Question for TRUE Christians (God's Begining)?

Question

Hello,

Just want to say from the start that I believe in TRUE Christianity.

The question that I have has always seemed to give me headaches (if I think about it to hard) and it just might be that there really isn't an answer for this but here goes anyway.

Everything that we know of has a begining (both seen and unseen), even the God's only begotten first born Son who was sent to earth to become Jesus the Annointed (a.k.a Jesus Christ) had a begining. However, The Almighty Father of Christ (JEHOVAH God) is said to have no begining and has ALWAYS been in existence before anything else ever existed. Is there any way to make this more easier to grasp?

I believe it to be true by faith and by coming to the conclusion that if JEHOVAH had a creator then one would wonder how THAT creator came into being and so on and so forth, so I figure IT HAS to start with Him, I just want to know if there is anyone who can better explain it (using OWN words and the Bible please)?

I definitly DO NOT believe in evolution as its only reasonable and common sense that where ever there is design (ESPECIALLY great design) that there MUST be a designer.

The Bible itself states that every house was constructed by someone but He that constructed all things is God (Heb 3:4).

One main reason as to why evolution and many atheists have a hard time believing in God's existence is due to the fact that there is so much evil in the world and being that is the case and God is supposed to be ALL POWERFUL and LOVE itself, then why does he tolerate it.

Being that I am familiar with the teachings of TRUE Christianity (John 4:23) I know the Bible's answer on this (GREAT answer if I may add!), but I kind of am at a lost when trying to fathom where God came from or how He came to be.

By Him having been ALWAYS in existence with absolutely NO begining whatsoever is beyond words and thinking ability... no matter how true it may be. My thanks to ALL TRUE Christians!!!

Answer 1

In the Beginning God created.......!
This verse says that God existed right from the beginning. You already quoted verses that say God has no beginning and no end.

God did not have a creator because He is the Creator!

Answer 2

So I am not a true believer. I have considered this question from an agnostic point of view. As I go back to the beginning of time, how does it all begin?

So from a scientific point of view, string theory suggests that the Big Bang was not the beginning, that it was just a transition.

That theory suggests that there is no beginning. It is quite possible that as humans who see everything with a beginning and end, we cannot fathom eternal existence.

What if there is no beginning?

You could also look at the concept of ex nihilo, out of nothing.

I know the importance of this question as the answer to faith is at both ends. At the end of our lives, we will get the answer, but also if we knew what was at the "beginning", we would know the answer.

However, with faith, why bother? If you believe, it's a moot point to ask the question.

For me, an agnostic, it is important, because the answer will give me the knowledge and the answer to the question, "Is there a higher being?"

You as a true Christian already know the answer.

Answer 3

hey, im a witness too, ive always thought it was a difficult concept to grasp since we as humans only know and understand things with beginnings and ends right? because Jehovah is Almighty and His thoughts are higher than our own. isa 55:8,9  “For the thoughts of YOU people are not my thoughts, nor are my ways YOUR ways,” is the utterance of Jehovah.  “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than YOUR ways, and my thoughts than YOUR thoughts. so there are some things that we may not be able to comprehend because we are mere humans, right.

maybe to put it into something that we could understand, think about the earth itself, we ( you and I ) cannot really imagine a time when there was no earth because we weren't around then and it seems that humans have been around forever (in our minds we are limited to a few decades of existance right now, so anything beyond that is difficult to grasp), the only difference is that the earth DID have a beginning and Jehovah never did, because He has always and will always exist, He has no end He is uncreated. because we are imperfect, we can grasp that concept very easily, but remember that Jehovah is perfect. consider what is said in the SI book pg278 Time Is One-Directional. Though time is universal, no man living is able to say what it is. It is as unfathomable as space. No one can explain where the stream of time began or where it is flowing. These things belong to the limitless knowledge of Jehovah, who is described as being God “from time indefinite to time indefinite.”—Ps. 90:2. also look at the RS148-9 and g86 5/8 pp16-17, that should help. May Jehovah bless your efforts to serve Him more fully!! :)

Answer 4

The Word of God does not say anything about God's conception. It does say that in the beginning He was here. That is our beginning not His. Faith is the substenance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. If you could see and have logical answers, there would be no need for faith. God is the same yesterday, today and forever. W/O faith it is impossible to please Him. I have often let my mind wonder in those areas as well. But do you know what I say. I say I think too much and go on. May God Bless U.

Answer 5

ok, this is going to be one of those crappy answers that I myself despise, but it is one of those things where we don't understand and you just have to have faith. (Cringe; I hate the "faith" answers---they really just sound like cop outs to me.)

But I justify the faith answer in this specific case because of this. Really, to believe ANYTHING about the existance of us, you have to have faith, creation or evolution. Where did God come from? I haven't a clue! But if you are to believe evolution, where did the materials that collided and formed the earth come from, either? I don't know that either. I have had p-cells or whatever explained to me, but everything still had to come from somewhere. Even space had to come from somewhere. So I don't know and often wonder myself, and I am sorry I can't answer any better. If God is real and we go to heaven, then we will find out then. maybe God likes to have a little mystery so we will always be seeking him.

If God is not real, then I am sure science will someday explain it, but the latest I heard was that it couldn't. (Correct me if I am wrong, which I am open to being.)

Answer 6

He has no beginning and no end, just as Christ was God in the flesh, 1Timothy 3:15,16, and John 1:1and 1:14. It is hard for us to understand because His ways are higher than our ways, but there is more proof that Christ lived than Abraham Lincoln. or at least just as much proof! It is beyond our understanding of a all powerful God.

Answer 7

If God had a beginning then he is not God because he is no longer omnipotent because then He is no longer the only God because He didn't come first. God also says that you are not meant to know everything, The human mind cannot handle it. We are not gods, but we are made in His image. No there isn't any easier way to explain it because God didn't explain it to us and so we don't need to know. All we need to know is to have faith in Him and when our time has come we will go to Heaven to be with Him in paradise.

Answer 8

something that has a initiating has to have a reason. the 1st element that got here into existence had to have a reason that already existed. There must be a commonplace reason (God) that has consistently existed; otherwise not something might exist because of the fact something won't be able to come from absolute nothingness.

Answer 9

Sorry, conjecture to answer authoritatively is a junky answer.

I AM THAT I AM That means past present and future.

Remember God lives in a universe not limited by time or space.

Answer 10

Bible says God is the same now and forever....He has always existed....we are small and its rough to grasp but true..He can be many places at the same time..
