Did God make us because He wanted us to spread the Word of Him? but why would He do that?

Confused! Please help.

God made us because He longed for companionship. Yes, he knew what would happen...but think about this....

As a parent, I knew that my child would make her own mistakes...I did not choose to have her because I wanted a perfect being...I had her because I desired to invest some of myself in someone who had great possibilities.

So much more so does God want to invest in us.

God is greater than sin and is not intimidated by it. Before we were even created God knew man would sin and made a way through Jesus. He created us first because he loved us and wanted to share all the beauty of Himself and what He created. Spreading the Word of Jesus is just an honor that we get to share with others

Why did God create the human race? The answer often given by Christians is that God "wanted friends." But God had millions and millions of "friends" when He created the angels. Why did He create an entirely different order of being: humanity?

And why did God create humanity into a universe already heavily contaminated with sin?

The human race is not responsible for sin. Sin was ALREADY present in the universe when God created Adam and Eve. Satan and his evil angels had been sinning for some period of time, maybe a very long time, before Adam and Eve were created.

Why didn't God solve the SIN problem with the angels? After all, that's where the sin problem started. Why was the human race drawn into this mess? We didn't ask to be here. Not a single one of us asked to be born. And we certainly didn't ask to be born sinners. I don't mean that babies are born sinning, I just mean that, as the Bible says, "ALL have sinned. . ." Romans 3:23.

Why did God create Adam and Eve perfect and then put Satan right in their neighborhood?

If God really didn't want Adam and Eve to sin, why did God place the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil right in their "living room" where they had to pass by it every day?

Also, why did God create a single tree that contained the knowledge of BOTH good and evil? In other words, why did God combine "good" and "evil" in the same tree?

Before Adam and Eve sinned, is there any Biblical record that they ever praised God? The answer is "No."

Before they sinned, did Adam and Eve understand what a magnificent garden God had given them for their home? How could they, they had never experienced anything else.

Before they sinned, did Adam and Eve understand what good health was? How could they, they had never been sick! They had never seen disease nor death in anything—not in humanity, not in animals, nor in plants.

Adam and Eve could not appreciate any of these things because they had never known anything other than perfection.

The fact is, it is impossible to know what good health is unless you've been sick or you have seen sickness in someone else. It's impossible to be appropriately grateful for all you have if you have never been without. It's impossible to know "good" unless you have known the opposite: "evil."

The only way we change is by going through difficult times. If everything is going well, we'll just keep right on doing what we're doing. The ONLY reason we change course, and begin to grow in maturity and spirituality, the ONLY way we build character, is by going through trials.

Jesus came to this earth for at least three reasons: a) to reveal the true character of God, b) to show His great love for us by dying on the Cross and, c) to do away with sin. The Bible says that "the Lamb was slain from the foundation of the world" Revelation 13:8.

The Plan of Salvation obviously was in place BEFORE the earth was created. Something had to be done to provide salvation for sinners or all would have been lost. Satan and the evil angels were already sinners before any human being was created.

Again, why didn't God solve the "sin problem" with the angels, who were obviously the first sinners? Mankind, Adam and Eve, were initially novices in the "sin" business which had been going on for some time in the heavenly realms before their creation on earth.

God's plan was for Jesus to come as a "man" and die for the sins of the world. Why couldn't Jesus have come as an angel and died for the sinning angels? Why did God instead have to create the human race, the majority of whom would go through hell on earth, then die, only to be resurrected, judged and then annihilated or "burned," either forever, or "as long as they deserve"?

In order for Jesus to come in the form of an angel, to die for the sins of the evil angels, angels would have to be capable of dying.

That is a question for the ages. He wanted to share His love with someone else. Therefore, He made Adam and Eve. They had children. Love must be a free choice or it isn't real love. Therefore, God gave us the choice to love Him or to sin.

It's obvious by your question, that you have not read the bible. If you want the answers you should read it yourself. Don't take the word of anyone else. I suggest you get a New Living Translation of the Holy Bible, which is written in plain modern English and find the answers, they are in there.

If God knew what Satan was going to do, then why did he create him in the first place? It's all just a bunch of bull. Primitive thinking just doesn't cut it. People are born with no beliefs and religion is learned... enough said

God didn't make us, he organized us into what we are now. Read biblical accounts in ancient languages and this becomes clear (the word "organize" as opposed to "create from thin air"). We already existed, albeit in a different state.

God is overseeing the progression of intelligence. That's what gods do. :)

Why would he create Lucifer, knowing that he would rebel and cause millions and millions of humans to be tortured in hell?

The answer is clear. God either doesn't exist or is exceedingly cruel, or isn't omniscient.

simply to balance our life!!! if there's good there's evil!!! He wants our tongue to praise him and spread his word because sometimes somehow this world will turn out to fire and he will save his children who obey his words until the end.
