Bible Question:
God- by Langston Hughes I am God- "Without one friend, Alone in my purity World without end. Below me young lovers Tread the sweet ground- But I am God- I cannot come down. Spring! Life is love! Love is life only! Better to be human Than God-and lonely." By the end of the Old Testament, God is far removed from the human scene. Can we prove that the charactetization of God in the poem is true? or no? |
Bible Answer: Is God lonely? Why did God create man? Is it because He is lonely? 'God did not lack anything in Himself that prompted His creative act. He wasn't lonely or bored. To say such a thing about Him would be to imply He is not eternally self-sufficient and perfect.' (www.carm.org/questions/whydidGodcreateus.htm) 'Ancient thought often held that the gods made man because they were in need of servants. Much modern thought argues that God made man because He was lonely or did not have anyone around to love or appreciate Him. However, the God of the Bible is in no way dependent upon mankind even for love or worship. That He reveals Himself at all is for our benefit, not His.' (www.probe.org/docs/evidence1.html) |
