what is this Question that cannot be answered?

Question

the only question i have ever heard, is where God comes from that has no distinct answer. Although the mormons teach that there is a place called KOLOB where God is near unto....
YET that answer doesnt satisfy the question where did God Begin and How He became a alived.

Answer 1

This question can be answered, God has no beginning nor ending, he has always been & always will be.

Answer 2

The question has been answered. The universe is essentially an ongoing series of causes and effects. Every series logically must have an origin, that is, a first cause. Further, the cause of a series of events cannot be part of the series, but must precede the existence of the series. Therefore God must have preceded the universe. And God must have been the primordial, uncaused cause, for otherwise He would simply become part of the series. Therefore God logically must have had no origin, since the only alternative is the untenable concept of an eternal series of causes and effects that cannot exist because it never had an origin or a cause.

Answer 3

That's just one of those questions that cannot be answered by us - even as Humans, not necessarily just "mormons"... I think partly it is because our minds cannot grasp the vastness of "eternity" or even come close to understand the power of God. If God wanted it to be known, it would be. Some things we just don't need to think about...like that. There are tons of questions I have that no one can answer, that I know one day I will want to ask God, but I will have to wait. That doesn't mean the gospel is less true or untrue just because no person can answer my BIG questions...
This is my favorite Hymn, I just want to share it with you:
If You Could Hie To Kolob
1. If you could hie to Kolob In the twinkling of an eye,
And then continue onward With that same speed to fly,
Do you think that you could ever,Through all eternity,
Find out the generation Where Gods began to be?
2. Or see the grand beginning,Where space did not extend?
Or view the last creation, Where Gods and matter end?
Methinks the Spirit whispers, “No man has found ‘pure space,’
Nor seen the outside curtains,Where nothing has a place.”
3. The works of God continue,And worlds and lives abound;
Improvement and progression Have one eternal round.
There is no end to matter; There is no end to space;
There is no end to spirit; There is no end to race.
4. There is no end to virtue; There is no end to might;
There is no end to wisdom; There is no end to light.
There is no end to union; There is no end to youth;
There is no end to priesthood; There is no end to truth.
5. There is no end to glory; There is no end to love;
There is no end to being; There is no death above.
There is no end to glory; There is no end to love;
There is no end to being; There is no death above.

Text: William W. Phelps

I love that song because it really puts things into perspective, there is no end to the wonderful things in eternity and we really cannot "see" the grand beginning from here...

Answer 4

You are correct. That question cannot be answered, because God always was, and always will be.
How would the Mormons know where God came from? That is like asking The French Government how to win a war.

Answer 5

According to the Bible, God was never created, and will never die. We have the promise of no death in the Bible.

It is hard for us to understand one with no beginning and no end. We just have to accept that as true, since that is what the Bible says.

In Hebrews 7:3 it says:

3 Without father, without mother, without descenta, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.

God Bless you :)

Answer 6

Perhaps you have heard it said that G-d is Absolute, Eternal, Infinite in Nature. This indicates that there is no "beginning". Only an expression of the Absolute, the relative, can have a beginning. Time and space do not exist in the Absolute. G-d does not "become". G-d is.

Answer 7

The question assumes space and time elements. As these are creations of God then such elements and concepts cannot be applied to God....rendering the question meaningless.

It is beyond our experience and imagination to conceive of what is outside of God creation, ie this universe.

Answer 8

he has always been, thats hard for our mind to understand because we our used to a life where life is born an after a time it winds down like a clock, we also live in a world where we have time, but ask yourself this, if we and everything around us never stopped, never grew old, never grew tired, never died, than would we need time? if we had forever to do whatever we wanted would we ever care if it was day or night, dark or light, or how long it took to do something? thats how god is, he never began he just is. he created us in his image but we sinned against him and that is why we have a life of time and boundries.

Answer 9

How he became alived?

Quit thinking of God as a person with a human body (that is the form Jesus took, not God). We have not the words or ability to describe God, so it follows that no one in this realm of the universe could tell you where God came from other than HE WAS AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN.

Answer 10

every mystical religion has the concept of the unknowable god
beyond thought and mind .
the one story in Anthony DE mello's book song of the bird
explains this
it is the bird story in the collection of short ( and I mean short )
stories.
Your mind can't ever know these answers but your heart will

Answer 11

God states that He was always in existance.
Other than that, we don't know.
But Christ did say in the Book of Mark:
"Behold, I have foretold you all things."
I quess we'll put this one on the list of stuff to ask Him, huh?
I would not bother with the Book of Mormon;
unless you really want to get deceived.
