Interesting Spida. The Bible and Christians in general view both God and his creation as eternal. In fact there are two words in Greek used in the New Testament for eternal. One is God, and the chains that bind the fallen angels till judgement day in hell, and the rest of the Bible concerning heaven, earth and hell even means a relative or dependent eternity. Now I used to think God was upholding creation, but I've come to think otherwise. Energy once created can't be destroyed and the universe is constantly expanding. Showing time as a sort of even if ever so slow betterment of reality. Life, Christ, growth, love, expansion, literally creation. So using this knowledge even medieval Christian monks realized with the doctrine of infinite growth in Christian mysticism, I think the Bible calls this reality eternal for a reason, especially heaven being so close to God. A Buddhist might argue, reality is relative, therefore will begin then eventually end, or even recycle, or be frozen in a past time of God but now no more, etc. because relative and dependent they don't fully understand, thinking it illusory. Illusory is more like nothingness, which absolutely cannot exist, therefore it's none. It seems God creates negative and positive polarities, but originally these were complementary, till as a Christian call it sin, or disobeying the order of God, messed it up. How I'm not sure, but perhaps God is both negative, and positive or something like that himself. Existent but able to act or create change. No one really knows God directly, so it's all conjecture. Perhaps he surpassed mind all together and is truly unfathomable. One of the reasons I believe in Jesus actually. Jesus, especially since his incarnation, is the gateway to God. The logos in general is an interesting concept. Order, harmony, unity, love, light, life, the word or workings of the universe. By aligning ourselves to Jesus we become restored, given life. I walked about all the world religions, cause the Bible seemed crazy to me as a kid. After a while though I realized I was rediscovering what it already said piece by piece. But you gotta believe first, then give it time. He will show you things that blow your mind truly miracles. Why I believe the pagan Magick inferior. Now there is Magick, but its natural to body or soul or nature, heavens energies itself. Or gulp, hell!
[i]There are no gods but God, we know him through his order, his mind, the the miracle Jesus Christ. Give up most magic, give up enlightenment and or transcendence. No one can behold God, infinite is beyond, submit and know it creates and sustains creation forever. No true limit, no true death, no true nothingness. E=MC2, and gain and sustainability are greater than loss. The universe infinitely is expanding, growing becoming better and more immortal as are we. Resist evil, for it is an excess, ultimately a lie of true death. There is hell, as the Bible says, but there is choice! Choose wisely. Human origins, cosmic life, magical creatures, heaven, hell, earth and purgatory, many religions. Fascinating indeed, but in this world, no man was like Jesus Christ, and has the worlds largest faith.[\i]
