Defining God ... Was God 'nothing' ? What is 'nothing' in the pure sense ?

Question

According to Saint John's Gospel..

In the beginning was the word, and the word was God and the word was with God.

We also have God referred to as the alpha and the omega. The first and last.

Could the solution to this definition be 'nothing' ?

That is nothing in the infinite perfect sense. Existed only in the beginning and will exist in the end in that perfect concept.

Once 'nothing' creates something, does something exist within 'nothing', where nothing has no time and space ?

What are the powers of 'nothing' ?

Now caution I am not saying God does not exist, perhaps not in a physical sense in this dimension but God is.

Remember 'nothing' does not exist in the pure infinite sense, because God created the Universe and everything else in it..

This definition at least makes the atheists half-right...

Answer 1

god: "bill?" "bill?"
me: "um, yeah?"
god: "nothing."

to state that 'nothing' is in a bag, because we cannot see anything in a bag, is just our way of saying that the bag is empty of strawberries, eggs, marbles, etc. we are not suggesting an absolute vacuum or void.

'blind faith' suggests that believers should believe. i won't fault people for that. i find it hard to fathom that people can believe a god was always there (infinitely), yet atheists are fools to think that the mass of the universe was always there.

what created your god? 'nothing'...he was always there.

furthermore, to think that a creator would need accolades from us is childish. are we that full of ourselves?

i have not yet acquired the power of gods, however, i did stay at a holiday inn express last night!

Answer 2

Say for instance there is absolute nothing in a bag, then not only is that bag empty but it cannot be filled because there is no space to fill, nothing in a sense becomes something (like the number 0) and two things cannot be in the same place at one time. Nothing cannot create because you cannot create something when you have nothing to create with (0 x anything is still 0 ). There is no absolute nothing because God can always create something. The definition needs no solution because it is the solution, one of the ultimate absolute truths, that before anything was there is God and that God is Creator of all. God creates from absence or lacking because he has everything.
In the beginning is a statement of man trying to wrap his mind around eternity. God is before any beginning that man can think of but being as short-lived and small-minded as we are we have to start somewhere

Answer 3

initiating with 4th paragraph each and each of mine matches with the argument you improve. your premise is that the international isn't eternal i'm no longer particular why the 2d premise is even there yet once you get into calculus you study that: [infinity - a million] < [infinity] as [infinity]/[infinity - a million] > a million i do not believe spontaneous ?era?(the note for this escapes me) in spite of the indisputable fact that the element is that your statement, even consisting of your definition of a reason, remains unfaithful. If it has no reason and would as such be led to through something, yet jointly given any set of initial situations, it has an fairly low chance, there will be an ever increasing quantity of power yet no longer countless. This premise calls for the conception that there turned right into a time of advent(the international isn't eternal), also that there changed into nothingness earlier that aspect(vast bang believes there turned right into a spotlight of count number and power). I thoroughly agree yet the element is that maximum folk do agree we do not understand sufficient about quantum mechanics and as such we proceed to analyze it. i do not see how this statement both debunks quantum mechanics or proves God. If something it exhibits how both are depending upon faith and neither were shown. From what you assert right here, i'm assuming you mean to assert that God can not be shown yet is extra likely than different beliefs about advent? that would nicely be real yet i'd like you to reveal logically why God is extra likely.

Answer 4

This is peculiar. How do you arrive at "nothing" from all the predications ascribed to the subject (God)? A non-existent subject would have no such properties, but since the descriptions provided does predicate some properties of God (his being the alpha and omega, the first and the last, etc...), it doesn't follow that God can be "nothing".

Answer 5

Saint John is referring to the always present God. Omnipresence, which is the opposite of nothing.

Atheists have an unenviable obstacle in proving that God does not exist, which requires the proving of rationality of nothingness.

Christian explanation to existence are the basic laws of physics in science, (Newton) and the basic tenets of belief in Faith. Both are strong proofs of God and His existence.

God has no time or space because He is all things, even those things that reject His Being.

Answer 6

So , when was the beginning?, And when is the end? With the concept of no time and space, Could God have existed for millions of years?. And could he exist as an entity forever?. I think so!.

Answer 7

I don't define God as "nothing."
