Why is this world considered a separation of God?

Question

B/c it's hard and cruel?
B/c it contains abuse and poverty?

What if, God is everything? How can their be a right and a wrong?

Answer 1

It is a result of a crazy desire to be someone or something we are not, and never can be in truth.

God is everything, but everything that is real. The Nature of God is freedom, thus, we are free to discover our true state of being, beneath the illusions of abuse and poverty, and all other things that are not so.

There is God, and everything God created. Only this. Everything else is perception, and perception is a wish fulfilled.

Answer 2

I believe that God is everything. Like two sides of the same coin, the world of duality is misconceived as being seperate from God. Without pain, there can never be joy, and vice-versa.

He is known as the Creator by all religions, yet he only created certain things? I disagree and say he is one, in and around his creation, us and the world. He is the smell of rose and also its thorns.

There is a right and wrong because we live in a relative world, a world of dualities and changes of perception. Each right varies on every single situation. For instance, if i pull a knife, it may be seen as wrong. But expand the view, and see that I am surgeon pulling a knife to operate ona pateint. The right and wrongs change with the perception, but it should be weighed solely on the intention of the action, and not the other way around.

Answer 3

1 John 5:19 says; "the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one". Since Satan is in control of the world (political and corrupt religious system) then God has separated himself from these entities. The bible also goes on to say: "if anyone is constituting himself as a friend of the world, the love of the father is not in him"

God created the earth, but didn't create evil. Satan and rebellious humans have done that. God didn't create robots to serve him, he gave us free moral thoughts. So the bad and wrong was made from us, not him.

Answer 4

God's Word, The Holy Scriptures, Bible, answers at Ephesians 4:18: "While they [the world] are in darkness mentally, and alienated [or separate] from the life that belongs to God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the insensibility of their hearts. Having come to be past all moral sense, they gave themselves over to loose conduct to work uncleaness of every sort with greediness." (New World Translation)

Answer 5

Jesus said so.
John 14:30.
"The ruler of this world is coming and he has NO HOLD on me."
Surely he wasn't referring to his heavenly father.
His heavenly father had a huge influence on him.
He was referring to Satan, as is backed-up by:
1 John 5:19.
That's why Jesus kept saying his followers would be no part of the world.
John 17:14

Answer 6

Most people prefer the pain of the illusion of separateness from god. If only they could wake up and realize their own godhood.

Answer 7

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
James 1:17

Answer 8

Islamic point of view is that >>>God is neither in sky, heaven , bathroom ( i said bathroom because many people believes that God is everywhere, and this notion cannot be in harmony with the majesty of God. I cannot say that God is in the bottle which is in my hand with lid closed.) or any other place , nor God is everywhere. Some say that God is a spirit. God is not a spirit. but God created spirit. The whole universe is the creation of Almighty God. God is the alone creator of heavens and Earth. He is Unique, unlike that which He has Created. And there does not exist in His Creation anything like unto Him. His Creation is not a part of Him.

Some other religions teach that "God is everywhere." This is actually called "pantheism" and it is the opposite of our believe system in Islam. God is not now, nor was He ever in His Creation. QURAN SAYS IN SEVERAL PLACES THAT GOD HAS THE KNOWLEDGE OF ALL THINGS. "From Whom is not hidden The least little atom In the Heavens or on earth: Nor is there anything less Than that, or greater, but Is in the Record Perspicuous.’” [Al-Qur’aan 34:3]

HE HAS THE POWER OVER ALL THINGS. HIS KNOWLEDGE IS EVERYWHERE. HIS HEARING IS EVERYWHERE, HIS SIGHT IS EVERYWHERE. BUT HE IS NOT EVERYWHERE.

Quran 3:29 Say: "Whether ye hide what is in your hearts or reveal it, Allah knows it all: He knows what is in the heavens, and what is on earth. And Allah has power over all things.

Our eyes are not able to see God. In the paradise, God will give us eyes to see Him, and inhabits of paradise will see Him. If we see God , then we would not dare to disobey Him, That's why He is hidden from us for particular time period i.e. this life which is a "TEST FOR HEREAFTER".

"Vision comprehendeth Him not, but He comprehendeth (all) vision. He is the Subtle, the Aware." (QURAN 6: 102)


Quran 2:115 "To God belong the east and the West: Whithersoever ye turn, there is the presence of God. For God is all-Pervading, all-Knowing"

"Say: He is Allah, The One and Only. "Allah, the Eternal, Absolute.
"He begets not, nor is He begotten. And there is none like unto Him."
[Al-Qur’an 112:1-4]


"Naught is as His likeness; and He is the Hearer, the Seer." (QURAN 42: 11)

"…and He is with you wheresoever ye may be. And Allah is Seer of what ye do." (QURAN 57: 4)

"And when My servants question thee about Me, I am near; I answer the call of the caller when he calls to Me, so let them respond to Me, and let them have faith in Me, that they may go aright. (Quran 2:186)"

"Were We exhausted by the first creation? Yet they are dubious about the new creation. We created man and We know what his own self whispers to him. We are nearer to him than his jugular vein." (Qur'an, 50:15-16)

The presence of Human being cannot be compared with the presence of God. We are bound by space-time dimensions. When we say that we are present in particular place, Our presence is bound by space-time dimensions. God is not bound by any dimensions. Space-Time are property only of the universe that God created. Imagining God as a being existing in time is a fallacy as pointed out by St. Augustine and agreed upon by Stephen Hawking in his book ."A brief history of Time"

"... if there were a complete set of laws, that would infringe God's freedom to change his mind and intervene in the world. It's a bit like the old paradox: Can God make a stone so heavy that he can't lift it? But the idea that God might want to change his mind is an example of the fallacy, pointed out by St. Augustine, of imagining God as a being existing in time: time is a property only of the universe that God created. Presumably, he knew what he intended when he set it up! " [Page 176, "A brief history of Time" by Stephen Hawkings]


Hope this answer your question. Only Islam gives a logical and rational answer for this.

"God, there is no god but He, the Living, the Everlasting; slumber does not seize him nor does sleep; to Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth. Who is there that shall intercede with Him, except by His permission? He knows what is before them and what is after them, but they do not comprehend anything of His knowledge, except what He will. His Throne extends over the heavens and earth, and their guarding does not strain Him; and He is the High, the Great." (QURAN 2:255)

Answer 9

ALL are one, only false perception sees duality...

the dreamer is asleep...

Light and Darkness, life and death, right and left, are brothers of one another. They are inseparable. Because of this neither are the good good, nor evil evil, nor is life life, nor death death. For this reason each one will dissolve into its earliest origin. But those who are exalted above the world are indissoluble, eternal.

"He Who Is is ineffable. No principle knew him, no authority, no subjection, nor any creature from the foundation of the world until now, except he alone, and anyone to whom he wants to make revelation through him who is from First Light. From now on, I am the Great Savior. For he is immortal and eternal. Now he is eternal, having no birth; for everyone who has birth will perish. He is unbegotten, having no beginning; for everyone who has a beginning has an end. Since no one rules over him, he has no name; for whoever has a name is the creation of another."

22. Jesus saw some babies nursing. He said to his disciples, "These nursing babies are like those who enter the (Father's) kingdom."

They said to him, "Then shall we enter the (Father's) kingdom as babies?"

Jesus said to them, "When you make the two into one, and when you make the inner like the outer and the outer like the inner, and the upper like the lower, and when you make male and female into a single one, so that the male will not be male nor the female be female, when you make eyes in place of an eye, a hand in place of a hand, a foot in place of a foot, an image in place of an image, then you will enter [the kingdom]."

--gospel of thomas

And the great angel Eleleth, understanding, spoke to me: "Within limitless realms dwells incorruptibility. Sophia, who is called Pistis, wanted to create something, alone without her consort; and her product was a celestial thing. A veil exists between the world above and the realms that are below; and shadow came into being beneath the veil; and that shadow became matter; and that shadow was projected apart. And what she had created became a product in the matter, like an aborted fetus. And it assumed a plastic form molded out of shadow, and became an arrogant beast resembling a lion. It was androgynous, as I have already said, because it was from matter that it derived.

Opening his eyes, he saw a vast quantity of matter without limit; and he became arrogant, saying, "It is I who am God, and there is none other apart from me". When he said this, he sinned against the entirety. And a voice came forth from above the realm of absolute power, saying, "You are mistaken, Samael" - which is, 'god of the blind'.

And he said, "If any other thing exists before me, let it become visible to me!" And immediately Sophia stretched forth her finger and introduced light into matter; and she pursued it down to the region of chaos. And she returned up to her light; once again darkness [...] matter.

This ruler, by being androgynous, made himself a vast realm, an extent without limit. And he contemplated creating offspring for himself, and created for himself seven offspring, androgynous just like their parent. And he said to his offspring, "It is I who am god of the entirety."

And Zoe (Life), the daughter of Pistis Sophia, cried out and said to him, "You are mistaken, Sakla!" - for which the alternative name is Yaltabaoth. She breathed into his face, and her breath became a fiery angel for her; and that angel bound Yaldabaoth and cast him down into Tartaros below the abyss.
