God cannot exist.

theHating
theHating: A common christian view of God is that He exists outside of time. Things that exist outside of time exist for no time. Things that exist for no time do not exist at all. Therefore, Christian God, as defined as timeless, cannot exist.

MJ59: To be an eternal being that is responsible for creating the flow of time itself, is to be immutable and unchanging. God has existed for all eternity before the creation of the world, and all of eternity after the demise of the world. The created world - from beginning to end - is like an object in the hands of God, that can be rotated and examined. God can view every timeline from start to finish, and knows the conclusion of every test. This First Cause of the Universe sits on the outside of time, looking it, effectively omniscient. But God is not subject to the laws of the Universe that it created. It holds all of time and space in its hands but it is not itself subject to time. For this reason, God doesn't change. And for another reason, too: God is a perfect being. Any change away from a perfect state in order to achieve some aim or goal must be a step towards a good purpose: but, god, in being perfect, has already attained all good ends. God doesn't consist of an eternal series of mental states: God is one mental state, unchanging, perfect and eternal1.2

The conclusions that God is unchangeable has been reached by some of the leading historical Christian theologians. St Thomas Aquinas in the second book of his Summae Theologiae concludes that god cannot change itself, or repent, or undo the past3. This is because these things are temporal events that require God to be subject to time itself; but as time is a dimension created by god, God is above and outside it3. The Bible supports this in Malachi 3:6, Numbers 23:19 and James 1:17.

The result is that God is immeasurably cold and emotionless4; much more like an automatic process, rather than like the God that many people wish exists. It seems the very concept of God verges on being self-contradictory: It is more of a principle, unconscious and non-thinking. These and other theological problems have led many to the conclusion that God simply doesn't exist.

For someone who denies the existence of G-d, you sure do spend a lot of time posting about Him. Just something to ponder.

GeraldtheGnome: Mistakes were made on this forum. If a god by the name God or by any other name has no origin and is not within the system that all within it are reliant upon then that god by any name is made up.

GeraldtheGnome: There is no such thing as a god that is capable of anything and the god named God or by any other name for that one is still imaginary.
