Why did God take so long to create everything?
Akira329:
Like Dennis said, lets not forget patience and longsuffering.
Neither one of these attributes of God wouldn't mean anything without a great passage of time.
Compare the longest time you had to wait for something you really wanted compared to God waiting for the salvation of his children.
Big difference!
Has anyone ever considered we will have to wait for an equally long time or something similar?
If ruling and reigning in the kingdom means having the responsibility to save others how long will that process take?
Has this crossed anyone's mind?

Good catch, never thought about that.
Not to be Captain Obvious, but more and more I see there's something special about Patience.
"Knowing {this}, that the trying of your faith works patience.
But let patience have {her} perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. " James 1:3-4

That is a great question, Antaiwan. It's a very high calling. I would imagine it would take as long as it takes. I think of Paul and everything he went through with the shipwrecks and imprisonments, stonings, the churches, the messenger of Satan to buffet him, and still he was of the opinion that they were all light and momentary afflictions. That was some patience that was working in Paul!
