How can a creator just be? Everything needs to be created so how did GOd come to be?

Answer 1

No one knows he just says I am that I am, he is the beginning and the end. To many mysteries of G-D our minds would not be able to comprehend.

Answer 2

There are two appoaches I want to take to answer this question. Both will be taken from a logical perspective.

1) Let us consider the dimensions of this universe. We have spacial dimensions and we have the dimension of time. Time, and the laws accompanying time, such as knowing that everything must have a cause (beginning) may only apply in this universe. Parallel universes for example may not have this specific statement!

So, by God, I assume you're speaking of the Judeo-Christian God who is transcendant. In that case, since He is transcendant, He is not an inhabitant of any universe per se, and so does not abide by the laws of physics He created in those universes.

2) If everything needs to be created, and God had to be created, and God is the beginning of all things, then there was no one before God, and thus God does not exist and thus we do not exist. However, we exist, and so I think it follows that God exists. As to "where did God come from?", I believe the first part of my answer is good at answering this.

If you have any other questions, there is a website called answersingenesis(dot)com. Try going there and searching using keywords, or if there is nothing on there regarding your question, you can ask them yourself.

It's also intererting to note that God's name can be translated "I am He who makes all is" (I did NOT make a grammar mistake here, it is as it is).

Answer 3

It's true our minds aren't capable of understanding the existing of God, but since time is not a factor with God let's say God has always been- I mean before their was a universe, before their was a Heaven, before their were angels God was there. Billions up on billions of years pasted then one day God decided to create Heaven, then he decided to create angels. What we can say at this point is that everything and I mean everything began with God.

Answer 4

This question is like the plant asking, how can there be animals? They don't grow out of the ground like me. Everything needs to grow out of the ground. If it can't grow out of the ground and I can't understand how it came to be, then it doesn't exist or it's just another kind of imaginary plant. Continuing, if an animal asks how can there be humans that dream of buildings then build them, write literature and poetry. They are just like the animal. There's no fundamental differences. There's nothing about them that given time, I too can do it. Since I cannot understand how they are so far beyond me, they must be just like me, or they don't exist as some of my dumb friends imagine.

The point is that everything in the physical world is composed of matter. God belongs to the realm of the non-created and non-composed. God is spiritual. Similar to the plant trying to get it's "brain" around an animal, and the animal trying to get its "brain" around the human, it doesn't work. The temporal, created, physical, material human has an impossible time trying to get its mind around the eternal, uncreated, non-physical, non-material. It just doesn't work. To some questions the answer is this far and no farther. Are you going to have a nervous breakdown?

Answer 5

If God was created, then who created the God the created God. The question could just keep going on.
If, on the other hand, there is no God, how did the universe come to be. The Big Bang theory provides a thought about it's beginning. But, how did the singularity come into being, that caused the big bang.

Answer 6

That is what makes Him deity. He always existed and He chose to create.

This is why we call it faith. It is a choice to believe. I have made that choice to trust God. It has brought so much richness and beauty to my life. The best people I've ever known have been true Christians( and yes, I've also met some horrible people who claimed to be Christian, but acted like jerks)

God is so much bigger than our minds can grasp. If you wait until you can define, quantify and dissect God, you will miss any opportunity to just experience Him and His love for you.

Answer 7

God says in the Old Testament that His thoughts and ways are above our thoughts and ways. A finite mind cannot fathom an eternal being. He always existed.

Answer 8

Because time is something he created. Before he created light, time didn't exist. Irrespective of the age of the universe, all we know is he existed prior to the time time started.

Answer 9

I am assuming that we can not know these things because we are just humans. Every thing is quantifiable in this physical universe, but maybe there is something in control of this universe. Maybe there is just something else here that we can not study, like another dimension.

Answer 10

I belive this is the answer we will all know at the end It also says in the bible lean not on to your own understanding some things are not meant to be understood.
