Keypurr, Eternal means without beginning and without end. What do you not understand about that or do you reject what scripture says?

Eternal relates to TIME.
WHO created time?
Most likely the same one who created everything else.
Give it some thought BR.

Read it slower. It all relates to TIME.
Forever is a TIME statement.
So is Eternal, it is a TIME statement.
Who created time?
God through Christ did.
So before Time there was God then his Son for all things were created through the Son.

God and Christ are outside of time. They are ETERNAL. How long will it take for you to understand??? I know that you are not a stupid man, just not willing to hear the truth proclaimed.
Sorry, I do not believe in evolution, not even a little bit. But I will read the article.
Evolution? Who said anything about evolution? The article is about time.

I do not believe in open theism either.

No, keypurr.... you just make up crap.
That manuscript was originally written in Greek. But you're too dumb to know that.

That is a terribly confused article.

That is not what the early Eastern Church preaches.
Get out of the restrictions taught to you in Sunday school.

Before everything was created there was no need for time.
To have a "before" time requires time. "Before" is a statement of "when". "In the beginning" means at the beginning of recorded History, it doesn't mean that time began at that moment.
The Bible does not say that God created time. Time isn't something that was created.

I believe that time was created as a part of the physical world. Time and space are intimately connected. One cannot exist without the other.
God is eternal. That means that He has always existed. That cannot be measured with time.
