Why were we created?

[Walking_With_Angels]

Think about it...Why did God create us? Was it for his own amusement, or is there something we are supposed acheive, or dicover that God himself needed a mortal to discover? If this was the case then why did he make us in this image and not perfect? I know that the Bible says we are created in Gods image, but I think it meant spiritually, not physically. Anyway, When it was Adam and Eves time, why didnt God prevent Eve from eating that fruit? Im pretty sure he could. Or maybe God cant mess with Satan because they are the exact opposite of each other. That might be why we were created, because God wanted to overthrow Satan, and somehow needed our assistance. Any thoughts on this?

God created us to know Him, to love Him, and to serve Him in this world, and to be eternally happy with Him in the next world.

God also gave us a great gift of free will. Without free will there would be no merit in serving God for we would be forced to do it.

The part of us that is made in God's image is our soul. This is why Satan hates us. God created Satan. Satan has no power that is not permitted for him to have by God.

In Christ, Patrick

God didn't create us a single cell did billions of years ago.

We have free will cause every animal in the world is free.

We are here to live and explore the universe, and reproduce.

Who created that single cell????????????????????????????
Animals live by instinct not reason. Animals do not have a will.
And yes, I can agree with your last statement- as long as it is done for the glory of God.

There is no conflict between faith and science. The more we learn about science in the universe- the closer we come to God who created that universe.

In Christ, Patrick

We believe that we know how the cell was created but we will probably never know completely it could have been with Alien help which I would believe before I would believe a god did it. Animals have well look at gorillas there is people that are trying to make a law so they have the same rights that we do.

We don't need god to explore the universe and reproduce.

There is a big conflict between GOD and science. And the more we learn about he universe we are finding out that god doesn't exist or exist like in the bible. There is almost proof that there was a big bang and not a creation that is in the bible.

Very nice question thank you...

We all have this question, but we will not fully understand this until we are in heaven. No where in the Bible nor anywhere else there a full explanation of why we are here and God's motives behind it. It is one of the infinity mysterious questions we have in our life. As I know, we were created to be a family and give praise to our Father. But if you disect this and ask why, why why, those will have to wait

God bless

Back to that first cell---
The first law of physics is this-
Energy cannot be created or destroyed.

So how was this first cell created if not by a supreme creator????????

It isn't like you think poof first cell LOL. It took at long time after the formation of the earth - it took the right chemicals to form the first cell.

It also takes a blue print. You can not put a man on the moon without a plan. It does not just happen.

If you could build a 747 airplane without a blueprint, a plan or a designer, then I will believe the cell just happened.

Seesaw, you should smell what you're shovelling.

Well folks throw away those bibles - we don't need them now

Just ask Seesaw and he'll have the definate answer to everything in the universe from creation to life. Might as well forget God.

Pity, many scientists would disagree with a lot of what he says. Especially and increasingly those that do add a creator into their equations feeling and understanding that the universe and it's laws (laws??? how did they get there?) are too fine tuned to just come about from some accidental explosion of energy and matter.
Maybe God created this claimed big bang? I don't know, all I do know is there is a lot more out there than we mortal men will ever grasp.

(Prov. 1:7) The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Blueprint, what blueprint? If you want to go there we could just say that aliens could have made the first cell AND it's possible there is physicist that say that life a lot more advanced could have and still existed billions of years ago. Man can recreate a cell with the right chemicals if the condition sare right other wise known as evolution.

All you need to get life on a planet is the rght chemicals if the conditions. I bet you my life that there is life on other planets and it's caused by the right chemicals if the conditions.

But where did the elements of that first formed cell come from?????????????????????????????????????????????

From the earth. That is the based way I can say it heh.

Hey Seesaw,

You love physics, right? If matter cannot be created or destroyed- how did the first matter come into being?

 

[panterapat]

Many great minds have stunted themselves by excluding the existance of God. The truly greatest minds are awed by the universe and know that there must be a God.

Well we believe that there was a singularity that started the big bang something happened to the singularity.

Btw a singularity is a really small point in space where space and time are wacked.

Like who? Btw we know that the big bang happened there is just so much evidence and there is a echo of a big bang. But hey who knows we all could be wrong and YOUR god could have created the universe though the big bang. But I don't think we are wrong.

 

[panterapat]

Seesaw,

I have read "A Brief History in time" and "The Universe in a Nutshell". The more I read of the complexities of the universe- the more I am convinced that God created it.

Again- Where did that singularity come from. Don't be a P-brane. If you've read Hawking you'll know what I mean.

In Christ, Patrick

I have read Stephen Hawking and no one knows where the singularity came from some believe it was always there. But to say that god did it crazy there is no evidence to back it up and there will never be. You believe with faith I believe with evidence.

Seesaw-

Like I said:
I'll go directly to God through faith.
You may have to wait on science and take the long way around to find the ultimate Truth in God. Keep searching.
