I saw another meme some days ago about God that I am having problems thinking about.
Statement: "Everything has a creator, and God has no creator".
I always think the above as correct.
The meme continues: "Since God has no creator, God is not a thing to be created, or no thing to be created, i.e. nothing; God is nothing".
Am I a true Christian for having problems with the above? Help!
The statement is contradictory and cannot be correct. God belongs to the set/class of "everything".
A correct version: "Everything that begins to exists has an explanation for its existence".
God didn't begin to exist because if he did, then he wouldn't be God--whatever created him would be. At some point you have to have a necessary being (in the sense of couldn't be otherwise).
Thanks for your input.
Make me feel more comfortable now.
Edit:
I think I feel settled with your answer above.
But I still don't feel comfortable with any answer given for one other thread (responders made fun of the topic mostly). (here)
My pastor and friends did not make me feel wholesome about their responses.
