A Brief Conversation

“And he is before all things, and by him all things consist” (Colossians 1:17).

You mean God was before heaven and earth? Yes!

But what about the universe itself? Yes.

And the Big Bang Theo…..Yes!

God was before ALL things and by God ALL things are put together, in order and in place.

All thi….Yes!

So if God was before all things then what was before God?

You’re asking if God was before Himself?

Yes.

Didn’t you just answer your own question?

Look, God told Moses that His name was I AM. This means that He is, and always has been. There was no “before” God, that would be impossible because He is infinite. There is no beginning or end to infinity. God is omnipresent, there is no space/time boundary to Him. God is omnipotent, His power is boundless and perfected therefore just and good.

So God is before all things and by him all things consist?

Yes.
