  • A question as to the eternal existence of the Abrahamic God?

    I can't quite wrap my mind around the concept of having existed forever past, based on the mathematical principles of infinity.

    If this God has existed for an infinite amount of time, then there would therefore have to be an infinite amount of time before an event would occur, and would thereby never happen.

    Here's a visual aid for my question

    Without a start before what something had not existed (i.e. the God then being created, after which he could do things), how could anything happen, for there would be infinity before something could happen.

    Do any of the religions worshipping the Abrahamic God have a explanation for how this works? I'm a little lost.
