Beyond the Dimensions We Know


Humans are limited to perceiving three spatial dimensions and one dimension of time. Yet, philosophers and theologians have contemplated the concept of “higher dimensions” to better understand the presence of an eternal Creator.

Augustine, Aquinas, Edwards, and Calvin, alongside other notable thinkers, delved deeply into the concept of God’s existence. They put forth the idea that God transcends the limitations of the physical universe and resides in a realm of being that exceeds our comprehension.

According to their teachings, God is not bound by the confines of our known dimensions but instead is the very origin of time and space. As they described, God exists in a state of pure actuality and immensity, beyond our human comprehension and earthly constraints.

C.S. Lewis employed the analogy of “Flatlanders” to illustrate how a being from a higher dimension could observe and interact with our universe. This being would have a perspective beyond our comprehension.

It is important to note that the notion of “higher dimensions” is a theological speculation rather than a clear teaching in the Bible. These thinkers used their reasoning and imagination to explore the nature of God, but their ideas are not definitive theology.

We must humbly submit our imaginations to the revelation of God in His Word. The infinite Creator remains unfathomable to our limited understanding, His majesty transcending our finite comprehension.

Yet, through Christ, God has made himself known to us, bridging the gap between the incomprehensible and the finite.
