Zone1 Are You Aware Of Your God-Given Purpose In Life?

[Woodznutz]

My purpose seems to be to make things better, whatever I do. The world is falling apart. We need more maintenance people.

 

[Woodznutz]

Ecclesiastes 12:13
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

"Pandemics, floods, genocide and cancer is what god gives you. I only give you orgies and weed" - Satan

Yet none of those things were in the Garden of Eden. Why would a Father give his own child cancer? The things you described come from Satan, not God. He goes to and fro upon the earth distributing pain.

Satan has control of this earth for a time. Adam handed it over to Him. Look at what Satan tempted Christ with in the desert. Satan could offer those things because Satan has dominion over all those things. Christ is coming back to put an end to Satan's reign upon the earth and bring peace to us.
And considering we are about to nearly obliterate life on this planet in the upcoming war, peace will be a welcome relief. Bring it Christ. Maranatha.

Many ask this question over and over again, "What is my purpose in life?" They even say, "Why am here?" While some say, "What am I suppose to be doing while on earth?" Others travel from one international destination to the next in search of their purpose for living.

What is your God-given purpose in life?

Purpose? Lol

It all seems so silly. Why would he get pissed off and kick Satan out of Heavan, but then give him dominion over the earth?

God didn't give dominion over to Satan because He didn't have dominion over the earth. He gave the title to Adam:

Gen.1:26-31. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

And being 100% just, God had to honor it. But dominion came with a time limit. We are there.

The earth was originally created for the pleasure of the angels.

Job 38
6 Whereupon are the foundations (of the earth) thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

It was their 'estate' and 'habitation'. (Jude 6).

"And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day."

Lucifer sought to elevate his earthly throne over all the angels. He ascended to the third heaven and attempted to do just that. He wanted to be equal to God. He was cast back to earth but retained 'lordship' over it, for the time being. He will be deposed when Christ returns as Lord of all.

I never got the 411 from God so I did many things.

The 411 was always inside you.

 

[The Irish Ram]

I am 87.

I have not received any definitive proof so far that God and an afterlife exist.

I keep asking two beloved deceased relatives to send me a sign that they have forgiven me for failing them, but so far I have not noticed any answer.

Is it God's purpose for thousands of Ukrainian and Russian boys to die daily? Was it God's purpose for 1200 people to be massacred on October 7? Was it His purpose for a woman here in Los Angeles to be murdered on the subway the other day? What about those people who are at this very moment suffering horrific terminal diseases?

It is hard to believe that God has a "purpose" for anyone who was unlucky enough to be born!

You have God's purpose confused with man's. God's purpose was the Garden of Eden. Man's was to invade the Ukraine, to kill people on Oct. 7th...

Yet who created man?

 

[Woodznutz]

Yet who created man?

God gave mankind free will. Mankind just made the wrong choice.

 

[The Irish Ram]

Yet who created man?

God did. He wanted children. And has many of them.

 

[Moonglow]

God did. He wanted children. And has many of them.

Then it is his fault for what humans do.

The 411 was always inside you.

I am sure th gatekeeper has the keys.

Really? So dysfunction rules...

Laughing leads to crying.

Is what I do your fault?
