I have been wondering about this question forever...?

Question

Answer 1

yes .. we are somewhat trapped by our perception of time as being linear ..

Answer 2

I have always wondered this question myself, and most of these answers did not satisfy my curiosity. And I am not trying to make anyone mad, Don't take this comment as I am putting your theories down, I am just trying to understand them better, so I have some questions/comments about the comments already here.

as for the one that answered that God was created by an older, more powerful God - where did that God come from?

To Alexi - I don't know about the others that want to know where God came from, but if we believe in God, than we know that the humans, rivers, mountains, and animals were created by God - Does that mean you think he created himself - because that "he has always been" isn't really a logical answer, IF you don't already believe. And it's just as easy to believe in the big bang theory http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bang
as it is to believe in a God that "has always been".

to Canforatc - Your answer is a good one, except that you can live your life as if there is a God, but if you cannot truely believe because of these unanswered questions - you will not inherit the kingdom of heaven, according to the bible, pretending to believe will not get you in.

To Chloe - The energy theory is a good one, my brain will work on how energy got a personality, and why it would want to create humans, but the big bang theory also involves energy existing before anything else, and the friction of that energy causing something from nothing.

Blingcosa - Good answer, but still a little confusing. I get that God is not governed by time, and I get the Big Bang theory. Are you saying the big bang created God, along with everything else, or that God caused the big bang (which still doesn't explain where he came from-except that he doen't have a watch), or are you saying that God is the energy that caused the big bang, so that God is part of everything within the universe? Or something completely different?

Answer 3

Try to get your head around this - it is a little challenging. Physics tells us that time is measured differently at different parts of the universe. It also tells us that there was a fixed moment in the past (the big bang) when time actually began. Time, therefore was created by God, and so there was no BEFORE. God exists in an environment which is not governed by time.

Answer 4

A baby in the womb of his mother has no idea of he existence of any other world besides the limited space in which he is growing.
But once he is born his eyes open, his intelligence starts to grow and he can understand gradually a myriad truths.
Could we explain to the baby, when he is still in the womb, all that we know? ...... No.
There are two reasons for it.
1. He could not understand it because his physical perceptions are not yet fully developed and he can not use them.
He has eyes, but can not see, feet but can not walk, etc ..
2. It would be unwise. He has to stay a minimum of 9 months there and grow to maturity in that world.
This analogy is to explain that our spiritual perceptions, that we need to use in order to understand the nature of God, will operate fully in our next stage of development, or the next world if you want.
To know more about God we need perceptions that we develop gradually in this physical world, to be fully functional in the next one; just as the baby developed all his senses in the womb world, but were only used in the following world, our physical world.

Answer 5

Not Forcing A Religious Battle, But i think that god, is a substructured celestial being. It seems possible for him to be around forever, but also it seems possible for the world to have began as a small star itself and after it began burning out, particles going around it becoming a planet. Then again, "God" could be a star that an alein ship chrashed into and became a celestial cluster of power that gains knowledge from the universe. It really doesnt matter WHAT god is, or how long he has been around, just knowing that he is there is fine in itself.

Answer 6

God tells us in His written Word, the Bible, that He is Alpha and Omega. Which means that He is the beginning and the end. It is hard even impossible for us mere humans to understand that He has always been and will always be.

Because we are born sinful due to the disobedience and rebellion of Adam and Eve, and now we do the same thing, God requires payment for these sins. Therefore, God Himself, came to the earth as the man Jesus. Jesus is God in the flesh. Jesus came here for the purpose of death to pay for our sin.


"...CHRIST JESUS...being in the FORM OF GOD, thought it not robbery to be EQUAL WITH GOD: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross."
--Philippians 2:5-8


Do you recall even in your religion that God always required a sacrifice for sin? Well, Jesus because He has no sin is that final sacrifice.

When we are sorry for our sins, accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior and follow Him, God gives us the FREE GIFT of salvation and eternal life.

Jesus is not a religion. He is the personal relationship that God wants us to have with Him. He is God's love reaching down to man to forgive and save. He died but He rose from death. He now lives and is our King of Kings and Lord of Lords. This is the ultimate love that God has given us.

Answer 7

Bear in mind that God is powerful and no other has more power over God. He is the most powerful. Who do you think will create him since He is the most powerful God? Use your mind and heart to understand the situation, so you will not be lost forever.

Answer 8

Energy with imagination causes creation. God is energy with form and personality. He did not need to be created to exist and create. Energy is never created or destroyed. It is transformed. This is how I see God.

Answer 9

The problem here is that you see god as being a person. The concept of god regardless of religion is that of a power greater than and outside of our comprehension. Personifying god simply gives us a point of reference not a definition. There really is no answer to this question.

Answer 10

I have been thinking about this same question since I was a child with a small brain. Now that i'm older with more brains, i still think of this question.

Who created God?

The answer is: You can't get SOMETHING from NOTHING. That is my only answer to the world. God is fake, even I have trouble believing he is fake even though the answer is very true.

Answer 11

the human race has been programmed into believing in a god and god works through religions.... and that has been for centuries,,,long enough for these religions to destroy all the cultures and people that evolved through the natural spirit..... what most of us spiritually sense outside religion is nature, but nature also had to evolve to battle the religions of humanity.... We are at the apex of a new beginning with a stronger nature beginning to rebuild from where we returning us to where natural evolution would have taken us... nature's return to power means the end to god, gods and the religions they built....
