words are important for understanding things correctly .
"God " is the spirit of the Lord expressed in actions. It is a belief system for alligning oneself to Divine will.
You Are God. You do have God-given power which reflects the nature of the universe.
It is a falsehood to say that we dont have god-like powers. Remember the Lord is not a manipulator, but is also not to be trifled with.
Separating man from their god -like nature is the best trick ever played on mankind.
Now we just wait to die and hope we did alright in the eyes of whoever we gave that power to so we may be saved.
We have the power to judge, forgive, create/destroy, judge, bless etc. just like Jesus. As long as it is alligned with the will of the Lord all things can be achieved. Nothing is impossible for the Lord.
Now I realize this all sounds a bit fantastic and fanciful but it is the single most important teaching that has made me finally understand the bible.
It is true that the spirit of jc can be expressed otherwise . Rajk does a good job. He's good because he sticks to what he knows works for him. I do the same.
So I guess 'God of Heaven' refers to the LordGod or the 'supreme godhead' whereas 'God ' is used to express our own Divinity , even if there is a lag in this dimension with results .
