How About a REAL Unanswerable Question?

[SarahM777]

my brain just exploded.

Will you be able to find all the pieces?

 

[Blain]

This question makes me wonder: What if time is circular instead of linear? (God says he is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end). Well how could there be an 'end' since He is eternal, unless that end wraps around to the beginning?
What if all of this has already happened in some form or fashion? Then the answer would be "he was doing what he is doing today". Or something like that.

If I had a mind it would have kaboom but I have a question, is God in the realm of time to begin with?

I found some of it but im not touching it eeewww

 

[Called4Christ]

Oohh... touchee'! I'd have to retort with another question:

God is omnipresent. We understand this to mean that he is everywhere at once. But is He everywhere "/when/-once"? Given that He's God, I'd have to say it's entirely possible! We can't limit God to time. So He could, as you said, be outside of the realm of time, or he's throughout all of it and everywhere within a given time all at once.

How about this for an answer... ?

There are three __________ in the English Language: to, too, and two. What English word can you use to fill the blank and convey the meaning. I suggest that you can say it but you can't write it.

And we except others to be able to learn this language. I have no idea what the answer is!

Since 1/0=infinity and 2/0 = infinity; why does 1 not = 2?

There is no answer! English has no word for the sound 'tues'.

How about this one. If God was never created and he is eternal what was he doing before he made the earth and his plan for mankind? If you have eternity starting from when he began from in the beginning what was he doing in eternity before all that?

With God, there is no 'before'. He is the I AM.
So when it says 'In the beginning' it means just that...time starts, E=mc[SUP]2[/SUP] kicks in.

If God the Son played chess against God the Holy Spirit, who would win?
(hint, chess involves no chance and going first does not guarantee a win.)

 

[zoii]

Since 1/0=infinity and 2/0 = infinity; why does 1 not = 2?

lol Marc this is year 7 maths. Infinity is not a REAL number. So you have to simplify the equation to get the correct answer.
So does 1=2..well
1/0 = 2/0 >>
(1X0)/0 = 2 >>
1X0 = 2X0
therefore 0=0
so its doesnt prove 1=2

It would be like playing chess with Himself... both are God.

right, two persons of the Godhood, but who would win? Is that an unanswerable question?

You can not reach infinity using natural/finite numbers. An impossible construct...

but Infinity can reach the finite...and did!!!

Since no cow has 11 legs; and a cow has 4 more legs than no cow: why don't cows have 15 legs?

 

[Jason0047]

Goe exists in space and time and He is Eternal (Knowing all our future free will choices).

As for space: God is not static or unchanging in behavior and He occupies some type of space. For man was created in God's image and man fills up space and mankind varies in behavior so it would make sense that God would occupy space and have a noticeable change in behavior even before the creation, too. In addition, we know that the Lord can also reveal Himself to us in our physical world as a visible spirit being.

Why is this important? Well, this leads into that aspect we call time. For this all suggests that a portion of God can at least be measured; And if something can be measured, then it suggests that time exists. For time is the recording of a particular person or thing in space that can be effected by sequential change. God was not doing nothing in Eternity's past. I am sure He was doing many things. In fact, Scripture does mention a few of things He did before the Beginning (of which I mention in the beginning of my study thread). Anyways, these changes or moments in time can be recorded. This is what I would like to call a dimension of time known as Eternity. It is a special place of time that only God inhabits alone (Isaiah 57:15). For the Lord is the only One who exists from everlasting to everlasting (Psalm 90:2).

Our entire linear time is a pocket of time that is frozen to God. He can see the entire thread of our existence from beginning to end in this world and he can interact with all points in that thread (or string).

To put it to you another way so as to help you understand that God knows the future in perfect detail: Well, lets say God could have created a dream (or simulation) at a super high fast speed that would let our creation play out before Him before God actually created everything physically. The Lord our God could have simply played out the scenario of our creation in His own mind. In other words, God created molecules knowing what they were going to do. God created gravity, knowing what it was going to do. So God knew what he was going to create and God knew how He was going to react within His creation before it actually happened in our linear time (in real time).

I hope this helps.

And may God bless you all.
