A Loving God

[Arkilogue]

Thanks for your thorough and sincere answer.  I assume that since Jesus was one of his teachers and that Jesus taught that God loves us and wants a relationship with us, that you believe that God must be in a personal relationship with all beings.  

In following Jesus his messenger, I am in harmony with God?

I believe he was more than just a messenger, I believe he was like the designer of the obstacle course, already master of it, and entered into it to show us how to navigate it successfully. From what I have found in my works of faith, God (the spirit/mind) is closer to all beings than either their breath or their thoughts. The Holy Spirit surrounds and interpenetrates all creation as a "floor field" at the lowest scale. It connects everything together to the ends of the universe.

Yes, his last prayer was for all believers to be one with the Father as he was. Jesus is a good place to start but all that is read or heard can only amount to belief, and you must make it your own to grow it beyond personal conjecture and into living faith. Seek first the kingdom of God within you and all around you, and God's justice....then all things shall be added to you. We are co-inheritors with Christ.
