That is, making a stool and giving birth to a child are the same thing? Are the stool and the child fundamentally different? — They are different. "With what?" Fundamentally different? Yes, both the child and his parents are people. After all, we do not expect to take a burrowing mouse or an unknown animal from the hospital. And a stool, a tape recorder, a picture are inanimate objects. Their essence is different.

Using this analogy, let us see what the concept of creation implies. Creation has a different essence than the Creator, just as a stool is different from a carpenter. And since the Creator is different from creation, we obviously cannot find the Creator Himself within creation. Her photographer himself is not in the photo, if it is not a self-portrait, but the thoughts and feelings that he wanted to express are there. This is very important.

God is not gold, not silver, not air, not earth, not space, not stars, not cosmic energy, not cosmic intelligence. Why? Because the cosmos is created and the Creator is outside of creation, then God is not a cosmic intelligence. He cannot be a star, so the stars do not rule a person. Astrology is the worship of the luminary instead of God, idolatry, you cannot believe in it. Nor is God a man.

He is not the highest part of man, not his soul. Therefore, the statement "God is in my soul," which assumes that God is a part of the soul, is wrong. Do you understand why? God is the Creator of the soul, but not the soul. God is the Creator of man, but not man. Is God the Father of all people? "For everyone. — Not exactly. Let's figure it out. We agreed that only one who has the same essence as the one who gave birth can be born.

God is the Father of Christ and through Him He adopts us as sons. This adoption is given by Baptism. "So we are not children of God?" — Yes, God is not the Father for the unbaptized. An unbaptized person cannot read the Lord's Prayer, because he does not have God as Father. For him, God is only the Creator, Who, of course, cares about him, Who loves him and cares for him.

But it is better to pray with the words of the Psalms, turning to God the Creator. God is outside the universe, since He is not a creature, but its Creator. So He's beyond space and time, doesn't that matter? The universe exists in space and time. And since God is outside of space, He is also outside matter, which means that He is not material, so we call Him Spirit, that is, a Being who does not possess a material body.

As early as the fourth century, the Church condemned the heresy that asserted that God has a body like a man's. Do not think that God is an old man sitting on a cloud. Of course, He has no taste, color, smell, or form, because these are material characteristics. It cannot be depicted.

God is beyond space, because He is not limited by it, has no dimensions. God is absolutely infinite. You can't say it's eighty thousand kilometers or two millimeters in it. "Infinite?" — Yes. It is endless. But it must be understood that it is not the one who is enormous who is infinite, but the One Who is outside of space. And so we say that God is omnipresent, and if He were limited by space, He would not be the Creator.

He would have become a limited being, not God. "And why can't we call Him cosmos?" Is space the devil? God cannot be the cosmos because He is its Creator. I am talking about the material cosmos, not the one that the occultists write about. Space is not the devil. However, in the Bible, Satan is indeed called the lord of the cosmos, the prince of this world (in Greek, "this cosmos").

But it is so called not because it possesses the visible cosmos, but because it possesses those people who worship the visible cosmos as God, who serve the visible cosmos. Those who serve the cosmos, that is, the creation instead of the Creator, are in the kingdom of the devil. The devil did not create them, but only took possession of them through deception or lies. "Cosmos" has two meanings, even now, in our language.

There is "outer space" that astronomers study. It is God's creation. And there is also a "cosmos" with which sorcerers come into contact. The concept of "peace" is also ambiguous. This is often the name given to the totality of people who live contrary to the will of God. This meaning of the word is still there. Do you remember how they say on TV: "the world community protests against the restriction of the rights of sexual minorities."

This is where we meet the very world in which the devil reigns, as the Scriptures say. You say that the world was created, but in fact it arose from a big bang many billions of years ago. "How do you know?" — Science has proven it. — Are you personally sure of this? — That's what scientists say. "You never know what they say...

Previously, it was believed that the earth stands on elephants, now they claim that it was the result of an explosion, so what? — And what about the theory of evolution that has been proven? — These are hypotheses that change every year. Read Darwin carefully, he put forward his theory as a hypothesis and was not completely sure of it himself. He died a believer. Nothing is more unreliable than the latest scientific hypotheses.

The past does not belong to the sphere of action of science at all, especially the pre-human past, there are no methods for studying it, only assumptions. It is impossible to conduct an experiment with the past, and in the pre-human past it is impossible even to verify the testimony of witnesses. All the talk that science has proven how the world came into existence is a scientific-like mythology. "When Christ was born, they say that some star fell, the Magi followed it...
