Answer 1

God always existed

Answer 2

Who Created God?
The first principle to understand is that God is not a man (Numbers 23:19). He is outside the space time continuum, so much so that he can experience a parity of duration equivalent of a thousand years buffered to 1 day and 1 day expanded to a thousand years (2 Peter 3:8). We as humans cannot do that. We must experience one day at a time. God's thoughts are not our thoughts (Isaiah 55:8). We are physical. God is spirit (John 4:24). There are spirit beings who have had no parents (Hebrews 7:3). The Father (the Most High God) was not born and has no parents. He will exist eternally into the future (Revelation 11:15). He has existed eternally in the past (Titus 1:2). Our minds are finite and we cannot conceptualize the idea of eternally into the past due to this limitation in our minds. Nevertheless we can acknowledge the fact. We, as humans have to gain power as we grow up because we are physical. However, it is the nature of God (who is spirit) to be all powerful, almighty (Genesis 17:1). His power is also inifinite (having no end).
Our existence is bounded by the speed of light. But God IS light! (1 Timothy 6:16). His Son is the light for this planet (John 8:12, John 9:5, John 12:46).
Generally physical things are superior when they are more complex. The Spirit world is the opposite. That which is superior has more simplicity (2 Corinthians 11:3). Any one who has seen Christ has, in essence, seen the Father (John 14:9). There was no need for God to be created. God is self-existent; He is the great I AM (Exodus 3:14). God has the attributes of power, creativity, and balance. It is through the sacrifice of his Son that we have a chance at salvation (Acts 4:12).
"Remember the former things of old: for I [am] God, and [there is] none else; [I am] God, and [there is] none like me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times [the things] that are not [yet] done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executes my counsel from a far country: Yes, I have spoken [it]. I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed [it], I will also do it" (Isaiah 46:9-11).

Answer 3

God always existed. And even though this is logically impossible, God doesn't have to follow logic. God doesn't have to follow any rules or laws that he created for us. God gave us logic and reason to use to try and figure out the world and Universe. But if those tools come to prove that he doesn't exist or that he is a contradiction, then those tools are no good. Faith for example does not have to follow the rules of logic, reason, or science. Because God said so. You can break the laws of the universe that God created if it helps you believe in God. It's ok. The Bible says so....

Answer 4

Easy for me to imagine God living forever into the future, but I've never been able to wrap my brain around Him existing forever into the past, too. We humans are so wrapped up in and limited by "time" that we can't easily think outside it. That said, the only answer I can give is that God existed before there was time.

Maybe the best analogy I can think of is this: can you determine anything about the nature of the cook by only studying his or her stew? I think that we just don't have enough information to answer the question.

(ps...when I was 5 I asked my best friend to kill me so that I could ask God this very question. I'm glad she had more sense than I did!)

Answer 5

If there was ever a time nothing existed then nothing would ever exist. Something can't come from nothing. If anything exists then there must be an eternal God, with no beginning. Anything that begins must have a cause. God did not begin thus does not derive from another cause.

Answer 6

God isn't human, that simply comes to exist, that's why he is god...he always existed, that's why we exist. Human measurements as time (years) can't be apply for Gods atmosphere, his time has no way to measure and how to know because we don't have goddess knowledge's to understand.
Try to give some trust without proves, like following your natural sense, to feel god.
For me god came to exist at the moment I existed, and I believe this is for all of us, so for you, god came to exist when you came too. I almost forgot to mention about the pi (the golden ratio), considered throughout history, thinkers from mathematicians to theologians have pondered the mysterious relationship between numbers and the nature of reality, a great mystery: phi, or 1.6180339887. As god pi is everywhere, in all perfect measures.
Pi is used today for plastic surgeons too, to create the beauty perfection.

Answer 7

This has been asked quite a number of times. Gods came into being out of the desperation of our ancesters trying to find a way to avoid death.
Some ancients were awed by all the things of nature and tried to explain how they all came about. Unable to come up with a good explaination they imagined some sort of super-being making everything.

Answer 8

God did not have a beginning. He always has been. God exists outside of the time system. I don't think humans have the mental capacity to understand how this can be. At least not yet.

Answer 9

In the start, there was nothing, right? Well, it can't be nothing without a projective counter, thus the nothing had to stand out against something. The something had to grow, seeing as how something is bound by the limits of time, space, and power, while nothing is not. The nothing was infinite; the something was not, so it continued to expand and project, thus creating life, and in an essence, death, as it were.

These concepts grew, obviously, and there you have it...Existance from nonexistance....

I know; it TOTALLY makes sense...

Answer 10

Everybody thinks about this question every once in a while, but we are told not to, since it can confuse us.

G-d was here before everything and created the world, people even you and me. G-d also created our thoughts and makes it possible for us to do everything that we do. He created our imagination. Thats why its impossible to know that answer. Our minds are to small to understand everything.

The answer is that G-d always existed and will continue to exist forever, even if the world would get destroyed. It is hard for us to imagine infinity, so best not to think about.
