ok so we discussed three contrasting ways (using two terms for each way) of categorizing the Absolute, the Ultimate and the Holy in my religious studies class:
Creator-Creation, Personal-Impersonal, Transcendent-Immanant (earthl creation), now i have to explain each of the terms, do you guyz have any idea?

I probably could explain , but it would take months. Get yourself a Urantia book.

Are you saying that you were not paying attention in class or that you did not do the reading? Go read the book and come back and tell us what you think each one means and then we will help you.
OK, kid. Look here:

And I will help a bit. Transcendent means that God is outside of Creation. Immanent means that He has a relationship with creation and acts within it. Often God the Father is seen an Transcendent and the Son as Immanent. But God is both at the same time.

Immanent means God exists within all things as opposed to a personal God who remains seperate from humanity.
