I believe in God, and his only son Jesus Christ!
So....where did God come from? Surely he had started somewhere...somehow?
Any ideas, or thoughts?

That is one of the greatest mysteries here on Earth...... I have always thought of that question, but God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit were always there. I believe that I will know the exact answer when I get to Heaven, because I will have divine knowledge and not human knowledge, for I will be in spirit, until I get my glorified body when the New Heaven and New Earth are set in stone.
God, Jesus, and The Holy Spirit have always been there, no body really knows where they came from or how they just always existed.

That is one of the many questions that only stand to prove there is no god. If he started somewhere then that would mean there has to be a god of gods who made the gods that people believe in. So why are you messing with the middle man gods and why not go to the top god. Well that is because someone had to create that god as well. No that goes in circles.
However there is a great chance that there was a big bang. But where did that big bang come from? Easy it is just like god. It came from all the matter in the universe crashing together and making an explosion which started everything in motion and here we are now. Wait a few more billion years and all the stars will burn out and the universe will close in on it's self again and there will be a big bang again and it all starts over. It is a circle. But still we do not know how the matter got in the universe to start with.
That is the real question of where it came from. And what is this vast expanse called the universe anyway?
One step at a time. But I am sure it was not a god.

Note that even if someone doesn't believe in God, the same mystery is there: something (process, potential for a universe, impersonal energy, whatever) always existing. Take whatever cosmology you want - even the infinite cycle of universes starting, expanding, collapsing, and another one starts again. We're still left with an incredible mystery of this process just always existing. The implications of this are overwhelming and can't be understood-- I used to try when I was a kid and would get almost into a panic state (thinking about how existence is dependent upon the fact that something always existed -- no one who has really considered this to the core of their being can walk away without being blown away and shaken). I now know that our minds can NOT grasp this; maybe a direct experience (enlightenment) gives the answer but there's NO way it can be resolved rationally.

Can you imagine an end or beginning of time? When was it that there was no time? What was there before time there had to be a moment before that? How about the end. Won't there still be a moment after that? Your logic is flawed! You can't imagine a period that there is no time, nor can you imagin an end to the universe. These things you have no trouble believing are endless. Then we christians say God in eternal and you come back and say, NO He had to begin sometime.. He is as endless as time, as endless as the universe.... Stop asking this silly question.... Jim

God comes from the aspect of ego, which finds the cause, and conditions for being right with the majority of a group who may have the same conditions.
People who don't understand the thoughts that they have and say it isn't there thoughts is another aspect in which god is created, thinking that god is speaking to them, in which is just a matter of thinking about thoughts.

Some will say go to Torah and read, "Bereshith bera Elohim...".... others will say the Vedas and Upanishads described the Big Bang as the "manvantara" and "Mahapralaya" (Great Breath) three milleniums ago .. Each of these in so saying are correct in their own ways ...
Yet I say, "Ignore them both, and formulate your own way of seeking an answer to this question" .. In that way, your relationship with the resulting "answer or speculation" will be personal...

i have chased human beings right down to furnish them money they lost, and nmot because of a god, because i have had moments even as i replaced into broke or lost money. that is empathy, compassion, and that is an inborn trait of social animals to allow cooperation truly of competition. What you experienced is data adversarial to the conception of inherent sin and would not element out or recommend a god.

If you believe in a god so all-powerful, et cetera, why must it have "started"? Gods are not hampered by time nor space. You are confusing your idea of a god with your god.
