[I don't presume to understand the origin of God. I'm not asking to have the origin of God explained to me. This is an unknown that will have to wait until we all get to heaven to understand. I'm just trying to put my mind around how two ideas on opposite ends of the spectrum can exist in one belief structure.]

Me neither. And I'm just sort of pondering outloud on that concept since it relates in a way to your question but I don't have any black-and-white answers either just ponderings and speculations. I'd agree with you on that...The ideas we're discussing are pretty deep and perhaps from God's point of view they are fairly simple to understand but not so much from our point of view.

By the way I am glad you are asking questions like this. It is always good to ponder things which are of God. If there's any confusion I'm sorry. The fault lies in me. The ideas fit together in my head I just have trouble with putting them into words that are understandable :)

I PM'd you with further thoughts on the matter. Please read through those thoughts carefully and I hope it helps you come to more satisfactory answers :)
