heres a tough one!!?

Question

If God made all of us, who made God? and was it like "poof and hes here"? ive asked my pastor this question before and he still can't give me an answer.. all i know is that in the bible, it starts with God already being there.. and God was supposed to be the first and only person there at the time.. well, how did he get there? who was his mother and his father? what higher authority does He answer to? Just a question ive had for a long time.. figured someone on here may be able to help me out!!

Answer 1

No one made God, He always was and always will be! When you die, you will meet Him and He will explain everything!

Answer 2

You are having difficulty because you are thinking of 'God' in relative human terms: humans come from someone, and so does everything else, so that must mean God does too.

A human being, and the laws and processes that determine it, are but slices and aspects of that which we call 'God'. It is like a finger trying to imagine what this thing called 'the body' is like. The finger will only be able to use what the finger knows and understands, and therefore will only think of the body as being like it (tall, multi-jointed, covered in skin, having a hard shell covering its vital parts.) While some of that may be true, it is not true for its entirety.

God does not have a mother or father in the sense that humans do: God is its own mother and father. As for higher authority, its very nature is bound by many of the same laws as the rest of creation, which is why humans can study, and become aware of, these limitations (1 + 1 = 2 exists on every fundamental level of existence, whether on Earth or Heaven, 1 angel plus 1 angel still equals 2 angels.)

God is the 'something' in the most fundamental equation of all: 1 + 0 = 1. When you have something and nothing, the only thing that is recognized is that which is something. However, '1' implies recognition of something, which also implies a state of non-recognition '0'. Since God cannot be in two states at the same time, unless God divides itself (but that is a whole other set of circumstances) God can either be 'conscious' or 'unconscious'. When God is unconscious, God does not 'cease,' God simply ceases to know itself, which means of course that if God can forget itself, God can also 'begin' to know itself.

In other words, in the true beginning, God existed but did not know itself: 0. In learning to know 'itself', it became 'God', the alpha point of recognition: 1. From two such states of being, all of creation flows and returns.

Answer 3

I asked this same question several times growing up... Answers ranged from "I don't know" to "Ask god when you die."

This particular question is the one that most often got me kicked out of sunday school class and sent to talk with either the bishop or my parents.. They didn't have the answer either... LOL

If someone answered god is eternal my follow up was if god is eternal then couldn't the big bang have happened.. Normal response everything came from something, you can't have something start from nothing would usually be the answer... .. I would answer "But you just said god is eternal and started from nothing and just is how can that be?"

The follow ups usually got me sent home from church ... Which is where I wanted to be in the first place... Mission accomplished and usually in under an hour LOL

Answer 4

Look this is just a guess, i can't even begin to think i know the answer to the "mysteries" but here goes....

If you've ever noticed the term "infinity" in math and the world starts at a certain place (usually 0) and heads toward a number that has no definite value. And, note that all products we have (trees, computers, etc.) all have a point of origin regardless of how long they last. So, knowing this, we can recognize that existence of everything in its entirety must have started somewhere. By the knowledge of Gen. 1:1 and Revelation "alpha and omega..." we recognize that definite point as being God.

Answer 5

This has been repeated ad nauseum over the last week.

God, by nature, is the primary being. Since if you follow that logic to its end, you'll wind up with something that had to exist eternally, something without a creator, or else be caught in an endless, unnatural loop. If there was a cause to be found, an end to the cycle, then that end is naturally God.

It can be hard for someone new to the faith to understand that it takes a supernatural being to exist beyond natural law. Something omnipotent to exist in nothing, as it had to have been. But that's something to take home as personal evidence, if you will, of God's omnipotence. That he was the Alpha and Omega, first and last.

Omnipotence, baby. Dig it!

Answer 6

Oh, like this has never been asked before.
Well, God says He is the Alpha and the Omega, The First and the Last. He is eternal. Like a rainbow. A rainbow in heaven is acutally a full circle, and represents God. God says He's always been, and I believe Him. It's called FAITH.

Answer 7

If the people who wrote the Bible back in the day, closer to God didn't know, how could anyone in our time?

Answer 8

This IS a tough one. No one knows where God came from. You just have to wait until you go to heaven, then you'll know.(maybe)

Answer 9

You get a time machine. You go back and back and back. God is still there. Back even further, still there. Theres no end to time and theres no end to god. God wasnt created. God just was.

Answer 10

that isn't tough. an eternal God needs no creator

eternal: having no beginning nor end; not subject to the limitations of time
