children will sin and rebel, doesn't mean they shouldn't exist. Fourth, children have their own wills and can freely choose to rebel--or to do good in the world.

Knowing this, parents all over the world still have children. As you can see, analogies help us to make sense of things, but they can't answer every question. We could come up with a variety of possible reasons why God made people knowing they would sin, and we probably can never fully answer this.

But, knowing that they would sin is no reason that God shouldn't make them, especially if His plan includes redemption for sinners. The world isn't fully wicked. We all sin, but we all have good as well.

It's your choice whether you want to display the good. Any passage of the Bible that attributes human feelings to God must be taken as analogy, that is expressing a divine reality in human terms. God is one, eternal and unchangeable.

It was decreed from all eternity that should men behave in such and such a way, there would be these and these consequences. It is very difficult for us to grasp this, but we must remember that God is infinite and we are very, very finite. Trying to put all the oceans into a teacup does not even begin to come close as a comparison.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
