Hi Huntard,

It's even worse than that. God actually sat around for an infinitely long time doing nothing at all. Try to wrap your head around that one!
Where do you get that idea from?
Time did not exist until man invented a way to measure duration/existence.
Until then there was only duration/existence.
God Bless,

Re: love love love
Hi MR,

Yes I will now try to expand a bit on my idea of love being God's reason for creation.
Where do you get the idea from that God's reason for creation was love?
The Bible writes:
Acts 17:22 Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.
17:23 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.
17:24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
17:25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
17:26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
17:27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
17:28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
The purpose of everything was that man should seek the Lord and find Him.
That was God's plan.
God Bless,

"John 5:39 (KJS) Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me."
