why did god create humankind and then demand them to love him??

Question

isn´t that selfish??
free will = do whatever you want to but if you dont do what i want i send you to hell for eternity...what kind of freedom is that???
Why is god "supposed" to be the good one if he punishes those who don´t follow his rules???
(I know this is going to offend some but that was the same attitude that Mussolini, Franco and/or Pinochet had)

Answer 1

It's funny how when you ask a Christian why god sends us to hell if we don't worship him they say, "you always have a choice" but when you ask them to rationally consider the choice, they immediately go into "dogma" mode. I've never met a group of people so incapable of living up to the minimum requirements we set for intelligent, thinking beings.

So my "choice" is "obey, or burn. "

Not "obey or be left alone," or "obey or miss out," but "obey or suffer an eternity of torment and suffering."

In their brainwashed, addled minds, this is what they consider a "choice", but then again, these are the same people who all believe we are born inherently bad because of what two fictional idiots did with a serpent 6000 years ago.

To any logical, rational human being, what their god does is called COERCION.

Answer 2

To answer your first question, God created us so that we may glorify him. He didn't have to create us if he didn't want to, but he did. Just the same way I would create great pottery if I was a potter, or create great paintings if im a painter. He created to glorify himself and why not when your as awesome as he is.

Next you mentioned free will...
Regardless of where you live, your country has laws, a government, usually one law is that your not going to kill anyone correct? and if you do you get punished...we still have free will, but we can't kill anyone....well the same deal is with God...we have free will, but there are rules that we must follow...doesn't seem so hard.

God punishes not because he is "good" but because he is "fair". He is a fair and just God. If you live a righteous life and i am a sinner, then would you want me to go to heaven? No that wouldn't be fair.

Answer 3

Why did man create cars?

For our own purposes.

God created mankind with Sovereignty as a creature that might accompany Him; and with the right to choose comes the right to enjoy or endure the consequence of the choice.

A few will choose wisely and fulfill the purpose for which they were created.

And like the car that no longer operates, many will choose unwisely, perish and suffer a similar fate.

So you want is choice but no consequences?

Or for God to make the choice for you?

Sorry mate, it's His system and His rules. I hope the best for you.

Answer 4

regardless of if this is genuine that God created heaven then it additionally might desire to be genuine that hell grow to be there for its opposite purpose. God forgives people who basically say i'm sorry and then stay righteously after that. however the depraved who has no remorseful approximately in persevering with to do wickedness then this is purely perfect for him to have a place opposite heaven. this is somebody who owes your cash. You supply him pardon or supply him yet another risk while he basically admitted he can't pay you on the 2nd yet will do his superb to pay quickly. You cost him for the pastime in the postpone or positioned him to cost or penal complex for defiantly paying you back and each from time to time there are people who lost their temper even motel to killing the borrower. do no longer misuse or abuse those observe "Forgiving, Loving and all understanding" just to make an argument. Even you wish justice to something this is performed against you. What greater if it comes from the techniques of the single that created you to glorify Him and not you to be glorified by using Him. he's no longer purely like the human beings who picked up slightly junk wood and shape it into an icon then kneel down and pray earlier it. incredibly i do no longer think in heaven or hell in the way we are made to realize it as Christians. I in basic terms depended the misperception you attempt to modern-day for argument.

Answer 5

God does NOT demand love. That should be obvious, since YOU are CAPABLE of refusing. I find that amazing. Even in the face of perceived punishment, you STILL show contempt for your Creator. But that is your choice. Is it God's fault that there are only two choices out there? Would you prefer to exist alone without even a tormentor? Forever? Or would you prefer not to exist at all? Both possibilities are mentioned in Scripture. IDK which fate is awaiting you, and frankly, I don't understand why you would choose any of them. But it IS your choice.

Answer 6

I agree with you on every aspect of what you said. I never knew that's what Mussolini thought that as well.. kind of freaky. But yeah I think that is extremely selfish for someone to create something (like humans) to simply serve him and love him. Very self-centered I should say.

Answer 7

Because He created you for His purpose. He could have never made you in the first place and you wouldn't be here asking everyone this blind question.. God is everywhere. You just have to stop and look and notice it in the minor details.

Answer 8

first of all, he doesnt force you to love him, thats why he put you on earth, for you to have free will. Why would there be a reason not to love him, he gave up his only son to get crucifide on the cross, so you dont have to! you call that selfish. ugh, get a clue. God loves you, and yes, you will be sent to hell if you dont chose him, but when you chose him , you are rewarded, you get to spend eternity with him in heaven, and have everything you could possibly want. Why wouldnt someone want that?

Answer 9

I wasn't there but I don't think so. Anyway which god of which religion are you referring to? Or just gods in general? You don't make much sense.

Answer 10

god is nothing want to us(no demand).he want only a thing that all people loves with each other,if they do that its the worship of god.when all the people becomes happy he will happy also
