Since something can't come from nothing, and God is something, where did God come from?

Answer 1

God hails from Cleveland.

Answer 2

"Something can not come from nothing" is a true statement in the physical realm. As God exist outside that realm, in what is called the spiritual realm, that principle does not apply. You can see the same idea in the physical and the soul realms. In the physical, I would need time to get from New York to Chicago, and I will arrive there in the future from when I started. That is a physical law. And I could not be in New York and Chicago at the same time. But in the realm of the soul (or mind) I can go from New York to Chicago instantly, and arrive in the past for the Chicago fire, the present, or 1000 years in the future. I can even arrive in places like the hospital on ER that does not exist.

The same idea applies in the spirit realm. The laws that govern God transcend the laws of the physical realm. After all, he made them so they have to be inferior to him. So he can exist without a creator, as will as be present everywhere in time and space with the ability to pay exclusive attention to each individual, but still be in control of the whole universe. Try that in the physical realm.

Answer 3

1) You're assuming there was ever a time of "Nothing".
I understand the assumption but it may be invalid.

2) You dont actually know that Something cannot come from Nothing. IF there was a time of "Nothing" then, even if you dont believe in a god, something emerged from it.

Space is a vast, unending "Nothing" dotted with little somethings called Galaxies. It may be, in this Universe, that Nothings eventually produce a Something.

Answer 4

All truth comes first by being a follower. Someone becomes educated by listening and following the teachings of someone who has come before them and has shown them the way. Perhaps one then takes what they have learned and applies that knowledge gained and builds upon it by perhaps hypothesizing a new belief and most likely fails in many attempts to prove this belief until one day they discover a way to repeat the proof and this theory becomes widely accepted as truth. At least until another comes along and proves it to be false.

Or, someone just chooses to take what someone else tells them and accepts what they have been taught blindly as truth.

Both sides of the argument are so arrogant in believing that we (humans) somehow have all the answers as to what is and what isn't real. Just two days ago, Pluto was a planet and today it isn't. Several hundred years ago, the world was believed to be flat and today we know it isn't. When Science proves God isn't real, when will the next person come along and prove God is real? For the record, I don't care what side of the argument you are on, both sides have flaws. You have to, you're not perfect, you're human.

Answer 5

That saying is true in all cases except where God is concerned, if you think about the saying is really a paradox because then you would have to ask: "then where did that come from?" infinitely.
Therefore, God is the beginning & the end, the alpha & the omega. God simply is & always was.

Answer 6

So God...where did you come from? Did someone create you?

Isaiah 42:10b Before me there was no God formed, and after me there continued to be none.

Jude 25 to the only God our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, might, and authority for *all past eternity* and now and into all eternity. Amen.

Answer 7

God IS.

I used to ponder this as a child - it kept me awake at night and made me afraid of the dark and death. I kept wondering what IF God hadn't been made? Who made God? etc., etc.,

I never came up with any answers then but now I know that God IS and that He was listening to my concerns then and has been answering them at the appropriate times in my adulthood.

God does not have to explain Himself to us because He is the uncreated Creator and we are the creation and sinners at that.

But He wants to be in a personal relationship with each and every one of us. If you want to KNOW Him He will gladly help you. If you merely want to know ABOUT Him then you are pretty much on your own.

The Bible is God's Word to mankind, written in human language so that human beings can understand it. Try reading a Bible like The Daily Walk Bible from cover-to-cover. I find that one very helpful for the explanations of things that don't seem to make sense to me.

Answer 8

You can try reading most philosophers from Plato to Kant and more. Each of them can tell you something new.
The answer lies in your definition of g*d. By monotheists it is believed to be the supreme reality, he can not be a consequence he can only be a cause by his nature. Omniscience, omnipotence, omnipresence, perfect goodness, divine simplicity, and eternal and necessary existence are it's qualities in christian-like religions. G*d is the origin of all by it's entity.
And by the way don overuse logic in this matters - won't help you for sure.

Answer 9

eternity. our brains cant comprehend that because we're only human and everything is put into a time bracket for us so we struggle to think outside of that. Its also all about faith. Id rather believe God is there and he put this world here with purpose and reason than believe the world came out of nothing and we're just an accident. you've heard the expression 'think outside the box' (?) imagine humankind is the box..........Gods greatness is outside of it because hes so far greater then we are.

hope this helps...........contact me if ya wanna ask more :)

Answer 10

Well something CAN come from nothing. In physics it's called the uncertainty principle. If something couldn't come from nothing, then where did all the stuff in the universe come from?

However, our definition of nothing is not really nothing. The nature of reality is such that even if something looks like nothing, there's really a lot going on there. God is the name that uneducated or superstitious people give it, but really it's just a physical truth about our reality, like gravity or magnetism.

Answer 11

no matter how you look at it, god or no god, there is an uncaused cause preceding the effect known as our existence. follow the chain of command back, cause, effect ,cause, effect etc..eventually you come to an uncaused cause. you could believe that the first cause is a collection of gases; if you are unscientific. the laws of thermodynamics tell us that the cause has to be qualitatively and quantitatively greater than the effect. in other words, you cannot have gases explode to create a fully functional universe with matter and living beings. thats like throwing to paper clips together and creating a boeing 747.
