If God created the world, who created God?

Question

I've wondered ever since I was little!

Answer 1

people created god

Answer 2

God always was.

Genesis 1
The Beginning
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2 Now the earth was [a] formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

John 1
The Word Became Flesh
1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Revelation 22:13
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.

Answer 3

A partial answer follows. The complete answer takes your and my whole lifetime to explore, I say.

I particularly liked 's point, the fly analogy and so. And from all these answers, I think that about covers how this question is answered, that I ever heard, plus a little more.

I like how innocently you ask the question. No one knows this answer, in case you thought they did. Or are you just challenging the religious community for their naive faith? I'll assume you're innocence is sincere. Mine was.

I asked the same question. I say any Christian or theist ought to consider such question to be real with themselves. That Ps 90 and Rev 22 scripture, or the Gen1 /Jn 1 scriptures are encapsulate what the Bible says about it. If we believe the Bible is telling the perfect truth right from God, then there we have it, minus the technical details that we'd like to know. Our only hope in knowing more, is 1.) our continuing advancement in space/scientific exploration etc., and, in likelihood that "1.)" fails to turn up an answer in our lifetime or beyond, 2.) "Now we know in part. Then we shall know fully...", a quotation from 1 Corinthians 13 or somewhere like that. The trick there is we have to place our faith now to GET to heaven and be able to find OUT the higher details. But I say it's acceptable that we weren't created with the God-level of intelligence to be able to understand how he came to exit, always existed or etc., and that we have everything we need already in order to gain a faith in Him.

I'm pretty sure God existed before linear time was created, which was created along with the rest of the elements of the universe, which the Bible says God created for us, essentially, if I'm recalling correctly. It seems rational to me that there could be a God and a God-world that is immensely more astounding than this world here. If the miracles in the Bible were real, and the brilliant made-of-light nature of the angels etc., then that's already evidence... We look at the vastness of the universe and our jaw drops. We contemplate the distances, the lengths of time, and are amazed.

It's certainly awe-inspiring to contemplate. Maybe our universe was created as amazingly vast and elaborate as it is an a help for us to believe in God even--a creator behind this amazing thing, knowing that we would have these questions. It's in the book of Romans, chapter 2 I believe where it says that God made all this so that men are "without excuse" for believing in him. And that it explodes the limits of our comprehension keeps us humble, provided we're able to admit that, at least, that we don't know all the answers. I challenge anyone to draw up a picture of a being that is more beautiful than a human or other earthly creature. I don't think it possible, unless we manage draw an angel.Think of the most beautiful person that ever sent a shiver down your spine. The Bible's explanation? "We were created in [God's] image" (Gen 1). And there are many more contemplations like this that to me just scream of a creator. How he came to be in the first place, that's like I said, the question for beyond-our-limits.

I conclude with a photo off the internet of a ".0000001%" section of the universe, which has a bit of the same awe-inspiring effect to me that I got when I used to contemplate the universe, its vastness, the beginnings of time, etc. in my early days in the faith (link below).

Answer 4

God has always existed.Man created time as a measurement and science as a way to explain what God did and does.Whether a person believes in the book of Genesis or the Big Bang theory, someone had to start it.

Answer 5

God was Omnipotent, He has always existed. He has no beginning and no end. He has always been here and always will be. That may be a little hard to comprehend, but God is a spirit, not a man or object that can be created or destroyed.

Answer 6

He has always existed..we cannot understand this...but I will explain to you like I explained to my children......a flys life is 24 hours......to a fly the owner of the house has always been there and continues when we die.....
Same way with Jehovah God...We don't know anything except what he has written in the bible..He is a God from everlasting to everlasting...with no beginning and no end.
We just have to have faith and we can get comfort to know that the most high over us will not pass away and a mean god take his place.

Answer 7

John 1:1
"In the beginning was the Word. The Word was with God & the Word was God."

Answer 8

Maybe God did, and was the first thing to be a something.

Maybe everything already was. Perhaps even time is an illusion, and what is always was.

Maybe God really is timeless.

Maybe he formed by chance, randomly.

Maybe there wasn't anything, but even the void was something, and that was God.

Answer 9

Jehovah God was always there. humans did not create Jehovah God, Jehovah created us.

Answer 10

Psalm 90:2"From time indefinite to time indefinite you are God."
thes verse show that God doesnt have begining nor end, we dont know when exacly counting of time started and will last. We humans die and our life ends but time never and never.
