Someone posted recently that God and his divine nature must remain apart from us (with the exception of Jesus’ birth on Earth) to remain the Creator and not a component of creation. So this is the scenario I put together: Imagine God alone, by himself before angels or planets or space or time were created. There was nothing to attest to his greatness, nothing to declare his glory. In other words, nothing existed relative to his being, only in his “thoughts.” So even eternally, his thoughts of us before we came into physical existence must have been relative to his divine being. (Ouch! Something popped inside my head!)
So anyway, is it necessary for God to exist completely apart from his creation to remain divine? We certainly can’t exist without him (
Acts 17:28).
