Some said "God doesn't need us, we need God". This is even more confusing, why would a god that didn't need us create us to need god? Why create something to need you? Sounds incomplete to me.

How does a Perfect being become bored? How does a perfect being become anything, but perfect?

He was bored and wanted some love!
Sorry, I would try to help more--but I've had this same question myself. I never could figure it out. In a way, I think that most Christians' concept of God was created in the image of man, rather than vice-versa.
Here's a question in response to :"How does a perfect being become anything, but perfect?"
If God is perfect and all-powerful, can He change? Can He progress? Most people think of the Christian God as being stagnant and unchanging. I'm not so sure this is the case. Why can't He change. He agreed not to kill humanity with a flood after Noah-- I'm agnostic--so I don't "believe" --but I'd still like to understand.

We were created to be slaves.
Think about it, if you were a superhuman being would you need a lessor life form to worship you? Do you demand your dog to make sacrifices to you? Do you ask your gold fish to pray to you?
If you so love the people of this world as a superhuman being would you abandoned them and leave your children in crisis?
If you believe everything you read about god or the bible then you have been set up to fail and there is no way around it.
Why create man/woman = humanity to never sin when it is an impossible quest?
Peace

No, God is full and complete, but to increase His happiness He expanded Himself into many living entities, us, in order to have loving exchanges. When people say "He doesn't need us" in the sense that He is self satisfy. Is like a father, he does not need his son, what his son can do for the father? the son need the father, but the father although does not need his son, again he need his son for his happiness.
God is already there is not created in the mind of the people.
When you feel thirsty, you don't create the water, the water is already there. The need of God is not for everyone.

He wasn´t bored when he creates all the thing, ask your mother why she brought to the world, because she was boring, i dont think so , because she loves to bring a new life,
Isaiah 40:26: "Raise YOUR eyes high up and see. Who has created these things? It is the One who is bringing forth the army of them even by number, all of whom he calls even by name. Due to the abundance of dynamic energy, he also being vigorous in power, not one [of them] is missing.
So his energy is everlasting and when we are connected to a everlasting energy we will last for ever, but in the other hand is the opposite.

God created all things for His pleasure. (Revelation 4:11)
That is all we can say about the "why?" It is incomplete as you have said because we don't and can't know God's purpose or reason for His creation, except to say, "we were created for His pleasure." Did God have to create us? No, He doesn't need us. Since God did create us, we need Him in order to have life. So, it is correct to say, "God doesn't need us, we need Him."

Nature doesn't need us but it created us. Why would nature create us if it didn't need us?
My opinion, I don't think it had a choice in the matter.

Its simple we need God, because without him we couldn't exist.
We need God because without him we are sinners, on the road to hell.
God made us to reveal his love towards us.
