1 | Did God create Life? | Gen 1:1 | abccan | 161278 | ||
My point is: God did not CREATE life, I believe that God IS Life just like God IS Love. Therefore Life and Love (and harmony, peace ...) were NOT created. These principles are just as eternal as God is eternal. It is our job as humans to bring those principles into expression. In and by themselves they are invisible as God is invisible. Matthew 5:48 - Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. I hope this clears it up. |

2 | Did God create Life? | Gen 1:1 | kalos | 161309 | ||
I have nothing against you as an individual, but I think you are getting in over your head with all this speculation. In this thread you're getting into the origin of God. We don't know anything about the origin of God. Nowhere in the Bible does it explain or describe the origin of God. If God did not create life, then I can think of only two possibilities: (1) One is that life was here before God. But we know that nothing (no thing) was here before God. (2) The second possibility is that life itself is not a thing created. However, I'm not convinced that this assumption is true. Generally, the things that were not created are the equivalent of an absence of something. For example, sin is not itself a thing created. Sin is simply a want (lack) of moral perfection in a fallen creature. Darkness is the absence of light. Neither sin nor darkness are created things. But life is not the absence of something. So how could one put life in the same category of uncreated things as sin or darkness? I don't plan to defend what I've written here. A person can take it or leave it. For me to defend it would result in more speculation. I have no intention to debate this or to play dueling speculations/assertions/opinions. I just don't believe there is any evidence to support the notion that God did not create life. Grace to you, Kalos |
