Peace RejectnotFaith,
Once again this is the one point no one ever seems to understand and they always take it as a negative concept such as a slavedriver. Do not take my words and flip them around like that. I did not say he was a slavedriver for that in essence is a pessimitic term. He created the heaven and the earth and everything else, He depends on no one and all depend on Him. We are his slaves/servants. Our mission to return back to God, to serve him. He is our heavenly Father, but that is just where a problem is. It is not wrong to say he is our heavenly Father, but this leads to humanity once again putting ourselves at such a level we think that God needs us. This is a false statement.
You are right that God does not need us to exist, but you make it sound like He doesn't really care.
If God truly didn't need us, He wouldn't have created us.
He has plenty of angels serving Him and praising Him in Heaven.
Harsh impersonal deity, why are you putting bs words into my mouth? Did I say that, I apologize if you misunderstood. Once again if you have true faith in God then you must not raise questions like If God doesn't need anything from us they why did He even create us? Of all religious texts it all points to that God created man so that man can go through life as a test and return to Him, we are His agents. He does not require our existence. I never said that we humans are just pieces of useless beings moving around on some planet, indeed we are unique in that God in His Glory and Mercy gave us a life, a soul and a chance to return to Him.
However as unique as we may be and as master piece we are, God can still exist without our praise. He wont be crying because were gone.
No misunderstandings, I just see your view of God as a little harsh. That is just from my perspective.
I do believe that God expresses sorrow when He see's billions of sinful people falling into hell.
God expresses emotions over us.
Remember the parable of the Prodigal SOn...God is this father.
God loves us even when we are ungrateful sinners.
Finally on your comment on the concept of love and why God loves us so much. I don't understand why people cannot understand the words GOD IS ALL POWERFULL AND HATH POWER OVER ALL THINGS. It sticks out in the Bible I am sure. We love Him and in Return He will show love to us, but die for us? THIS IS GOD. G O D.
Understand also that God is capable of all things.
Would you deny that God is capable of transcending to this world as a man?
If God wished to do this, then so be it. God knows what is best for us.
