The Uncaused First Cause

The God of the Bible has some of the same attributes of Aristotle’s “unmoved mover” and many, if not all, of the attributes cited by great philosophers and theologians such as Augustine, Aquinas, and Anselm. In order to grasp that kind of God, you may need to renew your mind. If you are used to conceiving of God as a big angel or an old man in the sky, then drop the word God for a minute and simply think of the God of the Bible as the Source and Sustainer of all things. The Source and Sustainer of all things is:

▶️ Self-existing: not caused by another; the foundation of all being
▶️ Infinite: unlimited; the completely maximized or actualized Being
▶️ Simple: undivided in being; is not made up of parts
▶️ Immaterial: spirit; not made of matter
▶️ Spaceless: transcends space
▶️ Timeless: transcends time; eternal; had no beginning and will have no end
▶️ Omnipotent: all-powerful; can do whatever is logically possible
▶️ Omnipresent: everywhere present
▶️ Omniscient: all-knowing; knows all actual and possible states of affairs
▶️ Immutable: changeless; the anchor and standard by which everything else is measured
▶️ Holy: set apart; morally perfect; is perfectly just and loving
▶️ Personal: has mind, emotion, and will; makes choices.

They removed the squeaky marker sound! Thank you!

A painting has a painter. A sculpture has a sculptor. A song has a composer. A building has a builder. And creation has a Creator.

Thank you for listening and editing out the squeek this is really helpful!

[ChrisHoDJI]

Perfectly explained, just a little too quick before most people read what is written. Slow it down a little please 🙏🏼

[servant--jesus]

Awesome video well done and thank you for all your hard work saints. May the grace and peace of Christ be with you and your families always. 🙏

[daddada]

Quick answer & direct to the point with basis..

[delrey]

I thought, again this video. But then i thought hey maybe they did it to take out the skweaky sound.😂 Once again we love the uncaused first cause. ✝️❤️

[henkboosman]

All praise to the Most High. He who is! Existence, literally. I am that am. Meditate on this

[nigerianprince]

The squeaky marker was annoying, this new sound is actually satisfying. Thanks for fixing that, but the main point is the content in the video, I love it! I have no doubt in Jesus and never will!

[sirroelsblog]

That is why "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" is true. 😇

[costcothug]

I'd like to see an animated Dr. Turek explain everything instead of a hand with a marker.

Energy cannot be created or destroyed. The universe is not running out of energy. Energy is being more homogeneously distributed. The problem is that we do not know for certain if the expansion will continue or whether it will turn around into a big crunch. We know too little about cosmic origins to state anything about causation. The fact that we don't know is the only intellectually honest position.

[restorationacresfarm]

Yes very well done, you guys honed it in the first one was very triggering and distracting with the marker sound hahah

“Do you believe in the scientific impossibility that nothing created everything?” I don’t! Nice and helpful video.

[g.alistar]

The origin of matter out of non-matter is clearly not one of these natural events, because it is an inconceivable phenomenon for which we have no experience whatever that would serve as a guide to understanding it by analogy. It is inconceivable to us that matter never had a beginning; and it is equally inconceivable to us that matter came suddenly into being out of nothing. These are really the only two alternatives, and both are simply inconceivable. Yet one of them must be true.

[revelations_of_god]

The universe is a construct. Of the perfect mind. Because the origin, the uncaused cause should be Perfect. Why? Because if we assume its not perfect it would mean it does not contain everything, so it has some "parts" in it and some that are "outside" (otherwise it would be perfect) so its not uncaused. I.e. anything imperfect is causal, but perfectness is uncaused. Thus the origin of everything that exists - is Perfection, God, Absolute who contains everything in his consciousness (in a very specific order)

[LinebackerTuba]

It should be noted, that many scientists will promote a quantum vacuum as the first eternal cause, others would pitch a model based off of the B theory of time to avoid a beginning, and others would suggest that past infinite oscillating universes are still viable.

There are responses to these views, but it is important to be aware of them so that you don't take Frank's beginner level argument as a knockdown argument for the existence of God.

[IATube]

True, thanks for making these videos!

You don’t get to solve a mystery by appealing to an even bigger mystery and then demanding we can’t question it.

That is both a special pleading fallacy and an argument from personal ignorance.
