I am with you in thinking that God is bigger than the universe. And I don't think His real name if He has one, is God. Nobody knows, no one, alive for sure, has seen Him. I believe that God is a 'Him' only because by tradition and mythology have made the most powerful gods be male. But since He is so much more powerful and understanding than I am, or anyone else that I know, I have to revere Him and hold Him in awe. I have other beliefs too, because after a lot of study and a REAL vision I have to be. I have to be. But you should have heard me before that, it was scary even to Mrs. Jim. <br />..Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02982249173214655060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313195297275159246.post-31828001711689248532015-04-22T14:49:45.267+10:002015-04-22T14:49:45.267+10:00God, the universe, a higher power is more than our...God, the universe, a higher power is more than our limited language can speak.

The term "Universe," when it's used this way, seems to me to imply all of creation, but without the moral element that is inevitable when the term "God" is used. Of course others may not agree, either on the nature of God, or of morality, or how the two are related. A never ending source of discussion and contemplation. Very interesting and well done.<br />Steve K.Steve Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04818671944215117618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313195297275159246.post-61510782660817621052015-04-22T06:41:22.305+10:002015-04-22T06:41:22.305+10:00That's no surprise to me, Sherry. :)That's no surprise to me, Sherry. :)Rosemary Nissen-Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05913841031559499568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313195297275159246.post-83009030045260751782015-04-22T06:38:19.492+10:002015-04-22T06:38:19.492+10:00I like Great Mystery — and I love and adore that l...I like Great Mystery — and I love and adore that line you quote!Rosemary Nissen-Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05913841031559499568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313195297275159246.post-20620726074547196762015-04-22T06:37:12.415+10:002015-04-22T06:37:12.415+10:00Oddly enough for a little ole Pagan, the utterance...Oddly enough for a little ole Pagan, the utterances of atheists often make far more sense to me than things believers say.Rosemary Nissen-Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05913841031559499568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313195297275159246.post-1962268590986596062015-04-22T06:08:49.419+10:002015-04-22T06:08:49.419+10:00I never get into discussions about the existence o...I never get into discussions about the existence of God - each to his own belief, I say, so long as I am left to my unbelief.Kerry O'Connorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00720862912375945249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313195297275159246.post-30799064921029197542015-04-22T03:04:33.865+10:002015-04-22T03:04:33.865+10:00Oh how I enjoyed reading this, Rosemary, with such...Oh how I enjoyed reading this, Rosemary, with such a big smile of recognition and agreement.

You have really captured the essence of the subject beautifully :D<br /><br />I don’t know<br />what God is going to do<br />if people keep saying The Universe<br />when they really mean God.<br />What will he do to stop them?<br />Will he cancel free will?<br /><br />God deems everyone equal.. He wont punish severely rather He is known to be forgiving and kind to all mankind.
