If god is all-powerful, what does it need us for?

Logically speaking there could be many reasons for this. If God exist the most probable answer to this question would be entertainment. I have seen no active involvement from this being in our lives, which is one of the reasons that I am Agnostic, one of the most rational answer would be that we are nothing more than entertainment.

you could use it in a way to show that God is all-knowing. He knows the truth and only hears the truth no matter if we try to cover it or lie.

Well, the FIRST Son took care of all the major problems that were alienating us from God, namely sin and death. He's already reconciled humanity back to God. What's left for YOU to do?

Everyone needs God. But God gave us a choice on who to serve. Him or Satan. People say God gives us free will, but not so. The inly will God gives us is His holy word. The Bible. That is the will for us. the devil doesn't have a will. Therefore whoever follows him will be doomed for eternal damnation. That's why it is important to hold to God and serve him. He is the only one who sticks closer than a friend, brother, mother, father, cousin, aunt, teacher or anybody else. He's there in the good times and the bad times. He'll never leave you or forsake you. God can\ndo more than what other man made gods can't do.

The reason the world is round is pretty a more than imaginary question and you could keep asking that question forever and ever without getting the right answer.God is the supreme being, the most powerful and he just created the world the way he liked.If it were you that had so much power,won't you do anything you want with anything you desire?\nLike I said there would be lots of answers to this question scientifically,geographically and mentally but the main point is that God is the all powerful.

No offense taken.  I believe in God because of what He has already done.  He gave His son for us, would he not freely give us all things?  (Romans 8:32)  That does not mean that we will be rich if we ask Him for it, because that may not be good for our spiritual growth.  However it does mean that He has everything we need and He wants to provide for us.  Just like I would do for my sons.

Philosophers of religion generally agree that the concept of omnipotence does not require logically impossible or self-contradictory abilities. Thus it would be absurd to think that an omnipotent being could create a square circle for example. Hence, if one believes that god is omnipotent it is not necessary to believe that she could therefore create a stone so heavy that even he could not lift it, because the latter idea is self-contradictory. \n\nA trickier question is this: if god is both omnipotent and all-good, why does it permit evil and injustice to occur?

The curious as well as the critics of Christianity ask this question. If God is all-powerful and all loving, then why does He permit evil and suffering in the world? Various answers have been given but permanently settling the issue is impossible because so many of our answers raise further questions. Nevertheless, our lack of ability to answer the question perfectly does not mean that we cannot offer solutions. Of course, I do not assume to be able to answer these questions definitively, but I can offer some solutions.\n     First of all, it is possible that God has reasons for allowing evil to exist that we simply cannot understand. In this the Christian can have confidence in God knowing that His ways are above our ways (Isaiah 55:8-9). As the Bible says, the just shall live by faith (Hab. 2:4).\n     Second, God may be letting evil run its course in order to prove that evil is evil and that suffering, which is the unfortunate product of evil, is further proof that anything contrary to God’s will is bad, harmful, painful, and leads to death. \n     God gave Adam dominion over the world (Gen. 1:28). When he rebelled against God, he set in motion an entire series of events and changed the very nature of man and creation. Both were affected by sin. Creation was no longer a paradise, but bore thorns and thistles (Gen. 3:17-18; Rom. 8:22). People became sinful (Rom. 5:12; Eph. 2:3), who were haters of God (Rom. 3:19-12), etc. The only conclusion to such a situation is death. Jesus said, "And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened" (Matt. 24:22). \n     Sin is rebellion against God and His created order. But God has not left us alone in this fallen world. He continued to enter this world, pointing us to Himself, to truth, to morality, purity, and love. He used the evil of the world (liars, perjurers, the envious, etc), to bring His Son to the cross so that we might have the opportunity of eternal life. In this, God has not stepped away from fallen creation, but has stepped into it by becoming Jesus. God works within the fallen world to affect change and He uses fallen people to accomplish His will. In this, He is proving His sovereignty over evil, suffering, and rebellious people, proving that sin and evil are utterly futile, and that He is worthy of honor and glory.\n     A third possible reason that God is letting evil occur is so that on the day of judgment, the condemned will have no right to say that their sentence is unjust. God is not stopping people from exercising their free will. Think about this: If someone said that God should stop evil and suffering, then should God then stop all evil and suffering? If God only stopped some of it, then we would still be asking the same question of why it exists. So, if we want God to stop evil and suffering, then He must stop all of it. We have no problem with this when it means stopping a catastrophe, or a murder, or a rape. But what about when someone thinks of something evil? Evil is evil whether it is acted out or not. Hatred and bigotry in someone’s heart is wrong. If it is wrong, and if God is to stop all evil, then He must stop that person from thinking his own thoughts. To do that, God must remove his freedom of thought. Furthermore, which person on the earth has not thought something evil? God would be required, then, to stop all people from exercising their free will. This is something God has chosen not to do. Therefore, we could say that one of the reasons that God permits evil and suffering is because of man’s free will.\n     Fourth, it is quite possible that God uses the suffering to do good. In other words, He produces patience through tribulation (Rom. 5:3). Or He may desire to save someone through it. Take for example, the account of Joseph who was sold into slavery by His brothers. What they did was wrong and Joseph suffered greatly for it. But, later, God raise

God is more important because without him I can do nothing.  So in order to think or feel anything about anyone I first have to wake up each morning and without God I can't do it.  God is my everything!  He'll be with me when no one else can.

God only put us here to be toys of amusement for him. He enjoys watching people suffer. Just think about it for a minute...supposedly he is all-powerful, all-knowing, all-...whatever. Yet he allows this world to be infested with disease, famine, war, death, and horrors beyond imagination. Now, how can you call a god who does all these things loving and expect him to do anything for you. People who always turn to god to help them in their struggles are just trying to find someone else to fix their mistakes. They can't handle the fact that their god probably doesn't like them. God allows all these atrocities on earth to occur and doesn't lift a finger. The question you should really be asking is "Why do I worship a god that does not care?" God did not give us free will. And as far as free will in the respect to god goes, if it had not been for Satan, we would all be wandering around in complete servitude without even realizing we were slaves. By tempting Eve to eat that apple, if you believe the story, he gave us the ability to realize our slavery. Furthermore, anyone who says that we have free will given by god should examine their religion further. How can it be free will when he says that to disobey him will result in a tormenting eternity of fire and brimstone? Are these really choices...slavery or fire? I will thank God for nothing. My thanks go to the god of the underworld for giving me the knowledge to know these lies as they are.

God, if one is in right standing with Him, provides for us in the best way for us.  He answers prayers, but He does not do so necessarily the way we would like Him to.\n\nAs far as our wants, God knows our needs and that sometimes our wants interfere with our needs.  \n\nThe key is to get in right standing with God and then trust Him to know and provide what is necessary for you to prosper spiritually in your life.

God may want something although logically wants exist only when one is himself not able to obtain it immediately based on his existing means which of course rules out God wanting anything. The bigger question is why we assume to know what God wants and then try to force others into following that. Our behavior is based on the laws of nature like survival, compassion , cooperation (which again are need for survival) and since they help us exist we assume this is what God wants. Actually this is what we want and correctly want. Hence those who don't follow these ideals are the misfits and threat to human society like murderers, arsonists etc. So its biology , evolution and our interpretation of these. And this capability to interpret is perhaps what God wanted and he got it done (although not quite efficiently it seems from humanity's destructive tendencies).

It is the responsibility of everyone who is a believer to pray for those who govern over us. Th bible states that there is no authority in existence that is not placed there by God. There are multiple insights in how God works through government in the first and second book of Kings. It is important to have our trust in God since the outcome of our prayers "let it be thy will" will result in just that. The right decisions are not always aligned with our expectations and this is where we must increase in faith, by knowing that God is in Control and utilizes even evil acts by humans towards the good of those who trust in him.

If we could be good on our own power, we would be God.\n\nGod didn't make us just so that we would be weak. That is, this was not his aim. But what he created was people, not God. Why didn't he create God? Because there is only one God who exists outside of space and time--who always was, is, and will be--who IS, not who was created. Therefore, God cannot create God. What he made was a creature in his image, but who could not be him.\n\nGod takes no pleasure in our weakness. He has compassion for us because we are weak. This is why he sent our Son--that through Him, we might become perfect, not on our own power, but by the power of God.\n\nIn addition, God created within us the need for Himself. So that upon our constant failures, we would begin searching for the One who never fails.

Good question and WOW lots of answers.\nAre ANY of them right?\nWhy is it all about religion - how about what you wanted - the POWER within the prayer?\n\nSo will the power of a faith help.\nYES - and NO.\n\nYes - when there is a chance that we can look within ourself and put all the worries into the creator's (or whatever) hand(s) - we undergo an emotional (and physical) change. We are able to heal and do remarkable things.\n\nNo - when we forgo common sence and put our entire belief that if the creator (or whomever) wants us cured then we will be cured.\n(The creator - or whomever - has and wants us cured - they are called Doctors and it is called medicine).\n\nWe all have our own paradyms of what is true religion and what is true faith.\n\nPrayer is a PERSONAL relationship with that source (GOD or otherwise).\nSo - the power flows from you to (whatever it is)\nSo - YES there is power in prayer (both good and bad)
