stop making researchs about how God was created else you might run mad or even die.

How Did God Come To Be?

Hello.. God is believed to be eternal.. without beginning or end.. the premise that “everything has a creator" is wrong... the correct premise is “everything that begins to exist has a cause/creator( i used creator because I'm approaching it from a theistic point of view)

.. God is believed to be existing... He is not believed to have begun to exist at any point in time.. so it cannot be said that He was created

Tnks very much. To you, God's existence didn't start nor begin from somewhere;as such, has always been. But to reason, everything dat begins to exist(effect ) has a cause /creator.God's existence not to be said to have started from somewhere is hard to understand. For a thing cannot be that which it is and nothing else.

Tnks very much. U did say 'to everything dat begins to exist(effect ) has a cause /creator.'Since God exists, WHO/WHAT caused His existence ?

yes.. you missed the point... everything that BEGINS to exist has a cause/creator... the key word there is “begins".... the view of an all Supreme creator is one which exists.. although does not begin to exist.. not everything that exists must have a cause.. everything that BEGINS to exist.. an all supreme creator is one who never BEGAN to exist.. that's what we call “eternal"... cheers

Lol, you think it's because I'm against the op asking that question. I was only referring to fanatics who'll jump in here to tell him how such a question translates to heresy, blasphemy and what not instead of addressing his question head-on.

What is the difference between something that "begins to exist" and something that is said to be "existing"?

If anyone terms the question as an act of heresy, no problem. All I want to know of is why it is one

Something that never began to exist? If it never began to exist, how then can it exist at all?

I just did and with the little I was able to grasp, made reference to God as that which has been from the very beginning. Now, who began that beginning?

.God's existence not to be said to have started from somewhere is hard to understand. For a thing cannot be that which it is and nothing else.

talking of the concept of an all supreme creator, God is believed to be the creator of everything.. including time.. so its a little out of place to ask for a “time" when God didn't exist before he began to exist.. he being the creator of time, he has been existing.. i would've said existing before time was created.. but that would be saying there was a time before time itself.. which is wrong... or basically you can take time to be a measurement to be a measurement of events in eternity.. so anything that begins to exist had a beginning in the event of eternity and might also have an end.. but God is believed to be eternal, dwelling in eternity.. meaning he didn't have a cause or beginning in eternity.. just like a circle has no beginning or end... God is believed to have neither beginning nor end..

teelaw4life:

please refer to the point above.. not everything that exists must have a cause.. just everything that BEGINS to exist.. something that his existing is existing.. just is.. like the circle scenario above.. something that begins to exist has a beginning and cause for its existence.. being subject to laws

God is not and can't be energy. He isn't dat wic he created. Where he was before He created the heavens and the earth might be a question for another day but how He came to be. He didn't just spring forth form somewhere. Another force might be responsible for His coming to be

Ur last sentence tends to invalidate others above it. Even the notion of infinite regression makes little sense to me. The circle as we see it, has a beginning and the end terminates at its beginning. That we fail to notice it doesn't mean it does that have.

i don't seem to understand you.. how is the beginning of the circle the end?... if it is, then are you saying that every part of the circle is its beginning and its end?... please clarify.. thanks

There's no way you can deal with such sensitive issues without involving logic,God is in our core like the scriptures said "don't you know ye are gods and sons of the most high".Religion alone might never satisfy your thirst for this question,except getting costant threats like you've seen above.I believe God is the universe "without him was nothing that was made",everything is energy and bundles of consciousness...these are my pantheistic views.Thought the might help... I rest my case
