Why Did God Create Man - your opinion on this text please?

Question

CCC 1 - God, infinitely perfect and blessed in himself, in a plan of sheer goodness freely created man to make him share in his own blessed life. For this reason, at every time and in every place, God draws close to man. He calls man to seek him, to know him, to love him with all his strength. He calls together all men, scattered and divided by sin, into the unity of his family, the Church. To accomplish this, when the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son as Redeemer and Savior. In his Son and through him, he invites men to become, in the Holy Spirit, his adopted children and thus heirs of his blessed life.

CCC 2 - So that this call should resound throughout the world, Christ sent forth the apostles he had chosen, commissioning them to proclaim the gospel: "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age." Strengthened by this mission, the apostles "went forth and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by the signs that attended it."

Answer 3

I think the text is nicely written and sounds far more inclusive then most religious text I come across which usually centers around the notion that a certain group of believers in a certain thing are the special ones, the ones with the knowledge, and the only ones who will be saved. But the whole sacrifical lamb in the form of my Son who actually is me is a concept that is odd to me. Because I'll be honest with you since you are asking my opinion, I'd be pretty hard pressed to think a girl loved me if she told me she would kill her son for me. I think she was loony and I would call Child Protective Services. That's my two cents.

Answer 4

God Create Man.

We are here on earth for God. We are not here for ourselves or for money, or for anything else.
God created us with the capacity to know Him, love Him and obey Him forever. The Eternal God has given each of us an eternal soul. It is God's will that we have a deep and wonderful relationship with Him.

When God created the body of man from the dust of the earth, it was without life. God did it in this way to teach us that man, in himself, has no power over life. Man cannot give himself life and man cannot create anything that lives.
God is the Lord of Life, and in Him alone can life be found.
Life does not come from man, it is a gift from God.

God has given a man a spirit that has the possibilities of enjoying a meaningful relationship with the Living God.
We can have a wonderful relationship with God, If we believe and receive the righteous way of salvation that He has established.

Answer 5

Simply to pass the exam and enjoy the eternal life in PARADISE. I don’t want to spend my remain life in hellfire .
The whole life is an open book exam.
Now what is the book/s?
Old testimony
Gospel
Bible
Or something else?
The mentioned book hasn't give clear answer and I am saying that because when you read one of them you feel confused about very simple questions which is HOW many GODS ? IS JESUS just a prophet , another god or son?

For me I'm not confused any more since I've found the answer in very Simple book very , very simple
It is QURAN
I am very happy, I understand my Rule. I have studied the book to pass the final question in the exam which is DEATH three questions.

Answer 6

” Revelation 4:11 says, “Thou hast created all things, and for Thy pleasure they are and were created.” Colossians 1:16 reiterates the point: “All things were created by Him and for Him.”

Being made in the image and likeness of God (Genesis 1:27), human beings have the ability to know God—and therefore love Him, worship Him, serve Him, and fellowship with Him. God did not create human beings because He needed them. As God, He needs nothing. In all eternity past, He felt no loneliness, so He was not looking for a “friend.” He loves us, but this is not the same as needing us. If we had never existed, God would still be God—the Unchanging One (Malachi 3:6).

Answer 7

That is a great text and I thank you very much fr posting it. I have made a folder for Catholics to put this in. I am a Protestant.

To understand this better for me I say God is love. And love is a creative act and force. Love creates love or beings that need love. It is hard to explain even though I have posted this here several times. But I am glad to see this same viewpoint I have held for many years reflected in both CC! and CC2.

Bless you.

Answer 8

God created humans as any other wild animals on Earth to be fruit-full and multiply to build up the number of our species with one exception. He would put His DNA in us to make the difference between us and all the other species of life God created to live on Earth. We are the closest physical and mental being to resemble God and His angles.

Answer 9

i think you have the right answer for what you wrote is great.because man was to live perfect and upright in the sight of God but man sinned and come short of the glory of God.man was to live in a beautiful garden and take care of this garden. but man was sad God could see this so God caused man to fall asleep.God took a rib from the side of man and made a woman.and she was called woman because she came from man.God saw this was good. now look at this God made man in His own image male and female created He them. God already told them what they could do in this garden they could eat of every tree of the garden but they could not eat of the tree in the midst of the garden or would die.but here comes the Devil or theSerpent and goes to the woman and said yeah' hath God said ye shall not eat of every tree of the graden. she said only one tree that we can not eat of that tree in the midst of the graden.the Serpent sure you can God knows that you will know more than He does. so she did eat and gave to her husband and he did eat.now their eyes were open and they knew they were naked and sewed fig leaves together which made aprons..trying to run from God or hide which we can't do.everyone of us should learn that God has our number.

Answer 10

i am a Christian, Catholics and CHristian aren't TOO far apart....but we have our disagreements....anyways Yeah God Created us, and the world, not as we know it, that aws our doing with the whole fall of man thing. If you want to know why he created us the way he did, then your trying to understand the thought process of the LORD wich is very difficult, but it seems to me all your info is on the right tract. :)_
