I am sure that the Physics of time (eg., beginning /end) is different for GOD than us. Imagine a being in 11th dimension compared to us in 3rd dimension.

Colossians 1:15-16
15 The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him.

Because God is above and beyond time as we know it

He made time

But how exactly this works will always be a mystery to humans

 

[amorphous_constellation]

Well I think that when humans watch time , it might be construct, of some kind. Likely it is based on the limits of perception, as we also can't smell the whole world in one sniff, or magnify our eyes to see everything in the horizon. I made a recent thread asking about time as a construct, and I guess I might say that it could be a perceptual construct

I would say that God is not a creature. Creatures have a beginning and end to their existence. If God is not a creature, then God has no beginning to his existence.

If I were you I'd have said something like; God has no beginning and end in 'time'. 'Time' is a creation of God.

 

[Quintessence]

You can point them in the direction of the rich philosophy that buttresses classical monotheist religions and their theology, which applies to Christianity but also some other Abrahamic traditions. One of the main logical arguments for the classical monotheist god is that this god is the "uncaused cause."

See:

Cosmological Argument (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)

Perhaps thinking about why there is no answer rather than trying to answer an unanswerable question may help.

 

[Andrew Stephen]

Peace to all,

What becomes is incomprehensible using the finite disciplines of mankind. Man cannot even imagine. Except through logic, Fulfilled eternity becomes static in unfailing yet dynamic in fulfilled Eternal Love.

Peace always,

Time is relative to the capacity of our mind. Eternity exists outside of time, it has no beginning and no end.

All that exists in the NOTHING, is Positive and negative energy, i.e., God and satan, the Elohim.
