paradox of the eternallity of god

[mashiaj]

considering that god has no beginning or end, its eternal, infinite, limitless.
supposing that god ceases (end) to exist now then hes mortal or finite?

the answer is no because if we start from the point that god ended and look
backwards we would see no end. therefore god has existed an infinite amount of time before his end and then god is still and be ever eternal, limitless, infinite even if god ceases to exist now.

Then infinite must mean that a future and a past must both exist in infinite proportion.

If something were to cease to exist after having an infinite time before it ceased to exist then it could not cease to exist.

Because if something were to cease to exist then there could be no relative point (being the cease of existence) to the time before that occurrence. Otherwise the time before that would be finite. There are no distinguishings between relative points in an infinite, being that of a loop. Either all true or all false, therefore implying symmetry. Any piece of information that is relative, must come from a source and be taken to a source (in respect to time), there must be a beginning and an end.

If only one of the two were to exist, like in this paradox being that of only the end, then the existence would be undefined because information would not have a cause but the effect is linear. If only the beginning existed and there was no end then is would be without cause because it would be defined by the beginning but to no means of its end. It would have to be non relational, because relation provides reason, and potential to another relative point.

So I would think of this paradox as being irrational, impossible.

An infinite will always form a loop otherwise it can't be infinite.

If one thinks otherwise then tel me, lol.

Its a trick statement, because now is always now, never in the past or the future. Or one can argue that there is no past and there is no future, so given the existence of God s/he has always existed and always will.

why proportion? are u thinking that the infinite is dividable?

ok lets assumpt that backwards its an eternallity of time and tomorrow time(whatever) ceases eternallity+1=eternallity, eternallity+6=eternallity,
eternallity+10000=eternallity, eternallity+1000000000000000=eternallity.
no matter how much time you add to eternallity it is still the same.

infinite is not dividable it is irrational, all rations are finite therefore all infinite is irrational.

sorry, proportion was a bad word, ofcourse it can't be divided.

Past and future are really meaningless terms in the realm of eternity. It seems there there is a past because we have memory of the duration of our existence. It seems that there is a future based on a consitently confirmed inference of memory of past duration transitioning into the now. In the argument that God has existed and always will exist is really just saying God exists now. It is possible that a God would be outside the realm of past present future duration and experience.

they don't exist in that realm.

There's no paradox if we consider that this ideology of an infinite existence places dimensions as individual facets of an infinite environment; the dimensions could reach a state of stagnation (ceasing to project further into infinity, but not having reached any end). The notion of infinity tends to demand that a dimension continues consistently (like time or depth), yet it is surely possible that a somewhat telescopic reach by the dimension could result in the dimension beginning an alternative mode of projection, continuing to reach out but forming a pattern similar to a sound wave, thus eventually oscillating so much so that it ceases to move forward... If light is formed by waves then a dimension such as depth, although metaphysical not should surely follow suit - considering that depth might require sight, the tip of the telescopic dimension seeing a potential for continued projection.

Time is more interesting because it is a dimension without foundation in reality, so perhaps prescribing a waveform of time is completely useless, for it does not adhere to any sense of rhythm - humans have simply assigned symbolic gestures of seconds etc.
