The Father has nothing over Him He is the Father of all existence, the incorruptible that is pure light that no one can gaze upon. The Father is the invisible spirit but not a God because He has nothing over Him and no lord above Him. He does not exist within anything inferior to Him since everything exists within Him for He established Himself, He is eternal and does not need because He is absolutely complete and He has never lacked anything to be complete He is always complete in light.

The Father is illimitable since there was nothing before Him to limit Him, unfathomable since there was nothing before Him to fathom Him, immeasurable since there was nothing before Him to measure Him, invisible since nothing has seen Him, eternal since He exists eternally, unutterable since nothing could comprehend Him to utter Him, unnameable since there was nothing before Him to name Him, The Father is the immeasurable pure light, holy and immaculate He is unutterable and is perfection in incorruptibility and much greater.


The Father is not corporeal and is not incorporeal He is not large and not small He is impossible to say in the how and what because no one can understand Him. The Father is not among the things that exist but is much greater. Not that He is greater rather as He is in Himself He is not a part of time because what is part of a realm was prepared by another. Time was not allotted to the Father since He receives nothing from anyone, He beholds Himself in light.

The farther is majestic and has an immeasurable purity, the Father is a realm that gives a realm, life that gives life, blessed that gives blessedness, knowledge that gives knowledge, mercy that gives mercy and redemption, grace that gives grace. The father doesn't posses these He gives with immeasurable and incomprehensible light. Our realm exists because of the Father it wasn't created by the Father.

His eternal realm is incorruptible, at peace dwelling in silence before everything, He is the head of all realms and He sustains them through His Goodness.

This is pretty great. Cant say anything without taking away from what You've written.

Taking a chance on seeming unthoughtful I will tell You one thing that came to mind,

Father in Korean is Abeogi. But when one translates it back it means Sky King.

Apoc of John from the Nag Hammadi Library?




THE ONE

I asked if I might understand this, and it said to me, The One is a sovereign that has nothing over it. It is god and father of all, the invisible one that is over all, that is incorruptible, that is pure light at which no eye can gaze.

The One is the invisible spirit. We should not think of it as a god or like a god. For it is greater than a god, because it has nothing over it and no lord above it. It does not exist within anything inferior to it, since everything exists within it alone. It is eternal, since it does not need anything. For it is absolutely complete. It has never lacked anything in order to be completed by it. Rather, it is always absolutely complete in light. The One is

illimitable, since there is nothing before it to limit it,
unfathomable, since there is nothing before it to fathom it,
immeasurable, since there was nothing before it to measure it,
invisible, since nothing has seen it,
eternal, since it exists eternally,
unutterable, since nothing could comprehend it to utter it,
unnamable, since there is nothing before it to give it a name.

The One is the immeasurable light, pure, holy, immaculate. The One is unutterable and is perfect in incorruptibility. Not that it is part of perfection or blessedness or divinity: it is much greater.

The One is not corporeal and is not incorporeal.

The One is not large and is not small.

It is impossible to say,

“How much is it?
What kind is it?”

For no one can understand it.

The One is not among the things that exist, but it is much greater. Not that it is greater. Rather, as it is in itself, it is not a part of the eternal realms or of time. For whatever is part of a realm was once prepared by another. Time was not allotted to it, since it receives nothing from anyone: what would be received would be on loan. The one who is first does not need to receive anything from another. Such a one beholds itself in its light.

The One is majestic and has an immeasurable purity.

The One is a realm that gives a realm, life that gives life, a blessed one that gives blessedness, knowledge that gives knowledge, a good one that gives goodness, mercy that gives mercy and redemption, grace that gives grace.

Not as if the One possesses all this. Rather, it is that the One gives immeasurable and incomprehensible light.

What shall I tell you about it? Its eternal realm is incorruptible, at peace, dwelling in silence, at rest, before everything.

It is the head of all realms, and it sustains them through its goodness.

We would not know what is ineffable, we would not understand what is immeasurable, were it not for what has come from the father. This is the one who has told these things to us alone.


Give me another month and ill be dropping my kabbalah thread hopefully

Star for quoting my favorite library of texts

A lot of people are not familiar with the books. Its actually the first text i used to bind my first amateur made book. Coptic gnosis is deep considering their literal roots in ancient greek control during the ptolmic dynasty, where id argue egypt became a beacon of intellect and advancement.

Im going to 2nd comment with this one since its a lot more off topic.

Learning this "gnosis" (knowledge, as i would call it), i applied it to modern day understandings of science, nature and the cosmos...like a true alchemist of their day, attempting to transmute the human form (lead) to an ascended being resembling the divine form (gold).

Which lead (
) me on a platonic quest, looking in his theory of forms or even Platos Socratic Dialogue talking of life after death.

Id ask you to look up "Egg Theory". Im working at thr moment, but in 8 hours i can give the subject due diligence and craft a thread on it later tonight.

Jehovah (Insight on the Scriptures)

...

“God” and “Father” not distinctive. The title “God” is neither personal nor distinctive (one can even make a god of his belly; Php 3:19). In the Hebrew Scriptures the same word (ʼElo·himʹ) is applied to Jehovah, the true God, and also to false gods, such as the Philistine god Dagon (Jg 16:23, 24; 1Sa 5:7) and the Assyrian god Nisroch. (2Ki 19:37) For a Hebrew to tell a Philistine or an Assyrian that he worshiped “God [ʼElo·himʹ]” would obviously not have sufficed to identify the Person to whom his worship went.

In its articles on Jehovah, The Imperial Bible-Dictionary nicely illustrates the difference between ʼElo·himʹ (God) and Jehovah. Of the name Jehovah, it says: “It is everywhere a proper name, denoting the personal God and him only; whereas Elohim partakes more of the character of a common noun, denoting usually, indeed, but not necessarily nor uniformly, the Supreme. . . . The Hebrew may say the Elohim, the true God, in opposition to all false gods; but he never says the Jehovah, for Jehovah is the name of the true God only. He says again and again my God . . . ; but never my Jehovah, for when he says my God, he means Jehovah. He speaks of the God of Israel, but never of the Jehovah of Israel, for there is no other Jehovah. He speaks of the living God, but never of the living Jehovah, for he cannot conceive of Jehovah as other than living.”​—Edited by P. Fairbairn, London, 1874, Vol. I, p. 856.

The same is true of the Greek term for God, The·osʹ. It was applied alike to the true God and to such pagan gods as Zeus and Hermes (Roman Jupiter and Mercury). (Compare Ac 14:11-15.) Presenting the true situation are Paul’s words at 1 Corinthians 8:4-6: “For even though there are those who are called ‘gods,’ whether in heaven or on earth, just as there are many ‘gods’ and many ‘lords,’ there is actually to us one God the Father, out of whom all things are, and we for him.” The belief in numerous gods, which makes essential that the true God be distinguished from such, has continued even into this 21st century.

Paul’s reference to “God the Father” does not mean that the true God’s name is “Father,” for the designation “father” applies as well to every human male parent and describes men in other relationships. (Ro 4:11, 16; 1Co 4:15) The Messiah is given the title “Eternal Father.” (Isa 9:6) Jesus called Satan the “father” of certain murderous opposers. (Joh 8:44) The term was also applied to gods of the nations, the Greek god Zeus being represented as the great father god in Homeric poetry. That “God the Father” has a name, one that is distinct from his Son’s name, is shown in numerous texts. (Mt 28:19; Re 3:12; 14:1) Paul knew the personal name of God, Jehovah, as found in the creation account in Genesis, from which Paul quoted in his writings. That name, Jehovah, distinguishes “God the Father” (compare Isa 64:8), thereby blocking any attempt at merging or blending his identity and person with that of any other to whom the title “god” or “father” may be applied.

...

What Is God’s Name?

When trying to get to know someone, the first thing you would likely do is ask, “What is your name?” If you were to ask God that question, what would he say?

“I am Jehovah. That is my name.”​—Isaiah 42:8.


Is that name new to you? It may well be, because many translators of the Bible use God’s name sparingly, if at all. They often replace it with the title “LORD.” Yet, God’s name actually occurs some 7,000 times throughout the original-language text of the Bible. The name consists of four Hebrew consonants, corresponding to YHWH or JHVH, and has historically been rendered “Jehovah” in English.

WHY GOD’S NAME MATTERS

The name matters to God himself. No one gave God his name; he chose it for himself. Jehovah declared: “This is my name forever, and this is how I am to be remembered from generation to generation.” (Exodus 3:15) In the Bible, God’s name occurs more often than any of his titles, such as Almighty, Father, Lord, or God, and more often than any other personal name, such as Abraham, Moses, David, or Jesus. What is more, it is Jehovah’s will that his name be known. The Bible states: “May people know that you, whose name is Jehovah, you alone are the Most High over all the earth.”​—Psalm 83:18.

The name matters to Jesus. In what has been called the Our Father or the Lord’s Prayer, Jesus taught his followers to petition God with the words: “Let your name be sanctified.” (Matthew 6:9) Jesus himself prayed to God: “Father, glorify your name.” (John 12:28) Jesus made glorifying God’s name a priority in his life, and for this reason he could say in prayer: “I have made your name known to them and will make it known.”​—John 17:26.

The name matters to those who know God. God’s people in the past understood that their protection and salvation were linked to God’s unique name. “The name of Jehovah is a strong tower. Into it the righteous one runs and receives protection.” (Proverbs 18:10) “Everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved.” (Joel 2:32) The Bible shows that God’s name would distinguish those who serve him. “For all the peoples will walk, each in the name of its god, but we will walk in the name of Jehovah our God forever and ever.”​—Micah 4:5; Acts 15:14.

...

Don't be like these people described at Jeremiah 23:27,28:

“They intend to make my people forget my name by the dreams they relate to one another, just as their fathers forgot my name because of Baʹal. Let the prophet who has a dream relate the dream, but the one who has my word should speak my word truthfully.”

I believe the message is that we are all one and also individuals because you can't be one without being of the whole. The material splinters the whole.

My understanding of the Father is that He doesn't create He provides all that is to create and sustains all that is created.

And that is the whole idea of "Egg Theory" that the world is one spirit waiting ti be "hatched"

This actually correlates with "Divine Mother" theory which is part of the Nag Hammadi teachings. The "holy womb"

Id only ask you look it up

The Father is Love

True love, not love of the corrupted flesh and love of sinful things.

Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed," says the Lord, who has compassion on you.

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Give thanks to the God of heaven. His love endures forever.

But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions-it is by grace you have been saved.

See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

Even love has its downfall, you learn this in the Sephirots of the Kabbalah. Every sephirot has a negative and a positive.

It is the two columns of Boaz and Jachim, the pillars of mercy and severity. One cannot exist without the other.

Everyone has the Father within them…which is why we are all one. Everyone has their being in the Father and Son relationship…

The Father which is Spirit is greater, unlimited and all knowing. The Son is the Soul journey that a person is currently on. The Father limits itself in order to have this life experience as the Son and it’s our Souls that give us our individuality…

All the sephirot exist in dualities except one, that being the crown (Keter being the Father), So there exist two loves. One that exists in dualities (relative/limited). The other being absolute. Is full of inexhaustible compassion, love and bliss.
