Why Did God Create Man?
Isaiah 54:7-8: "For a brief moment I deserted you, but with great compassion I will gather you. In overflowing anger for a moment I hid my face from you, but with everlasting love I will have compassion on you, says the Lord, your Redeemer."
Jeremiah 3:12: "I will not be angry forever."
Psalm 30:5: "For His anger is but for a moment, and His favor is for a lifetime."
Psalm 103:9-10: "He will not always chide, nor will He keep His anger forever, He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities."
" O death, where are your plagues? O Sheol, where is your sing?" Hosea 13.14
Why did God create mankind? Temporal, individual and national judgment does not equal endless destruction or endless torture.

Because He wanted a Friend.
Any other answer you get from this thread is pure bologna.

So He wanted to expand the family of God? Did He knowingly create billions for damnation, so He could have a few (by comparison) friends?

He created man because it pleased Him to do so.
It really is that simple.

Now Daniel, you never have refused a discussion before to my knowledge. But another day is fine, as I am about to go to bed.

The real question is why did he create man as a sleepy soul? Could we not be wide awake and never grow weary?

Did He have man's interest or wellbeing, in mind at all?

God's providential care is active in all creation.

Well, just think of all the trouble man would get into if he did not have to sleep? On second thought never mind.
