"The Talk" is the "Hello World" of theology. Before we we get into religious discussions, ''The Talk'' resets the way we think about reality, sets some theological expectations, and answers some of the questions thought to be unanswerable.

'''Only God'''

There was nothing outside of God, because there was nothing bigger than God <ref>[[1Ki 8:27]] But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded?</ref> <ref>[[2Ch 2:6]] But who is able to build him an house, seeing the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain him? who [am] I then, that I should build him an house, save only to burn sacrifice before him?</ref> <ref>[[2Ch 6:18]] But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have built!</ref>; no void, and no vacuum of space. <ref>If God is everywhere, then there is no place which is totally empty. [[Ps 139:8]] If I ascend up into heaven, thou [art] there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou [art there].</ref>

'''In darkness'''

He dwelt in darkness. The word 'darkness' ''khaw-sak'' [[חשך]] means 'restrained, reserved, hide, obscure, conceal'. It is a symbol of love. If you are in sin, and not getting hit by lightning, you are receiving the grace, love, patience, long-suffering of God. He is restraining himself from destroying you; covering your sin. Jesus said to stop presuming upon the grace of God and be Holy. <ref>[[Joh 8:12]] ¶ Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.</ref>

'''God created language'''

Wicked men observe that God expressed his power in words, but attribute the power to the words rather than to God. They claim that if you learn the word with it's power, you can control the thing. In novels concerning magic, the wizard learns the ancient word for fire in order to control fire. The Rabbis teach that by learning the words of creation one can nullify the works of God. <ref>They 'legitimize' the idea by saying that a Father is proud of his son when the son exceeds the Father's ability.</ref> The words do not have power. God does. The enemies of God would deceive many with the promise of power which they can never have.

'''His unspeakable name'''
