Where did "God" come from?

Question

If you answer "he has always been here" why is it so hard to believe that everything he supposedly created has always been here. A god would be much more complicated than say a big bang. I don't want to be offensive I just want to know what a Christian would answer when I ask him, "Where did God come from?"

Answer 1

To one who examines the evidence, there can be no doubt that God exists. Every building has a builder. Everything made has a maker. The fact of the existence of the Creator is axiomatic (self-evident). That’s why the Bible says, "The fool has said in his heart, ‘There is no God’" (Psalm 14:1). The professing atheist denies the common sense given to him by God, and defends his belief by thinking that the question "Who made God?" can’t be answered. This, he thinks, gives him license to deny the existence of God.

The question of who made God can be answered by simply looking at space and asking, "Does space have an end?" Obviously, it doesn’t. If there is a brick wall with "The End" written on it, the question arises, "What is behind the brick wall?" Strain the mind though it may, we have to believe (have faith) that space has no beginning and no end. The same applies with God. He has no beginning and no end. He is eternal.

The Bible also informs us that time is a dimension that God created, into which man was subjected. It even tells us that one day time will no longer exist. That will be called "eternity." God Himself dwells outside of the dimension He created (2 Timothy 1:9, Titus 1:2). He dwells in eternity and is not subject to time. God spoke history before it came into being. He can move through time as a man flips through a history book.

Because we live in the dimension of time, logic and reason demand that everything must have a beginning and an end. We can understand the concept of God’s eternal nature the same way we understand the concept of space having no beginning and end—by faith. We simply have to believe they are so, even though such thoughts put a strain on our distinctly insufficient cerebrums.

Answer 2

God is eternal. God doesn't have a beginning or an end. God just IS (the Great "I Am") and doesn't operate on the same space/time continuum that we are stuck on.

Is God more complicated than a big bang? Sure. Same as human beings are more complicated than a rock. Just the fact that a being is complicated doesn't mean that the being can't possibly exist.

Although I have to say, a big bang that produces organization -- now THAT is complicated. Think of it this way. A cherry pie is made up of flour, shortening, a bit of water, sugar, cherries and usually a dash of flavoring (almond extract is a favorite).

If I put all those ingredients into a microwave and set it on high until I got a big bang, do you think I'd get a cherry pie? Okay, maybe not on the first try. How many times do you think I'd have to blow up all those ingredients until I got a perfectly formed cherry pie? Suppose we set up everybody in the whole world trying the experiment and gave them enough ingredients to try it 1,000 times a day for 10,000 days -- do you think we'd get even one cherry pie?

Look around you -- organization everywhere. Your own body is organized into systems that work very efficiently. If you ask me, it takes more faith to believe that ONE life form on this planet (let alone all of them) was an accident than it does to believe in an intelligent creator.

Answer 3

that used to be made up our minds for the period of the council of trent. many cardinals and bishops argued over this, it used to be a month lengthy symposium. The geographical region used to be sorely taxed, caring for the private demands of those excellent guys. Several have been completed within the method however finally, nodding got here to intend "sure" and the part to part movement got here to intend "no". The volume of conviction used to be indicated by way of the vigorousness of the motion. If anybody requested you if you happen to desired cream on your espresso, and you probably did, you have been intended to bob your head up and down quickly, even VIOLENTLY a minimum of 8 instances.

Answer 4

the thing is He's non-temproal (eternal), so He needs no creation point. time exists, right? so even time had to be started.

why can't the universe be self-existant? then all particle physics would be wrong, as all matter will eventually disappear. God left us logic, and logic says the physical is temporal.

"science without religion is dead and religion without science is lame". God gave us intelligence to use. nothing wrong with applying science that doesn't conflict

Answer 5

He has always been here and will always be. The world has not always been and there is no way from one star exploding everything just happened by accident!
