speaking the universe into existence No more difficult, and no less difficult. Such a God would exist with no effect and no knowledge, as if we were but a dream, or the God was. TP

"God created the dynamics of time which to Him was no more difficult than speaking the universe into existence. He is not the observer he is the upholder!" How do you know so well the mind of God that you know what is easy or difficult for Him. If man was created in His image then God is as much an observer as we are. You don't follow Christ, you are at the head of a funeral procession that began for you at birth. I could hire you to do a job, I could write down on a piece of paper your job description, I could write a treatise covering every nuance of your job, but I can't make you think. Now go put on your hair shirt and commence flogging.

He is not the observer he is the upholder! That's almost Hindu , Chris ....you do not want to disuss other religious concepts as you asked the thread before? We didn't know you were a Hindu ? * Except I would think that you could add "He" is also the Observer and Destroyer and the "Upholder" as well. All three simultaneously....well beyond Human conception, completely. How many times one man can get things so narrowed and contradicted , and confused in every statement he makes , is one of the penultimate mysterys to me . But we know how you like to speak for "Him" , every chance you can, and always get it right . <VBG> In human terms , the Lord God created everything and it's opposite---joy and sorrow, birth and death, pleasure and pain. All things are but a movement of the Divine Dance. There is no Satan , no evil , no eternal Hell. All things sentient and insentient creation are part of this that is divine. Like the touch in the wind , like the sweetness of the sugarcane, like the sweet butter in milk, like the juice in the fruit,, like the fragrance in the flowers , God is everywhere pervading all things. regards ;-) Mars
