If someone asked you if God is limitless how would you respond? What if they asked you for scripture stating God is infinite?

Explain how these passages show god is without limit.Dan57 said:Yes, God has no limits...... "With God all things are possible" (Matthew 19:26). "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come" (Revelation 1:8). "I AM THAT I AM" (Exodus 3:14)
I would say God can be limitless but chooses not to be. Rom 9 is full of evidence that God can do whatever He wants. Yet the rest of scripture is evidence of what in fact He does do.Administrator said:If someone asked you if God is limitless how would you respond?

I would seek clarification as to what they mean. limitless is such a broad topic, addressing it in an unorganized way will likely be un-fruitful.Administrator said:If someone asked you if God is limitless how would you respond? What if they asked you for scripture stating God is infinite?
If all things are possible with God, what's his limit? All things, anything, everything.. God is omnipotent and omniscient, he has always been and always will be. 'I am that I am", means he is that he is, and there's nothing that is outside of him. Something with a limit must have an end, but God doesn't. If you can't name something that God cannot do, then its logical to presume he has no limits. That's not to say that God has no restrictions or laws, but only those that he has imposed.Administrator said:Explain how these passages show god is without limit.
From that person, I would want clarification on 2 points:Administrator said:If someone asked you if God is limitless how would you respond? What if they asked you for scripture stating God is infinite?

That's one thing that God did not create. The fact that God does not lie, does not mean he has limitations, it just means that all righteousness resides in God, so it would be outside his character to be a liar, not outside his limitations. Just as you could murder someone, but the fact that you don't doesn't mean its beyond your limits, but out of bounds because its not in your character. Sin emanates from within an individual, not God...OzSpen said:Can God sin?
It is placing a limitation on God because of God's essence of holiness and righteousness-justice.Dan57 said:That's one thing that God did not create.

I understand that. It is called 'the first cause argument'.Administrator said:God's infinity can be shown from his uncausality. Everything that is caused has a limit and anything uncaused has not limit (nothing to cause a limit to it) God is uncaused being the Eternal I AM so God must be unlimited.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the Earth. Gen 1:1OzSpen said:I understand that. It is called 'the first cause argument'.
Now provide some biblical evidence to support such a view.

I think you are reading between the lines with these Scriptures.Administrator said:In the beginning God created the heavens and the Earth. Gen 1:1
From everlasting to everlasting you are God. Psalms 90:2
His invisible attributes namely his Eternal power and Godhead have been clearly seen from the things that have been made. Romans 1:20
How many more do you want?
I never said a word that even comes close to what you are assuming with that question.Administrator said:Oz,
Are you saying That the first Cause argument does not line up with the Biblical God?
Please enlighten me with how i am reading between the lines of these scriptures?OzSpen said:I think you are reading between the lines with these Scriptures.
