Did God just randomly appear out of nothing?

Question

Was God born out of chaos? If so, does that make God's existence meaningless? Would that, in turn, make OUR existence meaningless? Or could we still give meaning to our own existence?

Answer 1

God did not come out from anywhere, rather everything else came out of nothing. God always existed and He brought other things into existence by His command. God revealed Himself to His creation and that's how we can know this. Life is meaningful if you know God. Otherwise it will be mere existence.

Answer 2

Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Heb 1:10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:

Answer 3

God was definitely not "born" out of chaos... It just is what is.

While we make chaos out of life, are we not fully functional intricate beings as well as every other living thing on this Earth?

Are we not products of our doing?

Of course we give meaning to own existence... it is our life.

If one should find that this all chaotic and meaningless, then go back to the basics.... just focus on yourself for now & when that makes sense then you can begin to understand other things. All answers lie within yourself, it's just cluttered! Do some self reflection if you seek to know.

Answer 4

We are inside a very organized clock called Universe.
You can find the answer very simply: here goes.
1. 100% = perfection.
2. Your teachers use 10% of their wisdom potential--that makes them--% wise.
3. One of them told you that this giant repetitious and perfectly calculable clock was designed randomly and you believe. So you bring your misguided belief to a forum and expect an intelligent answer?
4. Your science teachers do not believe what they tell you because they classify samples that they get from the intelligent Universe as orderly and intelligent and not derived from chaotic sites. So if the sample sites are not chaotic, then the creator of the site is .....?
5. With the above, your question is either intelligent or chaotic--you choose.
Boaz.

Answer 5

My view: God was the beginning, God is the beginning, because this time and place we believe to exist is nothing more than a thought we are the thoughts of God.

Answer 6

God has always been there the universe, and the human race appeared out of nothing, until he created it, God has no time He always was, we are the ones in a time zone, meaning we have a beginning and an end, God in indefinite.

Answer 7

Your question is based on the belief in time.

That belief assumes all things need a beginning and an end.

God is not a thing, God is spirit. Spirit is not of the physical reality so time is not a function of Spirit.

This is true whether you understand it or not.
Truth is not affected by or belief, or by our disbelief in it.
