God is the Closest Person to You

What is the highest embodiment of truth?

Parents, husband and wife, and children; there is nothing higher.

What then is at the center of that truth?  Love.

What is the center of the highest truth based on the principle?  We say that God is the ultimate source of truth, goodness, love and life.

They all go to the same point.  The establishment of truth requires love and life.

For this reason, God is the ultimate source of life, love and truth and He is the deepest core.

What kind of being is God?

He is both Father and Mother with dual characteristics.  The core is the parents.  When we view God from this point of view, God becomes a person.

Since God is all-powerful and all-knowing, His face will look rough when He appears to men.  

When God appears to Adam, God's face will look masculine; to women like Eve, God will have an appearance of a women can like.

If God existed before the creation of heaven and earth, how old do you think He is?

If a person can only count up to 70, then God will be 70.  When a kid can only count up to five asks God how old He is, He will say that He is five years old because they do not know anything above that.

No matter how many numbers there are, God cannot be calculated in terms of numbers. 

God is beyond numbers.  That is how our God is.

God also has a grand sense of humor.  He likes jokes very much.  Who do you think would be the greatest king of humor?  It is God.

He has a good sense of humor because He knows every aspect of existence and is all-powerful.

 Who is the great king that can get an audience to burst over in laughter?  It is God.
I am saying that this great king is God. 

Externally, God resembles men and internally He resembles women.  God is all-knowing and omnipotent, but He is also merciful with a heart that can embroider flowers on Buddha's smile.

God should also have a heart like that of the most feminine woman.  Only then can these two side have life.

God is the great Master of the universe.  He is a being that is not lacking in anything.  He has powers and is all-knowing about everything in existence.

Nevertheless, if a loving son pushed His way to God's bosom, would God ask Him How well His son knows Him?

Even if God tried to stop Him, the son would keep pressing forward to snuggle up to his own father's chest telling him that He wanted to touch His chest because he used to touch his own father's chest for so long.

Would God feel offended?  No.  Any father would be very happy.

When children reach physical maturity, they leave their parents' laps, house and leave for another area.   

When the children finally come home and put on old clothes and try to snuggle to their father's chest, would the father protest this?  Even a grandfather on his deathbed would be happy and tell his grandchild to snuggle and touch his chest.

God is the Creator. 

What more could be added to God?

If something is to grow bigger, it has to pull in and absorb something, or somebody has to add something to it.

How can God grow bigger if there is nothing added to Him and there is nothing for Him to pull in?  

This is an important question. I have not discussed it because if I did, you would talk about it carelessly and cause problems. So please research this. I am giving you this as homework. Do some research; write a paper and I will grade it. 

Have you ever thought where God originally began?

Was He born all of a sudden?  People of faith may say that it is blasphemy to speak about the holy Creator.  Haven't you ever been curious as to whether God came into being or He always existed?

How do you think the absolute God originally began? Do you think He was born all of a sudden, coming out quickly? 

We need to have a logical basis to go on.

Dr. Yoon! How did God come into being? Shouldn't someone with a doctorate in physics know this? Isn't it a shame if the holder of a doctoral degree covers his face like that? Church members can only say, "God naturally exists," but this is not the case.

God Himself also had to develop. This is the correct answer. 

What is it that has the power of the matchless beauty of creation? 

Even though God is all-knowing and all-powerful, God is a personal God.  He is a person when He relates to love.  He will want to sleep there in peaceful rest.  God would not tell you do not rest or demand that you work on restoration of the world through indemnity day and night.

This is God's Principle.  It is just like breathing.   When you exhale, you have to inhale.

God also has to rest after work because He wishes to feel the joy of rest.

Everything is connected to God through a give and take relationship.  If God exists, what kind of being is He?

He is all-knowing, all-powerful and His presence is pervading. He is omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent.  He can do anything.  What if God was to one day tell everyone to serve Him alone?

What if God told all of the spirit world that they must serve Him absolutely because of He is absolute, all-knowing and almighty?

What if everything was ordered to serve only God?

What would take place?  

Because of the essence of our conscience, we would not be able to embrace that in the long term.  This would inevitably cause conflict.  Your hearts would eventually conflict with that kind of law in the future.

The only partner that God can love is human beings.

Why can't God create another God among His creatures?

You may think that God could just create another God just like Himself.  What would happen as a result?  The other God would eat with God, follow Him, they would work together, and stand together.

When God sat down, then the other God would sit down together with Him.

How would life be if they acted exactly the same for hundreds of millions of years?  How stifled would they feel?

Their eyes would turn inside out in a day.  How many days do you think you could talk to each other.  They would say that everything is the same and would complain.

What is at the center of religion?  It is God.

Of course, each religion has a different name for God, but the name does not matter.

God is one.  God is not two.  When people talk about God, they use different names to refer to Him because each nation has a different nation, but the Original Being is one.

Heaven and earth did not just come into being by itself because it wanted to.  Surely, some origin and some motivation based on some source of power initiated this creation.

When we look at this from a higher level, there has to be a basic agent of power who, as a central subject partner moves heaven and earth or creates things.  This being is called God.

No matter which name He is given, the universe needs to have a center.

Although existing beings act and move around, the central being does not move around with them in their world.

Therefore, there has to be a central original being who remains forever fixed at the center of the world of relationships, which are in motion.
