One of my younger in laws who reside in the UK recently told me also that he is an atheist and does not believe in the existence of God because there is no proof for it. I took time to do a little research and I found out that there are also people who goes to church but ask the same question about the existence of God before the creation of the earth.
If God created the whole universe and the only reason why we read the bible and obey the rules and laws as provided in it is to see God one day and live with him in eternity, who then is this God and where was He before the beginning of the time.
Discussing this with me is Mr Alamurin Sunday, a journalist and a Sunday school/Bible study teacher at the Redeemed christian church of God, Precious people's parish Oyo province one, Ibadan.
RL: you are welcome sir, thank you for your time
RES:Thank you ma
RL: With your experience as a christian, who is God
RES: God in the real sense of faith is the almighty, He Created everything we can see today. There are different attributes of His personality that makes Him God one of it is that God knows everything and He made it possible for us to come to Him, another personality is that God knows all things and above all He is a supreme one. He has power over the heavens and the earth and no one can question his authority.
RL: Genesis chapter 1v 2 says "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth, In this simple sentence is many implications. Since "it says in the beginning, it implies that time did not exist before the creation of the earth so where was God before the creation of heavens and the earth?
RES: That is a very big question which no one one can easily answer. This is because God is a spirit and He is unsearchable and where God was before the creation of the earth has remained a misery to anyone. He is not a man who we can say that he was living in a particular place before the heaven and the earth was made because he is a spirit and he is older than time, space and the universe itself.
RL: Richard Dawkins, a renowned atheist thinks he has the ultimate proof that God does not exist, to him if God created a complex universe like this earth, wouldn't it take a more complex entity to have created God? In the light of this who created God?
Res: You are trying to say that a creator must have a creator too. God is a self existence personality, nobody created him and no one has any explanations as to His beginning.
RL: What was God doing before the creation of the earth?
RES:Where God was before the beginning of the earth remains a misery. No one can answer that out rightly and no one has ever seen God. God is a spirit and nobody can say how the spirit works even when God wanted to show Himself to Moses, Moses could not behold His face. God is present everywhere. This is because He is a spirit.
RL: How can I can I convince an unbeliever that God really exist?
RES: First of all to convince an unbeliever about the existence of God, ask them to explain how our eyes works. As tiny as the eyes is, it can see many things at the same time, only a Mighty God can make that possible and then our brain. The scientist have done so much to create a computer but it can never work like the brain which works faster than any computer. The human brain can process over one thousand words in seconds.The presence of the creatures of God like sun, moon and the like, the earth and water is another reason to believe in the existence of God. water is colourless and no one can live without water. One should be able to see all this and realize that no man could have made all that possible and this is enough proof of the existence of God.
RL: Thank you so much again sir God bless you.

NO CONTROVERSY GOD IS GOD AND THERE IS NO LIMIT TO HIS POWER BECAUSE HIS EXISTENCE IS UNQUESTIONABLE. Alamurin.
ReplyDeleteGod is real and there are so many evidence to that effect.even Jesus christ confirmed it in so many places. When God has created everything he called the angels and said let us make man in our own image.this means God was and has being before the heavens and the earth began.for those who do not believe they need the Holy spirit because it is actually not easy to believe what you cannot see.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your contribution God bless you
DeleteThe first verse of the bible reads" In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1). This means Time is a created entity and a study of this verse reveals that God created time, space and matter on the first day of creation week.This means there was a physical entity and there were events before time began. Remember when Moses asked God what he should say if is asked of who sent him to deliver Israelites from the oppression of Egypt in Exodus 3:4, God said to Moses " I AM WHO I AM. Thus shall ye say to the children of Isreal "I am has sent me to you"
ReplyDeleteIt is absolutely a mistake to talk about what God was doing before creation because the bible records that God exist in eternity and the concept of time did not come to be until day one of the creation week.God was not created, He is the uncreated God who is from everlasting to everlasting and for those who do not believe in His existence, let them read Ephesians 1:4 "Just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love" and Titus1:2 which says" In hope of eternal which God, who cannot lie promised before time began"
This is great, thanks
