The answer you want to hear is to glorify God. My answer includes that, but doesn't stop there. Not only to glorify God, but to provide Him with beings who love him of their own decision, to provide companionship. Beings created and then forced to glorify him are no more than computer programs--not companions.

You do know the correct answer but it sticks in your throat...you just can not accept say it . You can not say that God is an end in Himself..that He does not need YOU..that my friend is the reason that Calvinists say Arminianism is the lie of Eden. It is a lie that must be told to get people to the altar...God NEEDS you...Choose Him PLEASE He is beging you for your approval

God was for all eternity past complete unto Himself..Show me a scripture that says God needs man?

Where did I say that God needs man?

Show me a scripture that says God needs man?

It's not what God needs. It's what He wants.

As a "Mom of 7" you never told your kids that their wants and their needs were different?

I do notice how shadow trumps glory with love. I wonder how many verses say that God created man to love Him vs. how many scriptures say that God created man to Glorify Him.
