God isn't an impersonal thing, like ‘the Force’ in star wars. He's a ‘he’, not an ‘it’.

This isn't the same as saying that God is a ghost, or isn't real. It means that God isn't a physical being. He doesn't have a body. He isn't part of the physical universe. In fact, God made the whole physical universe – planets, stars, galaxies, everything.

Because of this, he doesn't experience things as happening one after another, as we do. Rather, all times are equally present to him. In the same way as all times are equally present to God, so are all places. God is everywhere.

'Who made God?' If God has always existed, this question is meaningless. He never had a beginning, and he will never have an end. And he will never get old or weak or feeble.

He isn't limited in any of the ways that we're limited. He knows everything. His knowledge is unlimited, and his power is unlimited. He can do whatever he wants. God is completely and utterly in control of everything that has ever happened or ever will happen – the bad stuff as well as the good stuff.

Some people say, 'Strike me dead, God, if you're really there. Then I'll know' But why should God do what we say? If God had to do everything everyone told him to do, who would be running the universe? God or some human being? God doesn't dance to our tune. We don't pull his strings.
