First, I apologize if this is the wrong forum.

Well why did God creat us? Creat everything? He doesn’t need us; he doesn’t depend on us. What’s the point? He could easily live without us, but we cannot live without Him.

But why did He do what He did?
 
He did not create us sinful. He desired to share His love with an “other” who would be able to love in return.
 
But He knew we would fall, so what was the point of it in the first place? Why would He create, only for us to rebel and turn to evil, thus not loving Him back?

How did you arrive to this conclusion?:confused:
especially the first sentence?

because He wanted to.

you’re right, He doesn’t need us. but it is wonderful to know that He does wants us. He made us in His image to commune with Him, know Hium, worship Him, and enjoy fellowship with Him as our God, Saviour, Shepherd, Lord and Friend. a relationship made possible for all through Christ.
 
What if all artists did was simply think of their possible creations, yet never commit any to canvas? Would they be still considered artists, or “creators” of art, not really would they.

Along us being the way we are, and God loving us anyway, I’ll put my cat into an example. He gets jealous of me paying attention to other cats, he sometimes gets in a bad mood and has clawed me, sometimes he plays rough knowing full well I’ll end up with some scratch marks, he really hates cat competition for my affections and plops down right in front of my monitor while I’m trying to work. Ok, that’s the bad, the good, he’s very dependent upon me, he truly enjoys my company, especially if there are no other cats in the picture, he gives me love an affection and acts like a total baby sometimes, it’s rather pitiful for a full grown cat to behave in his way, being wary being in unfamiliar territory, and I have to come and rescue him while he does his funny little cat please/meow wimpers during those times, making himself appear all helpless. Kind of like how we behave with God just as well.

I love my kittie, wouldn’t have him any other way, well, could use some of those rough edges worked out, but I accept him, quirks and all, just as how he is, and even when he’s in one of those moods, I know they are temporary and I don’t take them too seriously, knowing he’s going to come back around to his normal self again once he’s had his tantrum. Again, just like God and us.

Why create, why not, what he created is very special though, not just some object, as only man creates, he has made something in us that lasts for eternity, and gives it to us as a gift.
 
He created you because He knew you before the foundations of the world, and He wanted you not only to receive his perfect and immutable love, but to also experience the great joy of sharing this same love with others! So that you would be a co-creator with him and a channel to funnel his love to others just as he did to you!

There is a great joy that comes from giving, but we have to receive first before we can give. So God, in His infinite wisdom created you, unique and unrepeatable, to enjoy and participate in this wonderful ecstasy that can only be experienced by existing through him. And through him (and following his precepts) we find purpose, meaning, totality and peace. I have said it before, and I will say it again because I feel so strongly about this; God’s love is so great that it can not be contained - it needs an outlet. God’s heart is so overflowing with love, that he has to have vessels available to receive and pass on his love.

He has chosen you for that very purpose. You were created to be his divine vessel upon which he would fill to overflowing so that you, too, would pour yourself into the lives of others and experience the same wonder and joy that He does.

You are created - that’s a fact. Now you need to get passed the childish issue of asking why you were created and start acting like the prophets of old who said, “Here I am Lord, your servant is listening.”

God loves us, we are His children. He created us in his image. (Genesis 1:27). We were not intented to be evil and sinful. Through Adam’s sin, evil and death was bought into the world. But God didn’t give up. Throughout all of the Old Testament, He made several covenants with people (Noah, Abraham, David…etc) all leading up to the promise of a Messiah. God loved us so much that he sent Jesus to bring us into His perfect love (John 3:16). God could have let us be. But that’s why He lives in each of us, because He loves us. We are all a part of His creation, and we each do something that brings Him happiness.

My dear friend

This is my understanding at present. I’m not declaring dogma, just my thoughts and insights though.

God is the ultimate good thought. God is Love or i prefer to say Heart. I see God as pure white love filled with pure red heart. Heart symbolises all that is in God. This heart has everything good in it and the types of good go beyond the infinite because you can have infinite within infinite within infinite etc. And there are many other infinite concepts within this good within God, not just eternity, immortal, everything, all and so on. We only know very littkle about the types of good in God such as love, charity, humility, kindness, generosity etc etc. I think heart is the best symbol for God for us. I think it says it all for us. The pure spiritual light of God which is white mingled with Heart has all these types of good as symbols like crystals, jewels and all sorts of beautiful things. It’s all just imagery to explain a concept.

God is a Trinity but I think it’s more accurate to see God as 3 aspects who are also persons. I’ll explain. God who is the Ultimate good thought speaks His Word of Love and this Word expresses itself in creativity. Love must be creative. The question comes why God creates if He is perfectly happy anyway. My conclusion is that a part of God is something I’ve named the equilibrium. This is the friving force within God that forces Him to express His creative love in all sorts of creativity. God is constantly dreaming up worlds and beings. All in our world is like a beautiful daydream God is having. Gods creativity can and must be expressed in so many ways it’s not funny. I think God will continually learn new and more ways to express His creativity forever. Infinite can be more infinite and you can keep fitting more infinites, eternities, immortalities, everythings, all’s, moe’s, heart, love, types of good and countless infinite symbolic symbols like heart into the smallest point let alone everything. There is no end to what God an do. I know our world is a mess now but it’ll be fixed in the end. Basically God has endless beautiful loving good thoughts and and speaks these thoughts into existence.

God will not only create us and our world. who knows how many worlds and beings have / will be created.

It’s the equilibrium that drives God to create.

This is the way I see it at present. God loves us so much and made us because He wanted children. we’re all Gods little babies. God wants to be a father and a mother and have babies too. God experiences this through us. This is why God is so active in our lives. He wants to experience all we do. as to our mess God does not want to experience this but He is forced to. God will make all well in the end though. God can do almost anything and it’s in keeping with the faith. we should not presume hell cannot end even. an eternity in hell can finish and a new eternity or something begin. God is infinitely more intelligent than us. We should not presume to know all based on the little knowledge we have.

But with the creative side it’s the equilibrium. I wonder what we’ll find when this world ends ???
