God has always existed, but the Universe has not?

Question

Huh?

Answer 1

Please read my words carefully:
If you see footmark in the sand, you'll say that someone passed from here...
If you see a piece of dog sh*t on the ground, you'll say that a dog passed from here...
So what about the enormous universe, the sky, stars, planets, earth and all the beauty in it, doesn't it lead to that someone made it?!!!

Some people say that everything is created by itself after the big-bang... I won't ask you about what caused the big-bang, but I'll ask you a simple question:
If you take all the letters of the alphabet, multiples of them, and you threw them randomly on the floor. Do you expect (by a chance of one in infinity) to get a poem like shakespear's??!!

Can't you see how organized our universe is, the planets, the eco-system on earth, look even in your own body... Can you control your heart-beat? Can you control your breath while you're sleeping? Who stopped your eye-lashes from growing after reaching a certain length? Who told the baby turtles to move towards the sea and not to the earth after they come out of their eggs? Who taught the bird how to make nests?

My friend, think with your heart and brain. If you're still lost, think about the following:

Do you know how to play safe?
Your point:
If there's no God and you do all what you want in life, then nothing will happen to you after life. But if there was God and you were mistaken, then you'll blame yourself FOREVER...

Believer's point:
If there's God and I followed His commands in life, then I'll be in Heaven after life FOREVER. But if there was no God and we're mistaken, then nothing bad will happen to us after life...

Now you know how to play-safe, in case you're not convinced?

Answer 2

Why could the universe replace God ? God and the universe could be one ! And a technique or the different the universe got here into being. each and everything is clever in the universe - in the two macro- and micro cosmos, so it feels like the universe has a plan or is almost a brilliant plan/map and somebody could have created this map or living house. no longer something comes into existence with the help of itself. each and everything must be brought about. possibly you're able to study Thomas of Aquino. yet i will additionally turn the tables: why then, is it so illogical to evaluate that, possibly universe has continually been and has a author.

Answer 3

Yes, even modern science says that the universe has only existed since the 'big bang.'

Revelation 1:8 states:

"I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "the one who is and who was and who is to come, the almighty."

Alpha is the fist letter of the Greek alphabet. Omega is the last letter.

God is revealing the truth that He (or She) is eternal. He has been here from before the beginning (the alpha) and will be here after the end (the omega).

God is also with us for every step along the way.

With love in Christ.

Answer 4

I can't understand how God could have always existed—but that doesn't mean it isn't true! God is far greater than anything we see around us, and the Bible reminds us that He is "the high and lofty One ... who lives forever, whose name is holy" (Isaiah 57:15).

One reason we have difficulty understanding this is because even time itself was created by God. Before time began, God already existed! This is why the Bible calls Him "the Alpha and the Omega (which are the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet), the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End" (Revelation 22:13). Part of God's greatness is that He is eternal. Unlike us, He had no beginning and He has no end.

The Bible, however, also tells us another great truth about God. It is this: Before time began, He was already preparing the way for our salvation. The Bible says, "This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time" (2 Timothy 1:9). And because Jesus Christ is fully divine, He too is eternal—and that's one reason why we can trust Him for our eternal salvation.

Most of all, never forget that one day over 2,000 years ago this eternal God came down to earth in the person of Jesus Christ. He did this to prove that He loves us and wants us to spend eternity with Him in heaven forever. Do you have this hope in your heart? You can, by giving your life to Jesus Christ today.

Answer 5

Yes. Hun is right ---> we're too puny minded to grasp this YET. God will reveal this mystery in his own time and way. This has been revealed about end times:

“ Love never fails. Prophecies will cease, tongues will be silent, knowledge will pass away. Our knowledge is imperfect and our prophesying is imperfect. When the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away. When I was a child I used to talk like a child, think like a child, reason like a child. When I became a man I put childish ways aside. Now we see indistinctly as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. My knowledge is imperfect now; then I shall know even as I am known. There are in the end three things that last: faith, hope, and love --- and the greatest of these is love" <1Cor 13: 8-13>

Answer 6

The Universe, according to NASA, is 13.7 billion years old.

To your dog, you are God.

You can open the front door, he cannot.
You can open a can of dog food, he cannot.

You may be smarter than your dog, but you were able to do these things because you were much more technologically savvy than your dog.

That is the way all entities determine who to worship. Whoever is extremely more technologically advanced.

Why does your dog think you have always existed?

You were there before he was there, you have always been in his life, therefore you have always existed.

Answer 7

"Huh?"??

Let's say it together: God has always existed. The universe has not.

He created the universe. The nonexistant does not create the existant. It can't.

Answer 8

7:54 Your Guardian-Lord is Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth in six days, and is firmly established on the throne (of authority): He draweth the night as a veil o'er the day, each seeking the other in rapid succession: He created the sun, the moon, and the stars, (all) governed by laws under His command. Is it not His to create and to govern? Blessed be Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds!

32:4 It is Allah Who has created the heavens and the earth, and all between them, in six Days, and is firmly established on the Throne (of Authority): ye have none, besides Him, to protect or intercede (for you): will ye not then receive admonition?

Answer 9

It is very handy to have rules that allow one to grant exceptions to some but not others. All religions should come with that handy option.

There is only one trump card, however. If you opt for the big dogma statement, "you just cannot comprehend god's ways", that overrides all other options. You see, it is the golden ticket to pseudo-explain what cannot be rationally explained.

Answer 10

According to Genesis, God has always existed and God created the Universe. I know that it is hard to understand, but don't fixate on this. Fixate instead on Jesus. It's all about Jesus.
