Does God control only our Earth or is Earth just one of many of his properties?

I don't see any reason why God couldn't have created a whole bunch of other worlds and put beings of some sort on them. Just because it isn't in the Bible doesn't mean anything. I mean, why should some other world we may never even encounter affect the way we're supposed to do things? If they exist, they've presumably got their own version of the Bible and other holy books.

Actually if I were God, which I would never ever desire to be, and the people on earth were like this, like they are now, I would destroy earth and not regret it. Good thing God is love and mercy and grace and compassionet. But the day will soon come where the earth will be destroyed anyway. God has more patience than I do.

A very astute observation.\n\nScripture assures as that God can know all things, but being all powerful certainly he has the ability to refrain from knowing certain things if he so chooses.\n\nThus, at Genesis 11:5-8 God is described as directing his attention earthward, surveying the situation at Babel, and, at that time, determining the action to be taken to break up the unrighteous project there. After wickedness developed at Sodom and Gomorrah, Jehovah advised Abraham of his decision to investigate (by means of his angels) to “see whether they act altogether according to the outcry over it that has come to me, and, if not, I can get to know it.” (Genesis 18:20-22; 19:1) God spoke of ‘becoming acquainted with Abraham,’ and after Abraham went to the point of attempting to sacrifice Isaac, Jehovah said, “For now I do know that you are God-fearing in that you have not withheld your son, your only one, from me.”—Genesis 18:19; 22:11, 12; compare Nehemiah 9:7, 8; Galatians 4:9.\n\nSelective foreknowledge means that God could choose not to foreknow indiscriminately all the future acts of his creatures. This would mean that, rather than all history from creation onward being a mere rerun of what had already been foreseen and foreordained, God could with all sincerity set before the first human pair the prospect of everlasting life in an earth free from wickedness. His instructions to his first human son and daughter to act as his perfect and sinless agents in filling the earth with their offspring and making it a paradise, as well as exercising control over the animal creation, could thus be expressed as the grant of a truly loving privilege and as his genuine desire toward them—not merely as the giving of a commission that, on their part, was foredoomed to failure. God’s arranging for a test by means of “the tree of the knowledge of good and bad” and his creation of “the tree of life” in the garden of Eden also would not be meaningless or cynical acts, made so by his foreknowing that the human pair would sin and never be able to eat of “the tree of life.”—Genesis 1:28; 2:7-9, 15-17; 3:22-24.

Psalms 115:16 As regards the heavens, to Jehovah the heavens belong,\nBut the earth he has given to the sons of men.\n\nHeaven is for Jehovah God, Jesus, and his angels!\nEarth is however for man!\n\n(Psalm 37:29) The righteous themselves will possess the earth, And they will reside forever upon it.\n\n(Isaiah 45:18) For this is what Jehovah has said, the Creator of the heavens, He the [true] God, the Former of the earth and the Maker of it, He the One who firmly established it, who did not create it simply for nothing, who formed it even to be inhabited: “I am Jehovah, and there is no one else.

we are here for a purpose, each of our purposes are different but are linked...God created the earth and everything in it...God(the higher power u stated)seeks our hearts, but many times we are too busy, we just ignore him, or we don't want to listen...and that's not my personal opinion...below are some verses to back up wat i said...

It was God who created the earth. The first couple chapters of Genesis explain that. It took 6 days and on the 7th day he rested.

NO HEART IS ONLY CONTROLLED BY GOD THE ALMIGHTY

God is operating irrespective of our faith in Him and in His existence. Hence, faith in him or his existence is not material to Him. But 'is it material to us?',  is perhaps your question.\n\nYes.  He is the only necessity which justifies all other necessities.

I like your logic, and I agree.  I believe all gods are one God, just different names/aspects.  The supreme ruler is an IMMENSE being, and mere humans with our human brains cannot possibly interpret the whole thing as it is.  So we look at aspects of the supreme being.  I see one part, and you see another part.  But we're seeing the same Being.

OK, I'll bite...\n\nPsalm 37:10,11, 29 - "And just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more; And you will certainly give attention to his place, and he will not be. But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth, And they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace... The righteous themselves will possess the earth, And they will reside forever upon it."\nMatthew 5:5 - "Happy are the mild-tempered ones, since they will inherit the earth."\nIsaiah 9:6,7 - "There has been a child born to us, there has been a son given to us; and the princely rule will come to be upon his shoulder. And his name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. To the abundance of the princely rule and to peace there will be no end... in order to establish it firmly and to sustain it by means of justice and by means of righteousness, from now on and to time indefinite."

No, we also know that when you say that god is only a word, some people get really mad at you. Apparently for them god is something else.\n\nNow, more seriously, god is more than a word. It's a representation of an idea that is important for some people, but that has been used and ABused by different powers to manipulate and control humanity, by the fear of the unknown and the panic of "eternal damnation", a very powerful invention they've come up with.\n\nSo, god represents a lot to different people, but it's a relevant social concept for all of us, too. Even though we assign it very different importance, according to our life experiences.

God doesn't hold them together. It's part of nature and science, just like air and gravity. I suppose you believe that god is holding you on the earth, eh?

I hate to tell you this, but, Earth is worshipped in quite a few religions. I.E., Paganism.

Yeah we should. People are so misinformed. The actual first commanment from God is to take care of the earth & animals. Not to go forth & multiply. It always amazes me how people take what they want out of the Bible & say it's all there is.

why would god have rules on himself?\n\nGod does as He wishes and no one can put restrictions on His power...at least that is what i believe... i mean, if you believe in God, who else is greater than Himself? no one, so only He controls what he does...therefore He doesn't need rules to control that which cannot be controlled in anyway

i know that there is only one God because i have seen Him work in my life in ways that no one or nothing else could possibly do. God is amazing and you just have faith that he is real, he can change your life. do you believe in creation? if so then you must realize how amazing God really is to create such a complex world! He can do anything! i know that God is real because i see it when i look around me.
