I don't have a reading comprehension problem. But to answer your question, yes we are inferior to Him. He is all knowing, all powerful etc, etc. I don't think you or I either one could say that about ourselves do you??
Again: Why did your all-powerful God design inferior creatures with no other purpose but to worship him?
Originally posted by no1marauderWell, actually He didn't! If you will read Genesis Chapter 1 you will discover that we were created to rule and have dominion over what God has made. We also get to worship an all powerful Creator. That is the anwer to your question. He did not.
So answer the question.

You are correct that "irrespective of who anyone worships" we were all created by God. Is everyone a follower of the 1 true God? No. As an example. If I had a son or daughter and they ran away, decided they didn't want to listen to me or what i have to say they are still m ...[text shortened]... ed to love one another.
Do you have children? If so, do they always do what you say?
6.5 billion population. 2 billion Christians. 1/3 for easy counting. God obviously will just send the other 4.5 billion to hell obviously.
If I had a son or daughter and they ran away, decided they didn't want to listen to me or what i have to say they are still my children but are still not doing what they are supposed to do. They are not treating me as a father and not allowing me to be a father to them. They could go out a steal, kill, rape etc, etc, etc. They are still my children, but are doing thier own thing right?
You are not omniscient, or omnipotent, right? Your One True God (TM) apparently is. He created those souls uniquely, knowing, in advance, that they'd be horrible little sinners, and have to send them to hell. Disagree if you will, but by disagreeing you are merely pointing out that God is either (a) not omnipotent, (b) not omniscient, or (c) not omnibenevolent.
Do you have children? If so, do they always do what you say?
No, but if I did, I'm sure they wouldn't be out murdering each other. Apparently, I'd make a better parent than your God does.

So, your one true God (TM), who created every single human soul on the planet only sent his only begotten son to save 1/3 of them?
I'll ask you this again. Irrespective of who anyone worships, are we not all "children of God"? And if so, why did he create a world where so many of his children deign to kill each other and do so many horrible thing ...[text shortened]... ach other.
And no, don't think you can fudge your answer or ignore me - I don't go away.
a few are going to find the way. Which means in my opinion that again
as Jesus said, not everyone who calls Him Lord actually in a right
relatinoship with God through Christ. It never was about the more the
better, it is about those who will, that can be a lot or next to nothing.
The way has been made for everyone, but everyone wants it or cares
about it, at least in this life time.

Originally posted by scottishinnzThanks for clearing up the 1/3 thing. I was wondering where that came from. Anyway, the other 2/3 (for easy counting) are not being sent to hell by God, but are given a choice (obviously) whether they want to go to heaven or to hell. Remember we have a free will. Everyone chooses. It sounds like you have made a choice yourself (just based on your posts). We either choose to serve God or we choose to serve satan. It's that easy. It's black and white (obviously).

And since you don't have children and you aren't omnisient or omnipresent (maybe you are, maybe that's why you don't have kids so they won't turn out bad) how can you know for sure they wouldn't turn out "horrible"?
You really can't say that with any sound realistic proof or with any certainty! Sorry, can't give you that one.
