Hm, I was late in my first sub.. Things appear bugged. It was my choice of course, I wanted to sleep more while rain was pouring heavily early morning around 5am, than to get up and prepare for school. I was late, because I made it; I didn’t make it well on the recitation, because I didn’t study my notes with intention. I’m not faultless, totally not perfect. Yeah, those are some of little rusty habits that vah usually does, that she can’t easily keep away from. Weew, I’m sorry Lord.. I’m dwelling again in my comfort zone..;) But I’ll always try not to, instead I’ll try to rebuff those ease chances, through you I know can ;)
Hm, anyway awhile ago there is that something that lingers on mind, the unspoken words inside me. Our Prof in Logic said, GOD IS PERFECT, his question is “Who made GOD?” He answered his question, Nobody, but God alone. Not a Super God, Mega God, or Ultra God, not Even the God of all seasons. And slightly laughing of what he is telling, even mixing some green jokes. Honestly, I don’t want his way of teaching, sincerity is not so evident. So whenever we have discussions, I’m discouraged to participate, thoughts that behind those reasons can possibly be somewhat laughed at. I don’t know, correct me if I’m wrong, but I have been observing it more than twice. But I hope, he’ll teach more effectively as meetings go by. In my heart I know, nobody created God, because he is God. The creator of all things but not created. He is ever present, all knowing and all powerful! Or in other words like what he said, God is the uncaused cause.
Here are more explanations I found from Christian.net:
A number of skeptics ask this question. But God by definition is the uncreated creator of the universe, so the question Who created God? is illogical, just like To whom is the bachelor married?
So a more sophisticated questioner might ask: If the universe needs a cause, then why doesn't God need a cause? And if God doesn't need a cause, why should the universe need a cause? In reply, Christians should use the following reasoning:
Everything which has a beginning has a cause.1
The universe has a beginning.
Therefore the universe has a cause.
Its important to stress the words in bold type. The universe requires a cause because it had a beginning, as will be shown below. God, unlike the universe, had no beginning, so doesn't need a cause. In addition, Einstein's general relativity, which has much experimental support, shows that time is linked to matter and space. So time itself would have begun along with matter and space.
Since God, by definition, is the creator of the whole universe, he is the creator of time. Therefore He is not limited by the time dimension He created, so has no beginning in time God is the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity (Isaiah 57:15). Therefore He doesn't have a cause.
In contrast, there is good evidence that the universe had a beginning. This can be shown from the Laws of Thermodynamics, the most fundamental laws of the physical sciences.
1st Law: The total amount of mass-energy in the universe is constant.
2nd Law: The amount of energy available for work is running out, or entropy is increasing to a maximum.
If the total amount of mass-energy is limited, and the amount of usable energy is decreasing, then the universe cannot have existed forever, otherwise it would already have exhausted all usable energy the heat death of the universe. For example, all radioactive atoms would have decayed, every part of the universe would be the same temperature, and no further work would be possible.
So the obvious corollary is that the universe began a finite time ago with a lot of usable energy, and is now running down.
Now, what if the questioner accepts that the universe had a beginning, but not that it needs a cause? But it is self-evident that things that begin have a cause no-one really denies it in his heart. All science and history would collapse if this law of cause and effect were denied. So would all law enforcement, if the police didn't think they needed to find a cause for a stabbed body or a burgled house.
Also, the universe cannot be self-caused nothing can create itself, because that would mean that it existed before it came into existence, which is a logical absurdity.
IN SUMMARY
* The universe (including time itself) can be shown to have had a beginning.
* It is unreasonable to believe something could begin to exist without a cause.
* The universe therefore requires a cause, just as Genesis 1:1 and Romans 1:20 teach.
* God, as creator of time, is outside of time. Since therefore He has no beginning in time, He has always existed, so doesn't need a cause.
-I always thank God that each day of my life he makes me strong, helps me cling to the knowledgeable grounds and guides me in making wise decisions. He also teaches me to show humility, to bend myself, and to admit that at some instance, I do and get wrong. Even teaching me to forgive when someone impaired me. And the very important thing that I have to put on my mind, heart and soul, that he gives is that to have patience. To have it and to extend it with all my might all the time. Wherever I go and whatever I do. Even when my patience is going to run out, God talks to me and fill it all over again. ^^.
Really a very loving and patient GOD!;)
