Can you help me understand God?

Question

Why did God create humans?

PS

I am asking these questions because I want to understand. I'm not trying to prove any points.

So please don't give me any "yawn" answers, like I got in my previous question.

Answer 1

god is here to help so that we can know the truth about the thing of this world ............his purpose is to save us from the dangers of this life his ......god is the one who created us in our own image............

Answer 2

God is like a father he wanted to create life because of his love and because he has the power to do so. I mean how dull would life be if all there was, was stars and planets and nothing to fill them but plants and animals that live by a process/instinct? He wanted to make something meaningful, and that could GIVE and take something alive that had free will. I mean you could only reason it in that way. If you think about it human makeup is pretty awesome and thats just the physical part not the mental and emotional part!!! It never specifies it in the Bible it does show many times he loved us and created us in his image. And sure there is angels but they aren't really a part of Earth or life, extraterrestrial yes, but organically no.

Answer 3

God created us as a demonstration of God's love and mercy and grace. God forknew and predestined that his perfect creations, Adam and Eve, will fall and betray Him. But God also knew that Godman Jesus will be the propitiation to vindicate God's mercy as a just Judge who gave mercy to the wicked, and thus God is Just and the Justifier. Look up the puritan books on propitiation and justification. Then know that all humans are to glorify God for what he has done and who He is.

Answer 4

If God was the way described by the person above me, No wonder people think God is monstrous. How could a God of love set you up for a fall. God gave us free will so when Adam & Eve sinned against God. They chose to take sides with the devil.

Answer 5

Because God is love he created man in his image with the capacity to love, think, enjoy life. He place man in a beautiful paradise garden he enjoyed perfect health and could have lived Forever that way if he did not sin. Which brought death upon mankind.

Answer 6

Good relation, God love Humans, read the Bible.

Answer 7

Do Buddhists believe in a creator god?

No, we do not. There are several logical reasons for this. The Buddha, like modern scientists, sociologists and psychologists, believed that religious ideas and especially the god idea have their origins in fear. The Buddha says:

"Gripped by Fear men go to sacred mountains, sacred groves, sacred trees and shrines." *Dhammpada 188

Primitive man found himself in a dangerous and hostile world, the fear of wild animals, of not being able to find enough food, of injury or disease, and of natural phenomena like thunder, lightning and volcanoes was constantly with him. Finding no security, he created the idea of god in order to give him comfort in good times, courage in times of danger and consolation when things went wrong. To this day, you will notice that people become more religious at times of crises, you will hear them say that the belief in a god gives them the strength they need to deal with life. You will hear them explain that they believe in god because they prayed in time of need and their prayer was answered. All this seems to support the Buddha’s teaching that the god-idea is a response to fear and frustration. The Buddha taught us to try to understand our fears, to lessen our desires and to calmly and courageously accept the things we cannot change. He replaced fear, not with irrational belief but with rational understanding.

The second reason the Buddha did not believe in a creator god is because there does not seem to be any evidence to support this idea. There are numerous religions, all claiming that they alone have god’s words preserved in their holy book, that they alone understand god’s nature, that their god exists and that the gods of other religions do not. Some claim that god is masculine, some that she is feminine and others that it is neuter. They are all satisfied that there is ample evidence to prove the existence of their god but they laugh in disbelief at the evidence other religions use to prove the existence of another god. It is not surprising that with so many different religions spending so many centuries trying to prove the existence of their gods that still no real, concrete, substantial or irrefutable evidence has been found. Buddhists suspend judgement until such evidence is forthcoming.

The third reason the Buddha did not believe in a creator god is that the belief is not necessary. Some claim that the belief in a god is necessary in order to explain the origin of the universe. But this is not so. Science has very convincingly explained how the universe came into being without having to introduce the god-idea. Some claim that belief in god is necessary to have a happy, meaningful life. Again we can see that this is not so. There are millions of Atheists, free-thinkers and Buddhists, who live useful, happy and meaningful lives without belief in a creator god. Some claim that belief in god’s power is necessary because humans, being weak, do not have the strength to help themselves. Once again, the evidence indicates the opposite. One often hears of people who have overcome great disabilities and handicaps, enormous odds and difficulties through their own inner resources, through their own efforts and without belief in a god. Some claim that god is necessary in order to give man salvation. But this argument only holds good if you accept the theological concept of salvation and Buddhists do not accept such a concept. Based on his own experience, the Buddha saw that each human being had the capacity to purify the mind, develop infinite love and compassion and perfect understanding. He shifted attention from the heavens to the heart and encouraged us to find solutions to our problems through self-understanding.

But if there is no creator god how did the universe get here?

All religions have myths and stories which attempt to answer this question. In ancient times, when man simply did not know, such myths were adequate, but in the 20th century, in the age of physics, astronomy and geology, such myths have been superseded by scientific fact. Science has explained the origin of the universe without recourse to the god-idea.
