Scripture says that He is "the Lamb that was slain before the foundation of the world." The real action happens in eternity, where there are no befores and afters. That's why it can be the same action, by the same Christ, the same now and forever, inasmuch as we're talking about something that goes beyond this little hazelnut held in the hand of God, known as the physical Universe.

Has to be befores and afters...Otherwise the Earth was created before the Earth was created...And I lived on that Earth before the foundation of the World...

I don't disagree that the concept of eternity is a mystery but I don't believe the Catholic religion is any where near to being close to understanding what that mystery might be...

Clearly God created time and exists within that time for our benefit if nothing else...Our time begins at the creation of the Earth and the book of Revelation tells us when that time for us will end...

I already asked this of one of your cohorts, who has yet to reply, maybe you can give it a shot.

Where was God before He created the universe?
