Revelation 1:8
I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty."
He always has been and always will be.

We realize that no family can function properly without a responsible head, that no city can prosperously exist without sound administration, and that no state can survive without a leader of some kind. We also realize that nothing comes into being on its own. Moreover, we observe that the universe exists and functions in the most orderly manner, and that it has survived for hundreds of thousands of years. Can we, then, say that all this is accidental and haphazard? Can we attribute the existence of man and the whole world to mere chance.
In the world then there must be a Great Force in action to keep everything in order. In the beautiful nature there must be a Great Creator who creates the most charming pieces of art and produces everything for a special purpose in life. The deeply enlightened people recognize this creator and call him Allah 'God'. He is not human because no human can create or make another human. He is not an animal nor is He a plant. He is neither an idol nor is He a statue of any kind because none of these things can make itself or create anything else. He is different from all of these things, because He is the maker and keeper of them all. The maker of anything must be different from and greater than the things which he makes.
Imagine yourself in an aeroplane and you know it is
going to crash...
Who do you turn to for help then ?
Or on a ship in the sea, thrown helplessly up and down
by towering waves ...
There will have been a situation at one time or the
other in your life when you called upon your Creator
alone, forgetting everyone and everything else,
hoping, trusting, wishing that the Being you know in
your heart and soul that has power and control over all
things would help you. The only One you know can
save you!

"In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. The same was true in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him and without Him was not any thing made that was made." John 1:1-3
In other words, God always was Always is and always will be. At least that is what I believe. You will probably get at least 20-25 answers saying "never" or that there is "no such thing." But threw it out there for anyone to answer, and that is my answer! Hope it works for you!

When was God made? He was never made because He has always been. It is hard for our limited human minds to understand but it is true.
God IS.
He is eternal.
He never changes.
I used to ponder a similar question after the lights went off when I was a child. It really used to frighten me. I wondered ABOUT and I am sorry now that I didn't talk TO Him. I know now that He was right there with me and that He was hoping that I would speak to Him.
I know these things because every once in awhile something from my childhood fears comes to mind and I find myself saying Touche, God!
Instead of pondering questions ABOUT God, I highly recommend getting to KNOW Him. You will not be disappointed.
Reading His Word from Genesis to Revelation was the best thing I've ever done in my life.

C.S. Lewis explains that humans have such a hard time understanding the fact that God was always there because we just haven't thought of all the possibilities. It is very possible that the rule of a beginning and end only exists on earth. There was no death before the Garden of Eden, and there certainly is now. So if one rule hasn't always applied, it is possible that God has just always been.
God created man, and all of the rules that apply to us. Birth, death, life, time... and we will never begin to understand it all because we only carry a fragment of his knowledge and intellect.
I don't really worry about it, because God knows what He's doing, and that's all that matters. We'll understand it in the next life.

he has no beginning or end
(Job 36:26) Behold! God is more exalted than we can know; In number his years are beyond searching.
(Revelation 10:6) and by the One who lives forever and ever, who created the heaven and the things in it and the earth and the things in it and the sea and the things in it, he swore: “There will be no delay any longer;
(1 Timothy 1:17) Now to the King of eternity, incorruptible, invisible, [the] only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
(Psalm 90:2) Before the mountains themselves were born, Or you proceeded to bring forth as with labor pains the earth and the productive land, Even from time indefinite to time indefinite you are God.
(Psalm 90:4) For a thousand years are in your eyes but as yesterday when it is past, And as a watch during the night.
(Jeremiah 10:10) But Jehovah is in truth God. He is the living God and the King to time indefinite. Because of his indignation the earth will rock, and no nations will hold up under his denunciation.
(Habakkuk 1:12) Are you not from long ago, O Jehovah? O my God, my Holy One, you do not die. O Jehovah, for a judgment you have set it; and, O Rock, for a reproving you have founded it.

God Always Was, Is Now & Always Shall Be. He is Infinite and without begining or end because He IS the Alpha & the Omega which IS the beginning & the end. It is not humanly possible to know the answer to your question but my guess is that my answer was as good as anything that can be surmised.

GOD as the CREATOR of ALL THINGS. is also called the SELF MADE ONE that created its self out of the chaos that existed before then and gave it order. It has esisted through all etertinty.
The God/s of man were created when ever they needed somthing tangable to look at and say this is the form of the true GOD.

God is the Creator, and was therefore never created. This is something that I struggle with, trying to comprehend that God is eternal, with no beginning and no end. He is the Beginning and the End (Revelation 1:8). I cannot understand it or explain it, but I have faith that this is true.
