If God exists, then it is a selfish God

If God exists, and has always existed. And if God is perfect, and has always been perfect. Then it is unnecessary for there to be imperfection. Because God did not have to become perfect, but has always been perfect. Therefore there is no reason why everything else including ourselves should not be perfect. It would be selfish and immoral for God to keep his perfection to himself. Having all others earn an existence of perfection.

There is a lot of truth to what you say, and God is very logical, and you are approaching this as a logical question.

God is perfect, He does exist, and every thing He created was created perfect, but did not remain perfect.

In the Bible it does say that God is a selfish God. What that means is He loves us and wants us to love Him back.

He created Man in his image, and Woman from Man, and for Man. So woman was created from the image of Man, and Man was created from the image of God. You probably need to check with someone that understands Hebrew and the meanings of the original writings, but I am pretty certain I am correct or at least my logic is.

So what I am saying is, that God created everything perfect, but what He wanted was to be loved. What does that mean. Well, a shrimp was not created in God's image, it was created for Man, and then also for woman because of Man. A banana tree was not created in the image of God, and was created by God for Man, and then also for woman because of Man. The earth was created for Man, and then also for woman because of Man.

All the creations from God, except for Man, are created for Man, and for woman because of Man. Why is that true, because they were not created in God's image, they were created for Man, and for woman because of Man.

God never said He loved a pea plant. God never said he loved the moon. God never said he loved a snail. God said he created all of those things perfectly, but not because he loved them. He created all of those things for Man, and for Woman because of Man. What God loves is Man, and Woman because of Man.

God created everything that exists, but he only loves Man and Woman because of Man.

What is Love? It is defined as trust and respect. It is also an emotion that goes beyond logic and involves a desire to be together and be in a union. Love is a situation that makes entities want to be in public together, and be intimate and be naked together without shame in private, and it is a state of existence that both parties right or wrong, perfection or not, one with a shortcoming or both can forgive each other and their desire to be together is greater than any transgression either one or both of them could have committed.

Love is not perfect, what love is, is seeing someone as perfect when they are not. Only because, they have made themselves perfect by being transparent, and admitting their shortcomings and asking for forgiveness from who or whom? The one they also love. If they both are in love, then any deviation from trust and respect can be forgiven and the relationship can move forward, forgiving the imperfections, and concentrating on the love.

That means that love can not be forced. Love has to be gained by free will. Both parties have to have free will for love to exist. Any relationship forced is not love. Love can only exist when both parties are attracted to each other and want to be with each other, and can forgive any time the other has been unfaithful. It has to be wanted by both sides.

God created us all perfect, but then we fell away from perfection, and He is willing to see us as perfect when we are not if we can be transparent, and tell Him that we made mistakes, and have learned from those mistakes, and learned that what we only want is to be only with Him forever. Well God is and has always been perfect, so it us that can be the one to go astray and want to come back. His arms are always open to us when we run away or come running back.

God created everything perfect. The earth, the moon, everything that exists beyond our comprehension or sight in the sky, He also created everything perfect on this earth, animals, the environment, vegetation, sea life. He created all that perfectly for Man and for Woman, because of Man.

But perfection can never create love. Love can be given time and time again, and never come back. God loves us and wants us to love Him back. That is what makes God a selfish God. God could force us to be with Him, worship Him, and a want to live with Him forever. But as Man was created from God, and Woman was created from Man. We can only love someone if we are attracted to them and want to live with them forever.

The only way a perfect God can make a perfect creation and feel loved is to give the creation in His image, free will and never force perfection upon it.

@accidentprone What did God do before he created the universe? What was his purpose?
@accidentprone [quote] He also created everything perfect on this earth, animals, the environment, vegetation, sea life.[/quote]
Then he let 99.8% of all life go extinct. Also he is jealous first and foremost.

You’re putting god through your eyes. You’re going to think God is selfish.
@TheRascallyOne So then, the pooper next to the cooter is a perfect structure, hmmm?

We do not earn an existence of perfection..

We are gifted it by the LORD when we believe Him and trust in the Way He made for us to recieve His Gift...
@Adstar Written by superstitious bronze age sheep herders borrowing myths from other area cultures, gotcha.

@NativePortlander1970 if you did a bit of research you wold find that people of many professions wrote the bible, a priest, scribe, army general, cup bearer, fishermen, doctor, tent maker ,i could go on but you are probably too cynical and closed minded to take any notice

@NativePortlander1970 Bronze age sheep headers INSPIRED BY GOD!!! They never borrowed anything.. They clarified everything.. The other peoples who had flood stories where dispersed after the tower of Babel was brought down and so their stores faded and became infused by their local situation.. It took the intervention of God with Abraham to reveal the accurate version..

Also if people like you could think for just a minute you would realize the great food story in all it's varying versions all over the world actually points to there actually being a great flood They don't discredit the Bible assertion of a great flood.. They affirm it as happening..
If he created all.
Why throw in the evil?


Could have give that a miss really… IMO
