You create your circle of friends, God created us in his image what we choose to do with people that come into our lives is our personal choice.  Only you can decide who to and who not to consider a friend.

Because we are who we are.

What about purpose, is not my being enough or does the "self"   need more to justify its own existence and identity.  Until we trully know who we are we will suffer such questions posed.

We are made in the image of God in the sense that we have Reason and an immortal soul.  This does not mean that everyone uses their reason.

Um... were you "created"?

Well. I suppose it is so because it is the sole purpose why we have been created by nature & by the same process too! Failing to procreate would be failing to fulfill our role.

because of original sin we were in a state of open rebellion to God and His holy will, and so we were marked from birth with this sin of pride and rebellion.\nbut by our baptism we are cleansed of this original sin and even it`s stain and we are united in holy friendship with God and become members of the Body of Christ, and even more we also become potential heirs to the kingdom of God.

We were all born with the stain of original sin but we are not born evil.  We reach the age of reason and we have the capacity to choose for ourselves to do good or evil because God did give us a conscience, some have just tuned it out.

We are eternal spirit souls RIDING in the temporary VEHICLE of a human animal-mammal-primate-vertebrate-chordate-hominid Homo sapiens. Genetically inherited animal vehicles are born, eat, mate-breed, defend, sleep, get ill, cheat, steal, die. Genetically inherited ego structures-intellect-minds and personalities assist the body in these things so the karmic wheel of this huge cosmic computer-machine can keep on turning.  We are different from-superior to animals in one KEY AREA.  As humans we have the ability to ask the correct-wise-higher questions of WHO AM I REALLY AND WHY AM I HERE REALLY. Animals can't-don't do that! Answer to these questions are to know, love, serve, remember and glorify the Creator, and to know the difference between the three items listed below, not just say you believe and go to church for hour on sunday and be kinda "good" when you feel like it. It takes effort, grace, willpower and mercy!\n\nDo you know the difference between:\n\nillusion and Truth\ntemporary and Eternal\nmatter and Spirit\n\nOnce we KNOW who we REALLY are, why we are REALLY here (Bhakti Prema) then we can go back to the Eternal Home where we can serve the Creator. Until then, we are just here playing with matter, trying to be controllers and enjoyers of matter and the material world and play the role of "little pseudo-gods" instead of doing what He wants. Once we want to play with Spirit more than matter then we have BEGUN the REAL PURPOSE of human life, to NOT BE ANIMALS-INHUMANE.....but to become Self and God Realized (not ego realized!) and go back Home. Thus, most humans are behaving like animals.  \n\nEstimates are that about\n\n5-6% of humans are infant souls\n20 % baby souls\n30% young souls%\n33% mature souls\n10% old souls \n\nTypically it is not until souls are "later old souls," probably the last 2%,that humans start to REMEMBER the real purpose of life and are INTERESTED-COMMITTED in its deep pursuit. Christ came to help humans open their hearts and become at least "mature human" if they can do what He teaches instead of living the Old Testament animal way of "eye for an eye." Compassion is one of His many major teachings. If humans are incapable of love-compassion on any level, then they are animal Homo sapiens.  Some dogs are more compassionate, kind, caring, serving, devoted than some humans.\n\nbody\nmind\nintellect\nintelligence\nego\nSpirit\n\nThis is the "order of hierarchy-lowest to highest" of our utilizable components while here.  Once Spirit runs the show we are spiritual beings riding within a human experience.  But if body-mind-intellect-ego are "trying to run the show," then we are just animals, fancy and intellectually sharp sometimes, but not truly human-humane.\n\nStages of development of love (in order) include:\n\nnurturance\nbonding\nalliance\nreciprocity\nunderstanding-comprehension\nappreciation-gratitude\naltruism-selfless service\nagape-unconditional love\n\nIf we aren't doing these,then we must be going down the rung to lower animal behavior, aka "hell on earth".\n\nIf you can be tolerant and "agree to disagree" then you can be a "civilized human", but if not, the following DOWNHILL ANIMAL CANCER spreads:\n\ndisagree\naggravation-grudge-repressed anger-frustration\ncivil disputes\nfeuds-gang-regional warfare\ncriminal disputes\nwar (>1000 die over a specific issue)\nannihiliation\n\nbut the highest level of spiritual love (the only true-deepest love) is Prema!\n\nHave a great day-life!

God is a loving Father in heaven and He loves us.  We were created in his image and our purpose in life is to strive to be like him.

we each have our own purposes for being on earth.  for instance if you were to kill your self and please dont,  but hypothetically it will throw of the balance that god intented.  that is why you go staight to hell without passing go and without collecting 2 hundred dollars.  your purpose for being here could just to be a parent or influence someone to create the cure for cancer or to help lead some people to god.  if you arent there for that what would happen would change.  think about scrooge he saw what his life could have been,  who he effected i belive we all have our purpose,  and we propably wont figure it out until we are gone. ps. geznaks purpose of being here is to be a nusence

Why was I born or what purpose is there for me in life?

We are the accidental products of unthinking natural processes, and therefore the meaning and purpose of life can be anything we choose.  For myself, I didn't choose to exist, but now I'm here I want to enjoy life, bring up my kids well, leave the world a slightly better place than when I joined it, and die having no major regrets about what I have or haven't done in my life.

from dust to dust... God create as from dust to remind us without HIM, we are nothing... All perfect things come from GOD... from meaningless to a glorify creature, because people are created in HIS Image... without HIS image then we're nothing.. He's planning not by coincidence... I put some verse, hopefully help us...\n\nThe LORD God took a handful of SOIL and made a MAN. God breathed LIFE into the man, and the man started BREATHING \n(Gen 2:7)\n\nGod said, "Now we will make humans, and they will be like us. We will let them rule the fish, the birds, and all other living creatures." So God created humans to be like himself; he made men and women. \n(Gen 1:26-27)\n\n\nGbu
