How do we know that God(s) still exists today?

Christian View

The Christian Perspective

God created time (Genesis 1:1; 2 Corinthians 4:18; 2 Timothy 1:9; Titus 1:2; Hebrews 11:3; Jude 1:25).

As the One Who created time, He is inherently atemporal (or omnitemporal depending upon which aspect of His eternality we are emphasizing) (Deuteronomy 33:27; 1 Timothy 1:17; Hebrews 9:14). Given this, He is definitively always the same (Exodus 3:14; Malachi 3:6; James 1:17).

If He is always the same, He cannot cease to exist.

Many God believers say, God is timeless, or atemporal, he exists outside spacetime. But where there is no time, there can be no change. However in order to create the Universe, God would have to have an impulse i.e. the will to create it. However this and the very act of creating is a change. Yet, God is said to be atemporal. Ergo the notion of God being outside of time is incoherent.
