What is God?

I used the term "What" instead of "Who" in the heading because I don't believe that God has a sex. Call God whatever sex you wish as it really doesn't matter. What follows is my belief as to what God is. Understand that it may not be yours, and that's fine too.

God is energy. Everything is energy - there is nothing that is not energy. Energy surrounds us, is in us, is us. Energy is without time - it has always existed and will always exist. Energy is a recording medium - it has intelligence. Energy is the primal creative force of All That Is.

As creators of our own Universe we define what we understand God to be. In my Universe God is an all loving spiritual energy which can be best described by the word "Love". Think of any positive word you like and they are all a definition of love. We are all "servants" of this energy called God in some way.

This energy is so powerful that even bad situations are turned for the good. We strengthen our relationship to this energy by our attention to it. Living a God centred life, that is, focusing on a positive God centred outcome and not a "me" centred outcome. All is well.

A Difference of Degree

God, then, is this Infinite Spirit which fills all the universe with Himself alone, so that all is from Him and in Him, and there is nothing that is outside. Indeed and in truth, then, in Him we live and move and have our being. He is the life of our life, our very life itself. We have received, we are continually receiving our life from Him. We are partakers of the life of God; and though we differ from Him in that we are individualized spirits, while He is the Spirit including us as well as all else beside, yet in essence the life of God and the life of man are identically the same, and so are one. They differ not in essence, in quality; they differ in degree.

God, Our Father

We can look to God as our Father. We can have a personal sense of His love for us and His interest in us, for He is concerned about us as a father is concerned for his children . . . . Incredible as it may seem, God wants our companionship. He wants to have us close to Him. He wants to be a father to us, to shield us, to protect us, to counsel us, and to guide us in our way through life.

Billy Graham

Love is God Actualising

The human being is a creation of love. What was created in love can only live in love (Love is God).

There is no life without love.

Bruno Groening

A Habit of Conversing

That in order to form a habit of conversing with GOD continually, and referring all we do to Him; we must at first apply to Him with some diligence: but that after a little care we should find His love inwardly excite us to it without any difficulty.

The Practice of the presence of God the best rule of a holy life - being conversations and letters of Brother Lawrence.

If You Believe These Things

Christ said, "God is a Spirit, obey Him in spirit and in truth." (John 4:23,24). God is Absolute Love, Truth, Justice, Goodness and Beauty. If you believe these things are real, whether you accomplish them or not, you believe in God.

Henry Makow - Illuminati

God's Judgement

There is no judgement in what you call the afterlife. You will not even be allowed to judge yourself (for you would surely give yourself a low score, given how judgemental and unforgiving you are with yourself in this life).

No, there is no accounting, no one giving "thumbs-up" or "thumbs-down". Only humans are judgemental, and because you are, you assume that I must be. Yet I am not - and that is a great truth that you cannot accept.
