Talisker, all is not one, all is two- God and his creation.We are not God, or part of God, we were created by God, and are accountable to Him.The creator needed no “building material” to create, “All things came into being by His Word”.

I seek no argument. However it is inflammatory to start throwing around accusations of immorality for disagreeing with you. You insist on your perspective about this issue, and I have no mind to try to change it. But it doesn't mean I don't have a perspective that sits well with me, and I don't need to call you immoral for not sharing my perspective.

Specifically however, as for God "needing no building material" - then what is everything made out of? The question is like dividing by zero. That's why to me, the idea of everything being God makes perfect sense - I haven't the slightest problem or doubt about this - for the simple fact that God is infinite and omnipotent. And infinity and omnipotence means there is no other - no other existence, no other power - than God.

If you want to simply say that these things are beyond out comprehension, that God's Word created something outside of infinite God, and similiar things, then why use rational thought at all? You spend all sorts of effort trying to explain scripture or God in a way that makes sense to people, and then, when you feel like it, throw it all to the wind and declare "because you say so."

Frankly, if your argument served to praise God in a way I could understand, I might be swayed. But to declare something ouside of God, to me, is a diminishment of the concept of God's infinitude, and I can't accept that. For me, God's infinitude means All.
