isnt it a paradox? God know our whole life,,the outcome,every move we make.So whats our purpose,,is he the puppet master? Please dont quote the Bible,, free will etc...what free will ,you dont choose him you go to Hell..sounds like the game is fixed.He made us ,he knows our flaws as humans but we still get punished for acting on them.Dont say how special I am,,you tell that to all the people,,its just a blanket statement.Dont get me wrong i do believe in God,im just in doubt ful mood.It just seem like its all a game and im just a pawn.

No sweetie, we are all born condemned under the sin of
Adam, Christ came to redeem up. Those who accept
Christ's payment for sin are redeemed and heaven bound.
You need a strong dose of humility.

You are special (sorry) because God has not created anyone like you before. Your personality and looks are unique and you have a special purpose for being on this planet, there is a plan for you. Sometimes we don't recognize it as we are traveling along, but as time goes by and you look back you will see it being shaped. There is a plan that fits perfectly with who you are. I understand your feelings about being a pawn. I felt this at one time too and did not understand God's way. He will show you so that you understand. Sometimes we ask people about spiritual questions, we don't explain it very well, but God knows exactly how to make it real.

The basic flaw with all of this is the assumption that God is all-knowing. God is not all-knowing. He knows this, but for whatever reason, most people don't.
All-knowing is an imprecise term. He knows everything that can happen, but not what will happen. There is a very big difference between the two! And God wants to know what will happen just as much as we do. We die, we return to the source, and God uses our experience to further his goal, what will happen?
I don't think God knows where he came from and is using us to find out...this is an experiment to figure it out. Will we eventually produce God again? Or something else?
Boggles the mind doesn't it?
PS you are special because there is nothing else in this world anything like you.

Believing in God is totally different from having a personal relationship with him. You speak of free will so negatively but in reality you have the freedom to choose what you want to do with your life whether you speak spiritually or not spiritually. If there was no free will then we would all be Christians, or visa versa. There is no riding the fence here! Yes God knows all but he still gives you a choice. If there was no one but you on this earth, Jesus Christ would have still given his life for you. Please don't give up hope!
Good Luck and God Bless

I don't believe that God needs us, only that He wants us. BIG DIFFERENCE! He did know that we would heve flaws and downfalls but He also gives us the ability to overcome those flaws and downfalls... He even said that if we choose not to praise Him, that the rock would cry out praises to Him, so obviously He doesn't need us.. He does love us and want us though. How would you feel if your parents only kept you around because they needed you, not because they wanted you and loved you?... He is forgiving of our downfalls. That doesn't sound like a puppet master to me. The only reason we would get punished by God for our sin is through judgement and that is because we choose not to repent. He gives us that oppertunity... God is a good God.

Here's a parallel that helps me understand. My parents wanted to have children. I didn't ask to be born. I don't always like what's going on in my life. But I am alive. My parents took care of me. I appreciate it. They also disciplined me. I didn't like any of that. But I now see the importance. As an adult, thanks to God through my parents,I know right from wrong. I know the consequences of doing wrong but I can still chose to do wrong. I think you have free will and consequences of free will mixed up. I'm glad you are a believer in God. Hard questions are not wrong. I suggest you keep asking questions and prayerfully search for the answers.

"Why does God need humans...?"
He doesn't need humans, He just likes creating.
"is he the puppet master?"
Just because God knows our moves doesn't mean He predetermined them.
"what free will ,you dont choose him you go to Hell"
Even when faced with punishment, one still has free will. Our entire criminal system is in fact based on this. Furthermore, I think what people face in hell is self-punishment, not punishment from God.

Even if God existed (which he doesn't) then he wouldn't need humans.
And you aren't special.
According to the bible, God gave us 'free will', but if we choose to exercise it, then we go to hell. Kind of a 'catch-22'.
Christians want you to believe in a sick, twisted version of an all-powerful, all-knowing creator who is jealous, wrathful, and schizophrenic - who will judge you after you die and condemn you to hell if you didn't jump through all of the right hoops.
They claim he is all about peace and love, but if you read the bible - he is the equivalent of a little child. Humans definitely made god in their image. Impatient, egotistical, and hateful.

You're not special. Neither am I. You have the capacity of rational thought and subsequently, deliberate action. These and how you use them will determine your fate in that day.

The one thing that God can not create is Love. Sinse love that is forced has no meaning. We are here as his plan to create love.
Got a better idea?
