Question about God?

Question

Hey guys. I'm Christian and I believe in God. I don't understand how God created the world? How was he made? Who put him into power? Who was before him?

It's so sad to see many people believe he was made up and such.

Thanks for those who responded my question.

Answer 1

He was the product of a late saturday night, 2 bottles of rum, tequila shots, and a box of broken "raincoats"

I didn't put him in power, he just ran into the master bedroom and locked the door, and I can't be bothered to break in. It does sound as though he's been busy though.

I was before him, and I'll be after him to if he doesn't get his *** downstairs soon.

Answer 2

If you want me to be sincere and truthful - yes there is God.
But who gave IT a form, sex, name, age, beard, voice etc?
Does God have a name or form?
Before Christ was there a God?
Could you have been a Christian before Christ?
So what do you believe in?
What is the source of creation?
Will the sun cool down some day and all life ON EARTH cease to exist?
Do you think that life will exist without the sun or the water?
So - God is energy. It becomes matter. It becomes life. I do not know why it does so but it does creation destruction evolution etc.
I do not think that it has a special plan for the chosen few who are yet catholics.
It does not discriminate. By the way if you think that 'It' is derogatory- It your concept.
For me it, He, she, it, is the same - I do not think that god has sex - because if he is a male then he will have adolescent problems and old age problems.
So this energy, without any discrimination, became lifes, matter, intelligence. Carbon and Silicon are very close relatives in the world of the matter(periodic cycle). Carbon is the basis of all life and Intelligence. Silicin - you know is artificial intelligence. Man used Silicon -Computers!
This body is created from the elements of the food - solid matter which your mother ate and your father fed by working. The body comes from basic food and drinks.
The life came from your fathr's nearly invisible sperms and your mother's just visible ovum. What YUr mothe r ate became your body.
yOU IMBIBED all the concepts and beliefs of your religion race language environment and got a mind.
This is creation It is not a mystery.

Answer 3

Big questions with impossible answers. Biblically, God has "always" existed. He has no beginning and no end. He's infinite. This is a concept that the human mind simply can not comprehend. There was no other being before him who put him in power. He is all omnipotent.
If you believe in Alien intervention, then ancient aliens were the gods that ancient people believed in, being that they were able to fly, had terrible weapons, etc. Ancient Sumerian texts seem to bear this out. The Sumerians were also the worlds first civilization to exist. Interesting, huh? So where do these aliens come from? Who made them? God? Evolution? Who knows.
Then there's reincarnation where we're all part of some single entity, yet seperate creatures who come to live different lives over and over again. For why, I can't say.

Answer 4

God tells us He was always in existence, from the beginning. We dont understand that fully, so many will not belive in God.
But, somethings we wont have answers for tillheaven.
For someone to believe in a big bang theory and evolution, I ask how do you prove who made the universes that collided, or the gasses that caused the explosion./?? They cant prove, but we deceide waht we believe on FATH< and which makes the most sense. Much evidence of Bible truths have already come and more are coming, with the many prophecies of scripture happening already. He just says He always was, and noone was before him. its like the what came first the chicken or the egg thing. One can debate that all their life. to have an egg, we had to have had a chicken. but, whre did it come from?? Fact is, God created the chicken, He made all things. and whre did He come from.?? when we get to Heaven, we can ask Him, but I doubt it will matter then, we will just be glad to be there.
Just study the Bible, and continue to pray, and all things we need to know will be shown to us. and some things go on FAITH.

Answer 5

I am so sorry about the 1st answer you got. How God created the world...That is something we will have to wait to ask God. Just trusting in Him is where FAITH comes in. I know it is hard to comprehend because we come from a world of beginnings and endings. The creator and the created. But that is not really for us to worry about now. If it makes you feel any better I have wondered the same thing, so has my son.
Here is another thing I have wondered...What holds space in?? We know the world is surrounded by space but what holds that in? Where does it begin and end? See there is no answer now but if it is truly important God will reveal it to us one day!
Just remember Gods time/timing is not like ours! Gods timing is perfect. He will clue us all in when He is ready!

God is so totally awesome!!!!!

Answer 6

Read Genesis 1 and 2 for a history of creation. In essence, He spoke the universe into existence. as for your other questions:

Where did God come from?

We can only partially comprehend the notion of God's existence. To do so, we must use human concepts to speak of God: "without beginning or end"; "eternal"; "infinite", etc. The Bible says that He has always existed: " . . . even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God" (Psalm 90:2). And, "Your throne is established from of old; Thou art from everlasting" (Psalm 93:2). Quite simply, God has no beginning and no end. So, where did God come from? He didn't. He always was.
To us, the notion of time is linear. One second follows the next, one minute is after another. We get older, not younger and we cannot repeat the minutes that have passed us by. We have all seen the time lines on charts: early time is on the left and later time is on the right. We see nations, people's lives, and plans mapped out on straight lines from left to right. We see a beginning and an end. But God is "beyond the chart." He has no beginning or end. He simply has always been.
Also, physics has shown that time is a property that is the result of the existence of matter. Time exists when matter exists. Time has even been called the fourth dimension. But God is not matter. In fact, God created matter. He created the universe. So, time began when God created the universe. Before that, God was simply existing and time had no meaning (except conceptually), no relation to Him. Therefore, to ask where God came from is to ask a question that cannot really be applied to God in the first place. Because time has no meaning with God in relation to who He is, eternity is also not something that can be absolutely related to God. God is even beyond eternity.
Eternity is a term that we finite creatures use to express the concept of something that has no end -- and/or no beginning. Since God has no beginning or end, He has no beginning. This is because He is outside of time.

Answer 7

God has always been. He created the world and universe through Jesus Christ. He is the Alpha and the Omega-The beginning and the end. It is hard for us to understand as humans. But God has always been there. What He was doing? Well I do not know. We tend to think oh He must have been bored. But He is God, so we cannot possibly understand what it feels like to be Him.

Answer 8

People made him up. He was put into power by people who tried to offer an explanation for life, with only a rudimentary understanding of the world. Before him there was peace.

Answer 9

Ein-Sof, the Infinite God, has no static, definable form. Instead, the Kabbalists conceive God, the world and humanity as evolving together through, and thus embodying, a number of distinct stages and aspects, with later stages opposing, but at the same time encompassing, earlier ones. The Kabbalists God is both perfectly simple and infinitely complex, nothing and everything, hidden and revealed, reality and illusion, creator of man and created by man,. As Ein-Sof evolves it is progressively revealed as "nothing whatsoever" (Ayin), the totality of being, the Infinite Will (Ratzon) , Thought and Wisdom, the embodiment of all value and significance (the Sefirot), the wedding of male and female, and ultimately the union of all contradictions. Ein-Sof is both the totality of this dialectic and each of the points along the way. Ein-Sof must be constantly redefined, as by its very nature, it is in a constant process of self-creation and redefinition. This self-creation is actually embodied and perfected in the creativity of humanity, who through practical, ethical, intellectual and spiritual activities, strives to redeem and perfect a chaotic, contradictory and imperfect world.

The Kabbalists used a variety of negative epistemological terms to make reference to the hidden God; "the concealment of secrecy", "the concealed light", "that which thought cannot contain" etc. (Gershom Scholem, Kabbalah, p. 88) each of which signifies that this God is somehow beyond human knowledge and comprehension. However, there are other terms, e.g., "Root of all roots", "Indifferent Unity", "Great Reality," (Scholem. Major Trends, p. 12) "Creator," "Cause of Causes" and "Prime Mover" (as well as the term, Ein-Sof, "without end") which signify that God is the origin of the world, the reality of the world, or the totality of all things. Yet in spite of the positive connotations, even those Kabbalists who utilized such terms held that they referred to a God who is completely unknowable and concealed. Of this God, the proto-Kabbalistic work,Sefer Yetzirah had earlier said "restrain your mouth from speaking and your heart from thinking, and if your heart runs let it return to its place" (Sefer Yetzirah. I. 8, as translated in Tishby, The Wisdom of the Zohar. Vol , 1 p 234).

Answer 10

Read Genesis chapters 1 and 2 about creation. God was not made, He is the alpha and the omega, the begining and the end. No one put him into power because that would mean there is someone more powerful than Him and that is not the case. No one was before God, like I said, alpha=beginning.

Answer 11

god is imaginary, and did not create the world. The concept of god was created by ignorant humans a long time ago. That the concept still exists and people kill each other over it is pretty incredible.
