Understand the concept, "Who is God" and it would become simpler to understand God Almighty in its entirety.
God Almighty... a cluster of pure energy is but the sum total of all souls (atmans) in the cosmos at a given point of time. The essence of every soul (atman) being the same as God Almighty... every soul is but a minuscule God in its entity.
The moment the big bang occurs... all souls (atmans) existing in the Cosmos spread all over the cosmos with unimaginable speeds. The magnitude and the scale of the big bang are beyond the comprehension of the human beings to visualize. Nothing that exists in the cosmos in energy form can be visualized by the help of the senses and the mind.
This explosion of the big bang results in creation of a new cosmos... a new beginning! After billions of years when some planets become suitable for giving birth to life... the souls start manifesting body after another. And a planet like Mother Earth is born.
Now... what is this big bang theory! The big bang occurs in what! As has been defined above... the definition of God is, "the sum total of all purified souls atmans in the cosmos at a given point of time is what we know as God Almighty".
This cluster of pure energy we know as God accumulates in its absolute pure state only when the dissolution of the Cosmos occurs in its entirety. It is as if a huge cauldron of fire... a massive black hole has reduced the whole of the Cosmos to the size of half a thumb. It is this stage when every single soul atman in the Cosmos in whatever stage of life it may be liberates after gaining enlightenment and salvation. There is just no escape for the collapse of the whole of Cosmos has occurred.
As has been expressed by Mahavira, the 24th Tirthankara of Jainism that souls atmans in whatever stage of life they may be... continue their journey into the next Cosmos exactly from the point where they stood in the earlier manifestation is totally wrong. This is where the teachings of Jainism are flawed.
Bhagavad Gita... the sacred doctrine of Lord Krishna distinctly clarifies this point. And it is logical that when the collapse of the entire cosmos occurs... the question of souls remaining in their position as such and transitioning into the next Cosmos after the big bang occurs is but a flawed parable that defies all reasoning and logic.
The point of difference where Mahavira went wrong in understanding the teachings of Bhagavad Gita! The reason why Jainism branched into a new thinking pattern as advocated and doctored by Bhagwan Mahavira (the 24th and last Tirthankara of Jainism) is evidenced here.
This cluster of pure energy... the sum total of all purified atmans in the Cosmos equals half the size of a thumb as has been clearly spelt out in the Bhagavad Gita... the most sacred doctrine put forward by Lord Krishna in the battlefield of Mahabharata.
Unable to contain itself for long... this enormous source of pure energy explodes with a big bang giving birth to a new cosmos... a new journey! God Almighty is the source and the cause of the big bang. This theory of creationism is unpalatable by Scientists all over the world. Why? Science demands proofs and in the kingdom of God... it is absolute faith (in the system of God) that rules. More on who is god here- http://www.godrealized.org/god/who_is_god.html

God has created Natural laws & Spiritual Laws.They were both set in motion when He created this universe. Ex..Summer follows Spring,Spring follows Winter, winter follows fall.Sun rises,sun sets. Ever wonder why in that order. God gave us Spiritual laws, for our good,love,justice,health etc.even wealth. And He loves us all, and desires a personal relationship with us.He knew we needed a Saviour Jesus,to show us the way to eternal life. And He sent His Son. We have free will, another gift from God. Our choice to choose, to make no choice is a deceision in it self. Sometimes He intervenes,( as only the Creator can do) and we call it a miracle, even for the unsaved. You know that if you put your hand on a hot burner,you will be burned. Was that a punishment? or the natural consquence to your choice to put your hand on a hot burner? And the rain falls on the just and unjust. One day we will give an account of our actions here on earth.

I don't believe God punishes us.
We live in a world balanced with good and evil.
We have free will to do as we please. Good things will happen to bad people and bad things will happen to good people.
It is the way we deal with these experiences that allow us to grow spiritually or not.
Sometimes a person in the most dire of circumstances - can make that into the experience that brings him/her the most Spirtual growth. For the after life.
It's all in how we see things. We're born, we live life, to grow and learn. God doesn't have a hand in our lives unless wepray to him and our prayer is granted.

We get our just reward and punishment when death comes, and when we see him on judgment day. Its up to us in this world if we want blessings or to take a whipping from GOD. We all have free will. Its how we use it. For good or bad.

According to Islam, God (Allah) created man for a noble purpose: to worship Him and lead a virtuous life based on His teachings and guidance. How would man know his role and the purpose of his existence unless he received clear and practical instructions of what God (Allah) wants him to do? Here comes the need for prophethood. Thus God (Allah) chose from every nation one or more prophets to convey His Message to mankind.

It isn't a board game. God does intervene in some situations. But we have free will and are accountable for what we do.

because he's given us the power to choice .
if we did not have such a power there'd be no reward or punishment , like animals or even angles.
apart from all that depends on you to accept existence of god .

He does not punish, He disciplines. He is like the perfect father to us. However, like naughty children, we are the ones who choose to do wrong and then the consequences of our behaviour follow. God leaves you to your own devices when you reject Him my friend, but He is the perfect Father to those of us who love Him.

We are all free moral agents, when you break the Laws you cause curses to come upon your own head. Yahweh loved us enough to give us his Laws of prevention, but mankind has chosen to cast them behind him and make every known excuse not to keep them. Don't blame Yahweh, look at the man in the mirror or the person in your genealogy who willing and dilberatly chose disobey Yahweh.
Read.......
Deuteronomy 30: 10 if you shall obey the voice of Yahweh your Father, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law; if you turn to Yahweh your Father with all your heart, and with all your soul.
11 For this commandment which I command you this day, it is not too hard for you, neither is it far off.
12 It is not in heaven, that you should say, "Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it to us, and make us to hear it, that we may do it?"
13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, "Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it to us, and make us to hear it, that we may do it?"
14 But the word is very near to you, in your mouth, and in your heart, that you may do it.
15 Behold, I have set before you this day life and righteousness, and death and evil;
16 in that I command you this day to love Yahweh your Father, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his ordinances, that you may live and multiply, and that Yahweh your Father may bless you in the land where you go in to possess it.
17 But if your heart turns away, and you will not hear, but shall be drawn away, and worship gods, and serve them;
18 I denounce to you this day, that you shall surely perish; you shall not prolong your days in the land, where you pass over the Jordan to go in to possess it.
19 I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse: therefore choose life, that you may live, you and your seed;
20 to love Yahweh your Father, to obey his voice, and to cleave to him; for he is your life, and the length of your days; that you may dwell in the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Yaaqob to give them.
