[QUOTE="Archived_member15, post: 163970, member: 17438"] My dear [I]brother [/I](cheerleader) Scarlet gingerteakaur I think that brother Harry has answered your question for me! God is everywhere whole and entire but he is [I]not in any single place more than he is another.[/I] If he were a member - then wouldn't that be sorted of like saying that he is [I]especially in SPN? He is everywhere! He is just there, wherever you go, you are in his Presence. In this sense I do not think it would be accurate to say that he is a "member" of anything, since that would seem to limit Him to the finite when he is Infinite. [/I] [B]Catholicism and Sikhism both teach that God is everywhere and in everything, that creation is filled with his Presence and that "[I]God is All[/I]" (Book of Sirach). And yet for Sikhs and Catholics, whilst creation is permeated with the presence and reality of God, he is in all things [I]without[/I] being fully contained by them or limited to them, indeed he both indwells all created things and at the same time transcends them as their ultimate origin and Creator. [/B][B]Because of this both religions teach that creation is good, the world is good, reality is good and that every place is a meeting point with God and provides us with an opportunity to be in his Presence. [/B] He is the ALL. :mundabhangra: Sikhism believes that there is no separation between daily life and holiness. There is no division between the profane and sacred since once we become aware of God's Presence everywhere, we realize that everything is holy and that there is no such thing as a "spiritual life" distinct from daily life. The Adi Granth tells us that, [SIZE=3]"...Spiritual liberation is attained in the midst of laughing, playing, dressing up and eating..." [/SIZE] [I][SIZE=3]- Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji, p 522.[/SIZE] [/I] Catholicism teaches the same.
