So we dont know Gods true plan yet we are just supposed to believe he has the best intentions for us in our next life? The same god that allows suffering now PROMISES you he wont allow it next time. all you have to do is worship him! He promises!
1) God cannot lie, and 2) Do we have any other choice? Rejection of God's promises is how we fell in to sin in the first place.

quote:

How do you know that? because so far its worship me or else.
God is the highest good there is and the very definition of perfection. Why would we not worship God? He created us to worship Him; that's our very purpose. An object we create for a purpose that doesn't fulfill that purpose is usually discarded as being trash. Why can't God destroy those who don't do what we were created to do?

quote:

oh well there you go. His glory... why does he need such great glory? Why does he need us to glorify him? can hhe not glorify himself enough?
He doesn't need anything, even our glory. He created us to worship and glorify Him because He wanted to, not because He had to. And He should be glorified because there is no one and nothing higher than Himself.

quote:

So he is picking winners and losers and the losers cant complain or question his authority?
again sounds like a game i dont want to play.
Everyone is a loser by default. He makes losers into winners by His sovereign choice in election. He doesn't have to as He owes no one anything, yet He chooses to save some out of mercy.

according to who? The bible? the book written by man?

quote:

An object we create for a purpose that doesn't fulfill that purpose is usually discarded as being trash. Why can't God destroy those who don't do what we were created to do?

so we are his toys? he didnt need us but he created us anyway, put us on a path through suffering and if we lose faith that he is real we suffer for eternity?

quote:

He doesn't have to as He owes no one anything,

my point exactly. why are we choosing to believe his words when he chooses us to die or suffer so nonchalantly. we are his pawns according to the book. doesnt seem like he created us out of need therefore he doesnt need us to exist but he created us anyway. Why? to show what he can do? or to make us suffer with a promise of no suffering if we follow him only?

How do you justify that people several thousand years ago got it right? That what they wrote down is the absolute truth with no wiggle room?
