Why is God considered worthy of worship? In this world filled with so many bad things—children dying, incurable diseases, war—how can we regard God as deserving of reverence or worship, even if He exists?
Sep 13, 2024Because people like having hope after life as a reward of their suffering while they were on earth. It's a story that we told each other over and over again until we forget it's a lie.
Sep 16, 2024You think that God doesn't live up to your moral standards and that's ok but your moral standards aren't really important. The Abrahamic God is considered by believers to be the ultimate moral authority and it doesn't matter what his moral character truly is. Everything that God does is good by definition even if you don't like it. His actions aren't supposed to be morally justified to every person in the world.
Sep 16, 2024The reason theists worship God is not because of love but rather a deep down fear for their life in this world and the afterlife. They have already become slave to it
Sep 20, 2024i agree
Sep 20, 2024Its not a bad question but correlation does not imply causation. The bad things you listed: war, disease and death could be easly attributed to God. But more often than not; they are the result of human action. If the biblical God is the incarnation of good; then if he exists, not having a relationship with him is chosing to have a relationship with the non-good. The things you listed maybe a side effect of not having a relationship with whats good, therefore attracting whats bad (i.e disaster, disease and war). Idk tho; just my opinion
Sep 16, 2024You're wrong in so many ways that I don't even know where to start.
Sep 16, 2024the question should have been how are we worthy enough .....mtsm
Sep 16, 2024What I would recommend you is to read the bible, because then you will start to ask the right question, which is "Do we deserve to worship Him?" For now, my answer to your question would be Yes because God is Good, and I am not saying this blindly. The first thing you see in Genesis chapter 1 is God's goodness in a way He creates all the good things that the human beings He is going to create in the 6th day will need. He creates the light, earth, seas, vegetation, plants yielding seeds, fruit trees, placed the great lights, sea creatures, winged birds, and the livestock and sees they are good. What does it mean to 'see they are good'? The word good is not mentioned only on the second day of creation, WHY? Because nothing created on the second day had a direct purpose that benefited the human beings to be created in the 6th day and to whom earth will be given to, to rule. Therefore, God sees what is good for human beings, because God is good. So, what went wrong with all the good God created? Well, Adam and Eve chose to discern what is good and evil for themselves and not trust the God, that had their best interest in mind from the day 1 of creation. Why is it considered so bad to be able to discern good and evil? Because our lens is distorted. God let them to live out their choice, to be able to discern good and evil, and what is the first thing that happens? Yeah, Cain murders his own brother, Abel. Fast forward to Noah, we see the world running wild and one righteous man is found amidst this wildness. Now, keep in mind, we chose to discern bad and evil for ourselves through our own distorted lens and went on to ruin the world God gave us to rule. But God is good and righteous, so, He doesn't sit and watch people murdering and doing evil to each other, He washes this evil clean and spares only Noah and his family. After, that God again blesses Noah. Basically, this is what happens again and again in the Bible, which is also exactly what you see in our world today. God creates what is good for us and gives us the chance to do good ourselves, but we choose to rebel against God and do evil and ruin the world. Yet, God out of his goodness gives us hope of living with Him where there is no evil and is eternal, through believing in Jesus Christ. If this is not good, then what is good?
