What is the Purpose of Human Existence?

High Priestess
excerpt from Mission Responsible by Michael Tolch
Be a part of an institution
Lead the way in a revoloution
Wear a wig and a permanent smile
Be a part of a celebration
Make the plans or the cancelleation
Quick descisions
Let's change our minds

Well, there's people out there
But, it's people we are
We're just faces from different places
Drinkin juice from mason jars

Be a father of no realation
Or be a symbol for procreation
Strike a match and theres sure to be fire
Be a part of your situation
Blame yourself for your frustration
Dig a hole till you lose your desire

Well, there's people out there
But it's people we are
We're just names playing different games
Drinking coke and eating candy bars

I'm on a mission responsible
Well, i'm finding anything's possible

Be a part of your own descision
See your future with tunnel vision
Take a chance if you want to survive
You do want to survive, don't you?
Be the talk of a conversation
Your a superstar out of isolation
Get the keys
It's your turn to drive

Well, there's people out there
And it's people we are
We're just voices with different choices
Smokin dope and rockin' out on guitars

I see. Is the purpose you suggest extended to Hindu people?

The purpose of human existence is to bash homosexuals and restrict our kid's knowledge of human sexuality to abstinence only. By doing so we become happy and self fulfilled.

Granted, Spirit, I have peculiar tastes. I can only say that my tastes seem to be shared by Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, James Dobson, and millions of their followers. Next thing you know, you'll be telling me to get a life.

No, I love those guys, but I'm not like them either.

It is extended to all people. God wants all people to praise Him. Am I helping? I feel like I am being vague.

"Nevertheless there was a space granted unto man in which he might repent; therefore this life became a probationary state; a time to prepare to meet God; a time to prepare for that endless state which has been spoken of by us, which is after the resurrection of the dead."

"And Jehovah God proceeded to take the man and settle him in the garden of Eden to cultivate it and to take care of it."—GENESIS 2:15.




IT wasthe Creator’s original purpose, and it still is his purpose, that obedient humans enjoy never-aging life,iin a paradise!—Genesis 2:8; compare Luke 23:42, 43

But there are new heavens and a new earth that we are awaiting according to his promise, and in these righteousness is to dwell)2 peter 3;13)

And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.(revelation 21;4)so the purpose of human existence is to live forever on a paradise earth and it will be acomplished

so my(Jehovahs) word that goes forth from my mouth will prove to be. It will not return to me without results, but it will certainly do that in which I have delighted, and it will have certain success in that for which I have sent it(isaiah 55;11)wow what a wonderful purpose

You know what may, it's amazing how closely our beliefs match up.
I have a question for you though. I thought Jews didn't believe in the New Testament. Are you quoting Revelation to prove it to us or do you believe it's true?

JW in her religion slot means Jehovahs Witness, not Jew. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that to be the case. I believe you misread it.

I think people think they have a purpose in life because they need to feel important and differnet they everyone else. I say just live it up while you can.

I was amazed to read about the Biblical story of Adam and Eva in the Vedic literature. They are called Adama and Havyavati. So, basically first they were pure souls and disobeying God's command they became impure.
The even bigger surprise I read was that theologians in Islam explain this story as implying to all of us. IOW we are all here in the material world because we disobeyed the Supreme Lord in the spiritual world.
Conclusively, the purpose of life or human existence would be that we surrender to God's desire, regain our purity, attain love of God and thus Go back, back to Godhead. I call Him Krishna.

Master Vigil he wrote:

My question is in which language was JW written. If it was written in Hebrew then the second letter W cannot stand for the English word witness.
I am just asking a question.
