A few weeks ago my youth pastor talked about something that really challenged me. I've heard every Bible story. I've been taught all the morals. I know the prophecies and how they are being fulfilled, and I have all the usual verses memorized. Therefore, it's rare that I ever learn something totally new at church.
Have you ever asked something like How can God be forever? When was He born? Who created Him? Well, I sure have asked myself—and others—that question. Up until recently, the answer has been God is forever, and there's no way to really understand that. In general, I agree, because we cannot ever understand the power of God.
However, my youth pastor said some things that got me thinking: God doesn't live in our time zone. He doesn't get up when the sun rises or go to bed at dusk. He doesn't have tomorrow, and there wasn't a yesterday. There's no tonight, and there isn't an hour from now. There are no minutes. There are no seconds.
The past? God is there right now. The future? God already has been there. God is experiencing every moment—past or present—right now. He doesn't have time. He doesn't feel fatigue, and He doesn't have memories, per se. Everything in happening right at this very moment, and that is how it will be for eternity past, present and future. When we as Christians die and get to be with our Savior in Heaven, we'll probably be like that too. There won't be time. There will only be Jesus.
Where are the Bible verses to back all this up? I don't really have any. I cannot prove any of the above, but I find it interesting. It stretched my thinking.
Do you agree with my post, or should I be cast out as a heretic?
