There is no Trinity in Hebrew or Greek. The idea was born in the 2nd century by a guy named Tertullian.
There is no "Holy Spirit" or, "spirituality". That's just goofy.
God is not "supernatural" He is preternatural. Natural yes, just really hard to explain. The Greek or Hebrew does not use any word that can be translated legitamately as "creation". The verbs are 'make', 'made', 'build' using, I'm guessing, zero point energy. The Hebrew word barah, translated "created" in Gen 1:1 means: to speak into existence. I'm pretty sure the word wasn't BANG! But I haven't yet ruled out "bazinga"!
That (my bolded) makes a lot more sense to say than inventing a place separate from the cosmos to hold God. Of course that does make me wonder what you have in mind when you say earlier that "God is outside our 4 dimensional world". But this is your intro thread so this discussion probably belongs in another thread, if you care to have it at all.
However, if you don't mind my asking, have you ever considered the possibility that God resides in the labyrinths of our minds, no more something we 'just make up' than is our personality, our memories or our likes and dislikes. It seems like that would be God enough to make a difference in a person's life. Does God really have to have galactic repercussions to be relevant?
