Bible Question:
My questions about the bible are sicere, and they deal with the God as revealed to us by the bible and the Catholic roman church. I just want you to know that I am christian, and recent events in my life have caused me to ask me this questions. First of all.., I am troubled by the notion that God needs to be worshiped. How can a God that created everything, that IS everyhing, the begining and the end, the alfa and the omega. If there isent a single thing that is not God, how such a God would need to be worshiped, and its laws obeyed or it will give you a punishment that is worst that everything we can imagine. I mean, how can it affect a perfect God, a God that is everything, what we do or stop doing?. Why would he give us such a punishemnt(Hell) for things that can not affect him. I mean, does the punishment help right the wrong? no. Does it acomplish something other than teach you were wrong in life? No. I think only a cruel God would do such a thing. Also, why does he need to worshiped?. We have nothing that God needs because he dosent need everything, or he would not be perfect and allmighty. Our worships therefore cannot give him anything. I might even say that if God is omnipotent and if there is nothing that God does not have, whatever our actions, our "blasfemys" can do nothing to God, therefore you can not insult God, and some of our notions need to be revised. I would apreciate your opinions on this. When you answer this question, please dont go complex if posible, try to remain simple and please understand that I am looking for answers, not critisism. Sorry about spelling errors, as english is not my first language. |
Bible Answer: Greetings Need of Insight, Why do we need to worship God? God does not need our worship at all. In fact, does not need us at all, either. But God commands all of His creation to worship Him and Him alone! (Exodus 20:3-5; Psalm 95:6; Revelation 15:4) It is not so much that God is 'affected' one way or another by what we do here on earth, but it is that God wants to have a personal, loving relationship with every single one of those in which he has skillfully made (Psalm 139:15). God loves us (Galatians 2:20; John 3:16) so much so that He was willing to give up His Son to die for us, so that the entire world might be reconciled to Him in love and faith (John 3:17). This is why we must worship God: so that we might have a relationship with Him who created us (Jer. 1:5). He created us for a purpose (Jer. 29:11), and that purpose is "so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus" (Ephesians 2:7). Blessings to you, Makarios |
