I don't understand how as a "Christian" you cannot find fulfillment in learning , growing and applying the teachings of Christ. For starters since you seem to  have enough time to get bored I'm sure you can find the time to spread and maintain His Kingdom. Serving others may yield the blessings you may be expecting. Sorry for the preachiness.

I asked too, and was told he has always been present, which scares me and answer a lot of questions.  I guess he was around forever.  He was the one who created everything like, dinosaurs, etc. So I guess he got better along the way and created man and we have been here every since.  WOW!  I never thought of it that way.  Still confused, I am on a mission know.  To be honest I don't think we are going to get a straight answer because that will prove the true existence and challenge everything that we believe.  Imagine what would become of the world if we found out this was all a farce to keep most of us straight.  It is because of religion that we are doing okay today, of course man has rules. laws, and regulations for the ones who are non-believer's and the slackers. That would open up another Pandora's Box.  WOW!

So that we know about Gods existence and the beautiful things that He has made.\nWhat would God do in a lonely world.. so He simply blew life in it.

MEIGHAN2006,\n\nIt is interesting that God created the whole universe and all the animals and plants, etc. by just speaking a word. When He made man, He got down in the dirt and planted a garden and then formed Adam from the dirt and breathed life – the eternal part – into him. Then He made Eve from one of Adam’s ribs.\n\nIt is amazing that God was able to make man and woman with a word, yet He showed love from the very beginning as He served His creation by planting a garden and then fashioning them similar to Himself. He has a heart to love and to serve and His rules for us are the same as the way He lives. He wants us to love and serve each other.\n\nIt is also interesting that He made water originate in the garden. The water didn’t flow through the garden, but came up from the ground in the garden and then formed 4 rivers leaving the garden. The garden was probably similar to heaven where there is water that flows from under His throne.\n\nIn my humble opinion, the living water in us is figurative of this water that flows from God’s throne. When we put ourselves on the throne, the flow is restricted or the water becomes stagnant. When God is enthroned in our hearts – when Jesus is our Lord, the living water flows freely. That is the abundant life.\n\nGod bless.

he created us. He did not have us as reproducing with someone else :) else that would mean he had a partner. Your question is very good. I asked myself that back in 1996~ when I was thinking of switching :)

I am sure that God created the universe in only 6 "days". The question is, how long were these days? One day at that point in time could actually have spanned millions of our years. This would explain dinosaurs and evolution and a few other questions. I don't think Lucifer was banned to Hell until after Humans were made and I think he was a human who died and went to Heaven and then was bannished to Hell. He could of even walked with some of your ancestors. (Creepy, huh!)

O.K. admiralbob! I'm glad your not in charge of everything. Everyone wants to prove how things work, but they can't answer the question as to who made it all happen.....Anyway I've got broadband but the download is taking a minute so based off of others speculation and the website that I observed, I would say SURE THING. God is intelligent so why wouldn't he use science he created it? But yeah! They should use it to teach if they have found that proof! It would really back up the bible too.

Good questions!  I like good subjest matter.  God is not some bug eyed monster up in the sky.  Why would he be all hateful when he needs us as much as we need him?  We do have free will, and i can do whatever i want because of it, but heres the rub, i was created by something with a view of the bigger picture.  So by virture of where i was born and my personality there are huge sections of human reality that will never even occur to me to do because of who and what i was made to be. Example : kiss my boyfriend, you betcha!; eat chocolate covered ants, hell no!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>\n\nIts like you are asking who came before "FIRST" in race.\n\nI ask you , Who created "the one" who created God? and then so on ....There has to be some stop. Lets assume that this series is everlasting infinity.  In this case, we wouldn't be here. But we are here, that means there is a stop with a being who is UNCREATED. It is difficult for us to imagine something with no end and no beginning. but it is impossible for us to imagine our Creator had a beginning. \n\nYour question is like, my brother gave birth to a child, is it male or female? Its the Characteristic of male that he does not give birth. If he gives birth then he is not male. God is Eternal, because its characteristic of God that HE IS ETERNAL. If He is not eternal, that means He is not God. \n\nGod has to be Eternal then otherwise He would have a beginning. Suppose, we say God had a beginning, then there was a time when God did not exist. It means that he needed somebody else to make him exist. So there is somebody else who is God, not him. but as we agreed that there is only one God, therefore, there is no one else who make Him exist.\n\nWhen we say that God cannot be born, we are also saying that a creator cannot becomes his creation, because creation means what is in need of a creator. To be a creature of God, mean there had to be someone to create you. So if God becomes his creation, it means now he is in need of a creator. And this is absudity! As we know, A creation is not eternal. An eternal being is uncreated. We can conclude that the one God who is uncreated, has to be Eternal.\n\n\nIt follows by logical necessity that if God is one, and if He is eternal, Then obviously He does not beget , Nor is he begotten. Because if He beget, then He will have a child and the child will have to be God-like. So there will then be two Gods. Since we agreed that there is only one God, you cannot have two. OR If he was begotten, that means he would have father. Then the father will be older than him and more eternal than him. and we cannot have one who is more eternal than "ETERNAL"\n\n==============================...\n\n\n"Say: He is Allah, The One and Only. "Allah, the Eternal, Absolute.\n"He begets not, nor is He begotten. And there is none like unto Him." \n[Quran 112:1-4]\n\n==============================...\n\nTHERE IS ONE CREATOR, AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS HIS CREATION. THATS IT. !!!

a straight answer? God wasn't created. He has just always been (existed). He is the author of all life, so He can't be created by anthing else.

Simply put, I don't think he did.  I think that man created all of the fire and brimstone, believe in me for your own good or I'll kill you stuff.  Only a complete ego centric would create us just so we can worship and glorify him.  That's not my idea of a higher power.

If God were not patient, he would not be currently putting up with you and me.\n\nBy the way, since you are priding yourself on taking a bible verse out of context, why don't you interpret this one for me?\n\n"...if..." -The Holy Bible\n\nDo you get it?

good question, since God created this universe that tells us that he's beyond our own mind and way of thinking. and yes God did create us.

What you seem to have missed is the greater point - you're not your own to begin with - He created you, all he asks now is that you recognize that by accepting him and worshipping him - it is not his desire that any should perish - but being good is not what he designed us to do - he designed us to worship - good deeds are results of our worship - not our means of worship.  You are in the midst of spiritual battle and I'm praying that God will give you spiritual rest and a mentor to lead you personally as opposed to this forum. As a parent I raised my son with certain values.  I have entrusted them to him.  It is now up to him to choose to use them.  If he doesn't then there are consequences he will suffer.  Does that take away his ability to choose for himself?  No.  It just means he didn't heed a more learned and wiser, experienced person.  It is a poor analogy, but it was the best I could come up with.
