QUOTE(RAWRstephishere @ Nov 2 2007, 06:38 PM)  Prove there is a God. I'm creating this thread to see if I myself can try to answer questions that question or even contradict myself and the religion that I believe in. Here's how it goes, all of you ask me questions about Christianity, and I'll try my best to answer them with the little theological knowledge that I know. |

Gods motive for creating us was His motive of love
Eph1:4 Long before he laid down the earths foundations , He had us in mind, had settled on us as the focus of His love. He made the Earth FOR us. The bible tells us "God is Love" . It doesn't say God has love, it says God IS love and we are created for that purpose. [edit] As for the above quotes, we were made in Gods own image, we are representatives of him on earth and we are told to "rule" over the world. I hope this is make sense. |
