When we examine spirit in light of these findings, we encounter an all-encompassing force attributed to EL—the Spirit of EL. But what is EL? Etymologically, it signifies strength, might, and power. Consequently, the Spirit of EL represents a potent emanation or exhalation of energy. The Eternal Spirit, as a source of power, is the origin of the universe—"οὐ τά πάντα," as Paul states—through whom all things are created (creation ex deo). In scriptural contexts, "electricity" is metaphorically equated to spirit, as it is emitted from the corporeal Substance of the Higher Power or EL, analogous to the act of breathing or exhaling.
This concept can be demonstrated by observing phenomena like heated iron or a magnet. While these are solid materials, when placed near an energy source or within an electromagnetic field, they become enveloped by light, heat, or magnetism. This "aura" exemplifies the emitted power or spirit of the Deity, while the glowing iron or magnet represents the substantive essence of DEITY. Here, we see spirit in two forms: one, unbound and luminous, and the other, corporeal and bodily. The original state of spirit is not an abstract essence but a corporeal, physical reality. It was never formless or diffuse before being condensed into physical existence; instead, it has always had a tangible, material nature.
The comparison of spirit to "electricity" highlights the dynamic relationship between energy and matter, suggesting that the corporeal nature of the Deity can be understood through this analogy. Just as electricity, when emitted, becomes a visible and tangible manifestation of power, the Spirit of God emanates from His substance, illuminating and energizing creation. The iron heated to white-hot intensity serves as a vivid example; although solid, it radiates light and heat when close to a source of energy. This suggests that the Deity, inherently corporeal, possesses an incorruptible form and substance. The passage reinforces the idea that spirit is not an abstract, immaterial concept, but rather a physical reality that exists within the framework of energy and matter.
This relationship between spirit and matter can be further explained by Einstein’s equation, E = mc², which shows that energy (E) and mass (m) are interchangeable, with c² representing the speed of light squared. This implies that energy and matter are two manifestations of the same underlying reality. If spirit is viewed as energy, it follows that it is not incorporeal but a manifestation of corporeal power. Spirit is energy in its most refined and potent form, interacting with the natural world as a dynamic force. Thus, the synthesis of light, heat, and life within the framework of spirit indicates that the Deity is the ultimate source of all existence, shaping the cosmos through His corporeal yet radiant essence, which sustains creation.
To suggest otherwise would imply the existence of an abstract intelligent power prior to the substance, or hypostasis, of the Deity, of which Jesus Christ is the current embodiment. However, the Corporeal Father has always been substance, with no incorporeal predecessor in wisdom or power. His nature is the foundation of all existence, both animate and inanimate, throughout the universe; all things are created from His spirit, which emanates from His substance. Spirit, therefore, is always subordinate to His will, accomplishing only what it is directed to do. As a result, nothing occurs by chance in the operation of the spirit.
The wisdom that ordains resides within the Father, while the wisdom that executes is manifested through the power that emanates from Him. This can be observed in the fact (which has been experimentally verified) that a person can will actions to be carried out at a distance. The will, though unspoken, can be fulfilled, and any resultant action will not be contrary to the will. Likewise, the spirit of the Deity cannot act against the will of the Deity. This is reflected in the words of Jesus: "The Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do" (John 5:19).
The distinction made by "philosophers" between "matter" and "spirit" is artificial and does not align with scriptural understanding. The Father is both matter (substance) and spirit; the matter of which He is composed is spirit. Thus, matter is eternal, though the forms of matter are not. The debate over whether spirit existed before matter or vice versa is unnecessary and indicative of a lack of understanding, as both are essentially the same.
Therefore, matter is not inherently evil, corruptible, or mortal, nor is it incapable of thought. The Divine Power is matter, but despite creating evil (Isaiah 45:7), He is neither evil, corruptible, nor mortal. There is no logical or scientific basis for the argument that immaterial things are immortal simply because they are not material. Electricity, for instance, is as much matter as a block of marble; the only difference is its form. Hence, the "immaterial" is effectively non-existent or "nothing." To claim immortality due to immateriality is to assert that something is immortal because it does not exist, a fallacy of human reasoning. The Divine Power's spirit permeates all matter, filling every atom and sustaining all creation.
