“What is God?” http://gott-love-paz.com/lifes-big-questions-what-is-god/ Tue, 08 Jan 2019 03:17:54 +0000 http://gott-love-paz.com/?p=1067
Ques. What is God ?

Ans. God is Spirit; the Infinite Mind and the author of all things. God is the ever-present and ever-acting life of the world. Without God there would be nothing, for God is the life of all and governs all. All nature expresses God, and every thing on the earth, and every thing in the earth is a manifestation of God. God is the ruling power. He is above all, and, through all, and in all. He is the animating principle of all things. God is love ; an unlimited, unchangeable, and everlasting love. God is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent; the same yesterday, to-day, and forever. God is not a person, but Spirit.

Ques. Where is God ?

Ans. God is everywhere, for He is omnipresent. God fills all space darkness and the light are both alike to thee.”

Ques. What is man ?

Man is made in the image and likeness of God ; and, as God is Spirit, man must be spiritual, and not material. Man is the highest manifestation of God. Man is the offspring of God, and as such he partakes of the divine attributes of God.

Ques. What is the body?

Ans. The body is the outward expression of the soul. The soul made visible, existing only as a shadow, with no independent life of its own. It is our servant, given to us for the uses of the soul. We should care for it as we would for a horse, and not allow it to control us any more than we would allow the horse to control us. We are spirit ; we have a body and we have a soul. Not that we will be a spirit sometime, but that we are, Spirit now.

Ques. What is the soul ?

Ans. The soul is made up of our experiences and through the development of the intellect. This soul we can make mortal or immortal. By having spiritual thoughts and aspirations we make it immortal. We also have an animal soul that controls the involuntary actions of the body ; so if we should lose the soul’s reasoning powers, and forget all we ever knew, our bodies would be controlled wholly by the animal soul.

Ques. Is the soul in the body?

Ans. The soul permeates the whole body, but is not limited to it. The soul neither lives in the body nor from it, for they are one and the same, the body being only the visible expression of the soul.

Ques. What is the Infinite Mind ?

Ans. The mind which is unchangeable and pure is the Infinite Mind, or God.

Ques. What is the Finite Mind?

Ans. The finite mind is that mind which is capable of reasoning and is changeable. As this mind comes into the understanding of God it perceives spiritual things, and the more understanding we have the more perfect we become, thus fulfilling the Scripture which says, ” Be ye therefore perfect, even as your father which is in heaven is perfect.”

Ques. What is the Conscious Mind ?

Ans. That mind to which we are awake is the conscious mind.

Ques. What is the Unconscious Mind?

Ans. That mind to which we are not awake is the unconscious mind.

Ques. Is God in us ?

Ans. God is everywhere, and so must be in us. He is the ever-acting and all-pervading life of the universe.
