God put us here to test us, to see if we were valiant enough, faithful enough, brave enough, and courageous enough to make it back to him. Our purpose in life is to be the best that YOU can be, not the best that so-and-so can be or that somebody else can be, but the best that you can be. Our purpose is to find the truthfulness of the gospel and commit to it, respect it, confide in it, and live it. Getting back to God requires total dedication and commitment on your part.

Although I'm not a Christian, you should look into the first book of the Bible - it's called "Genesis," and you'll need to read between the lines, so to speak, because the various Christian traditions have twisted the meanings of what's in there. There is a reference to genetic engineering or cloning, in fact, in Chapter 2 of Genesis. It clearly mentions surgery when it says that "Adam" was put to sleep and then had genetic material taken from him (a "rib") and then it mentions that this material was used to make a female version ("Eve"). To some, that idea seems "crazy," but it isn't crazy at all. The phrase, "the Lord God" as it is used in that chapter, is clearly a reference to a person who was clearly in charge of a genetic project. The creation of human seems to have be explained twice in Genesis -- however, i do not think we are going to be given God's exact and mysterious reason for having created whatever has been created. As for the purpose of our lives, it would appear that we are meant to unite to God through the ancient mystical means -- this is why the ancient Hindus put emphasis on the ancient meditation techniques - that is something truth seekers should look into ...

This is really interesting. You know how at sometime or another you or someone else has viewed an ant farm? That toy device you put the mixture in, and add the ants to watch and view them? Their lives just be observed by others? What if, and maybe if, we're somebody's, or something elses ant farm?? Allowed to do as we please, and exist. The ants just aren't smart enough to ponder those two questions. Our purpose is self preservation. No matter WHAT our origin, something is going on. We are no accident. While I'm here, I'm going to make the best of it. Hope all of you out there try and do the same.

there is no purpose of life. we are the only creations of god that think there is a reason to life. look at the wind, at the trees, at the birds and animals, look at everything....there is no reason. we are here to do what we are here to do.
be cool and chill like a tree, thats all there is to do. nothing needs to be done. we are just creations of life, living, all we need to do, is live. there is no special purpose for life for man. one man may be special, but there is no special purpose.
everything happens for a reason and man can not change that which happens, so if anything, the purpose of man is to destroy. because it must be destroyed in order to be created again, man has no purpose. man has devoloped purpose on its own behalf without acknowledging the fact that there truly IS NO PURPOSE.

God is a loving being who out of mercy created us human mortals in his image. He wants to share his love with us in the eternal paradise of Heaven. However, he chose to first put us on earth, which he created, without memory of him, this way we will come to him out of free will. God wants us to comes to him in FREE WILL, thats why he made it, and it causes him great pain when people refuse him. This life is like a film-projector that is an illusion of your true providence, you are coasting along in a dream until you awake to the uttermost reality that God is real. God created science for this world to make us think, but we must conquer these spiritual battles. Scientists, for example, will in their free will, convince you that you do not have a soul and that you will die and there is no other life- that once you die you're dead. But if that is what they truly believed, they'd live their life in fear to the fact they'll eventually have never existed, but thats far from the truth. God made commandments and laws that are perfect and that we must keep in order to obtain eternal life. However, we were created imperfect. (Because if we were perfect, we would know to accept God and not be stupid like scientists). We are imperfect for the concept of free will, and because of that we are ultimately all sinners. However, God did something awesome! He sent his one and only begoten, perfect Son, Jesus, who WAS the Christ. He died for YOUR sins! The only thing you must do is truly accept him in your heart and tell him this, saying that he is now the Lord of your life. He will forgive you of your past sins, but from this point, if you truly believe you won't sin further. As it is written, "How can we, after having recieved the knowledge of the truth, continue to sin? For there no longer remains a sacrifice for our sins, and the Christ cannot be re-crucified." God loves you! Come to him.
Don't you see that ALL things, and I mean EVERYTHING, in this mortal world will perish? Money will perish, possessions will perish, looks will perish, history will perish, kings will perish, people will perish, even relationships will perish. But God is eternal and forever, no begining and no end. Worship him and accept your savior Jesus Christ to be granted the gift of eternal life. This will allow you to enter a kingdom that is of eternal peace, happiness, and all knowledge for all time, unendlessly in the embracement of the Lord thy God.
Just take a look at this link of some people who died and went to Heaven, came back, and decribed it:

and here is another one where the victim died, came back, and described Heaven:

Come into the Light! God awaits you, and offers you eternity with Him.

Why not ask Him directly about your particular purpose?
"But from there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you search for Him with all your heart and all your soul." Deuteronomy 4:29
As I see it our purpose is to love the Lord our God with all of our heart, soul, mind and strength and love our neighbor as ourselves.
