God is infinite (taking up all space), and eternal (existing from all time). How is there room for the Universe to exist if God is truly infinite?
Speaking of the Universe; What did God create the Universe out of? Did He build it out of some part of Himself?
If he did build it out of some part of Himself does that make Him less infinite since He used part of Himself.
If He built it out of nothing, then where did the nothing come from? If the nothing already existed does that mean that God is not truly infinite?
I will be waiting for you to illuminate all of us.
I question your post #160 where you claim God came into existence and you call that an attack??
By faith we understand that the universe was formed by God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. Hebrews 11:3
1Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind and said, 2“Who is this that darkens counsel By words without knowledge? 3“Now gird up your loins like a man, And I will ask you, and you instruct Me! 4“Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding, 5Who set its measurements? Since you know. Or who stretched the line on it? 6“On what were its bases sunk? Or who laid its cornerstone, 7When the morning stars sang together And all the sons of God shouted for joy? 8“Or who enclosed the sea with doors When, bursting forth, it went out from the womb; 9When I made a cloud its garment And thick darkness its swaddling band, 10And I placed boundaries on it And set a bolt and doors, 11And I said, ‘Thus far you shall come, but no farther; And here shall your proud waves stop’? Job 38:1-11
16For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 17For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “BUT THE RIGHTEOUS man SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.” 18For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. 20For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. 21For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures. Romans 1:16-23

1In the beginning, the Word existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He existed in the beginning with God. 3Through him all things were made, and apart from him nothing was made that has been made. 4In him was life, and that life brought light to humanity. 5And the light shines on in the darkness, and the darkness has never put it out.
6There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7He came as a witness to testify about the light, so that all might believe because of him. 8John was not the light, but he camed to testify about the light. 9This was the true light that enlightens every person by his coming into the world. 10He was in the world, and the world was made through him. Yet the world did not recognize him.
11He came to his own creation, yet his own people did not receive him. 12However, to all who received him, those believing in his name, he gave authority to become God’s children, 13who were born, not merely in a genetic sense, nor from lust, nor from man’s desire, but from the will of God.
No matter how you ask the questions or the varied answers given to you, you will not find satisfaction until you receive Him and are born from above. There is no philosophical syllogism which will work for the limitless ...

All you did was ask a bunch of questions for a reply to a question to you...
So how about you answer your own questions...
You have been victimized severely and need hugs.
Nice deflection but that STILL does NOT answer the question ealgeone is raising about your belief that God had a beginning.
Care to address that instead of demanding answers from everyone else.
