What is our true purpose here on earth??

Question

Every religion has its own interpretation of why we (human beings) are here on Earth. Most say its a testing ground for the hereafter or its a duel between God and satan to see which one of us is devoted to God. I believe there must be a reason beyond those obvious/oblivious ones. God in all His excellence is above all of this. The Almighty does not have to prove anything as such and if yes to whom then? He is Omnipotent and doesnt need to judge His own creation and that too in this manner. The concepts of judgement and a bet between good and evil are too human based. God doesnt have anything to prove so none of that judgement or duel stuff makes sense. That leaves us with the question...What indeed is the real reason for humankind to be on Earth??

Answer 2

Our reason to be on earth is to learn to love both God and one another.

In 1966, I died and went to heaven. There I had an epiphany before being sent back.

If you consider you and your own 2 year old child. If sane, there is nothing that child can do to make you turn your back on your child. No tantrum too loud, no pounding your chest too hard.

So too is God as far above you, as you are to that child.

Why then do we have religious doctrines. It is simple, as Jimmy Buffet sings, "Religion is in the hands of some crazy-*** people."

While here, we all have questions. If people agree with us, we feel more confident. If we can get others to accept our dogma, and honor us with gifts/collections/special clothing, we come to believe our dogma is right.

But it is not. All religion is right, and wrong. It is much like the story of the 7 blind men and the elephant. Religion is simple.

1. You should love God. God loves you.
2. Love all mankind as we all need all the help we can get.
3. When you die, believe you will to heaven, and you will.

I know this does not fill up great books, but it is what I learned of our purpose while being dead.

So when you die, go to heaven.

I'll see you there.

Answer 3

(simple answer) Men are that they may have joy.
(complex answer) This is not our beginning nor our end, we existed before wer were born and we will exist after we die. The reason we don't remember the life before this one is to give us the opportunity to learn the things we couldn't before we came here.
Have you ever wondered why each of us seems to keep repeating the same bad experiences? It is simply that there is some part of the experience which we haven't learned yet, and so the lesson is taught again.
This leads to the next question: why do we need these lessons? Imagine a society very much like the one we have now, family units, government, community, etc... but existing forever. would you really want people who become easily bored with that kind of life living next to you, or even in your community? I would hope not, since the societal problems we have now would only get worse and worse until that "perfect world" became chaos.
So the best answer is to wipe the memory of those trying to get into that community and test them to see if they really are the kind of people who will honor its rules and defend it.
So yes we are here to be tested, and yes the test is justified. There are guides through the test, but you may have to ask for their help.

Answer 4

My purpose is multi-level, yet I have a specific goal of taking out the greatest evil the world has ever known. His name is Satchya Sai Baba of India, who has literally raped thousands of children the world over. To date, governments have virtually ignored this ancient filth, who some say is the Anti-christ of all times, the final one, the supreme one. We know there have been many like him--Hitler, Stalin, Napolean, Saddam Hussein... and on and on. So if you think this horror called Sai Baba was one of God's creations, think again. According to the Holy Spirit and other ancient texts, they all predict his coming, and even his defeat. He is dying by the way, and I'm not sorry about that. I don't include evil with good. He is not a person. His original name was Satan, I am told by Mother Mary and Her Crew. To rid the earth of ancient filth, to help the Mother Earth cleanse Herself and all her ancient innocent children is the purpose for which I was born. And to be reunited once again with one's Twin Flame Mate is another of God's great purposes for our earth.

Answer 5

We are here to (1) gain a body; (2) be tested as you said to see if we are obedient to God's commandments; (3) gain experience and knowledge (which includes our sorrows and trials as well as our successes and joys); (4) be judged once we've all finished with this phase; (5) become joint heirs with Christ to all God has if we are worthy, as stated in the Scriptures. Hopefully, that last item means we (6) eventually become like God and create our own worlds and works, as He and others have done.

Answer 6

I think we should stop killing ourselves finding reasons why humanity ever began or ever existed. The answers may be way beyond our thinking capacity.

We may instead draw a smarter way of defining our existence. Look around. The reason is all there. We coexist simply because there is life to experience, to enjoy, to improve, to share, and to sacrifice for some divine reason.

We complement each other, good and bad, beauty and simplicity, living and non-living, etc. We sort of create a unique kind of beauty by being harmonious to one another.

The rest is how you perceive things to be.

Answer 7

We are here to get our bodies. We are only spirits up there and just like Jesus was resurrected with his body, we all will be as well. Gosh, there is a lot that we need to do here, personal beliefs, which are certain ordinances like baptism, marriage forever, not just till you die, and live as He requires. He doesn't have to prove anything, but we do. We either choose good or evil = God or Satan. There aren't trials up there in heaven, we have to be seperated from him, come to a, sometimes cruel, world and not have, in our face, evidence that he exists. We show our faith in believing and living his principles. I think that God wants us to prgress, and not just exist. If we never came to earth and lived life we would be as a child without our knowledge, and never progressing from that state. Just like every great parent, he wants to see us progress.

Answer 8

Our purpose is to simply be, experience and evolve to greater levels of connection, love and understanding. Realizing that it is all perfect exactly the way it is, you realize that everyone is fulfilling their purpose perfectly all the time. What is your purpose? To ask this question, until you do something else. What is my purpose? To type these words until I don’t. Simple. Probably too simple and so most people dismiss it (it’s their job so you can’t really blame them), but if you search deep enough the light shines through and there you are in the perfect universe with everyone and everything perfect just the way it is. What’s not to love about that?

Answer 9

I'm sure none of us will ever know until after we pass. This is a very deep question and I think it's His way of using His creation to pass some sort of clue or message unto the rest. I will sleep on this. I shall keep you in my prayers, for He doesn't put a human being on this Earth to be forgotten.

Blessings,

Answer 10

God does not have to prove anything to anyone. We are here because we want to be here. We were all happy in the spiritual world with God but we got envious of the fun He was having so we decided we wanted to have that fun as well. So, in His mercy, He allowed us to have this material world to control or "enjoy" in whatever way we wanted. We continue to return here for so many lifetimes before we decide that we can't truly be happy here. Then we try to return to God but we can't remember how to get back. So, this human life is meant for seeking the answers to return to God. Hare Krishna!

Answer 11

humans were originally created to live forever, but when sin entered the world through Adam and Eve, our bodies were destined to die. Our sin separates us from God, so Jesus was the only person who could bring us back to him. We are put on this earth to be a living example of Christ so that we may someday rule with him. He is coming back soon. I know it may seem impossible and hard to believe, but its true. Jesus will return.
