Are you co-creator of the world, along with God?

Here is a question: How do we differentiate real, authentic voices from God from delusional, schizophrenic voices in our head? How can we trust such things and not risk deception? Does God get a cut of the prophets made from selling this book?

Furthermore, are you equating life with soul? Please explain.
Think of yourself going to a beach, there you will find sand. You can take wet sand and create anything you desire. Now think of an atom, this is God's "grain of sand". God created life out of atoms, yet God Himself, is not atomic. Since God is not atomic, God was not "dead till then". If you take a sheet of paper and make a paper airplane, the plane is not "dead till then" it simply has not been created from the paper yet.

When God gave the Breath of Life to man, this was not atomic life as we know it, this was mankind receiving a Soul. God is a Pure Energy Entity, and thus does not "expire". We ourselves are pure energy as we are composed of atoms and thus we are 100% nothing more then compiled bits of energy. The Energy that God consists of is not atmoic, this is why after our physical lives expire, yet we still continue on. Our Soul is the very essence of God, as God does not expire, neither does our Soul.

But I sense there is still a little uncertainty there, so you may not be sure all the time that its really yourself you are talking with, you may still be hanging onto the idea that this is really a separate person, this God fellow.

Here's a link which may help sort it out:
YouTube - The Spirituality of Tomorrow
As Jesus tried to explain to man, we are all One with God. Yet we are individually different, think of it as the human race, we are all in the same "family" yet we are individuals. As you may give credit to your mother and father for your physical life, we as man, must give credit to God for our Soul. Your parents will grow old and their physical life will expire, you thus "replace" tham as adults and have children of your own. God does not expire, and you could never me "greater" then God. I feel you are on the right track, many people do not understand that we are literally connected to God. As the DNA that is in your body is the same(basically) DNA that is in your mother/father/children, the energy that courses through your Soul, is the same energy that God consits of.(This was the Breath of LIfe, mentioned in the Bible)

Yes, God also can "hate". I will provide you examples.(Both in my book)

Suffering:

Genesis 6 - 6:
And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on earth and grieved in His heart.

Hate

Deuteronomy 7 – 9:

Therefore know that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments; and He repays those who hate Him to their face, to destroy them. He will not be slack with him who hates Him; He will repay him to his face.


Proverbs 8 - 13:

The fear of the Lord is to hate evil; Pride and arrogance and the evil way and the perverse mouth I hate.

Amos 5 – 21 and 22:

I hate, I despise your feast days, And I do NOT savor your sacred assemblies. Though you offer Me burnt offerings and your grain offerings, I will NOT accept them, Nor will I regard your fattened peace offerings.

I have never heard the "voice of God", so I do not know if I can help you here. I would give the advice that if you hear voices in your head, to see a doctor immediately.

Does God get a cut of the prophets made from selling this book?(I am confused here) Assuming prophets = profits, and the book you are reffering to is the one I wrote, the answer would be no.(God does not need or desire money) If you are poor or do not wish to buy the book, yet you still want to read the Truth, just request a copy from your local library, it won't cost you a penny (Assuming your book return is not late)
