If you believe He created you then these questions can be answered but if you don't then we'll have to start from there first. Answering you without knowing your beliefs would be tantamount to trying to use the Quran to win over a devout Christian.

Nothing of the sort!

When One Good Thing has been done to you, we say thank you, knowing you can do Him Good in return! (Because of The Law of "Do Unto Others"wink

When One Great thing has been done, we bow down to He who has done that Great thing in serious Thank-You-Giving or Thanks Giving for short. Still knowing that you could one day, Do One or Two or a Couple of Good Things in Return


What do you think shall therefore happen to He Who has Done Many Great and Mighty Good Things? And He is Still going to Continue Doing Those Great and Mighty Things?

And you Can not Do Him any Good Thing in Return, so that you can Cancel your Debt of Goodness Owed. Thus, you Perpetually Owe Him Great and Mighty Goodness in Return! (Hence, The Lord's Prayer, "Forgive us our Debts" is Accurate).

So how many Thank Yous' do you think you are owing? And how many thank yous' do you think you shall be owing? And how many thank yous owed do you think you shall be able to pay back?

And where He continues to do you Good, you continue to owe, so when and how shall you repay those thank yous owed?

Worship, love and Service is the Nearest thing we can do to begin the pursuit in Settling our Perpetual Debts of Goodness Received and Owed!

Your worshipping or not does not make Him greater or smaller, He is who He is, God!
You are limited to time, space and even reason but He is not.
A little while from now you and your thoughts may just be history and He will ever remain Who He Is- God!
Think!

Here's a vague answer for your largely vague and not so sincere questions...

Since we know we'll all die someday, then what's the essence of living? Why do we care to enjoy life and leave a good name/legacy? Why do we need validation of our purpose by continuing to exist in an inevitable mortal existence?

It is not everyone that seeks enjoyment.
There's no purpose to be validated.

Because there is some enjoyment to be had. Because there is hope for survival tomorrow. Because the the biological imperative for survival compels us to struggle for survival. Because there is reasonable expectation that survival is possible. And a myriad other reasons.

You forget that you are eternal in a sense, just like other spirits, your spirit cannot "die" because it is from the Eternal God the Father of spirits. The best evil spirits can have is hell fire, they will be like fish outside water in Heaven don't you think? Would you like your father to force you to live with him forever?
Re: If God Is All Powerful Then Why Does He Need People To Worship Him? by sonmvayina(m): 2:25pm On May 22, 2021
Worship?..where did you get that idea from?..God only gave us laws to follow so that we can have a good life.


No more no less.
No fucck another man wife
Honor your parents
No tiff
No kill
No lie for person head
Give your self one day take rest
No worship idol or anything wey resemble wetin dey heaven, earth or water wey dey under the earth.(the Christians are super guilty of this commandment. They worship a man, wettin dey earth)
No use intermediary take reach God.
No too put eye for another man property or wife.

E no hard. If you fit do all these things, you are already on your way to a higher realm.
Your life go sweet.

Like God tell us "if a man's ways is pleasing to the lord, he even makes his enemies to be at peace with him"

The goal is peace...

The Proof of God is Seen in His Judgements when they arrive and executed.

Every soul knows in Truth that God's Judgement has Fallen on a Person and No Soul Misses it, for it is Always Noticeable.

Which is why Nigerians confess "dem don Curse that one" or hmm, God dey deal with that man O!

It is Known that God Lives and Rules and you are only trying to make yourself not accept it by telling yourself that!

I guess when Dr Myles Munroe died in a plane crash it was your god that killed him or when Dare Adegboye died in his sleep your god executed him. LMAO! Keep interpreting natural phenomenon as the doings of your god since it seems to give you comfort. The vagaries of life don't care for your beliefs.
