Can God love anything that is intrinsically worthless?

Soma,
STOP THINKING.

I've said it many times before....you think too much.

Perhaps you meant for Soma to START THINKING, that he doesn't think enough!! :D :wink:

Your right.

That is the best advice I think I have heard here.

I get panic attacks sometimes because I worry too much about little details that most people would never even consider.

I dont know why it is? Genetic maybe? lol.....

Christianity only makes those who are not Christians feel degraded as they would rather live in the darkness of their own evil than to step into the light that God has given each of us. In light of the backdrop of God's righteousness, man's righteousness is as filthy rags. Until man abides in the Savior Jesus Christ, he is worthless and condemned to pass into eternity apart from God almighty.

To be without Jesus Christ in ones life, one is intrinsically worthless, and will be burned like wood, hay, and stubble.

I agree

The question is "Is there anything intrinsically worthless"? From God's perspective, perhaps everything is worthless because He has unlimited creative power. Nothing is rare....Nothing has any value....

Of course, it seems a reasonable assumption to me that God holds some sort of love or some form of attachment to His created things because things exist in the first place.

Don't forget to check your brains at the church door along with your hat and coat next time! :-D

What a worthless piece of tissue God put up there. Why can't it be removed like the appendix?

Let me put it like this, in comparison to God we are nothing. But we are whorth something to God, we are His prize creation. He even sent His Son to die for us on the cross.

Psalm 8:3-6 (King James Version)

3When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

4What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

5For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

6Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:

And another thing, 1 Corinthians 6:2-3 says that we shall judge the world and angels. And this and many more scriptures tells me that we matter a great deal to God. But again we compared to God's intrinsic transcendent glory. We are nothing. Now I have been using the word intrinsic for a very long time to describe God. Can't anyone be in god's place, or belong there, that is what makes Him intrinsic. But are we intrinsically worthless ? I don't think so because, we did not become a bunch of sinners until the Fall. But God sent His Son, to die for us. So we are whorth a great deal to Him. For he loves us.

lol.

The Church has never been an advocate of free thought has it?

Maybe at baptisms they should give you a lobotomy so you will never "backslide" into unbelief of popular doctrine. :angel:

Hey that's an idea. Those a Christian Churches can get a lobotomy and those portions of brains can be implanted into all of the New Age folks, and we can all be equal in understanding!!! :D

Do we have worth as children of God? Our adequacy(worth) comes from God, not from ourselves.
