Bible Question: how could God have always existed? |
Bible Answer: Kelly, perhaps it would help to put the question in the negative and ask, "How could God NOT have always existed?" Because if He hasn't always existed, well then who made Him? -- (and who made whoever made God?) Very quickly we find ourselves in a gargantuan boon-doggle from which no amount of finite reasoning is able to rescue us and set us straight. We simply don't have the capacity fully to understand the concept of what we have come to call eternity. We are finite, time-oriented beings. God is infinite, transcendent, and eternal. He is not governed by time; He created time. God's eternity has no past tense or future tense. God the Father and God the Son both speak of themselves as I AM...... Do we know everything about God? Of course not! Do we know everything we need to know about Him in order to be able to praise and glorify Him for ever and ever? Absolutely! --Hank |
