Bible Note: [quote from Skritt] "concerning God being good, you say that He is above good, but how so? what does that mean? So since the only thing that existed eternally was God himself... without characteristics? was he as formless and void as the earth before creation? He had no characteristics at all? explain yourself." ***********END QUOTE************ "Good" is a description, it also insinuates the opposite if "bad/evil". God is beyond that, there is nothing that is opposite of God. You cannot limit God to "good" because he is more than that. "GOOD" is limited, God is limitless. "So since the only thing that existed eternally was God himself... without characteristics? was he as formless and void as the earth before creation? He had no characteristics at all? explain yourself." God is before everything, He is before space itself. Imagine no space, no time, no planets, no light, NO anything. Absent everything else there is still something, always has been, always will be, it is the eternity of God. Oh, it just so happens "0" proves that mathematically. Also, I never said all sin comes form God. |
