did god need a creator to bring eternity into existence?

Answer 1

God is the creator....although,I'm sure if he needed a creator..he'd have created one!!!

Answer 2

Evolutionary Track

Aside from the occasional trysts with fate and the serendipitous encounters with fortune, I'd say that I have stayed pretty much on the same path as most humans. It seems that my destiny may be aligned with that of most mortals, who by the way, during my latest journey, I had learned much from. What I hope they have learned from me is the sanctity of Love, Understanding, Good Will and of course, the most difficult for those of flesh and blood - Forgiveness.

As it is with most of my stays here, I'm not in the position to criticize nor challenge although what I see at times provides me impetus to offer what I'd been given - Reason. Just as I had written not so long ago:

I have Reason, I have Rhyme

Pondering my thoughts,

Throughout the eons of time

Many times we are posed a question, so simple yet the most difficult to answer: Why am I here? Ah, because you belong. Simple enough an answer and it really needs no further explanation . . .

You know, I rely on you as much as you rely on me and the symbiotic nature of our relationship provides the universe with balance, although at times, it may not appear to be so . . .

Life to me, an open book

with each page, I learn something new

Yet, I await the final

the most revealing clue

Perhaps, when our fates are decided, would we learn the truth . . . eternity it beckons, so I had heard as I stood sentry-like against the winds of time . . .

Far in the distance, perhaps another void

a place where my existence

can never be destroyed

Answer 3

Eternity is ... eternal! That's why it's called eternity! Eternal means no beginning and no end. Eternity, like God Himself, never came into existence. Eternity was the state of existence before everything created came into existence.

Answer 4

God dwells in the place we finitely call eternity. Eternity is not so mucha place as it is a state of existence. Since God is believed to have existed from eternity how is it you can surmise that He must create the place of existence for himself before He can have a place to exist? This is a nonsensical statement.

Eternity is not a place. It is a state of being. God has existed for eternity. He is not an effect that requires a cause and therfore exists in the state of eternalness.

When we say that we will be with Him in eternity, that is a statement about about our being and existence. As for "place", I do not think that we can fully understand what that would entail as long as we exist within the present finite experience because finitude cannot properly understand infinity as long as its existence is outside of eternity and in the realm of our present space/time continuum.

Answer 5

The infinite recursion, who created the creator, where did God come from is unanswerable by the Church which is why they cut it off with the Beyond forever statement. That is just one of many questions they are never allowed to examine.

Answer 6

Well, according to a creationist's theory, yes. Something so incredible can not form by chance. So god would have had to have been created as well. This is a prime example of why that reasoning is ill. Everything that was created would have to have been created by something that created it's creator. And so on, and so on, and so on.

Answer 7

God needed to See Eternity to Know it. Knowing it , brought forth its existance. When one sees somthing, they experience it.
So God saw eternity , bringing forth it to see it.
And God did so , because He Wanted to see Eternity.

Just as one walks closer to a fireplace to feel its warmth on a winter day.

Answer 8

Interesting assembly of words.

Not sure what you're trying to ask.

God *IS* the creator.
What do you mean by "bring[ing] eternity into existence"?

Answer 9

NO! God was created by man.

Answer 10

eternity? you mean 'forever?' oh god! I hope not!
