?The Question of Life?
« on: January 14, 2015, 03:18:35 pm »
I have found myself pondering this question more and more lately and I think it is a very interesting one because it really is the question of life.  1.) If there is a God, how is it that he came about/how can he be the first being of existence, and does a God really go along with the natural world and what we see around us day to day/all that happened before us.  Just one Ex.  The bible and Quaran are thousands of years old, but carbon dating tells us that the world is at least 4 billion years old!!!
2.) But then you flip the coin over to the atheist/agnostic/humanist side.  How can something come from nothing/was there always something and never nothing?/or was there nothing at one point and now there is something? lol  Sorry to get deep on you guys but I thought this would be a fun and interesting discussion to have to see what people's opinions are on the matter.  :rainbow: :rainbow: :rainbow: :peace:

I guess it depends on if you support bible or not.....

Did God Have a Beginning?

▪ The Bible answers that God did not have a beginning. God has always existed. As difficult as the concept of God’s eternity is to grasp, we cannot dismiss the idea simply because we cannot fully comprehend it.
How reasonable is it that we should expect to understand all of God’s ways? The apostle Paul declared: “O the depth of God’s riches and wisdom and knowledge! How unsearchable his judgments are and past tracing out his ways are!” (Romans 11:33) Our minds cannot fully grasp the depth of God’s wisdom and knowledge any more than an infant can understand all the ways of a parent. These inspired words of Paul, although primarily about the uniqueness of God’s wisdom and mercy, suggest that there are aspects of Jehovah God and his workings that are too deep for our minds to fathom. The concept of God’s being without a beginning is apparently one of them. Yet, we can have absolute trust in what the Bible teaches about God. Jesus Christ said regarding the sacred writings: “Your word is truth.”—John 17:17.
Moses said in prayer to Jehovah: “You have always been, and you will always be.” (Psalm 90:2, The Holy Bible, New Century Version) Here Moses describes God’s existence as stretching in two directions. One is toward the future. Jehovah is “the One that lives forever and ever.” (Revelation 4:10) Thus, God’s existence stretches forward into the eternal future. The other is toward the past. In other words, God was neither created nor did he come into existence. Rather, God’s existence stretches back into the infinite past.

Yes there is a God.  That is all I need to know.

We all have our own belief system and some of it might be determined by religious programming.  I don't need to analyze all the details.  It's enough for me to understand that God exists and loves each and every one of us.  As long as I'm able to pray and feel peace.....

the details are irrelevant, for me.    :heart:
Have a great day!
