text: why does god just sit around and watch us like a tv?   people have this erroneous idea that god is some old white haired bearded man sitting in a rocking chair with nothing better to do than watch us like a hawk.  #1. god is not a man and therefore does not think, act or do like humans do - and he never ages. he is not 10, 20 or 30 - he is spirit and is ageless. #2. angels are assigned to us and they keep a record of everything that goes on around us - who we deliberately offend and who offends us - if we sinned or didn't sin - and so on. #3. god sees to it the universe is kept in working order as well as all life (even if life exists elsewhere - he would have created it and watches over it).  if we are not fitting for the new world to come - he doesn't want us there. the new heavens and new earth already created and prepared awaits those who rise above his and her sinful desires, and shows themselves trustworthy and responsible.  he gave man another chance - and through jesus is the only way to god and to salvation from the death and eternal punishment sin brings.
