I asked this question before, but the results weren’t very conclusive. Most people just said that God wasn’t created, he just “always was”. That answer doesn’t mean anything to me. It’s just something people read in the Bible. I would like to hear an original answer to this question. If you're just going to say “the Bible says so”, then don’t bother to answer.

There is no being or thing called God which can be seen or touched. God is only a belief. If you believe God exists He does and if You believe God doesnot exist then He doesnot. However, probably you agree that there are certain phenomena like blooming of a flower or blowing of the wind which is beyond human control. Then somebody must be controlling these events. May be some power/energy which controls the nature. We say this power to be God. God is a belief created by us to fall back when things go wrong with us or Just to console ourselves that "God wished it otherwise."I feel that man is the creator of this belief called GOD.

Hi Zaradulce (is that the name of your cat?).

Well, the phrasing of your question presumes God was created. Such a presumption misunderstands the law of cause and effect, which states that every effect must have a cause. It does not, however, state that everything that IS must have a cause. God would only be required to have a creator if God was an effect. If God is not an effect, then God needs no cause. Instead, God would need to have the power of BEING in and of God's own self, not contingent on anything or anyone for being.

So can it be concluded that there is such a BEING, or God, as just described? Yes! To see this, consider that if there ever was a time when nothing was all there was, then all there would be now is nothing. By the word "nothing," I mean both in the sense of having no actuality and of having no potentiality, just in case you or someone would think, "Maybe there was a time when there was actually nothing, but potentially something, which eventually was actualized." In other words, nothing is all that comes from nothing. Thus if anything exists, then something must have the power to be, and God is a term used to identify that "something" having that power. Otherwise, all there would be now and forever is nothing.

"Who made God?"

To one who examines the evidence, there can be no doubt that God exists. Every building has a builder. Everything made has a maker. The fact of the existence of the Creator is axiomatic (self-evident). That’s why the Bible says, "The fool has said in his heart, ‘There is no God’" (Psalm 14:1). The professing atheist denies the common sense given to him by God, and defends his belief by thinking that the question "Who made God?" can’t be answered. This, he thinks, gives him license to deny the existence of God.

The question of who made God can be answered by simply looking at space and asking, "Does space have an end?" Obviously, it doesn’t. If there is a brick wall with "The End" written on it, the question arises, "What is behind the brick wall?" Strain the mind though it may, we have to believe (have faith) that space has no beginning and no end. The same applies with God. He has no beginning and no end. He is eternal.

The Bible also informs us that time is a dimension that God created, into which man was subjected. It even tells us that one day time will no longer exist. That will be called "eternity." God Himself dwells outside of the dimension He created (2 Timothy 1:9, Titus 1:2). He dwells in eternity and is not subject to time. God spoke history before it came into being. He can move through time as a man flips through a history book.

Because we live in the dimension of time, logic and reason demand that everything must have a beginning and an end. We can understand the concept of God’s eternal nature the same way we understand the concept of space having no beginning and end—by faith. We simply have to believe they are so, even though such thoughts put a strain on our distinctly insufficient cerebrums.

Revelation 1:8 "I Am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End" says the Lord, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty" The Almighty says it all. Have you read the bible? It is the word of God. There you will find all, yes all of your answers there. Read the bible from Genesis to Revelation. I had questions like that before I read the bible.

This probably isn't the answer your looking for, but here goes:

Deep in mans past he started to realize that often times things happened that their should be an explanation for but wasn't. For example, a man in a hunter-gatherer tribe is gored by a buffalo. The horns pierce the abdomen but fail to pierce the internal organs. He heals and resumes his life when every other person gored by a buffalo has died. With no knowledge of internal medicine the people of his tribe assume that he is either protected my some mystical power or that he himself is the source of such a power. This leads to hero worship and inevitably to worship of a "protector" spirit which in turn evolves, through centuries and sociological structures into an all encompassing deity; namely "god".

Have you Heard of law of Conservation of Energy and Matter ?
Similarly Spiritual energy is also always Conserved.

Creation and destruction is the Act of Changing the Shape of Matter..
Like A Bridge is Created means that an engineer Transformed the existing Earth to a shape. But the engineer did not create Earth but Earth Always Existed, It only Changed Form..

Similarly Bhagavad Gita says that God and all Souls eternally Exist and they never perish... Souls simply change body from Baby to Youth to Old age and after death again Baby..
Creation and Destruction is only Illusion of time ...
But God is not Subjected to Such Change...He is already Perfect ...
He is eternally existing as are every soul that are a part of him.

In Srimad Bhagavatam it is described that when God Created this world, then all the souls where existing and resting in his (God's) Body. and the material of creation (which is also one of energy of God ) was existing in an Inert form. But then God agitated that Inert substance and created Innumerable Universes
And the souls entered them.
But even when this Material Universes was getting created
the Spiritual Universes called Kingdom of God already Existed with God as its head.
Hope this explains..

there was a philosopher who said that if god didn't exist, man would feel the need to create him. basically, it is part of the human condition to need to believe in a higher power. some mightn't agree, but it does kind of make a lot of sense. everyone does in some way have a small part of them that needs to believe in something. even if it's just that tomorrow will be a better day.

God is a spirit. You have to live a spiritual life to understand the answer on your question.

Have you ever asked yourself why this question bothers you? Maybe God is calling you, maybe God wants to tell you the answer on your hard question.

we are born and we die. so we naturally think there is a beginning and an end to all things.but that isn't natural at all. that is how far humans are in the dark about reality.there is obviously a reality we cant even imagine.but if (you) wonder where GOD came from, then how do you think GOD feels ?
