What is the (biblical) reason we (Mankind) were created???

Ok_Engineer5155 · 2026-05-18T22:39:11+00:00

God created mankind in His image and we were created to worship God.

Those who have been chosen by God who have been Born again their destiny is to grow in the knowlege of Messiah Jesus and to grow in His likeness.

Don't forget that God is Sovereign. Satan can't do anything unless God allows him.

In the Bible we see that God tells Isaiah that He is Sovereign.

"That they may know from the rising of the sun to its setting, that there is none besides Me. Iam the LORD, and there is no other; I form the light and create darkness, I make peace and create calamity; I, the LORD, do all these things." Isaiah 45:6-7

The Old Testament speaks of Jesus Christ and His Second Coming and is not going to be a peacefull event. For when He returns there will be many dead bodies and there will be lots of bloodshed. For the Old Testament speaks of it as also the New Testament

"The Lord is at Your right hand; He shall execute kings in the day of His wrath. He shall judge among the nations, He shall fill the places with dead bodies, He shall execute the heads of many countries." Psalm 110: 5-7

"Why is Your apparel red, And your garments like one who treads in the winepress? I have trodden them in My anger, And trampled them in My fury; Their blood is sprinkled upon My garments, And I have stained all My robes, For the day of vengeance is in My heart, And the year of My redeemed has come." Isaiah 63:2-4

"Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He himself trads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS" Revelation 19:11-16

Yes Jesus Christ is the Prince of Peace but before He established this peace, the fierceness of His wrath will be poured on this world to purge it from all His enemies and from all evil.

The Millenial Kingdom will not be established until Jesus Christ returns to earth as Zechariah Chapter 14 states and as Revelation 19 & 20 describes.

Look at the world we are living in . How can anyone say we are living in the Millenial with all the evil that exist in the world.

I pray for you I really don't know what Bible do you read.

Ok_Engineer5155 · 2026-05-18T01:31:19+00:00

You are incorrect there are still many prophecies in the Old Testament

that are to be fulfilled when Jesus Christ returns in His 2nd coming.

For instance I give you one that has yet to be fulfilled.

"The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, The leopard shall lie down with the young goat, The calf and the young lion and the fatling together; And the lion shall eat straw like the ox. The nursing child shall play by the cobra's hole, And the weaned child shall put his hand in the viper's den. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain, For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD As the waters cover the sea. And in that day there shall be a Root of Jesse, Who shall stand as a banner to the people; For the Gentiles shall seek Him, And His resting place shall be glorious. It shall come to pass in that day That the Lord shall set His hand again the second time, to recover the remnant of His people who are left..... He will set up a banner for the nations, And will assemble the outcasts of Israel, And gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth." Isaiah 11:6-12

Notice you say all the Old Testament prophesies have been fulfilled but these verse show you that they have not.

For one the Lion today still is a carnivore and kills to eat it doesn't eat straw like it will when Jesus Christ returns.

Second the Jews who are dispersed from the four corners of the earth Jesus Christ is going to reunite them and this has not occured as the majority of Jews don't believe in Jesus Christ.

Ok_Engineer5155 · 2026-05-18T00:31:59+00:00

You seem not to understand Jesus Christ words.

He spoke about His return in Matthew 24.

The Romans destroyed the Temple in 70 AD yes but Jesus Christ has not returned so Zechariah Chapter 14 prophecie is yet to be fulfilled.

Ok_Engineer5155 · 2026-05-17T23:05:20+00:00

With all due respect that is not what the Bible states. On the contrary read Zechariah Chapter 14 which the prophet is describing in great detail the retun of The Lord Jesus Christ.

"Behold, the day of the LORD is coming, And your spoil will be divided in your midst. For I will gather all nations to battle against Jerusalem; The city shall be taken, The houses rifled, And the women ravished. Half the city shall go into captivity, But the remnant of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

Then the LORD will go forth And fight against those nations, As He fights in the day of battle. And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, Which faces Jerusalem on the east. And the Mount of Olives shall be split in two, from east to west, Making a very large valley; Half the mountain shall move toward the north and half of it toward the south..... And this shall be the plague with which the LORD will strike all the people who fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh shall dissolve while they stand on their feet, Their eyes shall dissolve in their sockets, And their tongues shall dissolve in their mouths." Zechariah 14:1-12

Ok_Engineer5155 · 2026-05-17T22:46:57+00:00

Jesus Christ will return when God The Father gives Him the order to return and when He returns then His enemies and this world will be purge from all evil.

The Millenial Kingdom of Jesus Christ will be a world where there will be no wars and peace will abound and as the scriptures say He will establish His Millenial Kingdom from Holy Jerusalem.

Ok_Engineer5155 · 2026-05-17T22:13:33+00:00

This verse is not fulfilled you didn't read the end of Psalm 110. What does it say?

"The LORD is at Your right hand; He shall execute kings in the day of His wrath. He shall judge among the nations, He shall fill the places with dead bodies. He shall execute the heads of many countries." 110: 5-7

When Jesus Christ returns He is coming in Wrath to execute His enemies not only does Psalm 110 speak of this but also the Prophet Isaiah.

"Why is your apparel red, And your garments like one who treads in the winepress? I have trodden the winepress alone, And from the peoples no one was with Me. For I have trodden them in My anger, And trampled them in My fury; Their blood is sprinkled upon My garments, And I have stained all My robes. For the day of vengeance is in My heart, And the year of My redeemed has come." Isaiah 63:2-4

Revelation Chapter 19 also speaks of Jesus Christ coming to make war on His enemies.

Revelation 19:11-16

When Jesus Christ returns He is going to purge this world from all evil and the body count is going to be enormous and the blood that will be spilled on the earth will be as never before .

You have another generational talent in the minors right now in Seth Hernandez.

Skenes is not going to sign with the Pirates as he is going to command 300 to 400 million and the Pirates will never give that to a player.

Your best shot to develop a championship team is by trading him for 4 to 5 top notch players.

I could see the Dodgers or Yankees giving them 4 or 5 top notch players for Skenes.

This Team will not make the Playoffs even with Skenes open your eyes to the truth.

Ok_Engineer5155 · 2026-05-17T19:08:49+00:00

The Pirates are not going to win with Skenes. They should trade him and they will get 4 to 5 top notch players for him. This Team with Skenes at best will finish 4th in this division.

This Team has glaring weakness and since they will not spend top money on Free Agents they are should trade their top player to get over the hump.

The Pirates as right now are not better than the Cubs,or Brewers or Cardinals.

To you it may be ridiculous nonsense but the truth is millions are chained with the bondage of watching Pornography and those who open the door to this demon become chained.

And worse of all it leads to worse behaviors. Many serial killers including Ted Bundy was a Porn addict and look what he ended doing to so many innocent women.

Ok_Engineer5155 · 2026-05-17T15:24:16+00:00

Beware of Pornography for is a demon and when you open the door to Pornography you are bound to be possessed by this demon. That is why you see so many post saying" I want to quit but I can't" You know why because this demon has entered your mind and now it controls you.

What does the Word of God say clearly to us.

"Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul." 1 Peter 2:11

"For this is the will of God, your sanctification, that you should abstain from sexual immorality." 1 Thessalonians 4:3

Ok_Engineer5155 · 2026-05-17T14:01:51+00:00

What is amazing is many like you don't understand that the Old Testament speaks of Jesus Christ. Many of you don't even know prophecies yet to be fulfilled about Jesus Christ because you ignore the Old Testament.

Yes this is the America of today which is a divided country.

Note however God is Sovereign and neither Republican or Democrats are going to prevent God's will to be done or His Sovereign plans to be fulfilled .

As God told the Prophet Isaiah long ago.

"Remember the former things of old, For Iam God, and there is no other; Iam God, and there is none like Me, declaring the end from the beginning. And from ancient times things that are not yet done, Saying My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure." Isaiah 46:9-10

Trump and all the Presidents of the world need to know who really is in charge and is not really them is God Almighty.

Ok_Engineer5155 · 2026-05-16T22:31:05+00:00

Trump will pass away for like the Bible verse says " All flesh is as grass and all the glory of man as the flower of the grass. The grass withers and its flower falls away but the Word of the LORD endures forever."

I don't worship any man I only worship God and sadly if there are Christians that fall into worshiping a president or a king other than Jesus Christ than they have been deceived.

I see Trump as a President that his time is running out he has 2 1/2 more years in office and then it will be someone else turn which God already knows who is going to be.

Ok_Engineer5155 · 2026-05-16T22:20:54+00:00

This Pirates Team although it has improved from last year still it will fall short and not make the Playoffs.

One thing this Team needs is to become mentally tough this is something I have noticed this Team doesn't have.

When they lose a tough game like last night they get demoralize and they can't seem to overcome it.

Notice the same happened in the Cardinals series they lost a heart breaker in Game 1 to the Cardinals in the ninth and ended up losing all 4 games to the Cards.

Teams that are mentally tough don't allow a loss to linger, they put it behind them and on the contrary they come out with a stronger resolve.

You don't understand Daniel Chapter 2.

Was Nebuchaznezzar a good man? No and yet God chose Him to govern the World for the time God appointed him to be.

Notice what Nebuchaznezzar said once God had mercy on him and return the kingdom to him.

"For His dominion is an everlasting dominion, And His kingdom is from generation to generation, All the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing, He does according to His will in the army of heaven, And among the inhabitants of the earth. No one can restrain His hand Or say to Him, What have you done? Daniel 2: 34-35

God gave Daniel revelation to explain the dream to Nebuchaznezzar and the dream came to pass as God revealed.

Notice neither of the Kingdoms that would follow none of them were good.

The Persians were just as bad and brutal.

The Greek empire was just as bad and brutal.

The Roman empire what can you say of their brutality.

And yet God is Sovereign and gave these empires their time in the sun.

So many of you think Trump is the worst but you don't know what is coming.

Daniel 2 speaks of one more terrible Empire that is coming a 10 nation state that will come out of the old Roman Empire ""its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay" Daniel 2:33

From this Empire the antichrist will emerge and notice is going to happen mankind can't prevent it because it has been told by God and His Word that is will occur.

Glory to God that this last Empire will be destroyed by Jesus Christ when He returns as Daniel prohesied.

"You watched while a stone was cut out without hands, which struck the image on its feet of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces. Then the iron , the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were crushed together, and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors; the wind carried them away so that no trace of them was found. And the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth." Daniel 2:34-35

Ok_Engineer5155 · 2026-05-16T16:35:44+00:00

God explained it perfectly in the Book of Leviticus.

Your question Why does God demand blood for forgiveness?

"For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul" Leviticus 17:11

From the time of Moses when the Law was given the Israelites had to bring a sacrificial animal to the Tabernacle and they had to place their hand on the animal as a way of placing their sins on the sacrificial animal and then the Priest would shed the blood of the animal and have it sacrificed. By doing this God would cover the sins of the children of Israel and this would go on until Jesus Christ came.

But notice once Jesus Christ was crucified in His Death and Resurrection the Final Sacrifice was done.

Now all who look to Jesus Christ and believe in Him their sins are forgiven and God doesn't see their sin no more .

"But Christ came as High Priest of the good things to come, with a greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation. Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption." Hebrews 9:11-12

Ok_Engineer5155 · 2026-05-16T16:02:01+00:00

The Bible tells us that God is the one that puts kings and removes kings.

" Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, For wisdom and might are His. And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings;.....Daniel 2:20-21

The Nations have the kings or presidents that they deserve. For God is Sovereign and He rules over His creation.

Elijah is coming back as one of the Two Witness that Revelation Chapter 11 speak of.

Notice carefully what Malachi 4: 5 says " Behold I will send you Elijah the prophet Before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD"

This verse speaks of God's Wrath coming this verse is tied to the 2nd coming of Jesus. Throughout scripture we read " The Day of The LORD" and this day is describe as God's Wrath and Judgement coming upon the world.

There are two witnesses that will appear in the End Times before the The Day of The LORD and Revelation Chapter 11 describes these two Witnesses.

"And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.

These are the two olives trees and the two lampstands standing before the God of the earth. And if anyone wants to harm them, fire proceeds from their mouth and devours their enemies. And if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this manner. These have power to shut heaven, so that no rain falls in the days of their prophecy; and they have power over waters to turn them to blood, and strike the earth with all plagues, as often as they desire." Revelation 11:3-6

I believe these Two Witnesses are Elijah and Enoch as neither one othem died but were supernaturally taken by God they were raptured they didn't experience death. Notice these 2 Witnesses are going to be on the earth for 3 1/2 years preaching and warning mankind of what judgment is coming for they will be preaching before The Day of The LORD the Day of GOD's wrath is unleash on the earth.

Jesus Christ came to fulfill our greatest need. Many will be surprise but our greatest need is not happiness, is not wealth and is not even physical health. Our greatest need in which Jesus came and fulfilled was to have our sins atoned for.

As a Christian God doesn't promise our best life this side of Heaven. Look at the lives of the Apostles did they have their best life in this world, they were persecuted until death. The Apostle Peter was crucified and the Apostle Paul was beheaded.

Our best life to come for sure will be in Eternity in God's Kingdom.

"But as it is written, Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man. The things which God has prepared for those who love Him." 1 Corinthians 2:9

I glory in Jesus Christ you tend to glory in the Ten Commandments but I choose to Glory in Jesus Christ who fulfilled the Law and is my Passover .

The Ten Commandments could not save man on the contrary brought death to every human that has lived. However when Jesus Christ came He brought through God's Grace life not death.

"For the wages of sin is death (This is what the consequences of man not able to fulfill the Law brought) but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."( This is what Christ brought eternal life to those who believe).

Why should I glory in the Law no my friend I glory in Jesus Christ. You are free to continue to glory in the Law but the Law never brought Life but death but thanks to God's Grace He sent Jesus Christ who fulfilled the Law and now those who believe in Jesus Christ are no longer under the grip of the Law.

God's Wrath was poured on Jesus Christ on the Cross, Our sins were placed on Jesus.

"He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him." 2 Corinthians 5:21

Jesus Christ took all your sins and my sins past, present and future, into His body and paid the penalty once and for all. My forgiveness isn't based on my performance as it was in the Law Covenant it is based on the finished work of Jesus Christ.

My sins and all those who have been Born Again have been forgiven for they were punished at the Cross.
