Why Does God Need So Much Praise?

[SteveII]

 
That is not what you said. From the OP: 



So wherever you get your data to draw your conclusions about the nature/character of God, it is not correct. If you want to know more about praising God, start here: https://www.guideposts.org/faith-in-dail...-of-praise

How is what I said in this post different from what I said in the op?  Are you saying that the church and the bible itself do not present god as a violently jealous deity who craves praise and worship?  You have left yourself with the task of convincing the majority of readers that they don’t know what they were reading.

For it is written: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate."

An appeal to the context does not change the meaning of this verse.
In the 24th chapter of 2 Samuel god got angry and killed 70,000 men because David held a census to see how many fighting men they had. Christian apologist explain that the reason god was angry was because by holding the census, David betrayed a lack of faith in god.  In other words god wanted the glory for himself and not for the number of men David had.

first, the 1 Cor verse has nothing to do with what you are talking about and your insistence not to use the context to find the meaning is confusing at the least. 

2 Samuel 24: You are basically correct in your facts. The sin was not the counting, it was the condition of David's heart (the leader of God's chosen people) and David knew it as soon as he did it. Was the glory properly Gods?
