Greetings !

A few days ago, I explained that I would be restarting The God-Concept series.

This is due to some mis-takes that were made in the numbering of the titles.

As such, you can find the first post in the series Here


Is God an entity?

Modern day, Main-stream "Christianity", paints a picture (on a canvas dubbed "truth), of a monotheistic God who in actuality must be a deity as he is the father of "Jesus Christ", but, in their eyes, NOT the Father of ALL OF CREATION.

And yet, if God is painted to be monotheistic, and not the Father of all of creation, we must ask ourselves ; how is this even possible?".

Of course, it isn't.

the original, Gnostic teaching of Christianity, taught by the christed one known today as "Jesus" , as well as by Marry Magdalene and the other disciples, and later turned into a religion, does not paint the same picture as modern Christianity.

That is to say, the original teachings have been profusely and purposefully construed.

If God was an entity, then obviously we must ask; who created this entity?

Yet those who would propagate this view of God being a single, authoritarian entity have no answer to this question.

Those who interpret God in this way also push their belief that this DEITY , is an all powerful being with no holds barred who has the power to condemn those who do not accept his authority as higher than their own.

Yet this contradicts almost everything the bible talks about - or any "religious" , spiritual, or Gnostic text deemed to carry the word of God.

In-deed, it sounds more like the version of "God" portrayed in the Garden of Eden - the one who created Man in his image but is not the almighty one - Enlil, son of ANU; king of the Elohim.

"Enki was the serpent in the garden, who urged Adam and Eve to eat of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil (which was infinitely beneficial to their spiritual growth). It was Enlil, who drove them out of Edin, while Enki was there to clothe them. "

Enlil would want us to believe that he is the almighty one, and he has us believe this by the token of his power.

However, thought the same text known as the bible, and throughout various other religious and Gnostic texts,
God is portrayed as All loving, compassionate, benevolent, divine, omnipresent, omnipotent, and as non-judgmental.

He is defined as The Supreme Personality who possesses all oppulences, all strength, all fame, all beauty, all prowess, all knowledge, all possibility, all power and all renunciation.

In such ancient texts, God is not portrayed as an entity - but as a mystical, supernatural force.

So why do certain sects of Christianity portray God as an entity?

Why do certain people believe whole heatedly that their God is a physical being, staring down at them from the Heavens?

Is it possible that all of existence was created by an already created being?

The problem with portraying any ENTITY as the whole, complete, Exalted, omnipotent God is that it just isn't possible.

When ancient creeds talk about monotheism, they mean it literally in the sense that all is one - that all things come from the same source and thus ARE MADE UP OF the same source: thus all that is in its totality sums up the oneness of God.
Nothing more and nothing less - as there is nothing more and nothing less.

But an entity can never be ALL THINGS , as said entity would cease to be an individual entity.

An entity is an individual consciousness - a part of the oneness of all that is that constitutes what we call God (The All), but definitely not the SUM of all things.

God is the sum of all things because God has created, and is, all things.

Yet an entity is an individual being that thinks its own thoughts, feels its own feelings, dreams its own dreams, and lives its own life.

Because of this, an entity can be led astray, or can lead himself astray.

Yet God cannot be led astray, because God is The Most High Reality. The all attractive one - the highest possible path.

Webster dictionary defines God as: "the supreme or ultimate reality".

I tend to agree with this definition for various reasons.

God, as the designer, creator and ruling force of the universe, must be as by definition the supreme reality, and personality.

For God must have been in existence before the creation of all universes.

And yet, an entity could never be the supreme reality of all of existence, and can only betray themselves as such, for they were created by the same force which hath created all universes.

For God - as the supreme reality - must be of a higher power than any one individual life, and must - in order to be "one God" - a part of everything.

For if God was not a part of everything, if God was not residing IN everything, then God would not be a higher power....but only an entity.

Furthermore, If we look at God as the "creator of all" , then we have to ask the question: "who created God"?

Obviously, it is impossible for a physical entity to have created itself - for physicality and the universes would of had to first come into existence.

Thus, we can determine, with common sense and logic, that God is NOT an entity...

But what is He?

Stay tuned to this series to find out.


The next installment in this series will be titled;

The God Concept; Part Three - Is God an intelligent force that is present within all life?

In my opinion, God is in everyone. Everyone comes to find him in himself. Of course there are many scientific theories about the formation of the world

The all is in all and all is in the all

Interesting. I believe god is a concept we created inasmuch as it created us for god being the totality of reality compressed within a single thoughts confinement. Look forward to your future creations!

This is undoubtedly the most controversial issue of all. I feel that everyone has a personal opinion about it that will never be the same for everyone

This is one of the theories I support the most. I'll keep on reading your posts. Greetings!
