A Spider we call God!

[AiR]

Have you ever wondered why God can’t do what a little spider does? What does the spider do? A spider does something quite unique. Out of its own body, it creates a web, a world by itself – a world where the spider climbs, dances, moves. But where did the spider’s web come from? There was no external material. The material was produced from the spider itself. If the spider could produce material from itself to create a world for itself, the web, why can’t God do the same with the cosmos?

It is believed that God has thus created this whole universe from God itself. God is unknown beyond human comprehension, but God exists - a Power, a Creator, and this Creator and Power, is manifested in the universe as you and me, as the world, as nature. People wonder “With what material did God create the mountains and the oceans, the skies and the clouds, the human beings, the plants, the animals?” All this is beyond human comprehension, but what we can understand is that if a spider could build its own web, why couldn’t God manifest this whole universe just like a spider? Only that the spider spins its beautiful web from its own silk, God uses his silk to create the universe, and all the creation in it! Food for thought…

Who said that that is not the exact same process as what God is working to right NOW? That process is actually creating the Universe, the way it is, right NOW. From what the Universe/cosmos was immediately prior to NOW Is how NOW was created.

It is believed that God has thus created this whole universe from God itself.

Who said God, in the physical sense, is NOT the Universe, Its Self?

God is unknown beyond human comprehension,

Do NOT be quite so sure of this.

Just one person may have already comprehended all there is to, but has just not explained it all just yet.

but God exists - a Power, a Creator, and this Creator and Power, is manifested in the universe as you and me, as the world, as nature.

The trouble with what has been interpreted and taught already is that has completely misconstrued what God actually IS and how ALL things are created.

What you have just provided here is by FAR CLOSER to the Truth then anything I have seen and heard so far.

The trouble nowadays is some people believe that the Universe "began", in the sense that there was only one and only beginning, which has happened previously, this has led to a desire to find out what created 'it all'. Where the Truth is - NOW is the beginning, and the end, of the created. The Universe is in a constant-flowing and ever-changing creation. Always has been and always will be. Contrary to popular belief the Universe is evolving AND being created equally. In fact one can not happen without the other. This is happening ALL the time, in the NOW.

Absolutely Everything evolves continually, therefore, at any given moment, there is actually a new creation, which must have been created, by some thing. That thing is sometimes referred to as God. Everything was created, but not once upon a time. Everything was/is created right in the HERE and in the NOW. That is all the story of God's creation IS. God, in the physical sense, is just every-physical-thing evolving into a new created thing, all the time, in the continuing NOW.

In the constantly-changing NOW every thing is obviously anew, created thing. If every action causes a reaction, and every reaction, is just another action, which causes another re-action, and so on, then this reactionary process is just the story of creation. REACTION = CREATION. We all know by now that the Universe, or Life, evolves, and that at least two things are needed to cause/create every thing anew. Evolution and Creation work hand in hand to create ALL things, i.e., the Universe as It is right NOW. The Universe was created but not in the sense of prior to NOW but in the sense of right NOW. The Universe is creating Its Self continually RIGHT NOW. That is HOW God, (or the Universe and Life,) It Self, Is Thee Creator creating Its Self always, and in always, from Its Own Self.

That is how the ALL powerful Creator God actually IS Thee Creator of ALL things. God Is ALL things, and the web is spinning.

God, in the non-physical sense, is another story. But ALL of this and more, i.e., everything, can be very easily be understood, when looked at from the right perspective.

By the way air that was so well put. I wish i also could express so thought provokingly.

There was no external material.

Ummm, of course there was. Spiders don't exist in vacuums. They eat--that's the primary function of the web in the first place. To catch food for the spider to eat.

The material was produced from the spider itself.

Not ex nihilo. The spider changes the food it eats into silk--well, and they also typically ingest their own webs, too.

but God exists

I don't agree with that either, by the way.

Just a heads up. Don't expect any replies. He just puts up a post for others to learn from his immense wisdom. If you are up to that, you can continue reading his posts. The better solution is to put him on ignore.

Thanks. Yeah, I usually end up ignoring folks who don't ever respond.
