Where Are We From and What Is Our Purpose On Earth? by EternalBeing: 9:02am On Jan 20, 2019
Most deep thinking humans have been intrigued by this question from very young age. Now, after several generations and multiple life experiences, the answer has become obvious and self-evident. Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution claimed we had come from a less sophisticated model and evolved through natural selection and genetic mutations to become the human beings we are today. The Australian Aborigines believe in the distant past when Gods walked the earth they created humans, Hindus talk of the Rig Veda where a cosmic man was sacrificed to create humans, Christianity and Judaism believe God made humans to see those that can obey HIM and replace the fallen Angels, Muslims similarly believe in Adam and Hawa (Eve), and multiple other civilizations such as the Mayans had their own beliefs. With several theories to explain how we came to exist, most seem to be confused about why we are here. However, we've always marvel at is the existence of this stunning earth and everything that it contains; from the mountains and oceans, to the seasons and weathers, to the plants, animals, and human beings.

Knowing why you were sent to this earth can help you determine what you should and shouldn’t spend your time doing here on earth. Understanding what life is about can give personal direction and purpose.

All humans raced and fought to become humans. Right before you fertilized the egg and became you, billions of others raced but you won. There must be something eternally wonderful about coming alive in this World that those spirit sperm cells certainly knew. When you emerged the winner, they simply went back to the spirit world, hoping to have another chance some day. Sex is so Powerful, it's the spiritual activity of humans to create a new human. That's why it should never be trivialized. The question of why we are here on earth has a few surprisingly simple yet profound answers.
Before you came to earth, you lived as a spirit being and with others who had not yet been born. (see Jeremiah 1:5)

You are on Earth to learn, to impact the World for good, to be tested and to prove to the Great CREATOR of All that you appreciate Life more than perishables and deserve to live forever.
It would be too dangerous for YAHWEH to allow some humans to live forever. In HIS infinite wisdom, HE decides to test us all with this short period of consciousness called Life. Unfortunately, some forgot that this life is a short test and start destroying other souls, killing and eating other humans, etc.
Now as a mortal human being, you face many different trials, tribulations, and challenges. Through these tests, you can learn to exercise greater faith in, and become more like God. Instead of letting your troubles anger you, disillusion you, or callous you spiritually and emotionally, you can work to remain positive, compassionate, and kind. You grow wiser as you successfully overcome the obstacles placed in your path. This knowledge will help you learn to be more like Heavenly Father.
''The purpose of life is to live a life of purpose.”

I really do not think there is a purpose for us here. We are concieved, birthed, we live and we die. No grand scheme, no singing angels at death and definitely no fiery furnace. It's just oblivion!

And what could be the consequence of destroying other souls?

don't you think this brings to question the premise of God's omnipotence?

If your candidate is falling down on the podium,
What do you do?
You Atikulate

When your candidate can't differentiate between Presidential, Senatorial and 'Guvernatorial' candidate,
What do you do?
You Atikulate

When your candidate is so scared of appearing for a debate,
What do you do?
You Atikulate.

If you want to grow Nigeria again,
What do you do?...
You Atikulate.

The point of life is to propagate itself. We are merely vessels for that purpose.

What's a bird's purpose? Or an elephant? Why would Man's purpose be specially different?

Being able to eat, see, run, reproduce, think, and create tools are expressions of life finding different ways to propagate and survive nature.
We see these same properties in every other life form to varying degrees, and just so happen to be the most intelligent species right now, on this particular planet.

Life is such an amazingly complex process that it's hard to understand how it ever developed, though it's thought that - given the same raw materials (proteins, salts, heavy metals, irradiation, energy, and time) at the right amounts - it can exist in many parts of the Universe.

if its purpose you seek then religion is the wrong place to start your search.. you need to come to terms with the fact that there is no God. ,heal from that first..only then would you see the world differently the way it really is... then you'd understand there is no purpose other than life itself....so live and enjoy it while you still have it........

Ignorance is a disease.
OP stop wasting your time on things that doesn't matter and focus on things that matters the most to you and people around you.
You are a product of sex. Sperm from your Dad and your mom s egg. Nothing more and nothing less. Your purpose is to leave a life that will not put other people at risk or hurt them.

So God created and place u on earth so that u will make heaven? Why didnt God place u in heaven.

and for op, you want to tell me that God created and place u on earth for test/refinement, if u pass the test he takes u to heaven if u fail he burns u forever. Does that make sense to you? Why create people in the first place knowing that some will not pass his test. Remember, nobody asked/begged God to creat him.

Some of you make your god look like a cruel monster.

Everybody has a single of encompassing purpose on this earth plane, that is to help the universe understand itself , the universe wants only one thing which is to know and experience every possibility of itself there is, your life and mine only matters because at death the universal mind collects all our experiences and moves closer to total self understanding (this is the seven minutes or so scientists talked about where all your life experiences is played back) ....there is no God waiting to judge u and condemn u at death, after death is life again, you are purely consciousness,you are not whatever name that u bear, u are not ur emotions, u are not ur thoughts, u are not ur experience.... We gather all these as we grow and age and at death taken by the universal mind and our consciousness is recycled, clean and neat...re-incarnation is realer than u think....some ask why they don't remember their previous life if they ve undergone re-incarnation, its simply cos u ve submitted all the experiences u gathered in ur previous life....we are all Gods that have amnesia......I'd love to go on but then.

I don't have any purpose in this world because I did not come here on my own accord - the sexual escapades of my parents brought me here. So, if anything, I am fulfilling the purpose of my parents.


Even though my parents did not get my consent before bringing me here, I am still thriving hard to make some money and live a comfortable life.
