For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.
Matthew 18:20 NIV

it& #39;s really past 5am right now but i& #39;ve been having this conversation with my sister about God for 3+ hours and i think we& #39;ve made some really cool points (and also i just think they& #39;re really funny to talk about) im literally this meme from unsolved rn thinking about it
firstly i just want to say that whatever i say in this thread is supposed to be lighthearted because most of it is just theory and our opinions on different topics and also we were kind of making fun of ourselves this entire conversation, but it& #39;s still something worth sharing.
so my sister always comes to me when she has questions about God and the bible in general, which of course i don& #39;t have all the answers to, but i try to answer them as best as i can with my knowledge and my faith being the stronger one out of us two. it was mainly her just
asking for clarification about certain stories in the bible and how that reflects into our lives. and then we also get sidetracked into talking about other people in our lives. one of the topics that was brought up was God being busy/being able to multitask really well. my sister
didn& #39;t understand why some people who are non-believers desperately ask for a sign from God Himself in His natural form. she said "that& #39;s sort of selfish of them to ask God to come to them directly just to prove to them that He& #39;s real when He has other things to take care of" and
i understand her logic, but i had to explain to her that God is almighty and all powerful so if He chooses to show Himself to people in that way then it& #39;s not a problem for Him to do. and then i got to thinking about God and His form you know? because she also asked me how do i
see Him. she see& #39;s Him as an aura with a vague shape of a human but not actually a human. and i told her i see Him kind of that way too. like He doesn& #39;t take a physical shape or form (unless He chooses to) but rather He just ~is~. anyways back on track. when i was around 14 i had
this whack theory that the universe was in the shape of God& #39;s body, but now that i don& #39;t think God has a "body" i don& #39;t believe in that anymore. but the phrase that we are created in God& #39;s image got brought up and so i had to think again. amidst all of this my brain suddenly
mashed up all of these topics into one conclusion. my sister doesn& #39;t understand how God can handle everything all at once right? but He does. just like a human body does. even though we think we can only do one thing at a time. our brains can be focused on one task, but while our
brain is working, so are other systems in our body - our heart is pumping blood, our lungs are breathing air, our stomach is digesting food - all at the same time somehow. just like how God is able to do many different things all at the same time. and we are created in His image.
so when i made that connection then she kind of understood it better that God can never be "too" busy for anything. another topic we got into was the topic of souls and bodies. she asked me about the story of Jesus and the tomb. it got into a weird tangent about heaven and how we
look like in heaven. i told her about how the body is just flesh and that God doesn& #39;t care about our body itself but rather our souls that use the body He put us in. and so we came to the conclusion that in heaven we don& #39;t have bodies. and then we had a moment where we were like
oh! since we are created in God& #39;s image, maybe in heaven we don& #39;t have bodies and instead we& #39;re just like floating auras just like how we think God "looks" like. but because heaven is full of different souls, if you meet a soul you can recognize them as their that they had on
earth. this thread is getting long and im tired and it probably won& #39;t make sense when i wake up but i was literally so amazed thinking about the conversations we were having!!! at the end of the day no matter if what we think is true or not, God was with us in our room while we
