How was GOD created?

Question

Well if god made eveything what made him is there a greater power how do we know the Enciclopiedia is no help so YOU HELP me understand yet how does anyone understand???????????????/

Answer 1

It's actually kind of simple:

God was created in the imagination of humans as an explanation for all the things we didn't understand. He/She has since lingered through history because many are afraid to let go.

Answer 2

When asking this question, you are looking at it with the mind of a human (the only way you can consider it). Therefore, you can only comprehend what you know / understand to be true. Time is the issue here, your understanding of time is that it is a never ending thing that has started, has a 'present' and will go into the future forever.
What about if time didn't exist, what if god created time when making the universe (the bible tells us that god created day and night - could this be saying that he created time).
Now ithis is where the issue goes beyond the realms of our understanding. If there was no time, then that means there was no before, and hence no creator of god. He was just there or in effect he was the beginning. "In the beginning, God..." - genisus 1:1

Your error is saying that it is impossible to have something if there was nothing before it. It's our human minds that think something or someone was created, why does this have to be the case. Just becasuse we dont understand it doesnt mean it can't happen.

You will never get a straight answer to this as basically no one knows for sure. There will be many answers, but the only correct answer is that you will never know. It's an issue of faith or belief or whatever you wish to call it. and the issue is exactly the same whether you think of it as god, or the universe just exploding with the big bang etc.

Hope this helps

Answer 3

Creation is an earthly idea. Same as gravity. Just because certain things apply to us humans does not mean they have to apply everywhere else.

God has always been there. We might have a hard time understanding, but we don't need to.

Think about the Big Bang Theory. Scientists believe that the earth was created by a big explosion...so where did the rocks and matter come from? Why is there outer space at all? Who created it? If you apply the same question to scientific reasoning, it can't be explained either.

Basically, if people don't believe in God because they don't understand how He could have always been there, I guess nothing else in the world (religious or scientific) can make sense either, can it?

Answer 4

Perhaps you could expand your concept of God. The spiritual is not the physical. We get caught-up in descriptions and words, but that's the only way we can communicate when discussing the topic. To ask your question is to ask, "What was there before the Big Bang?" Our friends over in the science category are beginning to warm us to the idea of billions of universes other than our own. It does seem to go in circles but we just don't know what we don't understand. Try not to limit your concept of God to the physical world. This universal power is not directed by mankind nor even for mankind. It is the universal rhythms that intrigue we humans.

Answer 5

Ps. 90:2: "Before the mountains themselves were born, or you proceeded to bring forth as with labor pains the earth and the productive land, even from time indefinite to time indefinite you are God."

Is that reasonable? Our minds cannot fully comprehend it. But that is not a sound reason for rejecting it. Consider examples: (1) Time. No one can point to a certain moment as the beginning of time. And it is a fact that, even though our lives end, time does not. We do not reject the idea of time because there are aspects of it that we do not fully comprehend. Rather, we regulate our lives by it. (2) Space. Astronomers find no beginning or end to space. The farther they probe into the universe, the more there is. They do not reject what the evidence shows; many refer to space as being infinite. The same principle applies to the existence of God.

Other examples: (1) Astronomers tell us that the heat of the sun at its core is 27,000,000 degrees Fahrenheit (15,000,000° C.). Do we reject that idea because we cannot fully comprehend such intense heat? (2) They tell us that the size of our Milky Way is so great that a beam of light traveling at over 186,000 miles per second (300,000 km/sec) would require 100,000 years to cross it. Do our minds really comprehend such a distance? Yet we accept it because scientific evidence supports it.

Which is more reasonable-that the universe is the product of a living, intelligent Creator? or that it must have arisen simply by chance from a nonliving source without intelligent direction? Some persons adopt the latter viewpoint because to believe otherwise would mean that they would have to acknowledge the existence of a Creator whose qualities they cannot fully comprehend. But it is well known that scientists do not fully comprehend the functioning of the genes that are within living cells and that determine how these cells will grow. Nor do they fully understand the functioning of the human brain. Yet, who would deny that these exist? Should we really expect to understand everything about a Person who is so great that he could bring into existence the universe, with all its intricate design and stupendous size?

Answer 6

Ok--Picture time like a one dimensional line that travels in one direction, from past to future. Ask most atheist cosmologists like Stephen Hawking and they'll say before the big bang, there was no time. You can't have time without matter or energy.

Now take that 1 dimensional line and pretend it is a 2-dimensional square. And you can move freely around in it. there is not only past and future but another dimension for time to transpire in.

Basically, what I'm saying is God is outside of time and therefore not subject to the past-future laws that we are. It's hard to imagine, but God existed before time, therefore there was no past event where he would be created as to be created would require a sequence of events that would require time.

Answer 7

Interesting question. I don't think many religious christians would agree with me. I think their belief is GOD was not created. He has always existed and "lived" as an omnipotent being in his current form.
God is the creator of the Earth and all planets and solar systems and galaxies in the universe.

Answer 8

God is eternal. He always has been & always will be. It is hard to understand, because we see our world decay around us, we see nothing as eternal. But we were created by God to be etenally with Him. Inside we desire to be eternal but we sometimes do not understand the possibility of living with God forever, because forever is such a long time.

Answer 9

I answered a similar question by saying, God is not caused by anything nor is he the effect of anything. He has always existed, does exist and always will exist. He is omnicient, He knows everything, and I believe he allowed evil into the world becuase without sin there can be no compassion or love, just like without ugly there can be no beauty. I'm trying to answer a few ppl's questions in one, so sorry this is a little long. There are ways to prove God exists, but I'll save that for another answer. Thanks for reading, I hope you like my answer. God is good and doesn't want evil to control us, that is why he gave us the ability to accept His son who suffered and died to save the world. Evil has to exist for good to really exist, but good will triumph over evil, Jesus already rose again, now we have to wait for him to come back. God bless and I hope you find the right answer.

Answer 10

God has always existed, if their was another creator then that would be God. No one created God, He is lord of the worlds, From him came all things that exist today and to Him shall we all return.
