How did God come into existence?

Here is just a simple theory:

Some theologians have debated whether or not God lives in another dimension as to where in that dimension self creation is plausible and a reality, then to get into contact with our physical world there is the Holy Spirit and Jesus, because the Bible refers to Jesus as the "Word" and then later tells us that through the "Word" all things in this world were created.

So basically God in that dimension created Himself, and then created Jesus and the Holy Spirit within Himself to reach us.

This question keeps getting asked on here by atheists, because it "is deemed unanswerable because the only possible reply from those who believe in the objective reality of God is 'No one made God.' And if no one made God, then he can't be there, can he? After all, for every effect there must be a cause, and an effect that has no cause must be imaginary. Once again, in their enthusiasm to prove their point, the proponents of this argument get their shoes on the wrong feet, entangling physics with metaphysics. Cause and effect do indeed reign supreme in the physical realm and the natural world - both science and normal life would be impossible unless they did. But why should they operate in the same manner in a spiritual realm (if such exists)? We have a choice. Firstly, we can assert a priori that there is no such thing as a spiritual realm - that nothing exists that is not physical and open to scientific investigation. On this basis we can proceed to claim, with some logical justification, that every possible effect must have a cause, because that is how the physical world works. But what we cannot do is use this claim to disprove the existence of God on the grounds that he doesn't have a cause. Why not? Because our argument would be completely circular. We begin by assuming that no spiritual realm exists (so goodbye, God) and conclude by 'proving' our initial assumption. Big deal." "Unanswerable questions are not necessarily clever questions... A question can be unanswerable because it is a nonsense question." [The question] 'How long is a piece of string’ is unanswerable not because there is no such thing as a piece of string, nor because a given piece of string has an indeterminate length. It is a nonsense question because it fails to define which piece of string is being talked about. ‘Who made God?’ is ‘unanswerable’ for the same basic reason – the word ‘God’ is left undefined. What if we define ‘God’ as ‘the uncreated creator of all things’? …Then the nonsense of the question becomes immediately obvious – ‘Who created the uncreated one?’ And if we define God as a lesser being who was created by some other entity – or as Richard Dawkins might insist has evolved from some simpler substance because he is too complex to just exist – we are forced to transfer the nonsense question to this higher entity or simpler substance. And that, of course, would take us back to where we started.” Show me the piece of string, then I will tell you how long it is. But your question is not merely unanswerable, it is stupid and insulting to all intelligent atheists.

Gods came into existence at the dawn of human philosophy when primitive humans were trying to explain terrifying natural events, but had no methodology for examining evidence in order to discover the truth. Instead they used stories about supernatural beings that had enough power to cause the terrifying events. This made them feel better, because they then had an explanation for the why, and could then feel like they had some level of control by attempting to appease and curry favor with these gods. It's not much different with the Christians... by following their primitive beliefs, they feel like there's someone in control of the world's events, and they can feel a level of control themselves by attempting to curry favor with their god. This is why they attack those that don't believe as they do... if there are people that don't believe, and they aren't being punished for their non-belief, then they feel a little less in control of the world. By attacking these people (verbally, physically, emotionally, politically), they can claim to be "doing the Lord's work", thereby giving control back to their fictional father figure. This makes them feel more secure, at the expense of everyone else.

Others much more intelligent than you have asked this question of themselves over the ages and have had the good common sense to just let it be when they realized it was the beginning of a never ending series.

Since you don't seem to get it, I'll explain in more detail. If I was to know how God came about, then I would have to ask how the creator of God came about and then how the creator of the creator of God came about, ad infinitum. You see it's an infinite series of questions that arises.

Finally, your logic escapes me when you say it "begs the question ..." First, you're mixing apples and oranges - faith and science. They don't mix. Second, proposing possible answers to questions is the very bedrock of science and certainly at the center of philosophy. Without speculation, humankind does not progress for innovation in ourselves and others is not stimulated.

I know there is a Primary Cause for all this that we are and enjoy but do not adhere to any of the organized or disorganized religions. I am an unaffiliated deist who simply believes in an impersonal Creator and accepts this without proof - on faith.

The Bible is clear that God has always been and always will be. He is the Eternal One. He lives apart from time and space as we know it. He had no beginning and will have no end, which is one of the reasons he is God Almighty. Perhaps you need to rethink your definition of "God." Creation does explain the origin of the universe because it explains that before Creation there was no universe. God brought it into being. That is actually pretty basic, sound logic and not so difficult to understand.

Blessings.

God always was and always will be...inevitably you must come back to an "uncaused cause." Our finite minds cannot fathom that any more than they can fathom all of this coming from a big bang...what/who caused the bang to happen or the motion that caused the bang to happen and where did the "matter" or mass come from that began moving and eventually exploded, and how did it explode just right to cause all of this? Eventually, if you go back far enough, it is too far for us to understand because there has to have been something with no beginning. The first uncaused cause is the one that started everything in motion, the evolution of the world in such a way that it is easy to see the intelligence behind it.

The author created the God character as the primary theme of the first work of the series, while using him as a foil for all the secondary characters. Without the God character the entire work would have lacked direction.

Ar first their was nothing but life energy.some call that energy the life force. many 1000s of years ago it was called mana. then prana.and now its called orgone energy,

from this energy entities came into being,over a vast amount of time. and they elected one of them to be God.the one God which controls the spiritual realms and the others became angels,of which one of them became the Prince of the power of the air.which controls the physical realms.since their has to be opposites in all things.their has to be good and evil.an up and down. a negative and positive .etc.

this is my theory.

whats yours?

May the holy spirit of God be with you

I believe in God, but I agree there is a problem.

Creationists oppose the idea that the universe always was (or, rather, the singularity it came from), yet they have no problem with a God who always was. Hmmm.....

abram,

When Moses was called by God from a burning bush that was not consumed, we read these words, "And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?

14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you."

The name "I AM" means the self-existant one. That is, God always was-He had no beginning.

In Revelation 1:8 the Bible states, "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty."

This verse parallels the verses in Job. God has always been. God existed before there was "time." Our minds cannot conceive this because we think in terms of days and years. God created the calendar and clock we utilize by the sun and moon. The Hebrew calendar is based on the phases of the moon which completes the phases every 29.5 days. I mentioned the sun because the light we see from the moon is reflected from the sun.
