Is God outside of time? That would depend on what the phrase "outside of time" meant. It is an unclear statement, to begin with. As I have grown in my understanding of the Bible, apologetics, logic, and argumentation I have concluded that to say "God is outside of...
Answering the question of how we can know God is real and not just a fictional character in the Bible is inherently difficult because it deals with the subjective opinions of people. What would constitute sufficient information or evidence to determine that God is...
When Moses asked God what he was to tell Israel when they asked him which God had sent him, God replied: "I Am That I Am." The ancient translators of the Greek Septuagint rendered this, "I am the being one," or, "I am the one who is." Essentially, God's response to...

Sometimes critics of Christianity, such as atheists, raise the argument that it is not possible for God to be everywhere and also be outside of space and time. But this is true only if each being "everywhere" and "being outside of space and time" are mutually...
God allows bad things to happen because it is His will to allow bad things to happen. But that doesn't mean that God directly causes bad to happen. For example, He does not want people to lie, but he permits them to lie. Likewise, he does not want people to suffer,...
