Who created God?

Question

Religion explains everything but this question. If there is a God, how did he become about, and what was he doing before he created life? Why are there planets without life, he has had plenty of opportunities to put the perfect and sin-free existance there, he could start all over, but there is nothing??? How can we believe in something if our questions cannot be answered? You say 'trust in him' 'have faith', but how many of us trust something a)we don't understand and b) has flaws in it
And if Adam and Eve really existed - and the apple was eaten - why do the rest of us have to suffer for it?
It's almost like having the one kid in class who mucks up and everyone has to do detention, or if someone one country does something wrong, it's 'declare war against the whole country' is this right??? No matter how much faith you have, you will never have a perfect life.
It's so much easier just being responsible for yourself and not believing.

Answer 1

Why waste your time pondering over questions that are based on unfound/sound information, and why waste your time pondering over moronic, nonsensical theories (such as the existance of god)????

Answer 2

No one created God - God is uncreated. He always was, is and ever shall be. As for what He was doing before He created life, this is an internal mystery of God and not something we humans are privy to.

As for starting all over to create the perfect and sin-free existence, that seems to imply that God made a mistake. He did not make a mistake in creating life here on earth - even human life, even though those humans sinned. God did not create man in perfection - perfection is the final stop of the journey. He created man with free will, in His image and with the potential to attain to His likeness, which is perfection. In other words, He intended for us to cooperate and be co-creators of our own perfection by learning to be like Him. There is no need to start over on a new planet or whatever other place you have in mind for that - the human race has already been perfected through Jesus Christ, both perfect man and perfect God. It's up to each one of us as individual people to attain to that measure of perfection through living the life in Christ and having Christ dwelling in us.

As for the rest of us suffering because of Adam and Eve, it's not just a question of "doing detention" because someone else messed up. Humans today commit the same sin every day, every hour, every minute, that Adam and Eve committed many thousands of years ago. That is the sin of egoism, self-love and worshipping the created over the Creator. So we suffer for our own sins, and the sins of everyone else - all my sins affect you, and all your sins affect me. Why? Because we're all in the same boat - one human community, whose actions and reactions all affect one another from the first people down to the last. If one's parent is an alcoholic and abusive, and one turns out to have all kinds of emotional problems, depression, what have you, does anyone consider it strange? No - when they learn that the parent was an alcoholic, they just say, "Ah, that explains it!" So why should it be strange to you that the race of man, descended from fallen men/women, should be born into a condition of sin? It all depends on how you understand sin. When you understand that it is not a crime - something to be legally guilty about - but rather a sickness, a "genetic" disease that disfigures and harms, then you understand why the rest of us "have to suffer" for the sin of Adam and Eve - and why our own children "have to suffer" for our sins, and so on.

As for being responsible for oneself and not believing - well, it may seem easier in the short run. In the long run, however, it is much harder. And I doubt that it even really is easier in the short run. Does it truly make one's life any easier? You still seem to have many questions that are unanswered for you. That can't be very easy - can it?

Answer 3

Dear God, did anyone create you?

Before me there was no God formed, and after me there continued to be none. I-I am Jehovah/ YHWH, and besides me there is no savior; Isaiah 43:10b,11.

Go look up all the stars and galaxies, and creations of outer space, and think about how much time it could have taken to create them.

About Adam and Eve, we inherited only what they had. For example, they did not have purple skin in their genes, so we could not inherit that. Likewise, they did not have 'perfection,' so we could not inherit that either.

Never say never. The Israelites could not enter into the promised land for their lack of faith. Likewise today, the promised land-Paradise is imminent, and who will enter in? Only those with faith.

Jude 3 Beloved ones, though I was making every effort to write you about the salvation we hold in common, I found it necessary to write you to exhort you to put up a hard fight for the faith that twas once for all time delivered to the holy ones.

4) My reason is that certain men have slipped in who have long ago been appointed by the Scriptures to this judgment, ungodly men, turning the undeserved kindness of our God into an excuse for loose conduct and proving false to our only Owner and Lord, Jesus Christ.

5) I desire to remind you, despite your knowing all things once for all time, that Jehovah, although he saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterwards destroyed those not showing faith.

Praise Jehovah the God of the Universe!!

Welcome earth's new king, Jesus the King of the Universe!!

And his wife, the Queen of the Universe!!

Answer 4

First mistake: You assume God exists by the rule of time. As it is not really possible for us to understand life without time, sorry but we will never truly get around the who created God question. As such, it is purely through faith that we address this issue. Second mistake: If it is easier not believing, then why are you concerned?

Answer 5

No one created God, He always has been, Him and the angels, He decided to create man in His image. Adam and Eve didn't eat the "apple so to speak" she was seduced, how do you think they learned about sex. She tasted of the "fruits" from the tree of knowledge. The religious groups just said apple because you don't talk about "sex". She became impregnated with Cain and as soon as that happened Adam had sex with her immediately and tasted her fruits and she became impregnated again with Abel. Now we have sin. Now women have to bear the pain of birth, and man had to work for their food. Remember in the OT God was a very very jealous and avengeful God. He tolerated nothing. So sin was introduced as I said and now we all must pay for the mistake of Adam and Eve. But God did send His son Jesus so that we may now have eternal life with Him, if we so desire.

Answer 6

Pretty much what the first one said. The human mind can not understand God completely, so we just have to have faith and trust.

Answer 7

For the 10,569th time, no god, no Adam and Eve, no talking snakes passing out apples.

Man created god as a means of brainwashing and controlling the masses.

Answer 8

Surah 112. Al-Ikhlas
1. Say: He is Allah, the One!
2. Allah, the eternally Besought of all!
3. He begetteth not nor was begotten.
4. And there is none comparable unto Him.

Answer 9

Man, you rock, Tasha. Most well thought-out and organized answer I've seen in a long time. Nothing wrong with *your* cerebrum!

Answer 10

He exists outside of what we call "time." He is not constrained by it; He created it. Therefore, to say He has always been is correct, though difficult to comprehend.
