Christians......WHY???

Question

Beliefs are beliefs, understood. I would like to know WHY God created people and everything according to Christian beliefs.
I mean if we are here and live accordingly, and in the end we will live in his kingdom in heaven when we die, what is the reason that He has us go through life at all? Does the bible speak on his motives?

I just want to know why we are put in flesh to serve God, when he could have just kept us in spirit from jump street?

What exactly are the trials and tribulations of life preparing us for in the end?

Answer 1

Honestly, I don't know the answer to your question. Trust that G-D does have a plan and it is brilliant. No one knows these answers except for HIM. G-D bless you!

Answer 2

Good questions. What is the purpose of life? Did God, after trillions of years of loneliness, just suddenly decide: "I'm going to make me a man"!? I think not.
Unfortunately, the Bible is pretty mute on his motives. However, there are some indications that this is all a process to help us to become like God. He wants us to become joint-heirs with Christ in his Kingdom. But why? Because we are his children. He is our Father. Before we came here to Earth, and before the Earth was ever created, we lived with God in his world. However, He was so much more advanced than we were. He wanted us to be more like he was. That is why a plan was set up, the Earth was created, and we were sent here to pass through trials and tribulations that would test us. By making right choices, we would learn and grow and become more like our Father in Heaven. We were put in flesh so that we could learn to overcome the flesh and rule it, thus becoming more like God.
The purpose of life, then is to learn to be obedient to God so that we can become more like He is and be able to return to live with him for eternity and enjoy the quality of life that He enjoys.

Answer 3

The Bible shows in the beginning, man was created to live on earth forever. His job was to care for the planet, making the paradise of Eden expand to cover the earth. Heavenly life was not a hope for any man until after Jesus came. Those he offered life in heaven are to be rulers of earth with him in his kingdom by the power of his Father, Jehovah.

Death only entered the picture as punishment for disobeying the one law Adam & Eve had. They did this because of Satan's questioning the Creator's right to rule His creations.
He was never stupid enough to question God's power. Jehovah has allowed time for man and Satan to prove the theory we don't need God's rule. So far, it has only meant misery for us and the planet. 6,000 years is about enough. Jehovah tells us He will not allow the test to continue much longer.

Answer 4

First hon, God didn't create "Christian" beliefs, man did. We are all here to serve a purpose, but what that purpose is, well that is for God to know and for us to find out. Our duty to our Lord who so wonderfully gave us life, is to thank Him, show him our appreciation that we have this chance at life. Whether our lifes get turned upside down, we owe it to God to thank Him for the opportunity to make things right, and live according to his laws. The trials and tribulations are in place to determine whether we are worthy of living for eternity with him in Paradise. They are tests as to how faithful and willing we are to give our lives to Him. If you would like more information, I invite you to read about Islam, read the Quran. It is more indepth, gives greater understanding to God's wishes. It is easier to read and understand, and requires no speculation because it is plainly written. I am a convert to Islam. I have been a muslim now for 7 months, formerly, christian, before which I was atheist. I used to ask the exact same questions, and I truly found the answers in the Quran.

Good Luck to you,
Assalamu Alaiykum (peace and blessings upon you)

Answer 5

Well you must understand we were intended be G-d to not go through trails and tribulations. Remember that in the beggining G-d created man to rule over the earth, but after Adam and Eve sinned things changed. So one day G-d will restore all things back to the way he intended them to be through Christ. Now since we do go through trails and tribulations all we need to do is stick it out.

Answer 6

Hello BabyMama.
Read the book of Genesis in the Bible. Study the first 6 chapers in that book. Notice How We "fell" from Eden/heaven unto earth. First it says God, then goes to LORD God, then goes on to LORD. This indicates the "fall" of man 3 times. We fell because God had a plan for us, but we were tempted to go our own way because God made us into individuals with free will. We went wrong, so we caused our own fall. But God, loving all of His children, made a way from death {unaware of our True/spiritual selves} (See John 12:32; I Timothy 4:10; I John 4:14,19). That's when He invented reincarnation, so each life we can gain experience in the physical or other realms (mainly physical, because thats where the fall was, or at least one of them being tempted to manifest in material form) and become better, or worse, until we reach perfect unity the way were we when we first sang with God (See Job 38:7; Revelation 14:2-3 [144,00 is not to be taken literally, and for those redeemed in that age, in their season (See I Timothy 2:6)]; Philippians Ch. 2).
The duty of every entity overall is to know yourself to be yourself, yet one with the whole (Read John 14 & 17 for more, also see I Corinthians 12:13-14; 15:21-31; Ephesians 4:4-6; I John 4:13).

Answer 7

We were created in God's image. We were created to enjoy life here on earth. If you recall in Gen. 2:15-17 "Jehovah God proceeded to take the man Adam and settle him in the garden of Eden to cultivate it and to take care of it, And Jehovah God also laid this command upon the man: 'From every tree of the garden you may eat to satisfaction. but as for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad you must not eat from it. for in the day you eat from it you will positively die.

You see Adam did not have to die. His death came about because of his disobedience to his creator (God)


PS 37:9-11
"For evildoers themselves will be cut off, But those hoping in Jehovah are the ones that will possess the earth. And just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more, And you will certainly give attention to his place, and he will not be, But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth, And they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.

You see God's original purpose was for mankind to enjoy life right here on earth, that is why he created us here. And he has also made a promise that the earth will be restored to it's original paradise condition.

the Bible does speak of those who will go to heaven, but this is a select few which (144.000) which is spoken of in Rev.

the trials and tribulations that we are experincing is because of
Adams sin.

there is so much info that I can shar ewith you but just not enough space or time. Please for more answers to your question please visit the offical web site of Jehovah's Witnesses

Answer 8

"Amen" to that... haha

I've given up on Christians. I say, let them be delusional and overcome by mob psychology and mass hysteria. I like my science.

I bet you a million dollars that you well get tons of responses from Christians that say "There is no way of knowing God's plan!!! It's too hard for our tiny minds to comprehend!!!! Everything has a purpose!!!!!!!"

Answer 9

If you want to know that bad then read the Book or if you can't read go to the Christian Book Store and ask for the Bible on tape.

Answer 10

from what i know the bible doesnt say that, but from what i've read from a poem or narrative, its to test our loyalty to either God or the Devil.
