If you believe in God, where do you believe he came from?

Question

I'm not looking for a debate on whether God exists or telling anyone if I believe myself, just wondering if anyone has a philisophical theory on how a creator was created.

Answer 1

our concept of time is our's and not God's....God is the Begining and the End

Answer 2

This is for the people, who say to them selves where did god come from!
I can not comprehend why the human mind can not answer this question yet i could at the age 12!(17 now)
This is my theory
0+0+0=0
Nothing still makes more nothing.
The more nothing you have the more nothing you get.
Now the people that concept god put what i call a 1 into this problem.
Like so.
0+1+0=1
Now we have the problem of only one being.
If god knew all he would be more then just that 1, he could make every 0 turn into whatever he wanted, i have answered your question there is much more to this theory, but at least i hope the people who ask the question.
Where did god come from is an irrelevant question.Nothing can not making something unless it collapses, which is another one of my theories called CON!
Now you know god could exist now can he positively exist is what i have you to figure out in that problem.
I am not god, and i don't understand why a man or women that has lived 32 years doesn't know the answer to this question?

Answer 3

Well it is said that God, whether he exists or not, is the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end. He always was and always will be. Infinity does in fact go back unto itself, much like a circle, or a sphere. God is the circle of life? Nothing convincing there, so I will posit my own theory based on absolutely nothing more than simple cerebral meanderings.

God was an outcast of a higher order. He was created by another to whom no human shall understand, nor accept. Holding true that God always was, it is my notion that this higher order had cast our known God into perdition. God would be damned to float in limbo forever and ever. An eternity would somehow expire until God had created the heavens. This higher order was not of the nature of our present God. It did not possess the goodness of our God, or if it did, it wouldn't appear so when our God is the symbol of complete goodness in the mind of believers. God also does state, quite suspiciously, that we are not to put any other God or Gods above him, for he is a jealous God. I always wondered whether that meant there are in fact other Gods, or why would he have said it? What other Gods? Even Zeus is the Greek spelling of what later became Deus in Latin, which is where the word deity stems from. Even Zeus could be perceived as the one God, and Apollo, Athena, and all the others could be perceived as angels. Granted, Zeus did have a mother and father, as well as brothers Hades and Poseidon. My point being that God states to not look towards other Gods as if they were actually in existence when they are said not be. So perhaps God had a creator to which he was banished from for eternity before he begat the heavens.

This however is a very linear thought and raises the question as to where the higher order came from. It may make more sense that God was around forever, because the only way a human can perceive eternity, and even visualize it, could not be linear. Linear eternity is a confusing jumble to encompass in the mind. We can visualize eternity as circular, or spherical. A two dimensional circle or even a three dimensional sphere is completely unto itself, just like God supposedly. You can see the infinity in these shapes. They have no start, nor stopping point. However, you add the fourth dimension of time, and once again this gets confusing. As time appears linear and the laws of entropy state that everything will eventually break down over time, as well as the fact that the output of energy will always be less than the input. Proving perpetual motion to be a myth. So the question now is, "What continues to generate God?" How has God generated himself when first he needed to exist in order to make himself exist? It makes no sense.

Perhaps he just simply is. God, like Buddha, is awake, and that is all.

Or, perhaps the best answer to this is to look at the laws of entropy and presume that there is no creator as defined in the biblical sense. We have a long way to go in understanding our universe before we could even attempt to understand God. I try to understand God by understanding the reasons people believe in myths. I think understanding the psychology of the human brain could best lead you on the path of understanding God, since God seems to reside solely in the minds of us meek humans.

Answer 4

If the Creator comes from something else, then I suppose He is lower than the person who actually created Him.

God has no beginning and no end. He is the Ancient of Days which signifies His rule from eternity's past to eternity's future. The letters Alpha and Omega are a title for God because they also signify that He is timeless.

God is removed from our concept of time, therefore does not age or die. Neither was He born. He simply Is. That is the reason why He told Moses, "Tell them that I AM sent you."

In our human experience, everything has a beginning and an end so we try to rationalize God into our schema. A finite mind cannot justify an infinite, intelligent, and loving Creator. We simply have to accept this fact as one which we cannot explain.

Answer 5

I believe that beyond it all lies one faction and i would like to overload the word reason to name it. Think that whatever exists or doesn't, on whatever logic it resides is subject to rules. Everything is subject to rules. These rules are the reason and reason makes these rules. It simply exists and nothing can be more basic than this nor go beyond it. It resides in all things. You can confound it with God yet it can be very well beyond it or one and the same. In this theory you can't assume God started at a time since reason thus God existed even in the lack of existence if there were such a case. I'm not assuming that God has a conscience similar to what we humans would normally perceive. I'm not assuming this God is alive or conscious at all. With this you can assume the existance and posibility of paralel universes, gods or whatever. They all subject to rules, or reason. Reason is beyond all. In the void there is one rule: nothing exists but this rule. In chaos there is one rule: there isn't any rule except this one.

Now i ask you: do i believe in God? Is belief necessary?
This theory is so basic that u can believe or not it would exist anyway, proven or not by by and to conscious beeings. You have to believe in infinity if you are assuming God was created :)

Answer 6

We just have to take the word of God in the bible, that as An Almighty having no beginning and end. That is just it. If you try thinking how a Supreme Being could have existed without a beginning, then your mind would simply balk at the idea because as humans we are only perceptive of things having a beginning. The mysteries of God is His alone to understand.

Take care

Answer 7

The Creator didn't need to be created, because He always was!! It is only our finite minds that think of things in terms of our limitations. For instance, how old is God? He isn't any age, because age is a measure of time, and He created time, so He's outside of time. Hard to wrap the brain around it, isn't it? Easier to just accept it and move on to more important things, like where will you go when you die?


Much Love!!

Answer 8

God is the greatest creation of human mind.If the image of God would not have been created, there would be so much chaos and frustrations in the society.How could we have explained the un-explainables? God was not created by accident.It came into existence through deliberate thinking by humans; for the good of human being.

Answer 9

God was ever present and will be there even if this universe exists or not. It all depends on whether you assume god as a shape or not. If it is having a shape or form or has any characteristics then he/she is also likely to be destroyed with universe. Hence, in one section of Hindu philosophy assumes god to be a shapeless, formless and without any characteristics but only supreme consciousness.

Answer 10

He did not come from anywhere, He has always existed. He is not created, but is The Creator so he transcends both time and place, otherwise He wouldn't really be God.

Answer 11

God has always been, always will be. We are not supposed to understand everything...it's beyond our comprehension right now. God is timeless and never needed a beginning nor will He ever need an ending.
