the First Cause of all beings/things has no Beginning of Existence, but Exists Eternally.
No. In Theology "eternal" does not mean "endless time". It mean "timelessness". That's very basic.
A timeless being cannot stop it's timeless existence and mark a moment by "doing" something. I learned it in Grade School.
.... like "sending his son", changing his view due his son dying etc etc. The timeless being cannot be the cause of anything,
as the causation event marks a moment in endless time ... for which there is a before and an after. That is meaningless
for a being that is eternal and whose environment is timelessness.
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell
