If the purpose of life is to pass Gods tests, can we agree God is petty?

Question

What a grand purpose we have. God is like Bf Skinner, he uses some cheap positive (heaven) and negative (hell) reinforcement tools to get us to pass his little exams.

Will God give a person with a failing grade the chance to say "wtf...you knew I wouldn't pass...you sick b&$#!...just know I won't blame satan for the torture in hell you created for me in advance"

Answer 1

Well you have summed up pretty much the way I feel
towards God,I believe he has an agenda, a quota,and we
are pawns, the means too an end.
I think he requires blind faith in an individual in order to pass
this ''test'' any spot of dissent,any blem in character and you fail. And his only interest in seeing anyone pass this test
is that he arrives at his required number! I believe the emotion
of love as we know, it is foreign to god.An eternal damnation
for one lifetime of sin, is indeed sick...Beyond comprehension

Answer 2

The way I feel, if God did exist, he wouldn't care about whether anyone believed anyway. Or if anyone passed his "tests". I mean there is this proclaimed supernatural being who has all the superpowers recognizable, who can create an entire universe in 6 days, and so much more (according to Christianity) yet he is supposed to care about some measly human beings living on one planet? It just doesn't wash, right? He is God, he can do whatever he wants, why would he give a rat's butt if anyone prayed to him, or said his name in vain, or even believed in him? I'm sure a guy with all that power and knowledge would have better things to worry about.

Answer 3

Unfortunately you have an altered perception of God. This is possible as there is an enemy who works day and night to hide the true nature of God from man. Keep on asking and it will be given unto you. Do not assume you know His purpose for you. Why dont you ask Him?

Answer 4

Yes, I would agree to that. But after years of theological study, you are the first person that I have seen who thinks that the purpose of life is to pass a series of tests administered by God!

The sunlight could warmth our planet yet it somewhat is barely because of the actuality that the place interior the way of the photons it emits, the reason we've water to drink, air to respire, and foodstuff to consume is because of the fact our cells have developed to apply water, air, and minerals and sugars from foodstuff to their benefit as a replace of purely allowing them to pass to waste sitting around them. And what are you speaking in regards to the enormous bang being clever, the enormous bang concept states that there became into as quickly as a singularity that became into infinitely small and contained all the ability interior the universe, then all of it at as quickly as exploded and all the ability burst out, there are additionally various theories that upload directly to the enormous bang concept that attempt to remedy the difficulty of there having to be a initiating to the enormous bang. And via the way, the enormous bang concept would not state something on arising human beings, it purely states how all the undertaking interior the universe is like and likewise promptly increasing (enlargement is likewise concept to be do to a undeniable unknown stress of nature), the formation of human beings is an entire long technique of evolution and organic determination, yet existence in maximum situations maximum possibly began out as common rna shaped from randomly colliding nucleic acids and sugars, then by way of the years the rna, for say, developed into the extra complicated dna, and that's uncertain if easily virus or micro organism like cells shaped alongside with rna or dna first , yet while the cellular shaped extra progressed tactics, defenses, and offenses ought to be progressed to help itself, preserve itself, and combat for itself. Over eons those common prokaryote cells have been evolving into extra complicated organisms, nevertheless maximum of time spent on evolution became into wasted on the shape of multi-cellular organisms, that, for many organisms, weren't asexual, which promptly accelerated evolution. Does that answer maximum of your question.

MATTER: The Other Name for Illusion

What is explained in this book is an important truth, which has surprised many and changed their perspectives on life. This truth can be summarized as follows: "All events and objects that we encounter in real life-buildings, people, cities, cars, places-in fact, everything we see, hold, touch, smell, taste and hear-come into existence as visions and feelings in our brains".

We are taught to think that these images and feelings are caused by a solid world outside of our brains, where material things exist. However, in reality we never see real existing materials and we never touch real materials. In other words, every material entity which we believe exists in our lives, is, in fact, only a vision which is created in our brains.

This is not a philosophical speculation. It is an empirical fact that has been proven by modern science. Today, any scientist who is a specialist in medicine, biology, neurology or any other field related to brain research would say, when asked how and where we see the world, that we see the whole world in the vision center located in our brains.

This fact has been scientifically proven in the twentieth century, and although it may seem surprising, it necessarily implies answers to two questions; "If our lives are visions created in our brains, then who is it that creates these visions? And who is it that sees these visions in our brains without having eyes and enjoys them, gets excited and happy?" You will find the answers to these two important questions in this book.

The Purpose of Creation
The purpose of creation is a topic that puzzles every human being at some point of his or her lifetime. Although most people put the question of why we are created aside after occasional brief reflection, it is extremely critical for human beings to know the answer. Without knowledge of the correct answer, human beings become indistinguishable from the other animals around them. The animal necessities and desires of eating, drinking and procreating become the purpose of human existence by default, and human effort is then focussed in this limited sphere.




Without knowledge of the purpose of life, human existence loses all meaning and is consequently wasted, and the reward of an eternal life of happiness in the hereafter is completely destroyed.

Humans most often turn to other human beings like themselves for the answers. However, the only place that clear and precise answers to these questions can be found is in the books of divine revelation. It was necessary that God reveal the purpose to man through His prophets, because human beings are incapable of arriving at the correct answers themselves. All of the prophets of God taught their followers the answers to the question "Why did God create man?"

Answer 10

The purpose in life is not to pass tests
but to accept Christ Who has passed the tests for you.

Trying to pass the tests yourself will prove that you can only fail.

Hell is not for those who choose not to go.

Hell is for those who reject the way not to go.
