This may be one of the most difficult concepts for humans to wrap their minds around. We are taught that everything had a beginning. A baby begins with the combination of a sperm and an egg. A tree from a seed. We are taught that God made the universe, but who 'made' God? How did He come to be? God knew that we would be curious about this. He gave us these scriptures: (NWT)Isaiah 44:6: This is what Jehovah has said, the King of Israel and the Repurchaser of him, Jehovah of armies, 'I am the first and I am the last, and besides me there is no God.' (NKJV)Isaiah 44:6: Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel, And his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts: 'I am the First and I am the Last; Besides Me there is no God.' (NKJV)Revelation 1:8: "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End," says the Lord, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty." (NWT)Revelation 1:8: "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says Jehovah God, "the One who is and who was and who is coming, the Almighty." Now this is the difficult concept: Almighty God always was. Eventhough it may frustrate us, we should focus more on this: (NWT)John 3:16: For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, in order that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life. -- Edit -- In response to: Flynn444: This answer does not really answer the question. The scriptures quoted only make an assertion about who god is, not who "made" him or how he came to be. I believe it does answer the question. The point of the scriptures is to show that "HE always was". That means no one made him. It's a hard concept to grasp. -- Edit -- In response to: Sakhalinskii: This is only an attempt to proclaim monotheism. Perhaps you should consult the Qu'ran. 1st: Hmmm, I didn't know the Qu'ran was a Christian book. 2nd: This question was asked in the Christian category. 3rd: Please rate fairly. If I answered this way in the Islam category then I would expect bad ratings. In response to: Sakhalinskii: Alright, I shall up my rating a little. However, Christianity IS just another Abrahamic religion, and you should look for enlightmenment from some of your more recent neighbours. Thank you. I, too, believe in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. That is the only true God. The Almighty of the universe. They worshiped one god and so do I. Monotheistic isn't it?

Its called faith. Its a hard thing to understand. I had trouble with it for a while. But then i was like this is one of the small things to worry about in life. So i said ok faith.... so my friend said to try this F-For A-all I-I T-Trust H-Him and it just really helps me! So he's always been there. And He always will be.

God is infinite, Man is finite. Time is measured only unto man. god is eternal, one eternal round. there is no begining there is no end. We are taught beginings and endings so we think we can apply it to everything. Our understanding is finite. Where in the Bible are you referring to God as the very first being?

WHO CREATED GOD? It is easy to make an argument for God?s existence from a cosmological standpoint. As the years have gone by, a growing amount of scientific data has accumulated which negates atheistic assumptions about how matter and the cosmos came into existence and how it has arrived at its present condition. As a science teacher and public lecturer on the compatibility of belief in God and science, I have, been impressed with an increasing awareness on the part of many scientists and theologians that science and religion are symbiotic disciplines. One question which inevitably comes up in a discussion of this nature is what is the origin of God? If God created matter/energy, and designed the systems that have propelled matter into its present arrangement, who or what accomplished that for God? Why is it any more reasonable to believe that God has always ?been? than it is to say that matter has always ?been?? As Carl Sagan has said, ?If we say that God has always been, why not save a step and conclude that the universe has always been?? (Cosmos, p. 257). From a purely scientific standpoint, it is easy to demonstrate that matter cannot be eternal in nature. The universe is expanding from what appears to be a beginning point in space/time, which appears to be a one time event. Hydrogen is the basic fuel of the cosmos, powering all stars and other energy sources in space. If the fuel of the universe has been used eternally, that fuel will eventually be depleted, but the evidence is that the cosmological gas gauge, while moving toward ?empty,? is yet a long way from being there?a condition incompatible with an eternal universe. The second law of thermodynamics insists that the cosmos is moving toward a condition of disorder, sometimes referred to as ?heat death.? Even in an oscillating universe, things ultimately run out of energy and ?die.? All of these evidences, and several others we have not made reference to, show that matter cannot be eternal, as Dr. Sagan and his associates would like to believe. However, this does not mean that we automatically accept the hypothesis that God is the Creator. Why is it not equally invalid to suggest that God has always been? The problem here is that many people have a mistaken concept of God. If we conceive of God as physical, anthropomorphic (like man) being, the question of God?s origin is valid. However, such a concept of God is alien to the Bible and to common sense. Consider the following descriptions of God from the Bible: John 4: 24 God is a Spirit:... Matthew 16:17 ...for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my father which is in heaven. Numbers 23:19 God is not a man, that He should...; Obviously, the descriptions and concepts of God given in these passages are that God is a spiritual entity. He exists outside of the three-dimensional, physical world in which we live. The Bible further supports this concept of God in the following passages: Jeremiah 23:23-24 Am I a God at hand, saith the Lord, and not a God afar off? ...Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the Lord. 2 Chronicles 2:6 But who is able to build a house, seeing the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain Him?... Acts 17:28 For in Him we live, and move, and have our being;... Not only is God described as being outside space, but He is also described as being outside of time. Consider the following: 2 Peter 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. Psalm 90:4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night. Psalm 102:27 But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end. Acts 1:7 ...It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in His power. If God is a being that is unlimited in time, and if He has access to every piece of time as if it were now, the question of who created God is an invalid question. The problem is like asking a student to draw a four-sided triangle. The terminology is self-contradictory. When asked ?Who or what created God?,? we are making the assumption that God was created. If God exists outside of time and space, and if He is the Creator of time and space, He obviously was not created! God began the beginning! This is why He says, ?I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.? God created time. The statement of Genesis, ?In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth,? is making reference to the creation of time. The reason that things like heat death, the expansion of the universe, and the depletion of hydrogen do not apply to God is because He is outside of time. God has always been. He not only began time; He will also end it. When time ends, all matter and all mankind will enter eternity?a timeless condition free of the negative things that time brings upon us now. 2 Peter 3:10-11 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,... Revelation 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. The agnostic position that there is nothing that can be said to support God?s existence that cannot be said against that existence cannot, in the opinion of the author, stand in the face of this evidence. http://www.doesgodexist.org/Phamplets/WhoCreatedGod/WhoCreatedGod.html

The answer is easy: the concept of god came from the mind of man. Throughout his history, man has attempted to explain the unknown as the work of mystical and divine beings. As knowledge has expanded, so has our understanding of these beings changed too. Still, there remain countless conceptions, the Christian god simply being one among many. Theologically speaking, most conceptions of god understand him/her/them to have had no originator (Mormons are probably the exception; they believe god was once a man like us). If they did have a creator, they wouldn't really be god then.

God is the creator and only he will have that answer.

The human mind.

Out of entropy.

how would god b created by the human mind dummy =) if god created MAN, this is unexplainable trust me i ask myself this many times

Not again! How many times and in how many permutations can this question be asked? He has told us that He is eternal, ie he was always there. I have no doubt he will explain how this is when we get to heaven. I'll let you know if there is any change to this statement in the meantime. I promise.

He came out of nowhere.

A little fairy tale book called 'the bible'...

Ok, a real answer: According to the Bible, God Is, Was, and always will be. Therefore he wasn't the FIRST, he didn't come from anywhere, he just always WAS. See? 12 years of catholic school paid off. But I am an atheist so don't expect me to believe the answer, I just answered it according to the Bible, which the edited question now asks.

Gods comes from our imagination

Where did he come from where did the very first energy particles or whatever they are called from the big bang come from. It's all crazy the two belief system of Science and Religion can't answer how the hell did we get here even in evoultion you have to say where in the hell did the first thing we evolved from come from all you can do is pray there's life after to death

even scientists cant deny the fact that you can not create matter from nothing. that matter cycles. but the thing bout god is that he is not like "matter" he is like a "spirit" which is different. there are many things that we wont ever be able to comprehend until after we die, im afraid that this may be one of those things.

There was nothing. God is what there was. It realized there was nothing. Then it realized it was the nothing. It went over there, there was nothing. It went back, there was still nothing. It kept studying the void, still nothing. Then it said how can this be? I AM. Then it contemplated itself. And there was something.

Moses asked who shall I say sent me...Exodus 3:14. God said,"I AM"... Genesis 1,2,3 shows us as God is 2, HIMSELF & HOLY SPIRIT..and HE is born as the Son ,in Isaiah 9:6-7.. HE just was and always has been...we believe or we don't.....simple as that...freewill. Law of Exclusion= ' Silence of Scripture ' on any given subject must be HONORED or we will be GUILTY of the GREAT TRANSGRESSION = PRESUMPTIOUS SIN...

Like many things, it's a mystery to the human mind...at least to mine. However it happend, I'm just glad no one was able to abort.

Ask him. Perhaps he'll tell you. : )

Since I am an atheist, I won't speak about where god came from, but just where "matter" came from. It's just as difficult for scientists to answer. So my take it in is basically that its only hard to understand because we are human. The universe doesn't really run on "time" the way we run on it. We are used to everything having a beginning and an end, when these concepts simply don't apply to the universe. So I guess in the end it is just beyond comprehension, but it helps when you consider time is a man made construct to help as make measure events.

From Detroit.

Revelation says God created himself because it was his pleasure that he be created.

From energy and light and force and inertia, from space and time and the foundations of all things all at the same time. I think... He always was.

He has always been he is the first and the last.

VERY good question! +5

In my opinion, god was born out of the minds of men.

he is the begining and the end alpha omega, Gos has no creator he is the creator.
