Please tell me why you believe that is the truth. I am not disagreeing, just never heard of the possibility and want to understand the idea then see if I can find it in the Bible.

The tricky part about the "That which is nothing" that I speak of is that it doesn't exist.
Everything that does, could or would exist is god, so the only thing that doesn't exist is non-existance itself, but if non-existance is possible then it exists and it too is part of god.
The purpose of non-existance though is to form the region of existance between everything and nothing, which becomes "something". This is where the universe, form and time exist as a reality as a possibility of existance defined by what actually does exist right now, which can only be defined by the difference between everything that could exist, and that which does not currently exist. To achieve that you need the combination of full existance and non-existance together.
Why do I believe it? It just makes sense to me. The strange nature of the universe is it's unified duality. We are all seperate, but at the same time together, apart, but the same. There was a prfound "whoa!" moment when I finally understood the concept, not mentally but almost spritually, somewhere much deeper. I would say that I connected with the belief so to speak, much like many christians would say about their beliefs.
Am I open for new experiences and beliefs? You betcha! But none has resonated for my anything like this one.
