* Under Construction

A. This question goes to the heart of our very existence - which we will go into further detail later. For now we want to step cautiously into this obvious contradiction of definitions.
        This actually acts as a point of contention between those that believe in a creator, and those that don't. We exist as separate entities, then by definition we are separate from God. This then suggests that God is not All, and so He fails the criteria for the definition of God, and so He must not exist.
        As I have pointed out before, God is the master of paradoxes, and this is a big one. Actually the only paradox He had to truly struggle with was that of conceiving of the initial things. From there it was just variations upon the theme. Considering 'others' started out, as we can read in the Bible, with the creation of God's Son. The rest developed as helpers, which then grew into a hierarchy.

Q. An important point that needs to be considered here is; what is the underpinnings of God's creations?

A. God's first creation was a thought. As it it is said, "In the beginning was the word." From that sprung all things. God is All, and if He has any limitation it is that He can never be other than the All - but He can dream!
         Those first thoughts grew into bigger thoughts, which solidified into consistent features, with expected interactions. Building upon those a foundation of known items developed, which could then be used to build other items. Maintaining all of those connections, and creating a consistent logical dreamscape, would require a solid glue. The glue that holds all of it together is truth. This may be 'all in His imagination', as I am trying to suggest, but it is unshakable because everything is true to its nature. Harmony exists within all of God's kingdom, including our own realm - we are just blind to it.
        All of this we can say was/is created within God's imagination, because there can be nothing separate from God, or God is not God by definition. We exist though, so this seems to say that we are part of God's imaginative process. Now, considering just how complicated all of this is, we would have to see that a lot of thought has been put into this. We are not here though, as an idle dream that God is having, but a dream of much greater things.

        Now we will look into what makes this reality so unique Freewill, the greatest form of separation God has created so far.
