In the beginning, or what we can comprehend as the beginning, which we can't, is God. Therefore if anything is in existence today, it had to come out of the same source. I like to speak of this awesome energy as first cause. There is nothing and no one that is not God, This First Cause or Prime Creator is everything, just smaller portions of same. All the atoms, the space between the atoms, molecules and so forth and so on. He is the cells in your body, if not then there has to be other sources besides Prime Creator, and there is only one source. This is the closest and the simplest way I can explain. This energy cannot be destroyed, it only changes form.

I like what you are attempting to say here but I can't go along with the analogy. The Holy Spirit enters our bodies not the soul of believers. And He doesn't course through us as blood through our veins. I see it more like the Holy Spirit taking up residency within a house (or temple which we are) and setting up housekeeping. The more we allow Him to do His job the better we are for it. The cleaner He makes us the better we represent the Landlord which will make us more desireable to others. Sometimes analogies help and sometimes they hinder. A lot of people when witnessing will ask another, "Would you like to invite Jesus into your heart." This will even make young children ask ... Will He fit? and adults ... Is this person whacked out? In some cases I've seen children frightened by the prospect of Jesus trying to get in their heart. I think we need to really consider the connotation of how any anaolgy we use will affect the hearer.

Human beings are imperfect because they themselves are not God and only share partially in His greatness. Despite this fact, human beings are prone to the error of thinking they themselves are gods and try to enforce their truths on others. They forget that we can only conceive in words that are poor substitutes for truth and are themselves approximations. For this reason many human being are trapped in the delusion of thinking they have knowledge of reality when all they know is their delusion.

The doctrine on consubstantiation is complex, look it up. Sin and evil is the consequence of Original sin, God allows us to choose Him over evil or sin. Although we are to try to love each other as ourselves, we always fail, repentance is therefore just as important as love.

God resides in love and truth.
Religion is about fear.
Man-made religious doctrines are about lies.
God does not reside in fear and lies.
