Hi, guys —

  • Why does God exist?

Don't get me wrong, I know that God does exist; but when I asked myself why God exists,
I have no answer.

I need to know why God exists, not just that He exists.

Steven

  { I know God exists but can you give me a reason why He exists, since I have no idea? }

Mary Ann replied:

Hi, Steven —

He is The Cause of His own existence, The Reason for His Own Existence.

  • He is Be-ing.
  • He is Love, that for which all other things are made.
  • He is Good, in itself.

Mary Ann

Paul replied:

Steven,

God by nature is eternal. That means He is outside of time. He created time, as well as space and matter. As Creator, He transcends time and space, hence He has no beginning and no end;
no past or future. God simply is; He is Being and all things that exist depend on Him as its Source and Sustainer.

  • So instead of wondering why God exists, it is a more pertinent question to ask why anything else exists?

The answer to that is Love; a desire to share the eternal Goodness that God is with His creatures.

Paul
