I've often wondered why a God would require so much from his "creation". Adoration, praise, worship, devoutness, animal sacrifice, blood, the torturing and brutal disfigurement of a human being who had to hang on a cross, AND if you don't give "him" these things or exercise your free right and choose not to have a relationship with him , you go to a place where you will be tormented and literally burn in hell ALIVE for an eternity. It's a very strange concept, this God!
How can anyone not want to worship a God who gave us his own Son that we might be a citizen in Heaven in the new city of gold where there is no pain, no sickness, no tears, etc.?
I had this question all my life, when I wanted to return to HIM, this question made me hesitate again, but your answer was perfect. I know now. Thank you. God bless you.
Ok but why DEMAND worship? I can understand why a good and powerful God would WANT us to worship him, or even strongly encourage it if that’s really what we’re made to do, but why actively punish anyone who doesn’t do that for an eternity? And why create beings just to worship him in the first place? Even if we were truly free to choose to worship God or not, why did he even consider it necessary to create more beings aside from the angels he already has to worship him?
i think he simply was just bored pretty selfish if thats the case i personaly have never fealt anything from this entity people call god i feal nothing but hate towards him if he really does exist just how careless could he be and to demand respect for doing a shitty job none of us asked to be here all results of selfish beings and yet everyday we suffer more and more pointlessly and still no sign of this imaginary god ive talked to him every day of my existence and i havent fealt a speck of love from the guy so if he exists im cussing him out at the gates idc for the repercussions i care about the truth
God is love ,he love us so much that he lay down his life so that we could have eternal life , when u love someone u want to alway be around them , forever, it is not really worship ,he want us to love him back the same way he love us, if u have a husband and he done something good and u keep telling him u love him how would he feel ,he will feel love ,God want to feel love too , he have pour it out to us and he want us to pour it out to him too.,
Worship explained is inspiring. The left with the question, when I'm not involved in worship, what am I thinking about, and more salient, why? I pray I am reminded moment by moment of the gift of God Almighty. Amen.
The question being addressed here is, why does god demand worship. Not, is god deserving of it. Your answer to the question being addressed is really only on minute 2:37. Your answer was "Because he (god) knows that if we're not worshipping, we're not really seeing him." You're suggesting that the path to "really see him" is only through worship, and that is why he demands it. Do I need to "really see god" in order to be saved? Can someone be able to "really see god" and still disagree with him. Is "really seeing him" equivalent to agreeing with him in this context? Is agreeing with god the only way to see him? If not then why demand worship in the first place instead of simply accepting it coming from our free will? If I have the power to end humanity, and demand worship in order for it to be saved, why am I not considered a tyrant? Worship: The feeling or expression of reverence and adoration for a deity. Many people dont cry when they meet their child. Many people go to the grand canyon and experience nothing.
ok, so I can see how we could be thankful to a God. I guess my question would be, why should we listen, change our lives, condemn others, do things for a God. or be killed. tho I guess for me it's kinda weird to show gratitude to a God, who has said he will kill me if I don't show gratitude and do what he says. so then this explanation falls thru for me :/
That’s an easy question. People worship because they want to be obedient. To be obedient is to not stray apart from the father even when you disagree with the father. Because in heaven I don’t think everyone agrees with everyone else. But it’s good to agree with the most powerful being. Think about it. If he can make ppl or angels go to hell with disobedience, then why would you not worship now and practice it here so you don’t have to be thrown in hell in the afterlife. Besides people think it’s grace through faith of god.
yea id rather not worship someone whod send me to hell for not bending over backwards the guy has done nothing for us but put us in hell already this earth is hell and the devil walks it where is this god everyone talks about i do not fear him for why should i why submit to such a selfish being
We have been taught by religious authorities that since we have been created by God we must worship and please God by keeping His Laws. But this is not the TRUTH. Worshipping God is a pagan ritual. When people worship God they set God apart and above them - unreachable and to be feared - for who knows what "evil" God might send on earth if people did not act according to his will. But that was not the message Jesus brought to earth. Jesus spoke of the Father which supplied all needs, which answered when called, which healed when requested to do so, which was both transcendent to us and also within us, meaning that the Creator is universal. CHRIST'S LETTERS from JESUS CHRIST
god is the devil why else would there be so much pain and suffering the one thing i want the most in life is death but its taking too long to get there who would actually want to live in this world you say the father will give those things ive never fealt a drop of love from the guy all i know he really could be the devil playing us for fools just to be entertained the thought of that really makes me mad

@@spritesikle8988 God said: "But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die." Therefore I say unto you: because, daily, we live in fear of "good and evil" and believe and expect these more than we believe that God is abundant LIFE and UNCONDITIONAL LOVE within us, supplying us with all things necessary for health and well-being, it is our most feared "good and evil" experiences we attract into our lives and bodies. Our beliefs in "good and evil" obscure - CLOUD OVER - all that God has in store for us if only we will believe in UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! We judge our todays and expect of our tomorrows what we have experienced in the past. Therefore, are the ills of our yesterdays continually repeated in the future. We are enslaved by our memories and our undeviating beliefs that what was past must return again and again to burden and wound us. We do not need to heal our bodies or try to make our lives better, we need to heal our beliefs! Jesus have told us there is nothing solid under the sun. If we could heal our beliefs, bring our beliefs into line with the true Intention of God for us, the wrong beliefs governing our bodies and lives, would dissolve like mist in the sun. Our every circumstance would immediately come back to the Divine Intention behind all creation. We would find that for every difficulty, for every lack of every kind, there is always a means to end the difficulty, there is always a filling of our basket to meet our needs. What do you think happened when the sick came to Jesus and he layed his hands upon them? Was Jesus thinking about the illness? Was Jesus wondering if the person will be healed? Was Jesus afraid God may be sleeping or is so far away he cannot be heard? No! If these were the disbelieving thoughts of Jesus, there would be no healing. When a person approached Jesus for healing, he immediately rejoice because he knew that the Power which is God within him, is ready and waiting to heal the moment he asked. Jesus gave thanks because he knew that the Will of God is health, not sickness. Therefore, Jesus prayed that the Will of God be done in the sick person. As Jesus removed the beliefs in sickness from the body of the sick person and KNEW that the Will of God of health is flowing into his system, so does the appearance - the appearance - of sickness change into the reality of God Health and the body is made whole once more. Sickness is nothing more than a lowering of vitality - a reduction of LIFE - within the affected part. Restore God Life to the true Intention and Plan of our system and the entire system functions as it should. We have been told that God sends sicknesses, plagues, famines, destruction to nations when they do not keep his laws and that we ourselves are punished by the wrath of God for sins we have committed. What is punishment but evil-doing under the guise of goodness? Therefore I say unto you: evil does not come from God. How can God be of two parts - good and evil? It is only in our minds that we conceive good and evil, only in our hearts do we think and feel it. These thoughts and feelings have nothing to do with God who is within us, bringing us every good thing if we will but believe this is so. It is our beliefs in good and evil, and the good and evil in our hearts, which brings us sicknesses. In reality, we live within the Kingdom of Heaven, and the Kingdom of Heaven is within us, and we are governed by God, but because we believe in the punishments from God, or that a blood sacrifice saved us, or that we are heir to sicknesses, poverties and miseries, we create with our minds, the very things we do not want. Be not downcast - rejoice and be glad and know that those who experience lack, far from being "punished" and "abandoned" by God, even though they have "sinned," are truly blessed.
Jesus died on the cross for you right. But explain this to me please, you can only enter paradise if you believe in Jesus. But when you have a rapist for example who believes in Jesus, and raped and killed a girl who does not believe in Jesus. Does he go to heaven because Jesus died for his sin, and the girl goes to hell because she does not believe? This right here does not make sense. Also, Hitler believed in Jesus, did Jesus die for his sins too? Yeah I dont think so. Thats why Islam, which Prophet Jesus, Abraham, David, Noah, Adam Mozes and Mohammed may peace be upon them all came with, is the truth. I believe in all the Books they came with. It is from the same God, the God of Abraham. And Mohammed is the last of all Messengers. May peace be upon them all. No one dies or is responsible for another's sins. You are yourself responsible, and The Allmighty will take care of that on Judgmentday.
why should we be responsible we never asked to be here we were unwillingly placed in this hell and are demanded to follow the rules even though there has been no sign of god anywhere not that ive experienced i grow angrier and angrier at god as my problems seem to get worse not fixed i feel nothing from him though i dedicated everything in my life for his plan and still nothing comes from it so i started to believe he reall just doesnt care so why would i ever praize a selfish being like that because he died for my sins because he gave me life i never asked for any of these things and why are humans able to sin in the first place why didnt god prevent sin from ever happening aperently he know everything but he doent know that humans are gonna sin?
@@spritesikle8988 you never asked for your life? So what does Allah need to do? Ask you first? If so, does not He needs to create you first to ask you? I do understand where you are coming from, but you need to reflect on a couple of things. First: Allah does not die, he did not die for your sins. You are responsible for your own sins, deeds. Can you imagin gettin away with bad deeds and no one to judge you? Can you imagine all those who died already and did people harm, and now they got away with it? No, Allah will judge them and He will judge you. You might ask, well why is there bloodshed in this life? Well, we are created with choice. Is that not something we need? Allah could have created robots who do no harm. But where is the choice of doing good and be rewarded in that. Or doing bad and seeing there is also good. Please research about Islam. I promis you, you will find peace and tranquility in it. It is logical and makes sense to your soul and mind. Why do you think Islam is the fastest growing religion in the Western World.
