Thank you so much for sharing your insights, dear brother in Christ!

Truly, we mortals fall into mental gymnastics every time we try to apply our mental constructs to God.

Time, for instance, is a property of the Creation and not something in which the Creator exists. Nor indeed can we think of Him as a thing subject to being described by space/time coordinates, volume and such. Ditto for Aristotlean Laws of Logic, e.g. Law of the Excluded Middle.

Words like timelessness, spacelessness, uncaused cause of causation would be more appropriate in visualizing the beginning ex nihilo.

To God be the glory!

Well and truly said, dearest sister in Christ! So very, very true!
