The Borderless Creator: Why Geography Cannot Confine the Divine

The critique that a faith is "foreign" or that a specific deity is not "Indian" is a common sentiment in contemporary discourse. However, when subjected to logical scrutiny, the argument that God must possess a region reveals a great misunderstanding of the nature of the God. To suggest that God is tied to a specific region is to impose human limitations on an infinite being, effectively shrinking the Creator to fit within the boundaries of a political map.


The Paradox of Territorial Divinity

If we define God by a region, we encounter a logical "shrinking circle." If God is claimed by a nation, what prevents that claim from being narrowed further? If a "National God" is superior to a "Universal God," then surely a "State God" is more relevant than a national one. By this logic, we could descend into "District Gods," "City Gods," or even "Family Gods."

When we limit the God to a particular region, we stop worshipping a Creator and start creating a mascot. A God who requires a passport to be relevant is a God who is subject to human treaties, wars, and shifting borders. When God is the creator of the universe, He cannot be the citizen of a single province.


Truth Has No Passport

We do not reject the laws of physics because they were discovered in another country or continent, nor do we claim that the sun "belongs" to the east simply because it rises in the east. Universal truths—math, science, and morality—transcend cultural, physical and political boundaries. If God is the ultimate Truth, then He must, by definition, be universal.

To label God as "foreign" is to treat the Divine like a consumer product or a political ideology. But the Creator is not an export; He is the source of the very ground upon which every nation stands. Don't expect God to come from you. Instead, you came from God just like everybody else.


Conclusion: Reclaiming the Infinite

The attempt to "localize" God is often born of a desire to protect cultural identity, but it ends up insulting the very deity it seeks to claim. By insisting God is "ours" and not "theirs," we trade the Infinite for the Tribal. A God small enough to belong to only one country is too small to have created the world.

True spirituality recognizes that while cultures are diverse and beautiful, the source of life is one. We do not bring God into a region; we discover that the region already belongs to Him. The Divine does not reside within borders; borders reside within the vastness of the Divine.

What is God's Will? A Biblical Guide

Definition: What God would like to see happen is the will of God. Why should we seek God's will? Ephesians 5:8-10 8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light 9 (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), 10 finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. Ephesians 5:17 17 Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. Scope of God’s will We cannot limit God’s will to a particular incident or particular decision in our life. But it should be applicable to our entire life. Like: At what time should we wake up? Should we take a bath everyday or on alternate days? Should we go to the office walking or on our own vehicle or on public transport? And many more like these… In every moment of our lives, we need to live out God’s will. That is why I want to stress on living God’s will but not on doing God’s will in a particular case. Already revealed part of God’s will In order to make us do ...
