If god (Yhwh) created all except from himself, and being that he1 is perfect; why would him create anything? Why in the hell would the creation need something else?
Did a... perfect god, NEED something?

10 The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,
11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

He doesn't NEED us, he WANTS us. His love and goodness are infinite, he is so good that he can even create good out of evil, you should GROVEL to him for having made you and letting you live to begin with, Pedro, now go pray.
Colton Hall
The bible says God created for his pleasure. A man can make a bird house without NEEDING a bird house.
Revelation 4:11
>Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
Christian Taylor
>The bible says God created for his pleasure.
This implies that God was dissatisfied before creation. A perfect being is not dissatisfied.
Aaron Lopez
>He doesn't NEED us, he WANTS us.
To want is imperfect.

If God has no limits, then what is the only thing He cannot experience? Limits. Which is why he created us limited creatures.

Maybe read a book about the universe and stop wondering about a kike on a stick.

zing! Christianity disproven.
God wanted a garden planet and created us to take care of it for Him.

It's a reasonable question, but can a dog understand the mind of his human master?
Chase Watson
What do you base the claim that God is perfect on specifically?
Luis Peterson
He is also jealous I think that is imperfection also
Xavier Green
What do you base that on specifically?

because God isn't a fucking nigger and wanted to create something beautiful, now fuck off or i will fucking rape your ass by some italian mafioso in argentina, stronzo.

>A perfect being is not dissatisfied.
A perfect being can be dissatisfied.

He didn't need anything nor anyone. He is fully complete within himself. This is why God created anything to begin with:
>(1 John 4:16) And we ourselves have come to know and have believed the love that God has in our case. GOD IS LOVE, and he that remains in love remains in union with God and God remains in union with him.
>(1 John 4:8) He that does not love has not come to know God, because GOD IS LOVE.
>(Exodus 34:6) And Jehovah went passing by before his face and declaring: “Jehovah, Jehovah, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abundant in loving-kindness and truth,
>(Micah 7:18) Who is a God like you, one pardoning error and passing over transgression of the remnant of his inheritance? He will certainly not hold onto his anger forever, for he is delighting in loving-kindness.
Jehovah was so satisfied, joyful, and happy with his own existence that he wanted to share that same experience with others OUT OF LOVE. Remember when you were a kid and you did something or found something so amazing that you ran home to share it with your parents or to school for Show N' Tell? That's God. Only he had no one to run to and shower them with his amazing experiences so he decided to create others to do so with.

>Did a... perfect god, NEED something?
In the context of a bronze age eastern Mediterranean tribal religion yes, this anthropomorphism of ultimate reality did need something: pets to caress and kick around at its whim.

Don't think about it,, it's a "holy mystery".. and don't forget to put money in the collection basket.

OP is close to taking the Gnostic pill. Yahweh isn't perfect, and Yahweh needs to create in order to attempt to fill what imperfection naturally lacks. But because everything Yahweh (the Demiurge) creates is impermanent, he needs to constantly create. This realm of physicality is in a state of constant lacking. Yahweh is not our Heavenly Father, he is the one who confines our brilliant minds in worthless flesh.

I actually agree with you. Life right now sucks for 99.9% of everyone on earth. Life for humans was meant to be like pic related. Everyone on earth was supposed to live like Adam and Eve before the fall. They were meant to live in a perfect body, mind, and spirit in a perfect world with a perfect environment. Every human on earth would be a friend all would be good to you. Every animal on earth was meant to be your friend down to the venomous centipedes to the giant sharks in the water.
Life on earth was meant to be PERFECT. When God created Adam he had every animal approach him so Adam could name them all. That was God's "show n' tell." He was so joyful for what he had created he wanted to share it all with everyone. INCLUDING YOU.
Very soon though, Armageddon will come and the earth will be converted BACK INTO that paradise in pick related.
Mason Butler
First thing to note is God is Absolute.
Growth is experiential, if you cannot err you cannot grow. So God (Absolute) makes Children(Potential Absolute through personality growth).
Allowing free will, allows for error, which creates experience, and overall positive growth for the Supreme Being, who is the accumulation of all universal experience.
Create universes with planets and bestow enough children across the galaxies and there will be plenty of learning opportunities to go around, the more opportunities the more growth.

>Be Ichneumon Wasp
>Only way to reproduce is to lay eggs in a caterpillar
>Larvae slowly devour caterpillar, but only enough to still keep it alive for as long as possible
>Ichneumon Wasp would shake Darwin's belief in a "perfect creation" as presented in the bible
Get the fuck out of here with this shit. Nature is struggle. All life is suffering. Cope. Survive. Thrive.

Absolute perfect post, user. Do yourselves a favor and read the Apocryphon of John so Yahweh(Yaldabaoth)'s treachery is revealed to you.
pic related, it's what Christians mistake as God

God NEEDS Your MONEY. give now to the organized Religion that best exploits your dull witted feebleness.
