Why??..........why would a majestic god ...........all powerful of all that ever was and would be also be offended????...............A god that would have the power to destroy all that IS forever, once and for all.......... Why would it be offended by IT'S creation? Did it make a mistake by giving it a sense of humor or thinking skills??

I have never understood that either. If we are supposed to live like Christ, and Christ was humble, and Christ is God, then is God not humble? I use G out of respect, but I am not sure if God would care. It is difficult to reconcile the attitude and behavior of the God of the Old Testament and the attitude and behavior of Christ.

I do not believe that human "frailties and attributes" are necessarily conflicting with perfection. We are not perfect, so our view of perfection cannot be a true expression of what perfect is.
Do we really know what perfection is?

I think that the frailties may be the imperfect human expression of attributes. Jealousy is an imperfect expression, but is the feeling that engenders it imperfect or is the response imperfect?

The idea that God desires means that God needs. If God needs then God is not complete. If God is not complete, then what the bibles says about God is not true.
First of all, define complete according to 'Completeness" scripturally.
Second, for God to give should He not receive?
Third, who are we as the creature to put the creator in a box and say, "This is you?"

Please, you are better at finding scripture.
Nothing I said contradicts that.
I made no comments about God, I only gave my line of thought about God & desire. I showed my work...
You said in general God must be incomplete because he desires us. Well, does not Buddah teach that man can be complete and attain perfection within? Does this mean we no longer can desire to be loved or seek others becasue we reach something or because God is who He said He is? How does God desiring to be loved by His creation make Him something other than who He says He is?
