You're a buck short and a day late, pal.
Your fingers produce nothing but slime.
Try again.

A few comments. I did not review pages 2 and 3.

it is easy to understand that the creator is an inorganic man. (robot)
You know that "robot" means slave, yes? Who is God slave to?

I posted a thread to the effect that our reality is one set of physical laws, some of which are still unknown to us, and that God is in another reality or physical dimension that we are only learning the barest edges of. I think God, the Trinity, follows the physical laws of our dimension while affecting our lives. All or some of us pass to another dimension, which likely isn't the reality/dimension of God the Father.
To me it is physics. you can stick to your computer simulation paradigm.
Alpha and Omega not only means, first and last, beginning and end, but it also translates in 1 & 0
Numerically, Alpha and Omega would be 1 and 24. Jesus knew full well His audience would understand His meaning as first and last. Alpha kai Omega, transliterated.

Christ was born in a Greek world. Politically it was Roman (in actuality) while religiously (locally) it was Judaism. In nearly every other respect, Greek culture prevailed. Upper class Jews like Saul/Paul and Josephus received 1st class educations in Greek. That was the norm, not the exception. Lower classes were exposed to it through commerce, the arts, and public affairs, plus the Romans as well, and everyday expressions.
Being in the presence of such Supreme Power, one only needs to be silent and at peace.
You some kind of Buddhist? The Holy Spirit is available to us in this world. The Paraclete, the Comforter. I'm not into yoga, how about you?
God's first commandments to Adam and Eve were what to do and what to eat.

Adam and Eve were created to be servants. Nothing more.
Who were Adam and Eve servants to? God needs nothing. Who? Who did Adam and Eve serve?
Even at the last supper, Jesus refrained from eating flesh.
How do you know that? In the Orthodox view, based on John 19:14, the Last Supper was not the Passover. It was not a seder. There was no Paschal Lamb that had to be consumed, per Jewish law.

I have my own views on Jesus eating flesh. But I do not know enough to fully support them. I doubt He ate any mammal, but I don't see how He could avoid eating fish. That is neither here nor there.

ONE Should read the fine print before signing anything.

Thankyou for your interest in commenting.

I only read your first.

Now some questions, as I only march forth.

In this established Universe, which do you think came first? Light OR Sound? Genesis 1:3

In this established Universe, who do you think the Lord was talking to? Genesis 1:2

In this established Universe, what is more evil? Light OR Darkness? 2 Corinthians 11:14

So the rules are that you want to be engaged, but you will not engage with others? The Greeks have a name or that, also, modern psychiatry.

I see us as "imagers" of God. That is, he created us to be his stewards of this particular planet and, as far as everything else on the planet is concerned, WE are God. I don't think it has anything to do with God being physically like a man. At all. It's about authority.

Think the manager of a wal-mart doing the company's bidding. As far as the customers are concerned, he IS wal-mart.

The rules of total awareness require 0 distractions.

Go ahead and tell us what 0 means again.

OK, you so ugly, your mama had to tie a porkchop around your neck to get the puppy to play with you.
