Do you believe that God created the universe for man?

Question

Also do you believe that we are the highest form of life ever (bar anything angelic or divine)?

I keep seeing evidence that people who believe this don't give a damn about any other animals than humans and that they are even offended at the thought that we are mammals, let alone animals.

Is this just them drawing the wrong conclusion, when they hear the word animal they think something with no morals or thought for others?

Sorry for the bad grammar, I know it sounds like English is my second language or something...

I see a lot of answers saying we were to look after the animals... I don't see a lot of that going on, do you?

Answer 1

we and the universe were created for God himself...we are here for him. i apologize, i cant find the scripture, i know its there.
i don't know the types of people you are hanging around. I love Jesus....and i love all(most animals). we are to care for all creation. the only thing i have problems w/ are insects/spiders

Answer 2

Hi, excellent question, I believe that God is infinitely abounding in generosity, and I can well see how Like the Good Father that He is, has gone way beyond any measure of love to show us how much we mean to Him.
another theory states that as God knows and sees all of created time and event at once(omnipotence) then to announce the incredible event of His Son being incarnate the universe is the visible reaction to this great happening, and in fact is the Fathers gift to the Son,who is King of all creation.

Frank B Robinson began a faith contained in the 20s or 30s said as Psychiana. He replaced into said as the mail order prophet. He marketed on the decrease back cover of pulp magazines of the day. I study that he had one of those wide mail order following that he replaced into about the 5 th or sixth best faith contained in the land for a lengthy time period. Frank marketed :" I spoke with God, sure I did." And he claimed that if God ever spoke to guy - He speaks to him on the prompt. Why might want to we anticipate of a go with few heard Him some thousand years in the past and then He went silent? The early prophets may have had enormous egos. They honestly had little competition for the ear of the lots and likely had an flair for self promoting equivalent to madonna's. in case you seek for recent Hindu information you may come across a dozen holy adult adult males contained in the most suitable hundred years. contained in the vast international of Christianity i can imagine of quite a few contained in the previous century. you likely recognize many extra. Padre Pio. mom Teresa, likely Teilhard de Chardin, P. Quimby and Mary Baker Eddy, and Edgar Cayce. Cayce being the most in call for cutting-part day prophet.

Answer 4

God made man to have dominion over the earth and over everything that lives on the earth. That is a great responsibility to take care of what God has given us to tend and watch over.
Man was made a little lower than the angels. But when we get to heaven God said we have charge over the angels.

Answer 5

One of our jobs is to take care of the animals. We were granted dominion over them and that will be returned to us in the new earth.

The universe wasn't created just for us.

We are the highest phsyical form of life.
When God leaves his rest and starts creating again, he may creat more high forms of life to subdue another planet, but that is thinking we don't need to be occupied with.

Gen 1:28 ............ the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the heavens, and over every animal that moveth on the earth.

Isa 11:6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid, and the calf and the young lion and the fatted beast together, and a little child shall lead them.
Isa 11:7 And the cow and the she-bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
Isa 11:8 And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the adder, and the weaned child shall put forth its hand to the viper's den.

Mat 5:5 Blessed the meek, for *they* shall inherit the earth.

2Pe 3:13 But, according to his promise, we wait for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness.

Answer 6

Adam and Eve were put in the Garden of Eden. That was our original place of abode, and we behaved like humans then. When the pioneer parents transgressed against God's injunctions, He threw us to the present abode meant for the lower animals. Ever since, humans have been behaving like their landlords - animals!

Answer 7

God creates because that's what He does. When you've got infinity and eternity you have both the room and the time to create lots and lots of nifty stuff. And if you love as He does, you want to create lots and lots of stuff to love.

And you want to create beings capable of returning that love and capable of loving whatever else you've created. That's why man.

And yes, those who look down on God's creation are misinformed, at the very least. God gave man dominion over the earth and all the creatures thereof. Dominion means lordship. It means to guard, to nurture, to protect, to love as God loves.

Unfortunately, too many like Satan's idea best, domination; to control, to neglect at whim, to destroy, to kill. I hope they get theirs. I truly do. *slaps hand* BAD Annie!

Answer 8

Yes, I learned that He created the universe for man.

Answer 9

How can you possibly answer that. Unless the Creator of the Universe came down and gave you the answer personally, then of course you would have to be enlightened enough, and have enough wisdom to fully understand the construction.
