THE INFINITE GOD AND THE PERSONAL GOD

In religion, there are two concepts of God. One is a Personal God who is
represented by Yahweh in Judaism, Jehovah in Christianity, Allah in Islam,
and Vishnu and Shiva in Hinduism. In Buddhism and Taoism there is no
emphasis on a Personal God. A Personal God is one who is like a super
being, an anthropomorphic entity, that rules heaven and earth and has a
purpose, intent, emotions and so on just like human beings.

The Infinite God is indescribable, indefinable and inconceivable. In
Judaism, Christianity, Islam and Hinduism, the personal God is given these
all-knowing and omnipotent qualities but without the consideration that
any description of God, is a limitation on God. The Infinite God is beyond
description and without limitations.

The Infinite God is the potential of all things and has no beginning and has
no end. The Infinite God is the Infinite Potential that forever manifests
those potentials and forever disintegrates those manifestations. The only
two constants of the Infinite God are Change and Diversity.

The Infinite God is like the ocean. The ocean is a vast body of liquid that
manifests shells, fish, mammals, plants and so on. It really has no
preference of one manifestation over another. It is all things. It is at one
with all things. All things within the Ocean are one with the Ocean.

When atheist reject the notion of God, they are really rejecting the concept
of a Personal God. To reject the Infinite God, the Infinite Oneness, is like
a fish denying the existence of the Ocean.

The Infinite God is called "The Way" in Taoism, "Brahma" in Hinduism
and "Dhammakaya" in Buddhism. The Personal God of Judaism,
Christianity and Islam is referred to as also being the Infinite God and yet
the emphasis is on the Personal aspects of God.

When one embraces the Infinite God, one understands that there is no
difference between the Personal Gods, and all races, religions, nations,
and both sexes are distinct but at one with the Infinite God. All is One. All
are One.

There is no harm in embracing a Personal God as long as that Personal
God does not encourage intolerance of others and consequently become
the harbinger of prejudice, hatred and injustice within the world society. A
Personal God that advocates elitism among its worshipers, who excludes
from its realm rather than embraces, even one human being on earth, is in
the final analysis a harbinger of pain and suffering within the human society
and an antagonist to the manifestation of WorldPeace.
