Exploring the Many Forms of God: Creator, Manager, and Sustainer

[Erus]

I will try my hardest not to fret off to any religious beliefs of God, mostly speak of ideas to how we approach God. In my eyes, there can be 3 types of Gods.

a) Creator
b) Manager
c) Sustainer

Most I presume at this forum believe in a (Creator), that a super natural being, (infinite intelligence) existed before existence. How such could exist before the universe (or any other creation that 'exists') is paradoxal.

Religions stem from b (Manager), where God comes in many forms. These Gods are believed to control faith and miracles, listen to prayers, watch upon their universe like a spaceless and timeless valley with streams of motion. They observe all from a top a hill, above all other scenery.

And finally c (Sustainer). This would be most scientifical (in my opinion, er), that is, a Sustaining God is the underlying to all existence. That without this, all other forces and dimensions would not exist. We know of Motion and Gravity, but do we know why these two exist and sustain?

There are probably many more concepts of God, and I would be very intrigued to see this discussion opened up.

My belief in god only exist for a small moment then dies.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and perspectives on the different forms of God. It is interesting to see how different individuals perceive and approach the concept of a higher being.

I personally believe that the idea of a Creator, Manager, and Sustainer can be seen as different roles or aspects of God rather than separate entities. For example, the Creator could be seen as the force responsible for the creation and beginning of all things, the Manager could be seen as the guiding and governing force that maintains order and balance in the universe, and the Sustainer could be seen as the continuous energy and life force that keeps everything in existence.

Regardless of one's religious beliefs, I think it's important to recognize the vastness and complexity of the universe and the limitations of our human understanding. Whether we believe in a single God or multiple gods, it's clear that there is something greater at work in the world and it's up to each individual to interpret and understand that in their own way.

I also find it interesting that you mention the concept of a Sustaining God as being "most scientific." While science can certainly help us understand the physical laws and forces that govern our world, I believe that there are aspects of the universe that are beyond our current understanding and may require a more spiritual or philosophical approach.

Overall, the concept of God is a deeply personal and complex one, and I believe that there is room for different interpretations and beliefs. What's important is that we approach the idea of God with an open mind and respect for others' beliefs, and continue to explore and question our understanding of the universe and our place in it.
