What is God ? What did Jesus say ?

What is God ? For starters how did Jesus refer to God ? He always used the word "Father", but how do you say "Father" in Aramaic ? AB.The "Our Father" starts with the aramaic words "Abwun"
He used the letter/numbers Aleph-Bayt. That's the key to understanding What "God" is. In Kabbalah the letter Aleph+Bayt combination means the Cosmic Light within. That is what "God" is. That is what Yeshua was also referring to in Luke 17:21 "The Kingdom of God is within" Where and What is God ? Within you, within your neighbor, within that tree, within that rock. Everything is God.

Jesus said, "It is I who am the light which is above them all. It is I who am the All. - Logion 77

From me did the all come forth, & unto me did the all extend. Logion 77

Split a piece of wood, and I am there. Lift up the stone, and you will find me there. - Logion 77

That which you have will save you if you bring it forth from yourselves - Logion
