What does God do?

God is different than people in the sense that He is absolutely self-sufficient. He doesn¹t get lonely or bored. He doen't need cable or GameBoy or sports. At the same time, God in His nature is big on bringing glory to Himself. Basically, God is about the business of making His name and reputation BIG! Therefore His will and actions are a part of an ultimate plan to glorify Himself. It is almost as if God is a master artist, and He is painting a Masterpiece on the canvas of time. When God began painting, it was the beginning of time, when the picture is completed, it will be the end of time. We live in the midst of the brush strokes, so it is impossible to see how everything fits together, but we can be assured that the Artist knows what He is doing.

He is bringing everything (every kingdom - spiritual and physical; every person - saved and unsaved; every being - angelic, human and animal) under His absolute authority.

"Then the end will come, when he (Jesus) hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power. For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet...When he has done this, then the Son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him, so that God may be all in all." I Corinthians 15:24-28.

At the same time God is drawing humanity to Himself through His Holy Spirit. He created mankind to be with Him but sin separated humanity from their Creator. Since then God has been seeking to draw mankind back to Himself. He sent His Son to redeem our depraved souls. He sends His Spirit to draw us back into a proper relationship with Himself.

cold: @Ledafaze,that argument just doesn't stack up.It is weak & paint God as lazy & completely out of touch with the realities of the times we live in

ledafaze:

Please dont be cold as your name implies... lols...

Be open and read inbetween the lines to see the real sense for yourself. Dont tell me you are waiting for me to point out that He is also responding to our prayers oh... He listen to the prayers of the saints... you know how many people are praying at this moment? Come on! He is a strategist making his plan come to pass... Making sure that He empowers his saints to be able to win more souls to the Kingdom and when its filled up (which I will be one of by His grace), then WE will then round things up!

cold:
Oh please!This is akin to after struggling to put up a beautiful house,you just sit there and watch someone knock it down brick by brick and do nothing.Whist saying to yourself,you're waiting for the right time to react.Does that even make sense to you?Or would you give the 'God's ways are not our ways' standard rhetoric reserved for all trick questions?

ledafaze:

Believe me... you will need to talk straight... Pinpoint ur question

Alfa-B:
^^^whatever

cold:
My question is as straight forward as they come. Why has the world gone pear shaped under God's watch?
If we can criticise the president for not living up to his responsibilities;a mere mortal what more an all seeing & all knowing God.Shouldn't more be expected of him?

Gombs:

Ever heard of the noun SATAN or DEVIL?

Well, God does not legally have a right to this world, remember he casted down Satan n his cohorts down here from heaven for their rebellion, so Satan ruined the earth God wonderfully created and he still is. God ONLY interferes on Earth matters through man. So if man don't pray, satan keeps wrecking havoc and make you blame God.


Well, I knw you don't really need answers nor truth, I just typed the above for those who'd view this page to learn.

Meanwhile, why ask what immortals do for a living?
Immortals live outside time, they don't need food or work or business or monies or such to survive/live

I must say, that's a very intelligent question

cold:

So God just sits his backside & watch his creation go to pieces because he is incapable of checkmating Satan,Lucifer or whatever nomenclature he goes by. Yeah makes perfect sense. Then he shouldn't be regarded as all knowing,almighty etc. Because he is clearly impotent & incapacitated to stop anything.
Or on the other hand, he could be the cause of everything evil in the world today & only looking for a bogeyman..referred to as the devil to blackmail for his actions. Remember it was God that said this...not the devil

Gombs:



Your opinion is duly noted

cold:
Cool. Finally someone is getting the message

Gombs:

What message? What God does for a living?

BTW are you an atheist or agnostic?

cold:
Let's just say i'm a man with no invinsible means of support.

Gombs:

An good definition for atheism

cold:
Oh well,if you put it like that...

Venerable612: Mr Cold... U luk tu me a Phil student. Well... D strenth of Ur argument lies in d Fact dat there z "Evil in d Universe".
But i dnt tink dats enuf reason 2 question Gods xistenc or lack of actions. I "believe" God must av REASONS 4 alowin tins apen d way dey do; and we cant always xpect Him(God) to giv us reasons why he alows dese tinz apen(Why is He God in d fest place).
I wil just enjoin u 2 tke d fideist stanc. bliv in Jesus nau... Nd liv acordin 2 His tenets. If U die nd dere z aa reality of Heaven nd hell.. Den u wud mke heaven..nd if dere isnt.. U wont b loosin anytin.

BodyKiss:

Typical, living in denial, and trying to play smart with your "God". It amazes me the way most religious people worships their God like he's some kind of computer software, programed to work in a specific way.
