I definitely believe that God and Energy are all the same. Energy can not be created or destroyed. I also do not believe in a strictly literal interpretation of the Bible. (Even some parts of the Bible tell you what not to take literally)
I believe that God is ultimate reality. The sum up of everything. I also believe that the son of God would be the physical aspect of everything.
I look at the ten commandments as Love God (Life Love and Truth) and Love others.
The "Personal" God so to speak would likely be the spirit that animates all life.
If there is a God, we are part of him. We make up the whole.
(This is a new "realization" to me so I don't think that I'm articulating it as well as I probably should)
The reason we shouldnt replace the word god with Energy, is because we shouldnt be calling it god in the first place. Jehovah is gods name. We have this name to take our relationship with that hogher power to a whole new personal relationship. Spirituality, and religion, performed in the right manner, go together hand in hand almost perfectly. All it takes is belief. -from a former Jehovah's witness whos opened himsef up to myself and inner being. Beggining to see the correlations between what i had been taught then, and now. But thats just my journey.
ALL of you have the wrong idea. God is beyond physics as we know it. He or it is all powerful and at the same time powerless. He exists yet does not exist.
Do you believe that Energy and God are all the same?
What is your presumption of God?
What is your presumption of Energy?
How those 2 are different or alike?
I believe in the universal energy, the light from which everything is made, the same energy that is in all of us, and everything around us. Energy that can not be destroyed, and is transformed from one form to another. Take a look at a piece of plastic under the microscope. What do you see?
Energy is always at work, it was, is and will be, it will never die, it continues to create, change, exist. There are many laws of nature, laws of physics to explain everything about energy, light and how it works.
I too can call it God and righteously so, because in this case God is a Creator, an Energy.
But then, there is Christian God/Father.
For many Christians, believing in God is the same as believing in a material thing, such as table, or a donkey, or a dog, or a statue. We, as humans, use our senses to define things, smell, touch, see, hear. What we can not define becomes "unknown". While all of the material things are visible, Christian God/Father is not, because we don't have enough "senses" to see unseeing. Christian use word God/Father as a definition of something unseeing, untouchable, unheard. While God/Father (in my case is energy) is in all of us and around us, I don't believe in it as humanized creature floating somewhere in space and judging all of us.
Perhaps, if you believe in God/Father as Energy, and if you try to replace word "God/Father" with word 'Energy' in the entire Bible, would the Bible still make sense to you?
Perhaps, we believe in the same thing, perhaps not.
There is a lot more to say, but then, i'll be spending rest of my life typing.
Sorry for my long post, just my little perspective on things all "unknown"
Your views are about eight centuries old. Saint Thomas Aquinas used similar reasoning to explain God in the 13th century.
ALL of you have the wrong idea. God is beyond physics as we know it. He or it is all powerful and at the same time powerless. He exists yet does not exist.
if you consider God as = being, then Tillich's Ground of Being notion might be of interest
