If one has to continually praise God, that must mean that He has time to spend accepting praise from millions of people. That also implies that He is not complete if He needs to accept that activity from human.
God is not bound by time, nor does he need humans to praise him. He created humans for them to enjoy God. Praising God is an activity that comes as a result of enjoying God.
@@darz3829 I’m not sure if by evidence you mean literal empirical evidence but they were just meant to be theological and philosophical arguments, much like your initial comments were arguments. If you were to actually trace back where this line of thinking comes from I suspect you’d find C.S. Lewis, Pascal, Descartes, and Luther in the mix. As for humans praising God even an atheistic anthropologist would recognize that religious worship (praise) is a uniquely human activity.
@@mnunley010 You wrote "God does(n't) need humans to praise him" Well then, I've got news for you. On You Tube are videos of what is called "Passion" conventions. In those you'll see tens of thousands of believers praising, worshiping and dancing. So, as you say, if God doesn't need them to do this, there are scores of people wasting their time. You also write "He created humans for them to enjoy God" Yes, there's nothing we humans like better than to plead with an invisible being who promises everything but never delivers, and ignores most human's desperate needs. We all enjoy that. "Praising God is an activity that comes as a result of enjoying God." See the two above statements. '"...religious worship (praise) is a uniquely human activity." No - I thought all the animals and snakes participated in that. Or at least the one-celled amoebas did. "by evidence you mean literal empirical evidence" I will expand on this since you brought it up. The bible is filled with "miracles" wrought by God (and Jesus). I am not a believer - I need some proof. Now since God already performed many "miracles" in the bible, He shouldn't have a problem just repeating, say, one of those for modern audiences. Nothing personal - I'd be happy if He helped those in need -- children with cancer, starvation, stopping war, predicting natural disasters to prevent deaths, etc, anything one of those.
Thank you for the large text. Videos are hard to see at our church.

@@mnunley010 And where is the evidence of your statements? (and don't use the bible - too many problems)
