God doesn't need anything, so why would it be about 'making us to love and serve him'.. according to you, God is everything, including love and is capable of doing all things without any help, so why would we be created soley to serve and love? Then on top of that, go to suffer forever if we don't. That is just sadistic.
Why would God one day come to attention and say 'I'm bored, so I'm going to create a planet and creatures, and make some rules up that they have to follow or to go hell, just for fun".....I can't really think of any other reason.

God made us for His glory, and He is definitely worthy of our praise.

properly, the Judeo-Christian God is quite the respond to the question of existence. you be attentive to, 'why is there something?' maximum persons with a smidgen of philosophy in them would have questioned this in some unspecified time interior the destiny: why could there be something in any respect, quite than nothingness? Why is there even spacetime? no longer to point a universe? The Judeo-Christian God is explicitly an answer to this. whilst asked who he's, he says "i'm that i'm" (there are some suggestions on a thank you to translate this), basically that he exists that he exists, or he's existence itself, and he's thoroughly self-contained in his existence. he's his very own reason, and his complication-loose sources is present. this offers the situation of present completely to God, who can then reason different issues (like the universe, area, time, etc) to exist. it somewhat is the reason it does not make experience to ask Jews or Christians who created God (besides the certainty that it somewhat is a fruitful question): God's complication-loose sources is present, self-contained, perpetually. No beginning up or end: he's the Alpha and the Omega. the situation of existence is why lots of the extra philosophical scientists, who reject maximum non secular stuff, have been deists, quite than atheists. and an astounding sort of 'atheist's as we talk, quite the extra scientifically literate, look extra pantheists than strict atheists. examine a number of Dawkins's discussions with the Archbishop of Canterbury, or any time whilst he thinks he's explaining exasperation on the assumption of desiring a God: he's extra pantheist than something, giving the complication-loose sources of God (he exists that he exists) to the universe itself, and the sweetness and awe as properly. If he'd spent it sluggish interpreting theology academically, before issuing statements on it, he'd in all probability see himself as pantheistic, no longer atheist, and enjoy it. EDIT: certainly, I look to remember examining something extra moderen by potential of Dawkins which reported he now understood and universal pantheism as an define of himself, besides the certainty that i do no longer think of he'd yet realised that it is not certainly atheism.

God created us for relationship with HIM I believe first and foremost.No differently then why we have children,there are other forces on the earth that cause havoc.My life has not been a cake walk,for many reasons.Much to do with my own bad choices,free will.Its not because God is trying to stick it too me,but my prayers have led me to much deeper places.Sometimes we are our own worst enemy,but for me God has never forsaken me.Much the way I feel about my own flesh and blood,my kids are my heart.I'm sorry you have been hurt somehow somewhere,by maybe someone.But all I can say is just talk to HIM he really only wants to have relationship with you.I was told a very long time ago all God wants is US.

Don't blame God. It's religion that made up all the extra bullshit. I think our only purpose here is to maybe learn something, and grow in spirit. I agree with most of what you're saying. I think man has detroyed any real knowledge of God that may have existed at one time.

Actually, I don't think God created mankind as a race of servants...He created the angels for that.
I believe God is raising a family of sons and daughters....
He adopted me into His family, when I was no more than a street brat...
I am proud to be His child!!

Maybe we're all just a big video game, and God created us to have a fun game to play. lol
(Please don't anyone get mad at me, it's plausible, and fun for gamers to think about. Besides, I'm only talking hypothetically, that's not what I actually believe.)

Our understanding of things isn't the same as God's. This is one more thing on your list to ask him when the time comes.......I take him at his word period....I don't question I obey.
