If God created a whole other world besides the physical one, what was the point of the physical world?

Answer 1

the book Conversations with God covers this question babe ... and I like the explaination it gives

God created a spiritual world , for companionship and to learn from
as God being a deity , has no experiences , therefore is not a perfect being
but the spiritual beings he created couldnt experience physical things like love , hate , pain etc
so they had to take a little stop , to a physical life .... to learn from in order to teach God

I like the idea of us teaching God ... it makes more sense for me
how can a spiritual being know everything without a physical existence ?
so we are Gods eyes , ears , hands , heart etc

Answer 2

This dichotomy is simply an expression of our human limitations. Because we can't comprehend returning to non-sentience, we've fabricated what we believe is a comprehensible explanation. God, the afterlife, the soul, the spirit... these are all just coping mechanisms for what is, essentially, a bleak destiny. Our bodies stop metabolizing. Our brains die. Awareness ends. We decompose, and the elements that made us return to the universe to be incorporated into other things. Rest assured, there is only one "world" and we never leave it, but we exist in it, in different ways, forever. That's sort of comforting.

Answer 3

Theres proof that the world was created by some type of dust in space that clumped together and formed earth. It was on the news a while ago, so they basically said theres no such thing as god.

Answer 4

Yeah, good question.

The physical world is a place where we can either Accept Christ or Reject him.

He loves us all and has given everyone the opportunity to accept him.

Since each of us have sinned, there is no way we can earn our way into Heaven.

Romans 3:23 - For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

God knew that so he sent his perfect Son Jesus to die on the cross for our sins to pay our debt that we couldn't'.

John 3:16 - For God, so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, whoever believes in him, shall not perish but have everlasting life.

You have the opportunity to receive this free gift and go to Heaven which is what God wants. Or reject it and go to Hell.

Seek and you shall find my friend. I pray that you will find the answer before its to late.

Answer 5

This world is a type or shadow of the spiritual realm. It is a taste of things yet to come.
For example, Jews understand the Tabernacle Moses built to be a replica of the one he saw that G-d showed him in Heaven.

Answer 6

God is the creator of all, perhaps an infinite number of universes, all with different laws of physics..How would we ever comprehend the Mind of God.

Answer 7

He needed to invent this earth so that humans could evolve in order to invent beer, bikini's and Xbox 360.

DUH!!

Please people, get a life. And I mean this life. There is no afterlife and you just wasting this one pursuing the other.

Answer 8

We are here to learn and build our spirits full of knowledge from our experiences so we grow daily on earth....life long learning.
That's why everything here is temporary, made to chip, scratch, dent, die, rot and decay. Except for our spirit...we take that and the knowledge with us on our journey.

Answer 9

It is all an all-at-oneness.

Answer 10

for His pleasure... He took the spiritual and the physical and combined them here. don't get the idea that you can't live a spiritual life in the physical realm. it is only to the spiritual realm our souls are transported, because the body of sin must die.
