This entire world is God's creation & there is nothing else any honest man is actually concerned with. God is the fabric of reality that brought the universe & everything in it, including us & this world, into existense. If you want to understand God, understanding the world is basically all we've got.

The only divide that I can see which makes any sense is social status vs truth. That which is only part of a person's imaginary little world vs the lasting truth of reality & existence.

But that would also kinda make the sort of people who are overly concerned about who qualifies as *real* Christian exactly the sort of status chasers that are concerned with the wrong things.

Christians do believe there are real Christians and fake Christians because the Bible tells us this.

Matthew 7:21-23

English Standard Version

I Never Knew You

21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’

Yes, I like that passage a whole lot, but it sounds to me like it is speaking of all the status chasers claiming to do things "in the name of the Lord."

Jesus didn't spend his time focused on what group people belonged to.

It seems the fabric of reality you speak of testify about the invisible attributes of God. Truth's perceived since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made.

Yet, the "man of knowledge in our time is bowed down under a burden he never imagined he would ever have: the overproduction of truth that cannot be consumed."

Greater burden is acknowledging our limitations in our understanding of truth. We like to think 'moral law', discerning of good & evil, is based in reason. But in reality its based on our shared rituals, mimetic creatures imitating one another, excusing & accusing one another, exchanging truth for lies so that we may feel safe.

Are the truth's of God limited to the planted placed, forest, glades; to flowing streams, rivers, where the oceans meet the shore; where the winds press against the mountains, sun, moon, stars spread across the skies? To animals grazing or crouching in the grass or forest, fish and bird's moving about? Are truths of God limited in the created things man brings forth from his knowledge of the natural world?

If so, let's us not forget the reality "nature is brutal...red in tooth, claw, and destroys what it creates." And the created things of man are not without its failures. Debris of mans creation's will outlast his fleshly life on this planet.

If we can acknowledge that creation testifies there is a God; why there is something, rather than nothing. Are we to understand that God has nothing to said to His creation about what is 'good', what is 'evil', what is 'right', and what is 'wrong'?

It seems in the futility of our overproduction and consumation of truth we can grow vain, perhaps even foolish in our thinking that God is impersonal.
