Why don't I have a question? Why doesn't God?

Question

If a concept is needed to begin, how did an Intelligent being like God begin to question any of his concepts (or images)? If there was nothing to use to build a concept (nothing in his toolset), how did things materialize into being? Unless like a composer that creates and writes music, it comes from his genetic traits. But genetic traits come from predecessors and God doesn't have any.

Answer 1

Now THAT'S a question!....the most creative humans on the planet , great thinkers,philosophers, prophets and you and i have the honor of contemplating that very QUESTION..Like a puzzle within a puzzle and so on mirroring its self millions of times...it makes our head hurt!...but when you are out side look and wonder at the trees, plants and all the wonder full beasts ,fish , fowl, take those moments to be in awe of the thinking process you are going through, past down by your DNA-genes and just know within your self is the world....take wonder in that. some people never do . IF there is or isn`t a god, man or women, in that moment you are ''GOD''.

Answer 2

Just because this Universe had no concepts, doesn't mean God was unable to have any outside of / before it.

If we are going to believe in an omnipotent, omniscient Being, then that Being will by definition already have every possible concept in mind, and will be able to summon an infinitely dense point out of what is, as far as WE can tell, "nowhere", and blow it up into a universe!

Answer 3

Well right off you have a question, about why.
Who says God doesn't have questions?
And if you believe that He is half of the claims, why would he need to to question? Perhaps he is at a level that we couldn't even concieve what His questions even were. Like asking a 3 yr old to define quantum physics.

A concept is not neccisarily a question a concept can be the answer, or even just an idea. Humanity puts questions to things to quantify them, to better understand a concept.

WOW, do you think God questions himself?
The main line of Christianity might say something like "Who are we, to believe that God would question Himself?" From my education of whom my teachers thought God was, God would not question Himself. "His word is manifest."
As I said before, I believe we (humanity) question things to better understand them. If He already understands everything why would He need to question himself?

My guess id things began to materialize into being out of need, as most things come to fruition of idea and concept. I believe I was taught God made man because he was lonely. And made man in his own image, to have offspring for lack of a better word. To look onto a creation of His own, of Himself.

You believe that creators need to have genetic traits to create?
I have to disagree with you there. I am an artist in many fields, music not one of them sadly. But I compose pictures and sculptures from my imagination, from visions that are at times from nowhere other than inside my head.
Granted other times I am inspired by something that I has seen, or things that only I have seen in my minds eye. Like a face in the moon, many say they see one there, but descirbe it differently.
And lastly God has NO predecessors?
Perhaps, but perhaps we just don't live long enough to understand who or what might have come before God.
Hell, this solar system has only been around for a few million years, maybe God is just hitting his prime?

Answer 4

I have a question of my own.

Why do people insist on giving God human traits?

Intelligence (as it relates to life on earth) and curiosity are both human traits. And the only "beings" we know of are human. Are you trying to make god appear more human so he doesn't scare you?

Answer 5

What makes you tink God questions his concepts? Perhaps he just pulled energy out of the void to "create" tools.

Answer 6

this is too heavy for afternoon discussion

Answer 7

...Are we going somewhere with this...?
