Tao Te Ching Chapter 4: Our Creator - Taoism of Lao Tzu translated into Biblical Scripture

Empty and formless, God created the heavens and earth like an empty well streaming with life and never ceases to flow. Hence, if you fill an empty container with water, it will never overflow no matter how much you do it because its capacity has no limits. It will just continue to produce streams of water that never cease to flow. The “emptiness” is not the same as “nothingness”, for the infinite depths of God is the seed of Creation. Thus, there appears to be nothing, and yet God contains everything. God blunts the sharpness, unravels the knots, soften the glare, and mixes the dust to create the heavens and earth. In other words, God separated the light from the darkness, separated the water, formed the sky and dry ground, produced the vegetation, created creatures of the sea and land, and in his own image, he created man and women.

Everywhere you look God is always present, the invisible God who is hidden in our hearts. His Spirit was always near and now living in us. 1 Corinthians 6:19, 19Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; In the beginning, the Spirit of God hovered over the waters of the earth, so he can be close to us. God lived beside us when he asked Moses to make a tabernacle with the cherubim to be placed in the sanctuary where God dwelled with the Israelites. Now, God’s spirit lives within us when he sent his only Son in the flesh to be a sacrifice for our sin. Dying on the cross, the curtains of the tabernacle separated and the spirit of God was released to the world. Jesus, the Lord our God lives intimately within us to give us his unfailing Love and carry us through our troubles. The spirit is the element in humanity which gives us the ability to have an intimate relationship with God. Whenever the word “spirit” is used, it refers to the immaterial part of humanity that “connects” with God, who Himself is spirit. John 4:24, 24God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.”

Colossians 1:17, 17God is before all things, the creator of the heavens and earth, the beginning and end. “He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. Revelation 22:13, 13I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
