I’m a little confused about what the Christian bible says about who God is. It sounds as though the New Testament considers God to be a being that is separate and distinct from us. A God in heaven sort of looking down and orchestrating things in a way but also allowing free will. But doesn’t the old testament sort of make God out to be more energetic. A set of universal laws in essence that respond to humans choices. Don’t Jews believe this?
I’ve been reading books about the natural laws of the universe… one being the law of attraction. It basically talks about how what you put out you get back and what you focus your mind on your create, etc. So, isn’t that in essence what Jesus was talking about? So, is God just merely the energy of the universe rather than this being that Christianity tries to make him out to be?
It gets confusing to me. If we create our own reality by the thoughts we think, the things we do, etc. Then isn’t that in essence us creating our own destiny and cause and effect creating our outcome… rather than a God looking down on us?
I’ve been going to a Baptist church but I’m confused about this? What’s the truth according to the bible?
For example, when the bible says that we’re created in God’s image… couldn’t that just mean that we possess the same energy… the same power to create and destroy? That ultimately within we are energy??
