Is God lonely?

[Blissman]

I can only understand the world from the perspective of a mortal human being.
As mortals, we need to hope for a better world, a future. We need problems to try to overcome. If, for the sake of arguement, IF I suddenly knew all that there is to know, and could do all things, I would have nothing left to think about, nor anything to try. I would be bored. An eternal life of this would be eternally creul. Alone, I would go mad.

Is God Christ's Father, lonely? Does He have a wife? Parents? Is He lonely?
Did He make man because He needed man? Is the asp a blessing?

Maybe thats why he has a sense of humour and plays with our little human minds....thats what I would do.

God is perfect. So, no, I don't believe He's lonely. Notice I didn't say "No, He's not lonely." I don't pretend to understand God, and what He feels.

I think deities have a completely different view of things--they probably do not think as a human would.
Lonely is something we feel as we exist in our material bodies, to imagine what it feels like to exist any other way is unfathomable.

I don't think he has time to be lonely!lol!!

I know, like Blissman said, that I woould get lonely under those circumstances. I imagine though that he was a bit lonely. He wanted someone to love him, so that is why he created us. He also wanted someone to love. I imagine that is why he gavve us free will also. What is the point of being loved if those loving you have no choice. Kind of like programming a computer to show a picture of a smiley face every time you log on.

I know i would go mad too

Parents?

This somewhat ties into the question of If god made man, who made god. Dont wanna sidetrack the thread with that, just felt like pointing it out.

Did He make man because He needed man?

Why do people living by themselves often by pets? Companionship. I think its the same reason god would have made people for.

As to the loneliness... if some people go to heaven do they ever get to meet god there? cause if they do then im sure that might be a pleasant way to kill eternity

"Say god do you remember the time I..."
"Yes Bob, i made you remember" "
Oh right... well what about that other time I.."
"Just stop bob"

man i amuse myself sometimes

I think God's creation gives Him all the company He needs.

I don't think He's lonely at all.

Namaste blissman,

thank you for the thread.

interestingly enough.. this is exactly why Brahma created. He was alone and felt lonely. of course, that is a bit of a simplisitc explanation though it should suffice for our conversation for now.

i'd be happy to expound on this a bit futher if you are interested.

No, God is not lonely in any way... Because God is Love (this is because he is three seperate beings/entities), God is perfect love and fellowship within Himself since Heis made up of three seperate persons...

Does He have a wife? Parents?

No and no

Did He make man because He needed man?

I've never read the expressed purpose as to why God made men, many believe it was to have something that would chose to worship Him.. But no matter what you believe, it must follow along the lines as we're here to glorify God..
