You wonder whether some...Thanks for your comment. <br /><br />You wonder whether something other than God can exist eternally. I address this question in my post <a href="http://bylogos.blogspot.com/2021/05/god-and-necessary-truths.html" rel="nofollow">“God and necessary truths”</a>. There I conclude that necessary truths, such as those in math and logic, pose no challenge to God's sovereignty or freedom since they are established and upheld by God, ultimately deriving from God's very character. The same thing could apply to space.<br /><br />Why think about God in spatial terms at all? Because that’s how the Bible reveals God to us. However, since the Bible doesn’t directly address how God relates to space before the creation of the physical world, I concur that answers to this question are largely speculative, as I noted in my post.<br /><br />By the way, I like to know who I am responding to, so next time please use your name (or email it to me), as per my comment rules.

I would think that means space is as eternal as God, that a thing that is not God is essential infinite. And this brings a question to my mind. Why must we think of God in spatial terms at all. I don't think that spirit has to take upon itself any kind of spatial qualities at all, and the bible doesn't shed any light on this at all. It's highly speculative IMO.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01042881028042412197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3772414331480635861.post-16073013268968970642022-10-07T19:42:05.253-07:002022-10-07T19:42:05.253-07:00Thanks, George.Thanks, George.john bylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05766117392831032432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3772414331480635861.post-30123402725220553782022-10-06T18:51:42.250-07:002022-10-06T18:51:42.250-07:00Hello Dr. Byl.
