where did God exist before he created the universe?

Answer 1

in his/her/its own mind.

Answer 2

The relative concept of 'before and after' only exists in the relative worlds where time can be computed, where things have their beginnings and their ends.
In the eternity of God, such relative concept does not exist. If there was a time God existed without the universe, He is not God, just as a King without a Kingdom! How can the God without a created universe be considered as Omniscient, Omnipotent?
Scientists say the universe came into existence about 13.7 billion years ago, while the Messengers of God definitely say that God and His creation exist from the beginning without beginning to the end without end. Just think for yourself.

Answer 3

"Created" is related to "causality" - the way some events appear to follow others whilst other events don't - its called Cause and Effect.

We see the world this way so we believe that is the way things are...."A caused B to happen", for example, or "God created the universe".

Before and After is also related - but, the passage of time is an experience.

Experience is made up of many "discriminations" like this - good/bad, beauty/ugliness, health/sickness etc.

The more you look the more you'll find your world is made up of these dichotomies.

We attribute to much to these dichotomies, breaking the circle that is our holistic experience and stretching it into a length with two extremes.

There is no before and after, there is only being - no infinite or eternal being along a pathway of existence, just the here and now with lots of changes taking place.

Answer 4

What a delightful interesting insightful question!

But there IS an answer... the third heaven!

Paul was taken there once where he saw things undescribable.

The first heaven is the place of clouds and where birds fly.
The second is the space where all the heavenly bodies exist; planets, solar systems, galaxies etc.
And the third heaven is beyond all that, where God's throne sits.

Answer 5

Everything is His place...everywhere... No beginning and no end.
The created human existence is in planet earth when it was created..just a little portion of His place.. with beginning and ends.
We do not know where God`s place is because He is God and in Spirit form, and you`re just human, a matter which occupies space and live under the law of gravity.
Does it answer your questions?

Answer 6

God existed within Light beyond the Light, Void within the Void and Endlessness of the Thought before thought.

Answer 7

God is Spirit - the universe is physical - God's existence even now extends beyond the universe

Answer 8

Eternal, is a hard concept to grasp in that it doesn't require time. One thing you have to understand is that there was no before time began in Genesis ch 1. God is 'eternal' not 'infinite in time'. The same with space as with time. God is the Great I Am.

Answer 9

There is no proof in Christianity that he was any where, but the bible tells us he always WAS , where he WAS is maybe something we cant understand or something we cant know about
Mormons Believe he was a human though on another world created by another god

Answer 10

God existed in existence because there was nothing before existence.

Answer 11

Fathoming forever, or a life trying to would drive a person insane and I mean this literally.

I think if someone could understand it completely, God would be accepted at the very moment of understanding.

Maybe we are not meant to understand, but expected to believe despite our lack of understanding.

I believe then by faith that God always was, someday we may know the rest.
