Where is God

Post #1

Post by JehovahsWitness »

Jehovah's Witnesses believe God to be in Heaven, but that he can see everywhere and that his power can reach any part of the universe.


My question is: Where do you believe god is?

- Does he live Heaven?
- Does he literally live Inside of you (in your heart or another organ)?
- Is he literally everywhere?

It's a story to die for, alright.
I can hardly wait for the exciting conclusion.

There won't be any conclusion to the information that gives you life. But I can tell you a bit about life in the next generation that could get you excited if you believe.

I don't believe unless I'm given a good reason for it.
Start there...

And then maybe I will have some interest.

As it stands...
Thanks so much for your testimony.


I think I'll pass on the wonderful experience of getting more.

I'm already full, you see.

Curiosity isn't enough for most people to listen and believe. You have to actually be chosen to participate. You were chosen to participate up to this point so far so we'll see what the program produces for you in the future.

How does our continued existence by HIM imply HE must share our experiences in light of our evil. HE cannot 'share' evil, imo.
PCE Theology as I see it...

We had an existence with a free will in Sheol before the creation of the physical universe. Here we chose to be able to become holy or to be eternally evil in YHWH's sight. Then the physical universe was created and all sinners were sent to earth.

This theology debunks the need to base Christianity upon the blasphemy of creating us in Adam's sin.

It's always good to have an opinion.
You never know when they can come in handy.

Oh, and by the way.. don't you think that it's high time for God to become a feminist? I don't REALLY think that he happens to HAVE a nut sack.


And women got the vote a while back

The process appears to be that evil was discovered through experience with this universe (and according to your own Profile Signature also an experience with an alternate one) but how evil came to be separate from GOD has to be seen in relation to the fact that it must have been an aspect of GOD as potential, before GOD created anything and placed aspects of its own consciousness within those forms.


Once within various forms, good and evil became potential expressions and evidently the potential was realized through the expressions of good and evil.

In that sense, the journey to the sickness of evil and the wellness of good caused the separation process to happen, and this acts like a redefinition of the GODHEAD in relation to the process...in line with GOD creating things in which to experience through, some of those things created allowed for GOD (within those forms) to forget itself and have to reinvent/rediscover the Self in that context.

By organised religion separating GOD from human consciousness to the degree that you are arguing ttruscott, the danger is in separating aspects of GOD from itself through human judgement.

I don't get the impression that the biblical God is doing that. It appears more that the biblical God has always acknowledged His dark side and has not hidden it from human beings at all.

Rather, the bible tends to show an idea of a God evolving from one state to the next as he develops his strategy in relation to his agenda re human consciousness in human form.

To suggest that the consciousness within human form is not to be sourced at GOD in the first place, then begs the question 'From where then did this consciousness derive?'

That's exactly how it appears to us. God could not have shown Himself 5000ys ago as He did 2000ys ago or how He would in another 2000ys.
We can not even imagine human life human intelligenct 2000 ys from now. God shall have to speak the current language to be heard.
