It's "my god" in the sense that I defined him as the creator of the universe, but what I'm saying is that that could be interpreted as God creating the universe by explanding his natural self or by being supernatural and literally creating the natural universe outside himself.
Quote:I may be missing your point but I think it's the bible that defined him this way.
Did the bible mention that God was a non-natural being that created nature? If not, could he not have been the original part of nature that produced some more nature?
Quote:Considered more valid by whom?Most theists. If you read the OP you will notice that I'm questioning why theists believe God is non-natural.
I'm asking anyone who wants to answer: Why do theists interpret God as being non-natural? When the bible says God created the universe, where does it say that he's necessarily non-natural rather than a natural being that created the universe by producing more of himself?
