Who created God?

According to the Bible, God created everything in the universe. We believe on that as Christians. My question then would be. Who created God? Where did He come from? Who are the origins of God?
I hope someone could explain on this. Thank you in advance.

"In the beginning God.." and "in Him we live and move and have our being" - If there was once only God than He must be the life force itself. Besides who or what else would or could be the life force. God is both Life and also Perfection(or he too could not endure/would fade).
- These days the scientists who are evolutionists (about 2/3's) are saying in answer to where life came from, that perhaps we were seeded from another planet.. but as you've pointed out here, such a thing answers no question..

I also believe that God always existed and that he created everything. I also believe that as created beings ourselves, because we have a beginning, it is difficult for us to comprehend the infinite past, where God has always existed.

Ah, but He did not snap His fingers. Here is the wording from Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
Simply, this is what the written Word of God says and I believe it. So do others.

There is a chain of creation: God creates man: Man creates a chair: What does the chair create? Prove to me that the chain shouldn't finish at this end and I'll accept that the chain shouldn't finish at the other end.
God is, because He is. He is, in Himself. Every thing else is, because of Him.
Spinoza's first axiom was: That which is, is either in itself or in another. He wasn't a Christian, but I think this is helpful. You either accept it, or you contradict it by propounding a different axiom. But what you cannot do is disprove it.

"...only exists in mathematics"
And logic, in fact, strictly speaking, only in logic.

True. Proof only exists in mathematics (from axioms, not from nothing), from hindsight, and from eternally present experience.
Science, on the other hand, deals in probabilities, and for any hypothesis other than Intelligent Design, no statistician would even consider adopting the confidence limits that would be necessary to reject the latter. The same applies when one looks at the number of fulfilled prophecies in the Bible relating to Jesus Christ. And to think that people stake their eternal happiness on such odds!
"Hindsight is a wonderful thing". But I think those in hell would still rather not have it.

That is a good question.If we believe this world is created then we have a pattern.Then we can ask ourselves who created the creator.Let`s say we can answer that.but then we will ask who created the creator of the creator.In the end we will realize there must be someone who always existed.
The same thing in science.The big bang theory teaches us there was this particle coming out from ...nowhere.For me that is even more hard to believe since we talk about science here.

oh boy what happened with the other scientist ?
Chiang Mai if you teach science then tell me why do we see so many maybe and probably in the theory of evolution.Also tell me if anyone managed so far to create a simple living cell out of nothing.If you can`t then let`s wait a couple of hundred years until they will discover what gives life to a cell.

Principally work created us and we create works. Like wise, God created universe and universe created God. In absence of one of them, there is no existence of second one.

I think God always was and that he is life itself, the life force..

To this question no one speaks with authority or knowledge. I can perhaps offer what I believe, which is that God is the uncreated, that subsists and that everything that exists, exists in God

energy and/or matter can never be created or destroyed. God has always existed. he was the Big Bang that created all

Welcome to MyLot.
If you want a further more detailed explanation of this, you might like to delve into Catholic Theology. I don't somehow feel a driving need to establish such a thing. I think we spend far too much of our time either living in the past or wishing for a future we don't do much about changing. Too few of us are content to live completely in the present moment. As I see it, it's God's problem who created God & if God is not bothered by it, then neither am I!

Creator and creations like cause and effect, God is the cause we are effect, since all creations is effect so there will only one cause, God, creator, if He created, then hes not God but creations. If u ask who created the effect would be irrelevabt with the contex I said.
