What was Gods first thought?

[timothyu]

The Almighty has no beginning and no end

That still uses time as a conceopt

No it doesn't...it is eternal. Hayah, Hoveh, Yih'yeh. Time starts and stops somewhere and can be measured in this physical realm.

 

[Monk Brendan]

This is mere speculation here but heres my thoughts and you can add in. In Genesis it starts with the saying In the Beginning God created. Now this is the account of the beginning of the creation of our world. What state was God in before he created the world? What was his first thought process if it were to be before the creation account? If Gods will always existed and he never changes then his thoughts were according to his will and he foreknew them when he created the spacetime matrix then he was at both ends of thinking and doing at the same time?

God doesn't have a "first thought".

This assumes He lives in time, which He does not.

Not according to the symbol for eternity

Time became measurable once God created the first contingent object.

 

[timothyu]

If He did have a first thought it might be 'I'm bored' and created everything through which to experience Himself

Assuming only in this perceivable universe for it may not be so in others such as Heaven

You're thinking too small. In the beginning was God. For lack of a better word, there was a "time" in which only the Triune God existed. At some "point" in the past, God created the very first contingent object. What I'm saying is that once that happened, time became measurable. It became measurable because whatever that object was, it had a beginning, and thus, change/duration became measurable. All time is, is a measurement. It's not a thing in itself.

I'm not the one focusing on our perceived surroundings.

What does that mean? Do you not think your surroundings are real?

 

[timothyu]

Do you not think your surroundings are real?

Only to us.

Only to us.

You probably think God can make a square-circle. You don't actually bring much content to engage in a conversation with. You certainly haven't said anything that would make me think anything I said in my reply #27 isn't true.

Obviously and it was never my intent to do so.

You just wanted to make a lot of contentless one sentence posts and waste people's time?

We are told to sow seeds, not go around demanding how they grow.

Well yeah, that would be eternity...

“Jesus Christ”

“Jesus Christ”

I don't get it, can you expound on that?

 

[timothyu]

Well yeah, that would be eternity...

That is a component of time

 

[Maria Billingsley]

What state was God in before he created the world?

Since God has no beginning and no ending and always was and always will be, His state is exactly the same before and after His creation. You are also asking a question that only the Father can answer not His creation, though an interesting query.
