Noah's Ark

A question........ Why did God create man?

No, a better question is Why is Satan so determined to corrupt and destroy mankind.

[~candice~]

Otherwise what you have is mankind being destroyed for the crimes of angels.

That is exactly what we are saying. The intermix had become so bad that few had not been corrupt. Noah was perfect in his generations, but the rest of the population has been so corrupt by the teachings of these entities that God destroyed it all..... except for Noah and his family and what they put into the boat. An attempt to breed out the blood line so Jesus would not/ could not be a pure decendent of Adam. And it nearly worked.

this story is repeated one way or another in nearly every culture that has a recorded history

So you disagree with post 155? Do you believe that their interpretation of the hebrew is incorrect? If so, why?

I don't know how this happened, but I didn't make the statement in the quote above. The traceback doesn't go back to that statement either .

No I don't agree with the post. Largely because every translation I have seen uses a capitol God in this translation. The people that translated our Bibles are in agreement with me. And the text of the sentance would make much less sense if the writer was just speaking of ordinairy men in this case.That's just my take on it.

And Kathyann, after reading most of the Unabridged Babylonian Talmud in the mid 1970's, I'm really very leary of Jewish teachings of what the Bible says. Jesus was not very happy with the way their oral teaching had currupted what Moses had taught. After that study in my early life, I can't disagree with him.

As have I no biggie.

I believe I know the answer you are looking for. That would be because we are made in the image of God.

This would go along with your theory that fallen angels corrupted women in order to ruin God's image.

It could also be because God loves us as those of us who are his also love him. The more Satan can steal for himself the better as far as he is concerned. We are the one weapon he can use against God. He hates us because with God, we can overcome.

He could also hate man because God took on human form as our savior.

Satan is determined to destroy mankind because God loves us.

Why did God create man? Because He was bored? Because He thought it was a good idea at the time? Because He needed someone to "manage" earth? (He does not need us at all)

To worship Him, why else?

And the amazing thing is He did it knowing what was coming, knowing we were going to sin big time, knowing He would have to sacrifice His Son.

That is called agape' love. That is called unmerited favor. That is called Grace (and thank God for it every second!).

I disagree. I don't think that God created man to worship Him. He already had the angels to do that. If God merely wanted worship He could have created more angels or simply created man without a free will.

God created man because He wanted a counterpart, a bride that He could marry. This is clearly shown in the revelation of the Bible from Genesis to the book of Revelation. The Bible begins with a marriage and ends with a a marriage.

So that's why were streched so much He's making us big enough to hold! Love Steven

I think that pretty much hits things right on the head Ovedaya. We aren't created in that position, but given the free will opertunity to grow into the position through free will. Some of us will make it and some won't. Satan just can't stand the fact that when this age is over, the humans left will have a place higher than the angels in the heavenly realm of things. Satan has been trying to destroy or polute mankind from the time of Adam and Eve.

1 Cor 6:1-3

Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints? Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Do you not know that we shall judge angels ?

NKJV

Don't you just find it fascinating that until Satan convinced Eve to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, that we, as mankind, were not qualified as a race of beings to do that. Satan has had a very highly vested interest in corrupting mankind in every way possible.

Ah!

Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. Revelation 4:11

The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing. Zephaniah 3:17

saTan Shows Men The Evil Heart Of Sin

But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death. Proverbs 8:6

But God Saw It Coming

Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;

But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, 1 Peter 1:18-20

And He Acted

And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. 1 Timothy 3:16

With Joy

Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:2

See

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16

Throw The Book At Him Dear Brother, Throw The Book At Him For It Is Written.....

He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. John 12:48

See He Got Caught Fair And Square, It Is Written

Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Genesis 3:1(a-c)

Yes It Is Written

And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: Genesis 3:4

Praise The Name Of Jesus~!

He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 1 John 3:8

Hallelujah!

Amen!
