You follow a false teacher who's words are often non-scriptural and just plain weird.
So then to follow a teacher who does not teach false teachings is OK then?
Second question: Why have you never been able to point out a false teaching that I follow? Refer me to the thread in which you an atheist proved I followed a "false teaching".
You splice some words from thousands of words and don't like what was said.
That doesn't make it a false teaching.
Time is a human construct. We apply it to ourselves and the things around us for our own orientation.
In other words I think you are saying our limitation of human language to express some things is evident.
Its not the limitation of only theists.
It is not scientific minded people who are exempt from the same limitation.
Did your God have a beginning?
By definition no.
If you are an atheist because you don't believe in a God who had a beginning, that makes sense to me. Neither would I believe such a thing.
Then the God you don't believe in is not the God I believe in.
I would say by definition God is eternal.
Why then the scepticism of a universe without a beginning?
Part of the skepticism is that the second law of thermodynamics tells us that
the whole thing is gradually running down.
Triple or quadruple the estimated age of the universe and it should presently be cold dark dispersed atoms, and maybe even not that.
An actual infinite of anything doesn't exist in the real world.
Infinite is a useful concept in mathematics.
No real infinity we know of actually exists.
And I think what you don't like about an eternal God and a non-eternal universe is simply the
authority of the Creator. I think the though of divine authority raises a harsh blinking yellow light of caution and sounds an alarm of danger.
You might one day ask yourself WHY the thought of someone's ultimate authority is so objectionable to you. Do you feel it is a mortal threat to your autonomy?
