What are God's responsibilities?

[mrveggieman]

I saw this thread on another website and wanted to get P&R's spin on it. Regardless of what you want to call God or what you believe his true holy book to be they all have one thing in common. They all tell man what he is required to do for God and what the punishment is for disobeying God's laws. This is not a thread on what's God's laws are or what they should be but rather a thread on if we do follow God's laws what is his responsiblities to his followers. All thoughts and opinions are welcome. Thanks.

If I believed in a god I would feel that he has great responsibility to all of his followers. To take it a step further I would feel he that if he was "the creator" he'd have responsibilities to all of his creations to some degree regardless of what they believed especially if his existence was ambiguous.

One "responsibility". Eternal life in Heaven after mortal death.

Who is he obligated to give that to? Just his followers? With so much misinformation about what exactly does God want us to do for him how can we be sure?

What misinformation? Some left-wing nutjob barking out his erroneous interpretation of what the Bible means is not misinformation, it is false prophecy at best.

If any Christian seeks guidance he needs only to open the Bible.

So again how can we be sure that Christanity is the right way. How can we be 100% that Zeus is not our God?

I don't see how that is relevant to the original question.

Do you ever wonder what this eternal life will be like to experience?

When I used the term God I was not just referring to the christian version of God. Why does everyone assume when one makes a reference to God the are referring to a christian god. Who gave christians an exclusive contract with God?

[duane1969]

God is the Christian deity. A god is a general term. No one gave Christians and exclusive right to a name, it is just how you use it.
