When we die, the belief of most Christians is that we go to Heaven for eternity.
I have never heard anyone claim that.
“When you die”….implies you were first born.
“Become eternal”…implies not first born eternal.
were where you before this life?
“Were where you before this life?” ….
Implies an eternal birthed life and then wonders where that life existed.
Being that you are now eternal,
“Being that you are now eternal” ….implies you were not eternal, but ‘now’ are.
this means that you have always existed.
“This means that you have always existed”….
Is setting a scenario for what no one here has claimed and yet you want someone here to defend/explain/ an unknown persons thoughts?
God IS without beginning, without ending.
God had thoughts, ideas.
God counseled (mulled over a thought God had ) and had a conversation amongst the WHOLE of Himself (Lord, God, Almighty)…and concluded the WHOLE of God IN Agreement:
Who, What, When, Why, Where, How, Order, Way……He Would CREATE and MAKE according HIS agreement amongst the WHOLE (Lord God Almighty) of Himself.
In brief…
Gen 1:
[26] And God said, Let
us make man in our image, after
our likeness:
Gen 1
[1] In the beginning
God created the heaven and the earth.
[21] And
God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
[27] So
God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him;
male and female created he them.
Gen.2
[3] And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which
God created and made.
[4] These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they [/B]were created, [/B] in
the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,
Gen.5
[1] This is the book of the generations of Adam. In
the day that God created man, in the likeness of
God made he him;
[2] Male and female
created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in
the day when they were created.
Gen.6
[7] And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have
made them.
God Thought…God counseled amongst Himself…God
Created (what He agreed with)…God
Made ALIVE / Living (what He agreed with).
What God created and made ALIVE….He shall Change, Restore, Keep, or Destroy, returning it to “the MATTER from which He created the “things”…and “take back” unto Himself the “Life” He made such things Have.
Glory to God,
Taken
