Bible Note: Zerotheory, there is no art to apply 'chronology' to the eternal God. God is eternal. The triune nature of God is eternal. God is transcendent. He is the sole Creator of all that has ever been, is now, or ever shall be; thus, nothing in creation, including humankind, is quite the same as, equal to, or superior to the sovereign Lord of all. I implore you to surrender yourself to Him, to accept by faith what He says in His word as perfect truth, and the way in which He chooses to reveal Himself as being in His province alone, not in ours. --Hank |
