Full Circle. God does not need us. Why, therefore, do you believe he would cause us to exist?

Question

Again, assuming that "he" exists and has influence.

Answer 1

Someone like you does everything from want or need...Why would you imagine God to operate under the same set of motives?

This construct has its own properties, they belong to it. There are others you can't fathom or measure with the devices present here.

Answer 2

For the same reason people buy "The Sims".

For the same reason parents deliberately conceive and then abuse the child.

For the same reason a person buys an animal then mistreats or abandons it.

If a God existed, I can think of no other reason to create inferior, weak creatures other than for a sense of power, domination, total control, mastery over slaves. It would be the ultimate power trip for a bored being with an inflated ego and sense of self importance.

I don't mean to offend, that's just the way I see it.

Answer 3

Wrap your brain around this. Why I'm sharing this, I really don't know.
Regardless of what you might think, the Lord still speaks today. We just don't write scripture the way they used to.

This is what the Lord revealed to me about a year ago. There is a reason. Translated into a mortal understanding, as there is no true way for us to relate with God. God abides in a realm apart from us and yet together. I know...sounds like double talk.

God gave man what we call 'freedom'. Free will is freedom. In order to experience freedom, one must have an appreciation of slavery. There is freedom or enslavement, period. (Enslavement is an even deeper subject as it entails, not only what others might do to us, but also what we do to ourselves)

Freedom is something God can never experience, as He is neither free nor slave. He is not mortal. In order for Him to experience, He must abide in man and experience through man.

While that might seem we are being used, it should seem to be an honor, as without us God cannot experience.

Love, being a creative power, requires freedom to operate. We experience this in our own lives. You can't force love.

Love is what God is and gives (again we'll run into the old controversial 'oh yeah') and for love to be fulfilled, it must be returned. Love can only return in freedom.

Therein lies the reasons of man. It's a two way street. God is fulfilled through man and man is fulfilled through God.

That's about as close as I can get to explaining what it was He told me. I could see and understand it by spirit but my mind still struggles to collect it all.

I know this sounds like crazy talk to the Christians and it sure sounds like a twister to the unbeliever. Take my word for it, there is a good reason.

P.S. Please no more emails calling me filthy names. I simply block that user because I was never sent to listen to the filth or to be called all sorts of crazy things. I am not here to argue nor will I.

Answer 4

The Bible is strangely silent on this question,other than a handful of texts,such as: “Thou hast created all things, and for Thy pleasure they are and were created.” Rev 4:11.

I do not suppose myself capable of understanding the mysteries of God,however I have created through sculpture, a number of beautiful Bonsai trees for my own selfish, personal pleasure. I believe that God's gift of life was not based on an egocentric need for pleasure or from a need for companionship,in a human sense..But choose as His nature dictates...to give unselfishly, the gift of life,where no life existed. In other words,though God certainly does take joy in what he has created..Creation of life was a gift of his goodness and *selflessness*...

Answer 5

Because one is the loneliest number.

Besides, this way things can be interesting. We can live out great ages and watch them rise and fall. We live on a rock that floats around a star and when we fall it's hell, but when we rise again it's strawberry fields. Eventually, it all gets lost in the sands of time so we can do it again some other day, with it feeling completely new.

What's happening now has happened before, and will happen again.

Answer 6

I believe we're apart of a Divine essense. Something that goes through all levels. And yes, the gods are apart of that.

I follow A god, not THE god.

Why does life exist? Why are we here? You expect Yahoo! Answers to tell you that? Psh.

Answer 7

Please read my words carefully:
If you see footmark in the sand, you'll say that someone passed from here...
If you see a piece of dog sh*t on the ground, you'll say that a dog passed from here...
So what about the enormous universe, the sky, stars, planets, earth and all the beauty in it, doesn't it lead to that someone made it?!!!

Some people say that everything is created by itself after the big-bang... I won't ask you about what caused the big-bang, but I'll ask you a simple question:
If you take all the letters of the alphabet, multiples of them, and you threw them randomly on the floor. Do you expect (by a chance of one in infinity) to get a poem like shakespear's??!!

Can't you see how organized our universe is, the planets, the eco-system on earth, look even in your own body... Can you control your heart-beat? Can you control your breath while you're sleeping? Who stopped your eye-lashes from growing after reaching a certain length? Who told the baby turtles to move towards the sea and not to the earth after they come out of their eggs? Who taught the bird how to make nests?

My friend, think with your heart and brain. If you're still lost, think about the following:

Do you know how to play safe?
Non-believer's case:
If there's no God and you do all what you want in life, then nothing will happen to you after life. But if there was God and you were mistaken, then you'll blame yourself FOREVER...

Believer's case:
If there's God and I followed His commands in life, then I'll be in Heaven after life FOREVER. But if there was no God and we're mistaken, then nothing bad will happen to us after life...

Now you know how to play-safe, in case you're not convinced?

Answer 8

god is much to mysterious for our feeble little brains to comprehend. Besides they will tell you, until you believe you will never understand.

I think hypothetically of course that god hit the bong one (what is the word I am looking for, what comes before he created day and night?)and then decided we would be a really cool science experiment.

Answer 9

So that we can post stuff on youtube.

Smells like teen spirit would be linked - but I'm worshiping at the church of the '999 error' today. Check out the Tori Amos version.

Answer 10

for His own good pleasure
