One thing that has bothered me about the existence of a God is how one would have came about.
Often I hear the phrase "The universe exist therefore it must have been created". Okay, fair enough, but if God exist, what created him? I hear the arguments that the universe can't be infinite and can't exist forever, but why does this not hold true for a God? And IF a God exist and has existed for all time, why did he choose that time to create existence?
According to
personal theory and
faith in that theory, I understand all existence aggregate to be confined to one of
three heavens, the first, the second and third. The third is so labeled "third" only due to the fact that it stands above or in excess our own universe, (the second,) in both quality and quantity, but in reality the third heavens were
original and eternally uncreated while the second and first were both
subsequent to the third and
finitely created. This "theory" would make the third heavens, really,
the first heavens in point of seniority relative to the second and the third. I deem our entire universe to comprise only the second heavens while the first is another one
under this one, and was intended to be the home of the angels by the creation of God. It originally stood
inferior to this one in point of divine priority, the second heavens, because angels were intended to be our servants
and we their lords, an issue of great disappointment for Lucifer, his envious angels, and fuel for that misguided and ill fated rebellion. If this view or conjecture were true, it would explain the
seeming discrepancy between an infinite and eternal Creator, to whom our reconciling calculations of being are illogical, non-sensical and outright impossible. Well, how could it be otherwise for finite reasoning creatures who, like the world they were made in and for, are wholly limited in their mental resources by their very creation?
On argument of sheer principle alone, it would be possible to measure the atlantic ocean with the use of a tea cup, sufficient energy and time, but why attempt what is still, (practically speaking,) impossible? The tools of resource are legitimate tools, yes,
but they're too small for the proposed task. Even if God were only as big as our universe is, it would still be, practically speaking, impossible to comprehend Him...How much more so if He is properly infinite as the infinite realm is in which He abides?
To cast away the traditional, Biblical doctrine of the absolute eternalness of God as being absurd to all common logic is something akin to tossing a tea cup into the ocean while in a heat of frustration and disillusionment out of attempting to comprehend that ocean's volume with the use of
that insufficient tool.
You'll never succeed in understanding the feasibility of the infiniteness of the third heavens and it's inifinte Inhabitant, God the Creator, for at least two reasons:
1- Your still an inhabitant of a realm which is finite by nature and therefore you must accept of a finite existence in compatibility with the realm in which and for which you were made.
2- Even if you do someday ascend unto the third heavens, (and I hope that you do,) you will then be a perfect human being, but you'll be a perfect
finite human being and will still find an
allowed discrepancy between your comprehension of God and the reality of His infinite Being. You will gaze upon that unspeakably glorius Being in wonder, adoration and praise, but will feel no uneasiness over the "tea cup" of the worship that you have just rendered Him....It was meant to be that way and can never be otherwise.
