God does not enjoy robotic worship, he desires worship from the free will of man. He gives us all a free choice in the matter
That answer has been given before and yet every time the flaws in that answer are shown people refuse to see them.

1. God created us
2. God gave us free will
3. God knows the entire future to come

So is it TRUELY free will if he not only knows what choice we will make but we are composed only of that which he gave us? To me that is not free will at all.

Can you answer that question?

God defined the way of living to Adam, and also defined the consequences for going against his wishes. "You will surely die." I think were his words
Adam was not told of this before eating the apple... in fact he was not told of ANY consequences, just simply not to do it.

Secondly, if he was told he would surely die then why did he live until he was nearly a thousand years old... surely if it was his wrongdoing that plunged the whole of humanity into sin then he should have lived far shorter than those people who were not born and had nothing to do with the original sin.

Thirdly, How can God be a "forgiving and loving" God if the very first time someone broke one of his laws they were punished for all eternity and every person that ever followed regardless of their actions were also punished for this same thing?

These are just a few blatant contradictions that refute everything you are saying and show them for falsehoods. The only answer to these you can give are unsupported and only make sense to people who already believe because that is what they choose to do... believe (lookup the definition of faith).

The earth is full of disease, hatred, killing, etc. Not at God's choice, but at man's choice.
So all diseases are made by man??? That is the implication of your statement.

Man's nature is to hate God.
So God created a creature in his image and instilled withim him the desired nature of hating him? That is some God... I didn't realise he was that masochistic

Amongst all the arguments and rhetoric I have read in this thread, it has not been pointed out that if you take a Bible of the shelf, and look at the prophecies therein, every one has come true
Actually it has been pointed out several times that this is not the case. It has also been suggested that prophesy in itself is not an indication of Godliness otherwise there would be a religion for Nostrodamous. Thirdly, anyone can write something and make it so ambiguous and open to be taken a thousand ways and have someone liken it to an event in history.... Just because I say the world will end in "fire" doesn't mean I correctly predicted nuclear war... it means I can write flamboiant and colloqueal text that has a thousand applications depending on what you WANT the answer to be.

There are some serious prophecies in the very last book of the Bible which point out the very thing from which we will be saved.
Then point them out. If you are so sure every SINGLE prophecy in the Bible has come true then state specifically the details of this last book and exactly what the thing from which we will be saved is.

I would be interested to actually here someone make such an audacious claim "BEFORE" the event rather than "AFTER" which is the only way you get your prophecies to hold true
