Did God have a beginnig?

Question

Can we logically comprehend that God had a beginning?

Can we logically comprehend what the lowest number is. Some may say zero, but then there is -1, -2, -3, etc. So what is the lowest number?

I dont know, just thought I'd throw that out there

Answer 1

>> Did God have a beginnig?

        If He did, then He wouldn't be God.

God bless.

Answer 2

It would seem zero is a lack of a number. 1 would seem to be the lowest number, but fractions are lower than 1. However, fractions only represent the concept of more than 1 without diminishing the concept of 1 itself. In other words, the concept of more than 1 does not have to be established by another 1, since this feat can be accomplished with fractions each of which is less than 1. A fraction is a quantity less than a whole number. So how can one call a quantity a number? The dictionary definition of God is monotheistic.

Answer 3

God did not have a beginning. This seems illogical, but that is simply because we as mortals cannot comprehend the eternal and infinite.

There actually is a lowest number: its the lowest number you can state that people have invented a name for.

Answer 4

No. God is above time so he does not have a beginning and an end. He is eternal.

And we cannot point to a lowest number except by saying its negative infinity. The same is true for the highest number.

Answer 6

Theologians would say no. He has always been and forever shall be, but what do they know?

They don't KNOW anything. They just think they do.That's the biggest problem with theology in my mind. Guesses are accepted as fact once they've been accepted by enough people. This goes against the very nature of Truth and Logic.

It what has made me denounce my Christian faith. Organized religion is misleading and at times, morally corrupt.

In my mind, putting 100% faith into something that could POSSIBLY be corrupt is nearly as bad as putting it into something you know to be corrupt.

I can't state declarative that he even exists. The probability lies somewhere above 0 and equal to or less than 1.

Something that doesn't exist, doesn't have a beginning nor an end.

Either way, it would still be no.

Answer 7

Can we ever intellectualize God. God really becomes the acceptance of what we can never as human beings ever know cognitively. We as human beings live in a world of space and time. Perhaps space and time do not apply to what we surrender to as God. Therefore God can never have a beginning nor end as those are merely human constructs.

Answer 8

"I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty." Rev 1:8

"I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End." Revelations 22:13

God ALWAYS has been and ALWAYS will be...

Answer 9

No, God did not. But, Jesus did as he is called the beginning and "the firstborn of all creation." (Colossians 1:18)

The lowest number according to what I learned in Algebra is negative infinity....all the way to positive infinity. :)

Answer 10

God is the begining and God is the end.
the world didn't exist when God began and God will never end.
God didn't even really begin because he has always been and will always be.
we can't understand something as mind boggling as that

and zero is the lowest number because when you get into the negatives those aren't numbers they are NEGATIVE numbers
but i suppose all non negative numbers are positive numbers so idk!

Answer 11

For God, or ANYONE to have a beginning requires that they be subject to Time. Since God created space and time, He is obviously not subject to them. Therefore, He has no need for a beginning. He exists beyond time itself.
