Dear_Doug

Dear Doug, I'm very happy to hear from you again! How's school going' I know that you are probably already waiting the whole time for my answer but I'm really sorry but i was kind of busy last week because I had to catch up with some homework. You know that I'm kind of a lazy guy when it comes to school homework, especially Economics or Understanding the Times. It's not like that I don't like the classes, but Mr. Johnson, who is my teacher really cares about it, so I decided to start doing my homework properly. Your cousin told me that your sister is pregnant' I could not believe what i heard when she told me that. But I'm really happy for her and Bob. They will be very good parents. Excuse me for telling you what's all going on right now with me and my life, instead of answering your questions but I'm just really bored right now ;) haha. So you wanted to know if all the nature would be divine if God created it all, right' God is perfect and complete, and because He is completely perfect, all emanations from Him, such as this phenomenal world, are perfectly equipped as complete wholes. Whatever is produced of the Complete Whole is also complete in itself. Because He is the Complete Whole, even though so many complete units emanate from Him, He remains the complete balance. I hope this wasn’t too confusing. Everything that God did or does is divine. God is three Persons - the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. But He is not three gods. When we say God is three Persons, we don't mean that He is three people or men. He is God! By person, we mean that the Father, Son, and Spirit are real beings. Each is fully God. Each person of God does different things, but all together they are one God. God is three-in-one, called the Trinity. The Trinity describes the three different Persons of our one God.The Trinity is like water. Water can be a liquid, a solid (ice), or a gas (steam), but it is still only one thing - water. The Trinity is also like a family. A family can have a father, a mother, and a child, but it is still only one thing together - a single family. Of course, these examples cannot fully explain the Trinity. God is greater than we can fully understand. The Trinity is hard to understand, but we believe it is true because God tells us He is three-in-one in the Bible. God existed before humans and invention. So no He is not just figment of our imaginations, nor is He one of our inventions. You could have answered that question By yourself, because if you are a Christian then you should know that God was before everything, which includes human and invention. So there is no possible way that God is someone who was created by something that wasn’t even there yet. To answer the question more clearly, God is not anything we can comprehend, but in the eyes of a Christian, He is the reason for everything, He is absolute where everything else is relative. So God is always the right answer for everything. To me, a Christian should be tolerant of other people's religious beliefs if you define "tolerant" as "respecting someone who holds beliefs different from yours." I believe in God, and I believe Jesus Christ is the only way to Heaven. I respect the atheist who does not beleive in God, but I will not say his belief is as true as mine. I believe Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life, and that no one comes to the Father but through Him. I respect the Muslim who says Jesus is not God and did not even die on the cross anyway, so He couldn't possibly have died for my sins. But I will not say his belief is as true as mine. So I hope I answered all of your questions as clearly and understandable as possible for you. If there is anything you don’t understand about my answers just let me know because I have not that much to do right now, besides my project, which is going on since the beginning of this semester. Well I guess I will do well on it. I am doing the project with my classmate Seungmok Ji, obviously he is Asian, he is South Korean to be exactly. Its fun to work with him, because he always tells me stuff about Korea. Did you know they go to school from 8 am to 10 pm' Isn’t that completely insane' Haha maybe just to us. Well, I hope I will hear from you soon because I can’t wait to read your new questions. How are things going with your room mate Nathan' Are you guys already best friends' Just keep me updated with your things buddy! God bless you Doug! Sincerely Dariush Sherif
