If everything is created from something else then who or what was GOD created by?

Answer 1

When I was a child I often wondered about this. I did not doubt that He was there, I just wanted to know HOW HE GOT THERE!

Now that I am older, I can see that there are so many other questions that are more meaningful than this one. I am more sure now than ever of His Presence, which, I think, makes how He got here not so important after all. When you see a tree, do you wonder how it got here? Well maybe you do, but I'd rather just enjoy the fact of it.
God bless you & increase your understanding.

Answer 2

People with no inner spiritual life sometimes ask: If God created everything, who created God? The Prophet said that some people would ask this very question: "A day will certainly come when some people will sit with their legs crossed and ask: 'If God created everything, who created God?'" [1]

At best, the question is based on perceived "cause and effect" relationships. Everything can be thought of as an effect and attributed to a prior cause that, in turn, is attributed to a prior cause, and so on. However, we must remember that cause is only a hypothesis, for it has no objective existence. All that objectively exists is a particular sequence of circumstances that is often (but not always) repeated. If such a hypothesis is applied to existence, we cannot find a creator of the first cause, because each creator must have had a prior creator. The end result is a never-ending chain of creators. [2]

The Creator must be Self-Subsistent and One, without like or equal. If any created being "causes" anything, that capacity was created within that being, for only the Creator is Self-Existent and Self-Subsistent. Only the Creator truly creates and determines possible causes and effects for His creation. Therefore, we speak of God as the Sustainer, who holds and gives life to all of His Creation. All causes begin in Him, and all effects end in Him. In truth, created things are "0"s that will never add up to anything, unless God bestows real value or existence by placing a positive "1" before the "0".

In the sphere of existence, what we call causes and effects have no direct or independent influence. We may have to use such words to understand how a part of creation is made intelligible to us and available for our use. But even this confirms our dependence upon God and our answerability before Him. God does not need causes and effects to create; rather, we need them to understand what He has created.

[2] The futile notion of a never-ending chain of creators was one of the arguments used by Muslim theologians to explain the necessity of believing in God.

Answer 3

That is the error in our thinking, everything is not created from something. God uses this argument against men in the last days and says: 2 Peter 3: 3 "Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts, 4 and saying, "Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation." This God says is the error of evolutionists that they assume that everything (laws of nature) have been exactly the same since creation began. To Christians God says that things that we can see (creation) did not come from things that are visible as the evolutionists assumes. Hebrews 11:3 By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible.

Answer 4

Revelations 1:8

Answer 5

I have posted this answer so many times, God has no beginning nor ending nor Father nor Mother, He has anyways been & lways will be.Now the word creted is the main focal point, God Created all things, But in God, he needs no creation because he has ever been. God is that Great Eternal Spirit.

Answer 6

It is not that everything has been created from something else, it is that God said be created and evrything was created in six days.

Don't get into trash, realise the purpose of life, it is not to have fun, but life is a test to accept God, failing which only we would be the losers. Please research, my advice would be to check out following sites:

Answer 7

That would mean God would be inferior to something else.

God was and is and is to come... God has always existed, God is outside of our concept of time and space. God is so much bigger than we can imagine...

John 1:1; Revelation 22:13; Hebrew 13:8

Answer 8

Well because u and me are only creations, u wont be able to think about eternity,
well to give u an easy example your brain started memorizing things the day u were born, but have you wondered where you were before you were born. your brain is only limited to the day u were born to the day u die, you have no imagination other than that. the brain is just a living hard disk, it just keeps collecting data that u hear, smell, see, or feel. anything other would be impossible

Answer 9

You are now in the realm of the Prime Creator, where time and space does not exist. No up or down, in or out, only the soul mind. For every answer you need of this kind go to www.luisprada.com

Answer 10

I vote that you give the 10 points to "mans imagination."

Usually these people say "god was always there," or "our minds are too stupid to comprehend god," or better yet, "god exists outside of time and space." Without realizing that the universe could have "always been there;" that our mind is "too stupid" to understand how a godless creation can exist; or that saying "it exists outside of time and space" we can justify santa claus, x-men, unicorns, and fairies.
