How did God create the universe?
>>18503165Through the Word.
>>18503171What's that?
He cumsed that shits outa his d*cc
>>18503174It's a name for the second person of the Trinity. Other names include the Son of God. On Earth he lived under the name Jesus Christ.
>>18503186Trinity is nonsense, Allah created the universe himself.
>>18503187He definitely did. The only problem is that God is perfectly personal, which doesn't mean perfectly individual and alone, but the opposite - in perfect communion, living in perfect love. This perfect love is tri-une. And as it happens, the first person created the world through the second.Seeing God as a single lone individual in intuitive imagery, you could even bend some scriptures to affirm this point of view, but in reality neither Quran nor the Bible actually say this.
>>18503165through jihad.
>>18503186Neato. So, how did God create the universe?
>>18503197Through the Word.
>>18503198Are you trolling or are you really too stupid to understand what I'm asking you?
>>18503224Maybe I'm too stupid, let's see: You are aware that time and space are attributes of the universe, so you aren't asking about processes (time) or structures (space) employed. You received an answer implying that Creation was a personal act, between two persons, so you aren't asking about mechanisms and laws, since personhood produces those instead of being subject to those. So you know that your question cannot be answered in terms of science or conventional philosophy. And you don't give off the vibe that you're demanding more mythological references. So I suppose I am too stupid to understand... what are you actually asking?
>>18503165He asked me for permission and I said okay, but make sure there's lots of fucked up shit so it's funny.
>how"how" implies a mechanism (even a logical mechanism), by which something happens (in this case Creation of the Heavens and the Earth).now given that you're asking that means you already have an intuition that the mechanism of Creation must already exist prior to Creationbut if that mechanism was created, then that would be a contradiction, since "how" was that mechanism created? as in, by which mechanism was the mechanism used in Creation happen?Jesus (The Word, The Logos) is begotten, not created. He must exist eternally with God since He is through Whom all things were made.John 1:1>In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God.Also:>for from him, through him, and for him are all things and in him all things hold together.Basically, the Father created all things through His Son, that's how. and also that's why, since the Father created them for His son as well.Think literally (literally literally):Father, Son, Holy SpiritAuthor, Main Character, Writer's FlowThe Author and the Main Character pre-exist the story. the story is written by the Author through the Main Character for the Main Character. The Writer's Flow enables the Author to give life/freedom to the story and characters.Jesus is Lord.>>18503247unironically, God never violated anyone's free will when He created them. He doesn't need you to exist in order to ask you. He can just mentally simulate you in His mind and ask you there/then.
>>18503198The chaotic void was there in the beginning. God's creates by dividing waters, seperating wheat from chaff, cutting vines, etc. He is a judge,selector,chooser, etc. He sees something good, and names it (defines it). This is how he forms his verse (one verse / universe). History is his story. The gospel (good spelling / God spell) is his good news.
This >>18503347Was meant for >>18503197 and this >>18503224
>>18503165He divided it into existence.
>>18503171There was a time when he was not.
>>18503347Odin created the world by dividing Ymir's body into different parts of the world.Weird how that's so similar.In the Vedas, the gods sacrifice Purusha, the cosmic being, to generate the universe. They divide his body to establish the cosmic order.Again. Creation through division.So this is Norse, Abrahamic and Vedic myths, all agreeing the mechanism about how the world, the cosmos was created.
>>18503518And when was that?
>>18503527I hung on a wind-swept treeFor nine long nights,Pierced by a spear, pledged to Odhin,Offered, myself to myselfThe wisest know not from whence springThe roots of that ancient rood.Know how to cut them, know how to read them,Know how to stain them, know how to prove them,Know how to evoke them, know how to score them,Know how to send them; know how to send themWhen the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took his clothes, dividing them into four shares, one for each of them, with the undergarment remaining. This garment was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom.“Let’s not tear it,” they said to one another. “Let us cast lots and see who will get it"
>>18503186>On Earth he lived under the name Jesus Christ.No one that knew him ever called him that. He was called Yeshua. Christ isn't a last name, it's a title.
>>18503511Divided what?
>>18503527The founders of Rome, Romulus and Remus, drift down a river in a basket, until they find a tree. In order to form a great kingdom, Romulus kills Remus.I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. In the beginning God was hovering over the dichotomy. He seperated the one from the other. Some saw him floating there, as a non corporeal being, seperate from the physical world, and they cried out, "it's a ghost!".Do not fear the ghost.Do not ignore the ghost.Do not mock the ghost.Rather, beof good cheer.Choose, motivate, and actualize. It is I.

>>18503186>Jesus ChristAnointed salvation of GodChosen savings of good judgment.Worship means worth-ship. It's what is selected, and taken with us.
>>18503569Are you trying to tell me they didn't speak English in 1st century Palestine??
>>18503254>now given that you're asking that means you already have an intuition that the mechanism of Creation must already exist prior to CreationNo, it's people claiming there is creator that have this intuition, not me. I'm asking about their beliefs, not mine.>Basically, the Father created all things through His Son, that's how.How did he create all things through his son?
>>18503239>You received an answer implying that Creation was a personal actI asked how God created the universe, not why.> your question cannot be answered in terms of science or conventional philosophyWhy not?
God formed the universe out of a pre-existing, primordial chaos according to more accurate translations of Genesis which was inspired by similar myths in Sumerian and ancient Hellenist Religion
