ETERNITY BEFORE CREATION.....THE NON-EXISTENCE.....of GOD!

by Terry in

before god began creating.......he wasn't a creator.. before god began creating.....there was nothing......and therefore nothing to know.. before god began creating...there was nothing and nothing to know....and therefore nothing to love.. before god began creating...he was alone with nothing to distinguish him from nothingness except--what?

his mind?

filled with what, actually?.

You have gone very quiet on this thread.

Are you conceding that, regardless of other lines of arguement you may have for the non-existence of God, this one is actually very weak if not fatally flawed?

Eternity before creation does not mean that an Eternal Being could not exist.

It means that an Eternal Being possibly hasn't created eternally.

However there is a further possibility.

An action performed in eternity or an "eternally performed" action.

For example if you asked an Eternal Being what it's first thought was, could it reply "I have always thought"

And if you asked an Eternal Being what it's first action was, could it reply "I have always been active"

If that is possible then you're initial post doesn't hold any water.

Are there no opinions here on the possibility of the existence of an Eternal Being?

?? Awake pictures

by RebelWife in

in the pictures of lala land (paradise earth), why are all the people the same height?

where are the tall people?

did they get zapped because they had an elevated opinion of themselves?

Pubsinger

I want to know "where's the whole industry behind the manufacture of plastic beach balls"

Or do they grow them organically in paradise?

Hi Enjoying Freedom!

Having a nice first day

Personally I agree but I've said to Besty and Sweetpea that we all have to find the closure that is right for us - and I totally respect and support whatever route they choose.

That said The Pubsinger Family are going to stay with Mrs and Mrs SweetBestyPeas and their Podlets at the end of the month.

However if they get DF'd we may have to shun them

(The shunning wont apply to any stray alcohol they need drinking to avoid it going off - personally I agree with the "not eating with such a person" bit but anyone who attempts to extend that to "drinking with such a man" is adding to the Inspired Word and needs pointing in the general Gehenna direction)

So are we saying that the existence of an ETERNAL BEING is impossible?

Your attendance at their commend will only reinforce the lie and misperception that they wield power!
But if you do go - have lots of fun with them!

Now who do I know who's been saying exactly that . . .

The whole of this thread is built around the premise of "BEFORE"

You don't say, however, what the object of the premise is. Without the object of the premise the word "before" is meaningless. Before CREATION.

A Creator who has not created is a what? That is my focus; Deconstructing the God idea.

You are interchanging the terms Creator and God. That would be ok but surely we're talking conceptually here and not in relation to, as you put it

an umblical attachment to a largely semitic hodgepodge called the bible.

Conceptually we're are discussing the possibility of an ETERNAL BEING.

If the ETERNAL BEING hadn't (yet) created that doesn't mean he wouldn't/couldn't exist

Eternal self-sufficiency?

The whole of this thread is built around the premise of "BEFORE"

As believers in God build around the premise of "ETERNAL" this thread is being argued on completely different premises.

The assumption here is that believers in God haven't considered the premise of "BEFORE"

Frankly that's a bit patronising, very much a blanket statement and suggests that the concept of "ETERNITY" and perhaps more relevantly an "ETERNAL BEING" needs exploring by the author of the thread.

I say "suggests" because I don't know "Terry"
