It was a test, but if he was omniscient, he would have known the results without having to run it. ๐
He wanted the result, but needed it to be our 'fault' for weird passive aggressive reasons and so he could hold it over our heads for eaons. "Sorry son, I'd drive you to the store but you ate that apple. Remember the apple I told you not to eat?"
See how i didnt mention he is also "benevolent."
There's quite a bit of evidence to argue he is actually malevolent.

I really enjoy reminding them that Satan only kills about 10 people in the Bible. He temps others to do things, but he's only responsible for a handful.
God on the other hand... much more direct and merciless. Doesn't really seem to give a shit at all about killing people actually. Like a kid with a magnifying glass burning ants.
Christians then start applying "ends justifies the means" logic.
Calvin ball. Its all just Calvin ball.
