Your question requires me to think a lot about how my response can best spawn additional debate. It is very complicated to respond just right, and I do not want to mess it up. I will have to thank you for your question because it brought up an opportunity to troll much more completely, and I will have to research more. I was about to post it on this thread before I realized it was a half hatched troll idea and requires more research before I can say without a doubt.
but why would the god want to be worshipped? and why would he only tell a few people? this sets them up so they can control the rest.
Hey, who wants Sipher's email address?
They know about it, but they accept it as much as they accept mary or the saints.Many Christian sects use the term Holy Spirit, it is after all part of the trinity. It's not like some group of Christians said we accept Christ but this Holy Spirit nonsense Jesus talks about it just silly. Some denominations may downplay the Holy Spirit but I would go so far as to say 99% of practicing Christians know about the Holy Spirit.
When great people, like professors or political leaders, repeatedly demand praise, they lose a huge amount of respect.Jesus charged man with the authority to spread the Gospel. God aids them along the way. Christianity as spread across all corners of the World just as Jesus commanded.
God wants to be praised for what he is, a supreme sinless being. But what he wants for us is to become something very close to what he is.
It is like when a genius scholar has many uneducated students. Like Socrates for example. He wants to educate his students so they will eventually become something very valuable.
This can be seen with college professors teaching students and having these students eventually help the professor with his research.
I do occasionly read up on interesting articles in science. But to this day it has not touched me in a way that I will want to investigate more. Bring something of interest science related that attempts to answer all the questions and I will be all ears.
It's true. But I'm bored.stop argueing w/ this faggot he is brainwashed or trolling u either way its pointless and he should just be banned

True, these people usually request additional people to help them in their tasks, but they don't request that the rest of us stand around patting them on the back.
but why would the god want to be worshipped?
Before I was saved I would have tried to become more qualified to get those jobs. Now that I am saved and have devoted my life to God, God chooses my faith and not I.
If he wants me to be a pastor, then the doors will be more open then if I wanted personally to be a lawyer. I do not think God wants me to be a pastor as those doors are not really that open.
I prefer the inverse question. Why would a human being want to worship a "lord"? Why would someone ever want that for themselves?

The primary reason any authority figured is followed: fear
all communication is through written letters or email.
This thread makes me want to burn a church
The relationship between parent and child is first formed on the physical level. god doesn't show up on the physical level, so we cannot develop this kind of connection with him.
If he was really interested in developing this kind of bond with the rest of us, he would physically be there with us from the beginning.
It's like trying to develop a relationship with a parent, when you never see or hear from that parent, and all communication is through written letters or email.

It's an unimportant detail; something that merely complicates their beliefs.
