Absolutely. God created mankind in His Own Image, and that Image was not and is not limited to physical appearance.

Our emotions, our logic, our intellects, are all based on the Almighty's original design.

Unfortunately for us, our species developed a flaw which prevents us from utilizing all the potential that God saw fit to create within us, that flaw being sin, i.e., disobedience to God. God did not create that flaw, we are responsible for what some call the 'downfall of man'.

Fortunately, John 3:16 explains perfectly how God, in His love and compassion, chose to fix the problem.

I don’t agree. I believe that we cannot constrain God to our logic as it just isn’t sophisticated enough, nor are we capable of comprehending Him. After all, many people act illogically and we can’t even figure out why they do what they do, much less God.

If God is the creator of all, as you say based on His design, how is it, that He didn’t create that flaw? Perhaps it’s not even a flaw, could just be a design characteristic.
