That's exactly my point. The ultimate goal is that we must learn. Now, what is more important for an individual? The reasons why an all-knowing God test us? or What you will learn from those tests? If you chose the former you're trying to understand God's logic (good luck with that) and you consider that to be more important. If you chose the latter then you're satisfied with what you will learn from the tests. And quite simply the latter is more important for an individual.

You can trump any argument by saying that "no one can understand gods logic".

Beyond that, when you ask someone a question...knowing full well what their answer will be, then you aren't testing...your proving yourself right.

Tests are an evaluation, not a lesson.

Why do we think we are being tested?

To see if you will be faithful in the earth made new! God forbid, that sin should arise a second time and destroy everything in its path.

For a cute little Bunny, you sure are silly......How can sin destroy everything in it's path???? What path....is there a certain one it should stay on..I'm confused, what if there's a fork in the road... 😑

This is earth made new, this is heaven.

then heaven is nothing

NO...you can apply your creative nature to make this a type of heaven....but heaven is just a change in location and form...Not at all what is portrayed....

difference is that student seem to graduate from school and testings

Yes , but graduating from school does not mean that life now turns to a joyride because what you've learned always influences or shape your life further on and after school there is colledge, jobs, relationships, marriage, etc the testing goes on and on. It is what you learn from it that is important. By "passing" the tests from God (or even sometimes Satan), we grow stronger spiritually and become more steadfast in God's ways. The Bible speaks of us being like babies drinking "mothers milk" and gradually being introduced to "food" as we grow spiritually, as we study God's word, as we implement regular prayer times until graduation comes when Christ returns.

The teacher may already know all of the answers to the questions, but the test is not determine what the teacher knows but what the students have learned.

An all-knowing God would not have to test humans to determine what they have learned because He would already know.


Most students do not have a clue of what they know or don't know untill they have been tested. God knows us well but we need to "stand the test of time" in regards to our faith.

Any "testing" from god at any point in time in someone's life is redundant. An all-knowing god should already know the outcome.
