Christians: Did God create us all individually?

Question

Did he choose how we were born?

Answer 1

Read Psalm 139 to find out.

Answer 2

God created us all uniquely in the womb. I do believe that he knows everything that is going to happen to us, but not all of it is His will. For instance, it is not the will of God that any should commit murder. That being said, He knows who will be killed by someone else. I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "Did he choose how we were born?" Do you mean how we physically looked, what type of birth we had, any birth defects...?

Answer 3

Yes, and yes.

Read Psalm 139...... especially verses 13 through 16.

Answer 4

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.

Answer 5

The illusion is individuality. God is omnipresent. Who is it that claims His authority?

Answer 6

Read Jeremiah 5....But yes God did create us in his own image and there is no one like you on the face of the earth....WE SERVE AN ALLMIGHTY GOD!!!

Answer 7

24 hours is an afternoon in basic terms on earth. different planets in basic terms in our image voltaic equipment have days of differing lengths. Being free of any planet, an afternoon could properly be any length one chooses. what's sparkling is that few human beings somewhat study the account in Genesis. a million:a million properly-knownshows the heavens and the actual universe have been already in existence earlier the innovative Days started out. They shop on with in basic terms to creation of existence on earth. And nevertheless they hate to admit it, the fossil record exhibits existence progressed in basic terms by way of fact the Bible recorded. First dry land, flora, sea existence, etc. till finally people--the unique pair interior the Fertile Crescent in basic terms by way of fact the Bible reported. Genetics additionally teach all races of people come from an unique pairing. Restarted with Noah and family contributors after the Flood. The Bible states Adam & Eve have been created as desirable people. that still applies to their genetic code. nevertheless they lost their perfection, their genetics have been very almost desirable and did no longer degrade right this moment. Noah could nevertheless have been close adequate to Adam for his family contributors to have the code to offer all races we've today. God in no way procreated each and each human beings yet did equip his creations to reproduce on their own. As to the size of those days, as there have been 7 of them, they could be equivalent in length. To the 1st-century Hebrew Christians, the apostle Paul wrote: “There maintains to be a sabbath resting for the human beings of God. For the guy that has entered into God’s relax has additionally himself rested from his own works, in basic terms as God did from his own. enable us to consequently do our utmost to head into into that relax.”—Hebrews 4:9-11. this could mean that 4,000 years later, that seventh day of relax became nevertheless happening. that is now very almost 2,000 years by way of fact that element. The Bible exhibits it won't end till God’s purpose related to mankind and the earth is thoroughly fulfilled on the tip of the Thousand year Reign of Jesus Christ, who's the “Lord of the sabbath.”—Matthew 12:8; Revelation 20:a million-6; 21:a million-4. That makes the entire time of one innovative Day at 7,000 years each and each, or 40 two,000 years of in basic terms arising existence on earth. See that issues are no longer so complicated as quickly as one somewhat learn the fabric.
