84 is the creator or master of God’, is in fact wrong because such a question about God should not arise. The concepts of Divinity and being created are mutually exclusive; it is logically impossible to combine the two. The term ‘God’ has to be reserved for the One highest of all, and the term creation infers the existence of a Higher Being who has the capacity to create. Therefore, these two concepts cannot be combined in any way. Calling someone ‘created’ implies that we believe in the existence of some higher being, who is its creator and master. Thus, if ‘God’ is created, inev- itably there should be a being above ‘God’ who is the creator of ‘God’, master of ‘God’, sovereign over ‘God’, and one who sustains ‘God’; in short, one who is above and superior to ‘God’ in every respect. If there is truly such a being then that higher being is God, not the so-called subordinate ‘God’ who is created and possessed and governed. No wise man can use the word God for the subor- dinate being in the presence of the higher being. Think and think again: you can call a being God only as long as you regard Him as uncreated. As soon as you introduce the concept of him being cre- ated, you are compelled to accept the existence of a superior being above him, who should be the creator and master of the former. This immediately transfers the status of God from the subordi- nate to the superior. In short, the being who is determined to be created cannot be God; the being who is his creator and superior will be called God. So it is established that one being cannot be both God and the creation. It is impossible for a being to be God as well as created, and so, if we accept a being as God, then the question of His creator is totally irrational. Third, I would like to respond to this doubt, though it is abso- lutely beyond question. Let us suppose for a moment that God
