Hi everyone in similarworlds.com, I Yrger theist am telling you that I have investigated the issue God exists or not.
And I have reached the following findings based on reason and intelligence:
1. God and existence are identical.
2. God is permanent i.e. eternal.
3. God is self-existent i.e. not dependent on anything at all for His existence.
4. There are two kinds of existence: (a) Self-existence which is the existence of God, (b) depedent existence which is everything that is not God.
5. Dependent existence owes its existence to the existence of God, i.e. all instances of dependent existence come about from the creation act of God.
6. God is the medium existence, which all other instances of existence survive in.
7. Summing up: God is the permanent i.e. eternal self-existent reality creator and operator of everything that is not God Himself.
In num 6 I say that:
"God is the medium existence, which all other instances of existence survive in."
And in num 1 I say that:
"God and existence are identical."
So, if we imagine that God's existence is a vast endless ocean of water, then we are all and everything not God Himself, we are like fish swimming in water, and the water is God.
Perhaps that is why someone in the New Testament of Christians states that:
"In Him (God) we live and move and have our being." Acts 17:28
