Everyone I ask will say that God has always been, even before the realm of time. But if God has no beginning, would that mean that there once was a point that time did not exist or is time like a circle or something? Could time just be human perspective that our feeble minds fail to comprehend a world without? Comments are appreciated.

Sorry, I just don't have the time to answer this question.
Hey, wait. I think I just did.
Time is something the human mind constructed to help separate and order events that it perceives. We see everything as cause and effect and naturally assigned a name to this progression and developed a means to measure it.
God exists outside of time. If time is represented by a slow moving river, then God is the river's banks, in contact with and seeing every part of the river at every moment.
Gosh, that took no time at all to answer.

Here's the way I see it, I have always agreed that our minds our not capable of comprehending no beginning and no end. Because life itself practices the concept. We are used to something starting and ending. It would be difficult to ask, what was before God, because he was always there. How was God created? He was always there. There is something about this that no man can completely comprehend, we can perceive the concept, but cannot even come close to actually understanding it. I sometimes wonder what would happen if you went back before the beginning of time. Well if we both agree, time is not a tangible concept. Time is a period passing, so there will always be time, whether one is there to keep track of it or not. So if there was a point where God didn't exist it would have to be before time, but there is no point before time because it is an intangible continuem. Therefore, God must have always existed. No one can clearly grasp the concept of an eternity. It would be logical to think that sometime, time must end, and so should God, but that won't happen, God is forever. There are weak minded people who try solving this by coming up with the conclusion that death is the end of life. Little do they know, their soul will still live on for an eternity, with the only variable being, where? I hope this helps!

time has always been. don't think that when they made the first clock, that that's when time began. it has always been, clocks were just used to measure time. We would be able to survive without time, depending on your personality. If you were sloppy and wreckless, you probably could not survive without it. And no, no point of time where it did not have the essence of time. God and Jesus have always lived. Our minds (except the very complex ones!) cannot comprehend forever or beginning. But you just have to believe the answers you get from your questions

Well, I dont believe in God. But I do believe in science, and that says that probably there was no time before the Big Bang. And if there was, it doesnt matter, because whgatever happend then and there will never have any influence on what happens here, because well never reach the end of the universe, which is incidentaly the beginning.

Hello try not to be confused. you better you side. The God's path or in believe of God you need to be as foolish. If you try to set the beginning of time with God, you may start to ask that he himself might be crea..... o o that is so vast.
But as for science, time needs some reference or occurrence to be measured from. Therefore the thing is that from where are you going to measure? if the answer is from none, then there is no such time.

BINGO! Time is a human concept that attempts to understand or interpret certain aspects of existence (if indeed there is such, see "being and nothingness" by Jean Paul Sartre) and exists only in that context unless you believe in "GOD", in which case, I wish you good luck with concepts in general.

there is an interesting concept about zero time. Zero time means movement in real space without any movement in in real time. The theory is that if you could move greater that the speed of light; you would move through imaginary time. Imaginary time is the same as real space, imaginary time is not real time in reality no time has passed. There is one particle that can move faster than light its called tachyons. Tachyons are particle faster than photons (light).
