Why didnt God create an infinite number of humans?

[Radagast]

By definition alone 'infinity', 'eternal' etc. can't be numbered. It is a wholly different dimension than time or space.

There are different kinds of "infinity," and different kinds of "eternal."

It would take an infinite Being or eternal Being to reveal that. Who told you that? I don't find anything like that in Scripture and man does not have the capacity to know that.

Speak for yourself.

capacity to know what?

Sigh. OK, show me where in Scripture where there are different kinds of "infinity," and different kinds of "eternal".
I'll give you one to support my contention...
Ecclesiastes 3:11 (KJV) He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.

I was replying to this quote from Radagast,

"There are different kinds of "infinity," and different kinds of "eternal.""

So I was saying that man does not have that capacity to know that (being a finite being) unless God reveals it in His Word.

Not all true things are in scripture.

And our "eternal life" is obviously not the same as God's eternity. God is outside of time, whereas we will only live forever.

Eternal life (Zoe) involving quality of life is completely different from eternity, a concept meaning forever.
I thought you were saying that there were different kinds of forevers. Surely our eternal life will be different from those in the Lake of Fire forever. No argument there.

That's not accurate. Every month the tree of life will have a new fruit...that's time and there is nothing in scripture about space changing. So as I said, eternity is very numberable as we can count the months that pass...which means the NHNE eternity will grow a day at a time, a month at a time etc etc forever.

What does different kinds of infinity and eternal mean?

Not logically possible?

Then there would be no point of reproducing. He intend for us to reproduce hence how he created us.

Infinity of time, yes. Eternity implies (by normal use) time forever. But neither one HAS to be about time. When one says God is infinite, that doesn't mean he needs time to have anything to do with him. When we say he reigns for eternity, we are using our concepts to help put a handle on that concept.

'Forever' ceases to deal in matters of time when dealing with a Being who is the I AM.

Good question. Ask Radagast, he is the one I believe brought up that concept.

What about the sperm that dont fertilize an egg?

Why?

Why didnt God make us all in heaven?

As He did the angels? But even 1/3 of them fell without a plan of redemption for them. I'll settle with what I have

Gods perfect will is singleness but he knows we are but flesh. So in his perfect will we wouldnt exist?
