Why did God make us at all?

[Zestyassmf1997]

For those of you who believe in that sort of thing, obviously.

I reckon he doesn’t need us because God has no needs. He doesn’t actually want us because God wants for nothing. The best answer I can come up with is that our creation wouldn’t really serve any purpose beyond just giving us an existence to experience. He made us for the sake of our own enjoyment or something. What do you guys think?

[NamerOfStars]

What makes you think God doesn't need us? If God is, in any way, infinite, then He encompasses everything, and nothing can be, in any absolute sense, separated from Him.

Likewise, if God doesn't want us, then why give us such a wondrous universe to explore and steward? Why make such an effort over so long a time period to guide us? Why rejoice more over one person lead astray turning back than a dozen righteous men?

I think you've wandered off into the weeds following dogma, instead of thinking it through on your own terms. Too much Paul and not enough Gibran. "And if you would know God, be not therefore a solver of riddles. Rather look about you and you shall see Him playing with your children."

[Billlewis]

I don't believe it happened that way at all, but I respect anyone's opinion that differs from my own.

[Zestyassmf1997]

Humor me, Bill. Cook up the best theory you can.

[Billlewis]

I think each of us must decide for ourselves what our purpose in life is. That's better than sitting around wondering what it is, right?

[Zestyassmf1997]

Wise words, Bill. Thank you for your contribution.

[Billlewis]

Yes, Sir.

Why did God make us at all on my life? I have sought the question. Why are we why but I realize why doesn't have an answer. Only questions not why God made us because you wanted something good. It's just like your baker and you bake case blah blah blah bread everyday year in year out it comes a point where you want something special. You just want to create something special that's different from the norm and in this case it was a life form which was us. We were supposed to define who God is. Why he exists. That's us. He gave the best of himself and everything the best of other life forms and put it in us all in us just like you're taking. You know you build your hot rod you taking the parts off this car that car just to build the best. You know that defines you and your capabilities. That's why we exist and he bet he created us because he had. He wanted us to be perfect like they like he is to be like a beacon for the rest of the life that exists in the universe. Like this is how you should be like these people here. But Satan wasn't having none of that. He was like wait a minute. I can't be over this one but you know always go out in and break in the new races. You know that we we encounter with him show them the way but Satan had a heavy hand. Those cries was heard all throughout the universe. God heard it. So when he created us he's like nah brother this is off. I got this here. You know you're not doing such a good job out there. So I got this here and just you know back off go get me glass of water or something you know. Probably not something like that but the theme of it all was. That's how I went down. Satan got pissed. I'm going to fix you man. Look perfect. Things over there. Look at them small small scrawny don't even measure up to us. We are embodyment of perfection God was like. Yeah that was true once but as you grow old and mature you begin to define just what perfection is Satan couldn't understand that he's like man. I'm perfection. I'm the best. I'm the beautiful one. You said so. So many times everyone knows God was like yes while he's still sculpting us. You know God just talking to say like yes I hear you once you were and that did it man savings like yeah and show you see how perfect these little chumps are and you should you know the rest of the history but to your question he created us so that we can do perfect. He gave us free will which the angels didn't have. They were very angry about that but they tooken off this war to obey God. No matter what God said, protect us they did but they hated us at first but they never harmed a human. No overtime. We harmed ourself by being enticed by Satan where you guys know all his story. But the bottom line is the theme that I'm trying to get to. The point is that we are the beacon. The shining light will lead by example. That's what we're supposed to do for the rest of the universe. It's life all through the universe. Believe me, that's every stage of evolution. There's life all through the universe okay and we the humans on this earth are supposed to be the beacon. The light that says that's what we should be like. That's why I created us. But of course man, you know humans is weak. Satan showed him some naked girls and they said like oh s*** I'm there. They just forgot everything. God taught him some liquor. Some weed to you know That's why we got weed growing here. What's that same corrupted man but they're those that stood fast and you know didn't fall for that and that's why the battle has been raging on throughout all his millenniums because Satan got pissed off that he wasn't mr. Perfect no more and here we are. The battle between good and evil continues and this is long and when I just told you was real. That's the real story. Not all of it, but most of it. I'm not going to tell you that there wasn't actually a God in heaven nor Satan in hell, but they were brothers that odds about how to. How much do we give them? Cuz we don't want them being like us on that same level. That's all I say on that. I don't want to challenge anybody's faith but you guys got to be your homework on that one. The text from thousands of years ago. No study of theology along with everything else. Life was full of nothing but learning schools traveling. Learning this because I wanted to know I've had the question burning in you. Why do we exist? Why does everything exist? I don't believe that big bank crap. No it's order. Yes sometimes water comes out of chaos but not structured order as we have. Hope this kind of shed some lighting unanswering your question. I try to always tell the truth here. It might sound odd. Weird, but I try to tell the truth as best as I've learned it or I'll say nothing. And I've done a lot of s*** in my life by the time I was 20. When I'm bragging I'm just saying I didn't have a normal life and what I've experienced wasn't normal and we don't know s*** about this earth you should have did that was scared. A holy hell out of you. If you knew it it existed. We don't know. You're not being taught. You're proper history. This is so much cover up and it don't need it. Shouldn't be that way. Well, the simple fact that look what happened when Martin Luther open to people's eyes to religion when they started reading it for himself because before it's just the Catholic Church. Was the one's telling them all about godness that religion and who knows what kind of crap they were telling her when the people started reading it for themselves they understood it their way and it was a lot of misinterpretation and it was a lot of chaos and a lot of people died. So you can't overload people with information with certain information all at once because you have chaos she get a chance. Read about the reformation Martin Luther it was shocked you and enlighten you

[ImHere22]

You 'reckon' huh? Well I reckon it's pointless to philosophize about the 'why's' of the universe since we'll never receive the answers. Why ask an unanswerable question? It's not like this god being is ever really going to answer.

Something made us alright. A bunch of hot, gaseous matter fused together with some minerals and other stuff. Over some time, it blended, cooked, cooled, did more transformations, split, multiplied, did more changes than we can comprehend, and voila, in 1997, you were born and in 2024 you posted the question of "why". The gods created humans because it gave something to do. If a being is immortal and knows no bounds, then what is time to it but another law that does not apply to it, and therefore, in the largest of scales and the smallest of scales, there is no necessity for a creationist being to care one way or the other about the length of time of humanity's existence. When we've killed ourselves off, we'd still have only been here a fraction, of a fraction of a second, a shorter time than countless other creatures long extinct before we even remotely began to come about this plane.

Good night-

[jshm2]

Because God cannot be ungodly.

He could chuck people straight into hellfire without life and trial as they are that type of people. He could place people into heaven, likewise. But that would be ungodly, as God knows, but we do not.

Hence you're living your life as proof that you deserve what you get in the end. You cannot deny it either, as you have lived the life, and made your decisions. That "book of life" you are judged on is a literal account of your lived life.

It's why religions all agree you should have the best intentions in everything. As even if you did wrong, it was your capability that let you down, and you did not intend evil or have malice.

[Zestyassmf1997]

But I mean why go through the process of creating us, and hell, and heaven at all.

[ChefPapiChulo]

Impossible to comprehend what an omnipotent being would be thinking.

If humans were so smart that they could understand their own mind, purpose, being of existence, we wouldn’t be that smart.

The last thing is a hard concept to understand, let me know if you want further explanation.

[Zestyassmf1997]

Well, impossible doesn’t mean we can’t try.

[ChefPapiChulo]

Of course we can try, but I doubt it. Our brain is literally so complex, it’ll never be fully understood. And figuring out our brain I think is the key to finding out our purpose and would probably lead to learning how we were created.

[Sour-rose]

god has a plan. Simple as that. What is that plan, sour? Simple... you'll know that on your own. 🖤

[sean1234]

Strange, I remember asking a similar question in the past that is not in my questions section anymore 🤔 What is the meaning of life?

Anyhow we are here to read and obey God's word while at the same time resisting the temptations of Satan.

[sean1234]

Oh yeah, my opinion of it was incorrect.

[sean1234]

... and got rid of it

[strateguy632]

why? so that we could choose in various situations. only for us. god has zero needs.

[Anonymous]

Yah I could agree that it's just to give things (us) enjoyment. Maybe God just wanted to make better use of his abilities and make something neat. Apparently we do function to some extent in a similar way as far as our emotions. Maybe it was a way to have interesting interactions.

[loveslongnails]

So we'd eventually get to have George Carlin. Oh, and rock music too.

[DizzyDesii]

To live, love, laugh, learn and reproduce

[Zestyassmf1997]

Did you read that on a poster in the waiting room at a doctor’s office or something?

[slatyb]

Everything make so much more sense if you leave God out of it.

[RebelinSteel]

Bad sense of humour

[Zestyassmf1997]

Sometimes I wonder…

[LaurenM1997]

God didn’t make us our parents did

[Zestyassmf1997]

Oh you…

[LaurenM1997]

What?

[sean1234]

Lol, technically yes. Who made Adam and Eve?

[LaurenM1997]

@sean1234 I don’t believe in god 🙄

[Zestyassmf1997]

Read literally the first line of the text under the question.

[jahaims]

If God has no needs why are there ten commandments listing gods needs

[Zestyassmf1997]

Those aren’t needs. Those are rules for us to live by. Also, I’m basing the idea the he has no needs on the Abrahamic idea of god being totally perfect. Something totally perfect doesn’t have needs.

[jahaims]

By that logic, nothing has needs.

[Zestyassmf1997]

Of course things have needs. I have needs. You have needs. But we’re not perfect. Besides, you’re missing the point of the question.

[jahaims]

Name one need of a human

[Zestyassmf1997]

Food. Water. Shelter.

[jahaims]

Those aren't needs as you don't have to stay alive. Staying alive isn't an obligation.

[Zestyassmf1997]

You’re only able to make that point if you’re alive. In any case, the question was why god made us at all?

[jahaims]

A religious person, changing the subject repeatedly when logic is applied. I'm not surprised. You don't have to be alive for a fact to be a fact. You don't understand logic, so it makes sense why you are so easily tricked into being in a cult.

[Zestyassmf1997]

How embarrassing would it be if it turned out I wasn’t religious at all and merely enjoy asking these sorts of questions?

[JayBones]

Have you ever been all powerful with nobody to impress? Have you ever been truly alone? If you had been you'd create so many things.

[strateguy632]

but that wouldn't describe a godly god sho doesn't NEED to impress. no needs.

[Kingofkings1992]

Good question. As a matter of fact, humans existence is proof positive god doesn’t exist. If there was a god, such an atrocious species like humans would have never came about.

[strateguy632]

atrocious species? that is human CHOICE and evil. you can't blame god for the choices of others.

[Anonymous]

So he wouldn't exist alone. I also heard aliens made us.

[dreamstar72]

Maybe be as a test planet.

[exitseven]

He needed some comic relief.

[elaphe]

To love and help each other.

[boobliker]

to see how long before we fuck it all up!!!
