2 | How old is God | Rev 1:8 | ebrain | 168556 | ||
Read Revelation 1:8, also 21:6, and 22:13. "I am the Alpha, and the Omega", the beginning and the end. In order to have an age, He would have had to have a beginning, Please tell me how one who is the beginning, could have had a beginning?. I find it much easier to think of God as having no beginning, than to think of Him having a beginning. What He is saying here is that He existed before anything else did, see John 1:3. |

Hi ebrain, Part 2: Websters' defines eternal as: "having infinite duration : everlasting; of or relating to eternity; continued without intermission : perpetual; valid or existing at all times : timeless." I rather like what A.W. Pink wrote in regard to the Solitariness of God: "In the beginning, God" (Gen. 1:1). There was a time, if "time" is could be called, when God, in the unity of His nature (though subsisting equally in three Divine Persons), dwelt all alone. "In the beginning, God." There was no heaven, where His glory is now particularly manifested. There was no earth to engage His attention. There were no angels to hymn His praises; no universe to be upheld by the word of His power. There was nothing, no one, but God; and that, not for a day, a year, or an age, but "from everlasting." During a past eternity, God was alone: self-contained, self-sufficient, self-satisfied; in need of nothing. Had a universe, had angels, had human beings been necessary to Him in any way, they also had been called into existence from all eternity. The creating of them when He did, added nothing to God essentially. He changes not (Mal. 3:6), therefore His essential glory can be neither augmented nor diminished." Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
