1) The Presence of A Mighty King is Always Overkill, therefore His Servants have work!

2) To Do Work is good, glorious and good for the Worker!

Therefore God, did not keep Good to Himself, but Spread it to all!

Notice how I cancelled out some words in your post because they have no Biblical backing. Concerning the highlighted word, who ever said that God “needed” anybody to do his bidding? Aren’t angels and humans too rather the ones who rely on God since he is the Source of Life? Psalm 36:9, Acts 17:28

No because of several reasons littered across the Bible. God resides in one place which are the spiritual heavens therefore he is not “omnipresent”. Deuteronomy 26:15, Psalm 115:16

As for the word “omniscient”, the meaning has been overly exaggerated to mean that God knows everything about everything before it happens and so on. Meanwhile at times, God has to investigate for himself whether allegations laid against someone or some people are true or not as he did in the case of Sodom and Gomorrah(Genesis 18:21) that means that nothing is hidden from him if he chooses to investigate and not that he’s “omniscient”. Hebrews 4:13

Back to the topic on ground, who ever said that God “needed” anybody? Whether angels or humans? Did the Bible specify this anywhere?

Do you want their god to feel lonely?

If there's no Angel to praise and massage its ego, don't you know the god will die? grin

First of all, you need to be able to comprehend the difference between a "need' and a "want", so the "need" in your sentence ought to be "want", because God doesn't need angels to do so for Him but wants that.

Secondly, the question is quite uncalled for because what God does is no different from what powerful people do. They delegate minor tasks!

The only time they usually do things themselves is when it's a major task which requires their own input.

There's also the aspect of respect, as delegating tasks helps to minimize the chances of unwarranted abuse.

That's one of the reason God hardly reveals Himself to men, because when He's done that unreservedly, men have often abused that privilege.

God bless.

The truth is that nobody really knows why that is why when I get to heaven I will ask him because their are lot of questions I have.

May God give me the strength to keep following him.
Re: PARADOX: If God Is All Powerful And Omnipresent Then Why Does He Need Angels ??? by Kayberg: 11:39am On Apr 02, 2021
GOD doesn't need angels, He created angels for Himself. And for His pleasure they are, and were created.

And He rules over them all just as a powerful king has soldiers, servants, guards, subjects and all.

A king has limitations. A king cannot be everywhere at thesame time, a king does know everything thats why they is servants to assist him but that does not apply to God because he is different from a king.

Wrong!

It is the Office and Job of A King is To Be Everywhere And Know Everything that occurs within His Territory, For He is Already Able to Respond (Response-Able) and Answerable for Everything that happens within His Hand (Dominion), Exactly as God is!

If God is omniscient then it means he knows everything already before they happen, then freewill and judgement of sin based on freewill makes no sense in that context.
Is there really proof in the bible that God is omniscient? Or is it just because the psalmist said he knows the numbering of the hairs in our head and stuff like that? I don't think there's real proof of God's omniscience.

Back to the topic on ground, who ever said that Gohether angeans? Did the Bible specify this anywhere?

they are many instances in the bible where God uses angels to do tasks for him and sometimes he does them by himself. undecided e.g God sent angel gabriel to speak to mary and in another scenerio he came down to speak to samuel himself.
Ok lets get this straight why does god have angels in the first place ??

I think so based on the evidence to me, but if you have counter evidence to that, I am willing to accept.
If God knows everything, then Judgement of sin to me would be nothing but a scam.

There is a difference between fore-know and can know!

God, Also Does, "Surprise me" as He Did with Adam to wit- "TO SEE what he shall call them" Genesis 2:19.

Same thing in Genesis 6:5 and in Sodom/Gomorrah when He said "I Go Down now AND SEE whether THEY HAVE DONE ALTOGETHER according to the cry of it"!

God can fore-know when He Wants to but He Adopts the attitude of "Surprise Me"!

So how often do you think God does the "Surprise Me" ?
In my opinion, I think it's more accurate to say God is all wise, rather than to say he is all knowing.

So to agree with you, God's foreknowledge of events would then be based on his wisdom, which means he knows the beginning from the end only generally because of his wisdom and allround planning that affects events generally. So he knows what he would do and he knows he would succeed in the end.

However it is possible he doesn't always know every single detail of our future actions, he can only wisely predict them accurately and create countermeasures.
