Why did God rest on the 7th day?

Why would God need to rest at all? He's GOD! Plus, the fact that he was tired proves that God requires energy, and that God can be deprived of energy.

Why would God make Himself bound to energy...and as a result, put limits on His abilities?

God can do whatever he wants. Leave Him alone. geez you people act like he needs reasons for everything. I'm not saying there was no reason, there may or may not have been one but please, He's God for cryin out loud. Genesis never said he needed rest anyway.
He is God. Just being the God of everything justifies him in everything.

he was overworked and mary was waitin at home while jesus cried all day. god decided to bring a lawsuit against creation for abusing its employees. he lost and was fired. so went home on the 7th day to FINALLY use the toilet and get a bath only to find out that he was constipated and had lost the lawsuit due to the oppositions lawer, LUCIFER{who has also stolen his laxative flowers from eden}. that pissed god off, he ordered his pet tyrrynosauras rex MICHEAL to bite a chunk out of the morning stars ass. micheal lost his ability to reproduce on this endeavour and was given wings and renamed an ANGEL to safegurad his dignity and given a godly pet of the year award which made him ARCHangel. in the battle that followed lucifer and his lawfirm were forced to relocate to a place called hell{formerly god's underwear closet} and lucifer swore revenge on the ticks that infested god's newly made creation/quilt forcing them to turn from the RIGHT path and bite mary in bed while lil jesus watches old lord beavus and lord butthead reruns on trinities tube trying to stay away from his sister in law, the antichrist.{lucifer still holds god's laxatives which is why god is so STIFF these days and }

...because after trying to understand that it's not possible to make the perfect woman, even He became exhausted, and couldn't understand women!

Sol Invictus had such a cool name. Has nothing to do with the topic, but oh well.

Maybe they Bible writers thought that was just a nice why of putting "now everything was done God had nothing to do, so he kind of just sat there thinking "maybe I shouldn't have put the tree that leads to sin down there. Oh well, it will make it far more interesting in the future."

Because to be honest the whole Old Testiment God didn't have much to do once he was finished other then lounge around and practice his grumpy face for when the humans ate the forbidden fruit.

Yeah.....after god made the perfect world he did an experiment....he put that tree there......Isn't that kind of like devious... 😈
What does that say about his personality?

I like the idea of him up there practicing a grumpy face and then thinking "Bloody Hell, what am I doing, they wont get to see my face anyway. Best just go with a Flood. Keep it simple"

But as to personality it is quite human. Like those people that would create the perfect city in Sim City (1,2,3,4) and then get a thrill out of releasing earthquakes on it amongst other disasters.

I still say that if he knew it was going to happen, and it would make him unhappy if it happened and he had the power to stop it happening he should have. Conceptual the Christian God is illogical.

Conceptual the Christian God is illogical

Just as the other mythical stories of gods.......It's baiting, just as in Greek mythology.

True, but at least they were more honest about it, more artistic. And dare I say more entertaining? Who wouldn't enjoy tales of Apollo and his sexual hijinks or the infighting between the Olympians.

And am I the only person who thinks of Hades as the Mr. Darcy of the Greek Pantheon?

It was the Sabbath (Saturday)....So, maybe it was the day set aside to go "Whooo, Ahhh." The church changed it to Sunday, after the Sun god.

Yeah, if God rested on Day 7, why did the church change it to Day 1? Or, why did Islam change it to Day 6? Certainly it could not be something as arbitrary as "The heck what God said! We wanna be different!"

In any event, we need one more monotheistic faith so we can have Monday off. I always liked Monday holidays, certainly better than Friday holidays. I mean, let's say you have Friday off; Sunday night rolls around and wham! It's work the next day. But if you have Monday off: well, not only would your Friday holiday already have passed, but come Sunday night: Great Caesar's Ghost! You still have another day off! Plus, the week ahead is only 4 days!

What a great life.

You could always become a Seventh Day Eventist. My father worked for some a long time ago, and got quite frustrated as they would be forever going off regardless of what needed to be done, especially on major trading days.

No way to run a business apparently.

He wasn't tired at all, he was setting an example. God said to Adam, "you will work 6 days and rest on the seventh, as I have worked 6 days and rested on the seventh..."

God had to rest to smoke a doobie
