Well.. For sure I am not known for few words..
but it is the readers choice to read, respond or ignore. You respond.. Which then makes me feel that I should respond likewise... Then who knows we have a dialogue!!!
Of course for the non- believer such things as blasphemy against God means nothing. However, we cannot prove beyond doubt the existence of God and it is something we take (or not) on faith. Yet, if God does indeed exist and is creator of all then choosing not to believe does not in itself negate the sin of for example.. Blasphemy. Only the unbelievers acknowledgement of it. The possibility remains that one may have to answer for it before God. Then we get into another realm of would God hold someone responsible for such a sin if the person did not or chose not to see it as sin.
Need is not the same as want is it. I may want chocolate but I do not need it.
Worship is “to give honour, homage, reverence, respect, adoration, praise, or glory to a superior being.” God wishes us to worship Him because He and He alone is worthy of it. He is the only being that truly deserves worship. He requests that we acknowledge His greatness, His power, and His glory.
God expects us to worship Him as an expression of reverence and thanksgiving to Him. He wants not only for us to love Him.. He wants us to act justly toward each other, to show love and compassion to others. This glorifies God. When we worship with an obedient heart and an open and repentant spirit, God is glorified. It's like if someone does you a great service are you not thankful to that person? Would you wish to honour or acknowledge that service in return? For the believer, who sees all we have and all we are and can hope to be comes from our creator we know as God, then we feel justified in honouring God for that. There is no compulsion placed upon us. The rain falls on the unrighteous as it does the righteous. God created us out of love we worship Him out of love. For a believer it's simples.. Ya.
What you mean by bad things? The parasite for example often has a part to play in the cycle of life. So is it bad? Or do we just consider it so. Floods... Even could be seen to some extent a product of our being, global warming, soil erosion through deforestation it could be said to be a consequence of mankind's greed and our not caring for the world as we were meant to do. There has to be balance, but for evil... is not a creation of God, but it exists in the "absence" of God in the same way that dark exists as the absence of light. Btw.. Did you know a rainbow is a sign of the covenant God made with Noah..
from the believers perspective.. In this case ~ christian.
Well, I kind of agree with what you say here. If God is the supreme deity then nothing is impossible for God. Angel Gabriel said that.. "For nothing is impossible with God" .. I believe the Qur'an portrays God as omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent as the Bible does. So we really should not be applying our need for God to fit within the bounds of human logic. I would want a deity such as God, whom reveals Himself to be.. bigger and greater than that. We cannot hope to perceive God in all His glory in our sinful state.. Our time is not yet come.
Another long reply I fear.
