For this if we try to answer keeping in mind the worldly things we may say that we were born to win, ie ) we were born to study , we were born to play , we were born to get a job. etc. But Looking the same from a Divine aspect God has created each one of us for a specific purpose.

We are here to expand the territory of God. In other words. our Aim must be telling the world about God and Christ so that the whole world will realize that there is a life after this, and we are in this world to get prepared for that Life.

Our hearts Cry must be to see the nations worship the living God.So we must work for it and that is why we are born

theres no point in life

Then why do you continue living if there's no point to life? Why try to save lives? Why try to even figure out life? Why even care about science? Why...?

I believe in science, life is just random.

Then why does history repeat itself? Then why is science capable of seeing patterns in life? Then why can science make sense of life? You sure science was the one that said life is random?

91.3% of people lied when answering this poll. The question asks:

"Why were we Born?" Does it have a Divine Answer?
Of course, no-one knows.

He was referring to people's individual choices and not the make-up of the world. History repeats itself because people are generally incapable of learning from other's mistakes. It's human nature.

You, my friend, must be careful. You are an inch away from religious extremism, an inch better than the 9/11 and 7/7 bombers.

From what I can see, to wreck everything. Destory the place we have come from. There is no divine meaning, only destruction. According to the typical human.


That is really sad if you think the only reason we were created is to destroy. It may be true but it just puts such a cold and depressing outlook on life that I like not to think about that. If this were true there would be no drive for any of us to live if we know all we were "designed for" is to destroy and we all might as well end our lives right now. Not exactly the prettiest picture.

Why are we here? When the Father created Adam and Eve, His plan from the very beginning was for them to have dominion over all things. He created man in His image:
QUOTE
“So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him, male and female He created them” (Gen. 1:27)
God blessed them and told them in Genesis 1:28:
QUOTE
“Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.”


The Holy Father made everything for man. There was no curse on man or upon creation. Man could live without sweating it out, without working his bones to death. His every need was abundantly provided:
QUOTE
“Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to everything that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so” (Gen. 1:29,30)
Furthermore, Adam was the image of God unseen. Man was given God's delegated authority. He was crowned with glory and honor. The Father made him king over all of His creation and the whole earth was man’s kingdom. Until the first king fell into the pit of disobedience --- which thwarted God’s original plan for man.
God scooped dust from the earth, and formed man,
QUOTE
“And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul” (Gen. 2:7).
The life inside Adam was the soul that came from God. Before the soul came in, Adam had a body. But it was not yet complete. God wanted to put His spirit within that body.

There is only one thing that is destined in ones life and that is death. We are born to die, that's the truth. There are many of us that do not grow old, there are many of us that can not stay young (my mother says otherwise). If one knew their sole purpose in life, there would be no point in living it. there doesn't have to be religion attached to everything. It's quite simple. When one is setting off to do a proof and they accidentally stumble upon the solution, there is no point in doing it as it is already known. Philosophical indeed.

This topic really seems like one of those religious debate topics to me. Everyone who is on the side of religion will give an answer for life, and most of the others will say there is no divine answer.

I disagree that we were born to die, because I think we do have a purpose as human beings, and that is to continue the species. Our purpose in life is to reproduce. We're the most complex species on the planet, but if you looked at a lot of insects such as the praying mantis. After they mate the female will bite off the head of the male. With spiders the male is sometimes killed for food for their young. Other spiders simply die because they have no purpose in life anymore. We are the same as our purpose is to reproduce. Thankfully we have a lot of other things to live for.
