what is the purpose of life [discuss]
-
To love your neighbour as yourself...

I think dave is looking for personal opinions, not cliche statements.Originally posted by soulwinner:To love your neighbour as yourself... -
Since i have some free time, i will try to answer this
1. Philosophically, my answer will be to make choices
2. My faith would tell me to serve God and to be a beacon of light that shines for him
3. My personal purpose is to achieve something (dunno what yet) that will impact others and make a difference in their lives (I know its cliche)
If u ask, why there's 3 separate categories? it's because it's difficult for me to synthesis intellect, faith and personal conviction together. At different situations, people tend to adopt different personas, and sometimes you tend to compartmentalise different facets of your life -
I appreciate all your contributions.

to be frank, according to the scripture, the best thing tat can happened to a christian is to suddenly die and go to heaven
He don't need to do any work or convert any people or moltivate any people or get tortured in earth and he can just happily enjoy after tat
For a non believer, the purpose of life is to be happy. And there is nothing worse than death since it means the end of everything -
eat to live, live to eat

Genesis 1:26: "Then God said, 'Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them ruleover the fish of the sea and the birds of the air..." 28 "God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number, fill the earth and subsue it. Rule over the fish...."
We were made to rule, or manage the world, that is the purpose why God created human being. The purpose of our life should therefore be good managesr of the earth, or whatever that were given to us.
Unfortunately, men failed miserably in this area particularly, the polluted rivers, the endangered species, the deforestation in many continents, ..... While one single life cannot change that, everybody is contributing to that one way or another, the damage of the environment, wastage of resources....
I see the purpose of my life is to properly manage everything that God has provided to me. Use my money wisely, do my job diligently, bring up my children properly, contribute to the overall well being of the environment as much as possible ...... if my had done my best in doing all that, my life will be very happy.
Who define your purpose in life? if you define it, then live within your means, if you allow God to define it, ask God to provide for you to live an abundant life.
For in the end, "From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked." Luke 12:48. -
To learn more things. And when you find the truth, it will set you free

The purpose of life is to worship God and have a relationship with Him. He created us for this purpose. We live in Him and we have our being in Him. When we leave God, we leave our original purpose and descended into hell and chaos. Our life comes from Him and when we are in Him, we have abundant life. We are the branches and He is the vine and we cannot do without Him for He gives life. Once we leave God we are spiritually dead and leads to physical death. But how many can stay close to Him if not by His grace and mercy? We are sinners thru and thru and thank God we are saved by Jesus' precious blood or we are destined for hell.
