Uncreated, Unformed God

[shunyadragon]

In Baha'i' Faith, what is God?

God is the Creator and 'Source' of our physical existence, and the 'Source' of the spiritual evolution of humans on this world through Revelation, and in life on all possible worlds that support life.

OK, but do you have to be a fixed form in order to do that? if palingenesis is possible, then which personality is the one to identify with eternally? even without metempsychosis; which personality in one lifetime is the eternal I?

Not so much fixed form but perspective point/s which will always change. Which build on each other, that forms one with tenticles.

You will find that they kinda merge into each other. One effects the other and the other effects the one.

Am i the past me, present me or future me?
Well they all lean on each other and effect each other, so i would say you are all. As you can't be one without the other...

God is the Creator and 'Source' of our physical existence

Is he a pantheist god or panentheist?

Is he a pantheist god or panentheist?

Definitely not Pantheist. Pantheism would describe a God that is in some way the universe itself. Panentheism is possibly close. It is best to describe God as an apophatic Theistic God that is the Creator of our physical existence.

In this thread I have previously clarified this.

you see god as a thing and not as a potential, or power? or you see god as a noun and not a verb?

and why did he create the physical?

 

[allfoak]

isn't light a created thing?

No
A manifestation not creation.

 

[allfoak]

For light read energy.

To attaint such a state would create the biggest bb in 13.7 billion years. Sort of light blue touch paper, stick fingers in ears and run to the next universe

We have been doing it since the beginning of the human race.

Words alone cannot describe the process.
Think metaphorically.
