He is the Alpha and Omega. Creator of the Universe, made everything in 6 days. Mankind sins, yet He still loves them. Time and time again, Mankind sins, yet He loves them. I wonder, does He ever feel lonely. If we were made by His image, and if we were watching the planet like He does, all alone, does He feel alone, does anyone even understand what His feeling??? Let me know your thoughts on this one. Sometimes, I feel like we take our problems to Him, yet we don’t fully understand how His feeling about it all.

Please and Thank you. And God Bless

No.

We can say that Jesus Christ, while being human, could feel many such similar feelings.

But not God as such, in His eternal blessed state of being.

Well, in considering that he came in the Flesh, im certain the Lord knows what its like to feel such.
Especially for those who have suffered.

Blessings always.

I'm sure that He does especially for those that have strayed away from Him.

Great question. Its one of those mysteries made know that we can believe by faith but surpasses all human understanding. Likened to hidden manna (what is it) . The unseen glory of God who is not a man as us.... called the face of God would seem to be the goal .

We know he has no needs but satisfies all and in our new incorruptible bodies the former things will not be remembered or ever come to mind. But why the display beforehand.? It’s like show and tell.

We understand that he who has no needs but satifies all was not lonely.

Act 17:25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;

One of His attributes as a name is Jealous. Seeing he made all things and owns all things, it fits who he is. Knowing he is of one mind and always does whatsoever his soul pleases. His love is not jealous but rather it performs the first work of Love .....Love is patent, therefore the second aspect of his love working in us is, Love is kind ....because of his long suffering patience it can be kind, so on so forth.

His love that is conditioned by His interpretation of 1 Corinthian 13 never fails but is never without the condition he has given to us as his law of love.

You could say he has bragging rights.

In the Exodus account a parable of our entering the eternal heaven, the Promised Land. looking at it, it would seem the purpose was to show us a way of identifying those who believe not the prophecies as the word of God . The law of signs that show the work of those who rebel against the word of God.

So he sent those rebels a sign as a wonder to show those who hearts and not softened by the word of God but remained hard. Seeing it is God who works in us to both will and do his good pleasure as his mercy and grace working together does soften our hearts. (imputed righteousness) .

Thou shalt speak all that I command thee: and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he send the children of Israel out of his land. And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
But Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, that I may lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth mine armies, and my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments. And "the Egyptians" shall know that I am the LORD, when I stretch forth mine hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them.Exo 7:2

Moses looked to see his face (the hidden glory) but know man can . God is not a man as us. Again, He makes our hearts soft by applying His mercy and grace.

Its why he desires we show him off to the world bringing the good news like those led out of Egypt .

How could God ever be alone? Man will know what it is to be alone for all of eternity if he rejects the Savior.

The saint is never alone.

Jealous for our attention, yes. Alone, no..

He's not alone. Surrounded by many of His creations and His son at His right hand.

He never feels alone - read this



Revelation 4:2-8 NKJV
[2] Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne set in heaven,
and One sat on the throne. [3] And He who sat there was like a jasper
and a sardius stone in appearance; and there was a rainbow around the throne,
in appearance like an emerald.

[4] Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones I saw
twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white robes; and they had crowns of
gold on their heads. [5] And from the throne proceeded lightnings,
thunderings, and voices. Seven lamps of fire were burning before the throne,
which are the seven Spirits of God.

[6] Before the throne there was a sea of glass, like crystal. And in the midst
of the throne, and around the throne, were four living creatures full of eyes
in front and in back. [7] The first living creature was like a lion, the second
living creature like a calf, the third living creature had a face like a man,
and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle.

[8] The four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around
and within. And they do not rest day or night, saying: "Holy, holy, holy, Lord
God Almighty, Who was and is and is to come!"



However Jesus does know what it is like to feel utterly abandoned and alone.


Matthew 27:45-46 NKJV
[45] Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour there was darkness over all
the land. [46] And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice,
saying, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" that is, "My God, My God, why have You
forsaken Me?"

No - He is never lonely because He has me.

Oh come on preacher you know what she meant. Why just why?
No, I don't know what she meant which is why I asked, and the question is important Biblically.

Don't malign me or my question with condescension. Thanks.

I think He created people not because He was lonely, but because He is pure love and love seeks to give.

I believe that you are absolutely correct. In the book of John it says that God is Love. I don't see how that's possible unless there are those that God created to love.

God obviously created us to reveal himself and his glory to his creation.

Saying God isn't lonely "because he has me?" Well. Hmmmm. I mean. Wow. Unreal.

So God wasn't love before he created? He became love? :confused:

God has existed for ever... So he existed forever before He created all existence apart from Himself...

So if God suffered from loneliness he would have been suffering from it forever...

I doubt that God ever suffered loneliness.. He is probably self sufficient within Himself, Without any need.. But he does have a will which He created creation to play it's part in the bringing about of His will..

No.... "For thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created" (Revelation 4:11). So apparently we were created for His good pleasure, not because He was lonely... jmo
