how was god created? he couldnt have always existed so how did he come about to be?

Question

in churches they say he is the Alpha and Omega and that he always existed but everything has to have a beginning and an end so how was god created? and by whom? is there a god that god prays to? does he really exist? which religon should we follow? are all the gods the same? or is there a god for every religon? in that case if we practice a religon that is not christianity are we following the right one? is satanism a religon? is god the god of all religons but in a different form?

Answer 1

There are many views on the existence of God in relation to the fact that he has always existed. I'll give you a couple.

1. Anthropomorphic Model.
God exists in time like us, and just in fact does exist forever backward in history. We wouldn't be able to fully grasp because we have a beginning.

Pros: It is true to a Scriptural interpretation of God understanding people and being able to relate to us.

Cons: It seems rather limiting on the issue of the power of God over all things, if he is controlled by time.

2. Atemporal View
God doesn't exist in time as we do, he exists separate from time.

Pros: It definitely takes care of the problem of God's origin.

Cons: No real Scriptural evidence is found to support it, and it is hard to figure how God could come as Jesus Christ the man if he doesn't exist in time.

3. Infinite Now View
The concept of time is irrelevant, since time is only a measurement of space between events. If God making the universe was the first thing that happened, then that also is the start of the marking of time, since before then there was no events to measure with. This is a temporal view rather than a theological view.

Pros: It completely removes the issue all together. There's no point in even asking the question with this view.

Cons: Well, what if that's not the case?

4: Compromise Theory
God both exists inside of time and outside of time. He can move anywhere along the course of events in history, and be in all moments of time at once. God also exists separate from time and is not affected by time in any way.

Pros: Most clearly illustrates a view of God's omnipotence. Takes care of the problem of origin easily.

Cons: Still not a whole lot of Scriptural backing, more of a speculation on the concept.

We do know that God is unchanging, and thus unaffected by time. Your other questions are seeming just unrelated, but here you go.
No, there's no God that God prays to.
Yes, he really exists.
Religion is a result, not a cause of behavior. A relationship with Christ is what all people should have.
No, different religions have very different views of deity.
Yes, every religion views God differently.
If you are practicing a religion other than Christianity, you're not following Christ, so no, you aren't.
Yes, Satanism is a religion (but not one that directly worships Satan)
God is Lord over creation, but not all religions follow him, so he is not the god of all religions.

Hope that helps.

Answer 2

God is the Creator of all things. He is the Uncreated Being. The Uncaused Cause. No one created God. That is why He is God. He has no beginning and no end. Only He is Eternal. God was always God so He did not need a Creator. He is the First Cause of all Causes. He is Perfect. That is why He does not need a Creator. He is the Creator. If He needs a Creator, He is not God but He is. We should follow the Catholic religion. It is the one God established on earth by His Son Jesus Christ. Religion is an act of justice to God. We must worship God alone because He created us. Satan is not God. Satanism is not justice. We don't owe satan anything. There is only one God. I cannot judge the other religions, only God maybe can do that. What we can do is look for God and serve Him in the best way we can. If we are sincere, God looks at our heart, He wants all souls to be saved. We cannot judge anyone. Do not judge and you will not be judged. Seek God with a sincere heart. He will show you the best and fastest way to Himself. God bless you and keep you safe.

Answer 3

So many questions!!!!!
I guess any ones answer would be based on their beliefs as there is no real proof.
If you look from a scientific way then they say there is no god. We can see all the way back to the big bang when we look to the stars....a bit complex but light traveling over such a huge distance reaches us after the incident has happen so we can see the past.
This means that we were all made from this so could big bang in the beginning and before that........well who knows.....not even scientist can be sure. What created the big bang???? Was it a god????I'm keeping my options open on that one!!

I'm not sure on the god thing as I have just pointed out,however I believe there was a good man called Jesus who tried to live his life how he saw was correct and helped as many people out along the way as he could. This man became well known for his good deeds and theories on life. Not only is he mentioned in the Bible but I believe he can be found in the Koran and other text from various religions.I have no doubt this man existed but the son of god???? I'm not sure. would you believe such a story if you heard a single girl was pregnant these days?? We like to think our generation invented sex but no , its been going on since man existed between men and women and mistakes happen! It's just these days we accept it!

I believe if there is a god then all the gods on earth are the same god. The option I have gone for in the past is that many thousands of years ago there was a higher being....an alien race on earth that has now gone and like a game of Chinese whispers this has changed into many gods of different types. Ever wondered why Mary and Joseph have halos?? Its not...its breathing apparatus as they were aliens from another planet!!! Well its no more far fetched than a virgin birth!!!!!!!

Ever wondered why the ancient Egyptians are painted like strange birds in the tombs??? Where did this image come from? We have no evidence to suggest that they didn't look like this??? Could they be gods.......or higher beings from elsewhere??

Anyhow I could rant all night and if you have a religious person write after me they will just condemn all of this so really religion is made up of belief and belief is what ever you want.

Answer 4

God was created by man quite some time ago. Man created GOD to answer questions that could not be answered at the time. This is why both the old and new bible read like a fairytale.
It's funny how people living in the 20th century can believe in such mythology of 2000+ years ago. Remember according to the bible, the earth is only 6000 or so years old. Science continues to debunk the bible and people who are living their lives thinking only the "meek will inherit the earth," are living in a fantasy land. In the 1400s the catholic church confirmed the existence of dragons and even put a bounty on them. Pope Innocent burned over 50,000 innocent people at the stake because he said the little ice age at the time was caused by witches. It's all lunacy.

Go figure.

Answer 5

Nobody knows. The simplest explanation is that god was created by human imagination.

I think that about covers most of your questions, except for the religion questions. All religion should be avoided like the plague. If you must choose a belief system, I would suggest becoming a Buddhist, or at least taking up some form of yoga.

Answer 6

First, you have to define 'always'. Always is a time based concept. And time as we can understand it is only another dimension of our universe, the fourth dimension. It is woven into the fabric of our universe and has no meaning outside of it. Time started when the universe came into being and will end when the universe ends.

Anything that is outside of our universe is not bounded by time. The question is, 'Is there anything outside the universe?' And there is no answer that physical sciences can give us because none of our theories will work outside of the universe that we know. Our theories are based on observable facts and our knowledge is bounded by the universe that we exist in. So, we have no answer. All we can be sure of is that time is a function of our universe and has no meaning beyond it. As the universe came into being about 13 to 14 billion years ago, there was no time before that so always has no meaning beyond 14 billion years ago. If there was anything or anyone in existence before that, they would not be within the 'time' that we know as that time did not exist for them. Make of that what you will.

Answer 7

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 8

Okay, your question is probably gonna be the hardest one I have ever answered. No, there is not a god that God prays to. God was never created. he just always was and always will be and if you believe in Him and ask Him in your heart, you will go to heaven after you die and everything in heaven is perfect. And, i you go to Heaven, you will live forever and ever there too. Yes, He really exists. Personally, i think that more people should be Baptist Christians. I definitely think that if you are not following Christianity you are lost. No clue about what satanism is and I dont think I want to. God is the God of everything. Every other religion besides Christian is wrong and it doesn't matter ifi you make up your on little gods THEY ARENT REAL. And, if you don't go to heaven, you go to hell :(

Answer 9

this can be explained scientifically.

Short form:

time had to start, so someone outside of time had to start it

Long form:
we exist within a ray of time, in which we can only progress forward from the initiation point. Since "nothing comes from nothing" and a dimension cannot stand all on its own, there had to be one to initiate the initial time reaction. If one exists ouside of time, they are able to access the approximate 129600 different rays of eternity, so they would not need a starting point, as they are not part of time itself, though they can cross over into the ray of time.

so why doubt God, who even has a scientific explanation behind Him?

Answer 10

God has always existed because he created time. God is perfect so he doesn't need anyone to prayer too. We shouldn't follow a religion we should follow the bible. There is only one true God. No you can't be practicing the right religion if you're not a christian. No satanism is not a religion.
