Who sits on the left hand of God?

a reply to: Baddogma

No he has tentacles ready to slap you.

They gamble on how humans will act, sort of like a card game. God and the devil were waging bets on Lot, does anyone thing they are going to be any different with the rest of us? Must be at least four at that table gambling on us.

Look to the kabbalistic tradition's tree of life to see which Sephiroth, or emanation of God corresponds to which part of "the body of GOD". Right, left, hands, feet, crown etc. Also, I have been a long time lurker and watcher on this site but this is my first "post". I hope I can lend valuable insights into at least some of these discussions!

Well if he/she/it is omnipresent and/or infinite, there would be no side?

Not sure God has hands. Well, we all have hands and are a part of God, so it has those hands. If I was the sum total of all reality and master architect of the cosmos, not sure I would need hands.

Actually, with You.

I believe the idea of the "right hand" of God would probably be a metaphor

So.. no one sits at Gods left hand...

IF God has hands for that matter

The question is, which right hand.

a reply to: Astyanax

You did read the Op right?

This is the first sensible answer you will get.
"Sitting on the right hand" is a metaphor meaning "second in command".
Obviously a metaphor because the Biblical God is not physically sitting and has no physical hands.
So there is no need for anyone at all to be "on the left hand".

Didn't i just say that?

Sorry, I wasn't even looking at the rest of the thread.

a reply to: luciferslight

As some already pointed out, nobody sits on the left or right of God.

It is not until we get to the third emanation of God that choice is presented to archetypal man. This is the Fall from Eden or the "Abyss" on the Tree of life. Only at this point does the snake come along.

a reply to: Akragon

Good point. The question then would be ‘which left hand?’

You still have a choice though.

a reply to: luciferslight

Nobody because God isn't real.

a reply to: Kalixi
And reality is just a figment (of your imagination)?

a reply to: CovertAgenda

No.

My imagination.

No one sits to the left or right of God - there is nothing but God.
This is God - this that IS.
Is there a left or right to what is actually happening?

What is happening IS BEING all there is!
