Let's see...
1. Your "god" creates the Universe.
2. Your "god" creates heaven (a utopia) and hell (some sort of burning lake of fire).
3. Your "god" creates mankind and gives us souls (parts of us that live on after our physical body dies).
4. Your "god" demands reverence, respect and worship from all of mankind while we are alive on Earth.
5. If your "god" does not recieve reverence, respect and worship from certain people, it (your "god") casts the souls of those people into hell for all eternity.
---------
IN CONCLUSION:
Your "god" either (a) has serious self-esteem issues (b) suffers from an inferiority complex (c) is bi-polar or (d) is just plain f*cked in the head.
So which one is it?

You forgot about smiting. God does a lot of smiting.

Let's get it right..........
1. yes my God created the universe.
2. Yes my God created the Heavens and the earth.
3. yes he gave us a soul, but we have a spirit within us that lives on after we leave this body. Now who every is without the Lord will die and go to hell, But who ever is in Christ will sleep til Christ return.
4. No, my God does not demand anything from us, he want us to do the right things, but he also gave us a free will to make our own choices. Thats the kind of God that I serve. One that doesn't make me do anything but he did set guide lines that we are to follow. I mean we were created to worship he anyway and he gave us extra things that we can do while we are here. So why act silly with our creator.
5. We respect God because we want too, it's just in us. Now the reason you would go to hell is not because God sent you there, it would be because of the dessions you've made while on the earth.
In Conclution:
My God is not a, b, c, or d, but is the I am that I am.

Your multiple choice does not allow for the correct answer. Your statements are incorrect also.
1. God creates earth and mankind.
2. You as a spirit decide to follow God's plan and come to earth because you could progress no further without a body & experience.
3. You get a body.
4. You live your life according to your free will and hopefully Gods commandments.
5. You die.
6. You either repented of your sins before you died and took advantage of Jesus Christ paying for them (aka: paradise) or
you didn't and you suffer and pay for your own sins (aka: hell)
7. You are ressurrected, you get your perfected body back and are not in paradise or hell anymore.
8. You go to an approprated level in heaven.
9.. The devil and his followers (who never got bodies and were cast out of heaven for rebellion) are cast in the lake of fire (hell) and never get out.
Thus everyone is better off than they were before, you get to show what you are made of, God is glorified and his children have progressed and evil is defeated.

Hell was created for Lucifer and the angels that sided with him. It was never intended for man (or woman) but became that when sin entered the picture. In true justice, God can't give mankind any more or less for his disobedience that what he created for Lucifer.
We have free will to choose to serve God. God asks for our reverence, respect and worship but doens't demand it. We give it willingly out of love for God and for sending His son Jesus Christ to die for our sins so that we wouldn't have to die and go to hell.

(e)None of the above. Our GOD does not demand worship. YOU are free to worship (or not) as you please.The very fact that there is a heaven AND a hell tells us that it is our choice as to where we wind up. GOD is a GOD of love and as such created this universe to be run on the principle of love, with love comes peace, joy, happiness. patience. goodwill ,etc. all of the attributes we long for in life. man was put here with the ability to live and love in this enviroment and given freewill . (for GOD will not force himself on anyone, for then it would not be love, but coercion). Now, how long do you expect GOD to put up with our foolishness? a decade, a century, perhaps we will get it right after 7 or 8 thousand years..GOD intends to run this universe the way he intended for it to run, and being a GOD of judgement also ,he has to have a solution for all of the people who willingly reject and oppose his plan for HIS creation..and in that there will be no place for those who kill ,destroy, lie, corrupt, war, and all of the evil that goes along with rebellion against GOD(LOVE).>>>but he had to give every single living soul an opportunity to choose.....HELL will be eternal separation from the very ideal of GOD and all the GOODNESS therein. (because you chose)!NO light, NO love,NO peace, NO hope just an eternity of yourself alone, NO hope.This you do not want. Choose wisely., for it is appointed to man,once to die, after this the judgement. .

Hey he created you so you better watch what you're saying. And God is capitalized. The answer is (e) He's real. Oh yeah and like you said he creates mankind and he gives us souls. Why do you just want to not be alive after you die or be "reincarnated" so you can go through life again?? Oh yes, we buckeyes could beat you guys if you played us in a game again because we rule!!!!

None of the above in my opinion. The bottom line is that sin cannot enter into Heaven, and the only way to atone sin is through Christ, so if you don't accept Him you are sending yourself to Hell. But if that's the way you want to spin it, go right ahead. I personally don't like to assume a superior, judgmental attitude when addressing the personal convictions of others as you clearly do. It never fails to amaze me how people like you -who proclaim to be so open-minded- are so hostile about the beliefs of people who don't think exactly the same as they do.

Go read your answers the last time you asked this question..The truth remains the same.
Here's how I anwered your question the last time.
Actually you a little off. Man gave reverence and respect because God is worthy. Man inherited death by disobedience to the law. God paid the penalty of death for those who accept it. Proving again that he is worthy of worship. God does not kill people for not worshiping him. Man has caused his own distruction and Christ paid with his flesh the penalty of death for us.

You in trouble kid... God will forgive you if you repent.
You wanna understand God when you don't understand yourself... why do humans always think they are so clever.
Tell me... how do you sleep, do you just press a button and fall asleep... when you eat... why does the food not go to your lungs... it could open and go to the lungs and you die. What is death?
You can't explain this and you wanna know about something you don't see... If God created you, doesn't He deserve a thank you?

God is your God also. You are a child of God. He has given mankind Love, Grace, Mercy, warnings, His Son...everything! Why is it so hard for you to return His Love? It's your choice. Are you a, b, c or d?
May God Bless you.
