  1. You didn't specify which god, apparently implying that there is only one God, or forgetting that humans have many gods. First, try to define (at least for yourself) what this word means – “god”, which generalizes both theistic God and thousands of other gods. When you get a definition, insert it into the text of the 1st Bible commandment for verification:”I am the Lord, … yours, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, you shall have no others … before My face.”

  2. The fact that the world is presented to contemporaries from science as different states of a single information field is banal, the technique of hesychasm helps to fully understand and convey this idea.

    I offer some conclusions.

    Everything that exists is information (the absence of information is information about its absence).

    The mode of existence of beings (being) is the exchange of information.

    The meaning of existence of beings is the creation of new information.

    There are three types of information: sensation, message, and attitude.

    Information is a trinity – creation, distribution, and consumption.

    Information as ideas is primary.

    Information as energy is secondary, used to transmit information.

    Matter is the third type of information, a kind of warehouse, memory.

    A person is an information converter.

    Devil – information virus (distorts information, reptile).

    You can talk for as long as you want about the devil, evil, etc., but the main thing is to know that all these are ancient programs of self – preservation, survival and aggression, which are written down genetically in each of us in the form of instincts. What we do with them – whether we suppress them or take pleasure in the possible realization of them-is our path, and is our ” I ” as the sum of relationships.

    Creating living things is a multi-stage action that requires the transfer of all information. The perception of God as the absolute, the God of philosophers, who exists only outside of creation and is indifferent to our existence – is a problem for the thinker, but not for the sentient. Maybe I will say something stupid, but it seems to me that all conversations about God outside of personal experience are useless. God is a subjective reality given to us in sensation, communication, and relation.

    If my ” I “(in the desire to live forever) realizes His Word (Truth = God is Love), goes to Him, changing his attitude towards God, the world and people, then God goes to meet me. And here, in the course of movement, there is a sense of authentic being.

    Trying to criticize other people's experiences is destructive. I understand, I sympathize, and only then I accept or not. What is good for the other, we do not know, but we probably know what will make him feel bad. For an outsider who has not set his heart on Jesus Christ, the God who brings the Truth to LIFE, all this is the delirium of a gray mare.

    But for a rational man, the knowledge and incarnation of Truth is true life …

  3. This is an interesting question. There are such views that there are. In general, you can beautifully imagine this system as a fractal. For example, at ground level, there is a great entity responsible for this area. Its brainchild and part are the souls involved in the local whirlwind. He himself also relates to the Sun-level entity. One to a larger shape (clusters, galaxies), and so on. This system is in good agreement with the philosophy of reincarnation. There is always room for development, and each level opens up new horizons, new challenges, and places to grow further. And there will always be One about Whom nothing can be said, because there will always be a certain upper level, inaccessible neither in perception nor in understanding to the lower ones. As in Godel's theorem.

  4. I don't agree! Let us assume that Jesus is the advocate and protector of sinners before God! hadotai is like a lawyer… and the devil is like a prosecutor… God is the judge! that is, they defend and accuse this or that soul in front of the main one! that is, neither the devil nor Jesus has the right to personally forgive or execute. which indicates that the system is layered. so God has a god! and Jesus has angels just like God, it's working class! but all this is too human! isn't it? the justice system is very human because that world itself falls out of the human understanding!!! in fact, this is a system invented by a person to show that the provasudiya system on earth is similar to the heavenly one, so that people would not doubt the result of the verdict and consider it almost of heavenly origin!

  5. Let's think logically. There are three different concepts of deity – the monotheistic God, the pantheistic God, and the polytheistic gods. Now let's see how they differ (and at the same time, whether there can be a situation “god of another god” and how it will be expressed:

    1) Polytheism (polytheism). It is assumed that within the framework of polytheism there is a theogony (God-development), where more powerful entities give birth (by copulation or “budding”) to less powerful ones. As a rule, however, polytheism is based on the idea of a revolt of “minor gods” who overthrow the elders or “super-beings” and subdue them, and do not worship them at all. That is, in polytheism, God is a kind of powerful supernatural entity, which has its own gradation and hierarchy. This is how the Edda describes the older gods-the Vanas and the younger “aesir”, between whom peace reigns, but the Aesir do not worship the Vanas. In ancient religion, there were first super-beings (Gaia, Tartarus, Eros, Night, Erebus, and Uranus). Then the two super-beings Gaia and Uranus gave birth to the first generation of gods (titans), one of whom, Cronus, rebelled against Uranus and castrated him (deprived him of the ability to generate). Then Zeus was born, who defeated both Cronus and his patroness Gaia and Tartarus, and established the rule of the lesser gods. And so it is everywhere in mythologies. That is, it's like “gods have gods”, but firstly they are not gods, but rather super-beings, and secondly they are not worshipped by the gods. God in this mythology is not omnipotent – he can lose his power (Uranus) or be overthrown and killed, or imprisoned (Prometheus).

    2) Monotheism (Belief in a Single God-the creator of the material and spiritual worlds). Monotheism is even more interesting. There is One eternal, omnipotent God who creates everything without resorting to someone else's help (from nothing), by his own power alone. In principle, monotheists differ. Some monotheists believe that all created things are simple tools of God (more or less exalted). Others (Christian monotheism) believe that among the created beings, there are those who God has prepared for an amazing fate – to grow with His help to divine dignity. So in the Old Testament we read: “I said,' You are gods and the sons of the Most High, all of you.'” But people, even if they become gods, will not be equal to God in natural properties (they will not become omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient), but they will be equal in grace-giving properties (they will become just as kind, merciful, loving). This is the state of paradise in Christianity (as it has been described). That is, in Christian monotheism, there is both a God (over whom there is no one) and “gods” (that is, people over whom there is a God – leading them to become “gods according to their grace-filled properties”, “become like God”). But what it doesn't have is a relentless, human-like and passionate counterpart to the ancient Greek gods. True, there are servants (angels) who are often mistaken for gods with the light hand of Hollywood. But angels are not gods (neither in Christianity, nor in Islam, nor in Judaism). They are messengers, they act on behalf of God, not by themselves. But there are demons-evil angels who have fallen and serve themselves. But they are also “not gods”, their activities are strongly limited by God (as the Christian theologian Lossky said: “A demon could turn any of the planets into oblivion with one of his fingernails, but he cannot, because he is limited in his actions by the Creator).

    3) Pantheism – (Belief in God as the ideal basis of the world or in God, who represents the material world). In pantheism, God is most often the soul of the world, and matter is the body of the world. Or rather, matter is the body of God, and the ideal basis of matter is the soul of God. Such pantheism is easily combined with paganism. Usually the distant “foundation of the world” – the Absolute, which is similar to the monotheistic God in its omnipotence, but not a person in itself-is what gives rise to other gods. So yes. in pantheism, there is precisely a “god of gods”. But the only thing is that the gods usually do not know about his existence (just as ants do not know about the existence of a person, but only see some silhouette or feel some interference). The absolute, as a rule, does not reveal knowledge about itself, other gods (the most powerful and closest by birth to it) themselves reach this knowledge. In this sense, pantheism is the most religiously vulnerable concept.

    Something like that.

  6. It depends on your religion.
    Christianity/Islam/Judaism do not.
    Among the ancient Greeks, it is difficult to say, because in the ancient Greek pantheon there is a goddess Geya, who occupied a rather special position,but most likely not.
    The Scandinavians don't, as far as I remember.
    But in Hinduism-yes. Present is the T. S. “god of a higher order” Brahma. (For Hare Krishnas, this is Krishna).
    Buddhists have a rather confusing concept, at least in some variations of Buddhism. There it is not very clear whether a certain “supreme” Buddha is a deity in relation to the gods, or not. This is not explicitly stated (or rather, I have not seen such statements), but such an interpretation, let's say, is not excluded. Or maybe it suggests itself, it's already a matter of personal preference.

  7. Let's move away from the fact that there is a so – called being-God. This God created us and everything around us, all living things, etc.�

    Accordingly, God is the creator of the universe and all its devices. God lives in an unknown part of the universe, and creates another planet. Where there will be other creatures. They will also believe in God.�

    But if the creator has the creator? The answer is no. If we move away from the opposite, that is, God has a god, then we are also gods for someone, which does not correspond to what I described above.�

    Accordingly, in the ordinary understanding, God is the highest organism that does not require a creator.�

    (The question is not quite clear enough, there may be a thousand answers at all)
