If god knew the out come of the tree in the garden of Eden - why then did he bother?

[Peter]

This question indirectly is trying to also explain pain and suffering. As we know god is omnibenevolent, omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent. If he is all of these then why bother putting the tree there if he knew the answer and the future to what Adam would do. He does seem in -biblical reference- show anger to this, even though he knows the answer!
When you answer the my question please do not start answer with because as it belittles pain and suffering.
Also please do not contradict the fact that god is all knowing by saying 'he chose not to know to protect integrity'
no - Jesus is not god!!!!!
you said to test Adam and eves obedience?? God is all knowing, therefore he knew what they were going to do!
you say with pain and suffering we learn the values of love and liberty. take for example, the holocaust, would god stand to watch 6,000,000 die to make us learn that lesson? does not the suffering out way the lesson by so much - even when there are more less-suffering ways to teach it?
reply to 'blessed' - In Matt. 24:35-36 Jesus said, "Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words shall not pass away. 36"But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone. 37For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah."

If Jesus is God in flesh, then shouldn't He know what the day and hour of his return would be? After all, God knows all things. Therefore, if Jesus doesn't know all things, then He cannot be God.
In reply to David - there is no hell, only annihilation -god is too loving to punish us for eternity.
- also out of interest, i also used to be a ex-Jehovah's witness... in the bible it claims There Is No true church, yet the Jehovah church preaches to be the true one (in their doctrine). I would also like a reply to this argument.

Since Jehovah is a God of prophecy and purpose, how does he exercise his foreknowledge? To begin with, we are assured that all of God’s ways are truthful, righteous, and loving. When writing to Hebrew Christians of the first century C.E., the apostle Paul confirmed that God’s oath and his promise make “two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie.” (Hebrews 6:17,Â*18) In his letter to the disciple Titus, Paul also expressed this thought when he wrote that God “cannot lie.”—Titus 1:2.
Furthermore, although Jehovah has unlimited power, he never acts unjustly. Moses described Jehovah as “a God of faithfulness, with whom there is no injustice; righteous and upright is he.” (Deuteronomy 32:4) Whatever Jehovah does harmonizes with his wonderful personality. His actions manifest the perfect harmony of his cardinal qualities of love, wisdom, justice, and power.
Consider how all of this relates to the events in the garden of Eden. As a loving Father, Jehovah provided everything human creatures needed. He endowed Adam with the ability to think, to reason on a matter, and to reach a conclusion. Unlike the animal creation, which is largely guided by instinct, Adam had the ability to make choices. The result of this was that God looked down from his heavenly throne and saw “everything he had made and, look! it was very good.”—Genesis 1:26-31; 2Â*Peter 2:12.
When Jehovah chose to lay a command upon Adam not to eat of “the tree of the knowledge of good and bad,” He provided adequate instruction so that Adam could decide what to do. He allowed Adam to eat from “every tree of the garden” except one and warned of the fatal results of eating the fruit of the forbidden tree. (Genesis 2:16,Â*17) He laid before Adam the consequences of his actions. What would Adam do?
Jehovah apparently chose not to foresee what Adam—and Eve—would do, even though He has the ability to know everything in advance. It is therefore a question, not of whether Jehovah can foresee the future, but of whether he chooses to do so. Furthermore, we can reason that Jehovah, being a God of love, would not knowingly and cruelly predetermine that rebellion—with all its sad consequences—should take place. (Matthew 7:11; 1Â*John 4:8) Thus, as far as Jehovah’s exercise of foreknowledge is concerned, it is selective.
Does Jehovah’s selective exercise of his foreknowledge mean that he is somehow lacking, imperfect? No. Moses described Jehovah as “the Rock,” adding: “Perfect is his activity.” He was not to blame for the consequences of human sin. The disastrous effects felt by all of us today stem from that unrighteous act of disobedience. The apostle Paul clearly reasoned that “through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men because they had all sinned.”—Deuteronomy 32:4,Â*5; Romans 5:12; Jeremiah 10:23.
Take care now.
