God has no beginning and no end and in fact that's just like all other non-existent things isn't it?

Question

UncleThesis: If they are outside of our understanding then they are meaningless to us.

multiplexity1: That's rich seeing as it is believers who describe god this way.

seed: Your personal attacks intended to discredit me don't wash, anyone can see there is not a shred of hatred in my heart for anybody.

Answer 1

Yes it never began and so therefore it can never end because it never existed.

Answer 2

We are such a small speck in the kingdom of God.
If God tells us that God has never began nor can end then one cannot say that God never existed because that goes against the first statement. To be or not to be, that is the question. But it begs the question when asked.

Therefore, instead of dwelling on the question, ask yourself, how could God not exist? Do you pay attention to how the night changes into day and the day into night? How we are in an orbit and do not randomly sway across the universe? How we are able to make decisions and how so many miracles lay before you to just look and see their signs?
One does not need a religion to see them. They are everywhere.

Answer 3

I will give your answer. But first:
You punctuated your question with 3 comments, 2 of which I wanted to touch on:

"UncleThesis: If they are outside of our understanding then they are meaningless to us."
By that logic, all of the following are meaningless to the layman because of their complexities:
Occam's Razor, the formation of hydrides, americium in smoke detectors, etc.
------
"seed: Your personal attacks intended to discredit me don't wash, anyone can see there is not a shred of hatred in my heart for anybody."
After you asked/stated in another question that life feels better when you choose not to hold yourself to any set of standards, you then told me that I need to do "more research" on instinct because my educated opinion differs from yours.
That smacks of arrogance and discretionary ignorance, which will always nullify any argument you make, regardless of the quality of content... along with having an all-caps user name, not correcting your spelling and grammar, and using a Q&A forum to push your beliefs on others as a judgmental atheist rather than as a tool of one-way education only for the asker's benefit as it was intended.

Now, your answer:
If you believe that the best-selling historical (secular and religious) record of all time is crap, then why trust other things written outside of your state or lifetime? They were all scribbled down by men also. Who is to say whether a hurricane that supposedly hit Texas in 1900 ever died out? Can you prove it ever existed without historical documentation?
You accept that the hurricane hit the coast on your faith in a written record. Without your faith in that written record, the hurricane had no beginning, no end, and never existed in your mind.
God would be just like the 1900 Galveston hurricane in your world view: non-existant.

If you believe that Yahoo Answers is about answers, then would you dare to break your profile's track record and give a best answer to one that doesn't fit your agenda?

Answer 4

Actually, given that time is a function of movement through space, any enity that existed outside of space (as God must have if we assume he created the universe) would inherently "have no beginning and no end" as time could not be applied to it.

Really, this is no different than energy (apart from the assumption that God is an entity and energy is not an entity), which can neither be created nor destoryed. For your statement to be true it must also denounce a basic scientific principle of physics.

Answer 5

God fits into the Theory of Relativity. God is described a light and light it self has no time.so hence God has no beginning or no end. because in light time does not exist. here is nice article from Chuck Colsons break point about this.

Answer 6

God has created, is running, and will destroy the Universe. God is the Origin and Destination of the Universe. God was, is, will be everywhere, God was never Created and will never die / be destroyed. God is beyond Life and Death. All religions of world teach human way to get close to God. You give your Best, God will give thy Best. Ask God for help and forgive, God will help and forgive you. Pray; Worship and Thank God for everything. Remember wherever there is Happiness in Life, there will be Sorrow. To get Happiness, you must master Sorrow. For Success in Life; Believe in Self and God, Learn from Past, Concentrate in Present, Plan for Future. Have control on, be the master of, not the slave of your body, senses, and mind. Purpose of this Life is to Gain and Share utmost Knowledge and Experience to differentiate and choose Right, Good, God against Wrong, Bad, Devil. Set your Desire level perfect or OK to be brave, no low to be coward, no high to be cruel. You have rights of Survival, Self Defence, and Freedom.

Answer 7

Good point. But it is only fair to point out that it is also true of some things that do exist, such as the set of whole numbers. (You can't say they "begin" at 1 or at 0, because the set includes the negative numbers, and they stretch to infinity.) The perimeter of a circle. For that matter, the surface of a sphere, and the perimeter or surface of any of a large class of figures. A Mobius strip.

Get my point?

Answer 8

Isn't it a wonderful life when someone calling themselves PastorSauce, takes on subjects that some of the greater minds in history have not been able to comprehend?
You are dealing with matters outside our realm.
"Beginning' and 'end' have relevance only to those governed by time.
We are. God is not.
Just because the fund of human knowledge cannot, at the moment, explain these things, does not mean they are false.

Answer 9

I made the mistake of thinking i respected You, PastaSauce. Are all the Atheists home with Monday morning flu and taking out their misery on non-atheists? Cheesh! Nobody hates like an atheist today.

Answer 10

Yes, if you refer to the 'non-material' reality field in which we are embedded. The evolution of the human brain and consciousness give us the ability to influence events in reality (reality shifts) which unfortunately causes humanity to personify deity 'out there.' Our experience of reality merely mirrors our perceptual imprint/belief system.

Answer 11

Well most, some where designed with a beginning and an end.
