Where did God come from?
375402
God exisited before everything and will last when everything ends as he created everything...\n\nIt is not possible for him to be a God and therefore have the attributes of God unless he is all knowing, everlasting etc.\n\nOne verse I know states somthing along the lines of "He begets not, nor was he begotton" meaning, he has no father and he has no father...\n\nThink about it, if God came from another being then there would be something above him and therefore he wouldnt be all powerful and the chian would continue because where would his father come from and the father before him?

God wasn't created.  He evolved from Apes.

No, everything came from a source, but its name was never Jehovah.\n\n"In many cultures it is customary to answer that God created the universe out of nothing. But this is mere temporizing. If we wish courageously to pursue the question, we must, of course ask next where God comes from? And if we decide this to be unanswerable, why not save a step and conclude that the universe has always existed?" ~Carl Sagan

Hello Rendier.. :)\n\nI just heard the other day, a scientist that said that you cannot produce something out of nothing..\n\nSo how then can they say, that the universe came from nothing..\n\nGod created the Heavens and the Earth..that makes more sense..It just seems to easy for those that do not believe in God..

physics has shown that time is a property that is the result of the existence of matter.  Time exists when matter exists.  Time has even been called the fourth dimension.  But God is not matter.  In fact, God created matter.  He created the universe.  So, time began when God created the universe.  Before that, God was simply existing and time had no meaning (except conceptually), no relation to Him.  Therefore, to ask where God came from is to ask a question that cannot really be applied to God in the first place.  Because time has no meaning with God in relation to who He is, eternity is also not something that can be absolutely related to God.  God is even beyond eternity.

Let us not forget:  Man created God, not the other way around.  Man created God to get him through whatever dilemna he was facing at the time.  Can't explain something rationally?  "Must be a god out there calling all the shots, right"?  Wrong.  There is a scientific explaination for EVERYTHING, it's just that we are not smart enough to know EVERYTHING yet.  In time.....

If God is a myth then he cannot be from any planet since mythical characters by definition are not real.\n\nIf "in ancient myth" is removed from the question the answer is yes, if he exists, unless you believe God originates on this planet, which would seem to contradict most if not all deistic beliefs.\n\nMy point is that really, almost all conceptions of God are that he does not originate on earth, is therefore "from another planet", and thus an alien. The next question is, "are we aliens too?"

God "creates" all humans in that he is the designer of the universe and if you read Genesis 1 (as I'm guessing you have) then you'll find that God created Adam from the dust of the ground.  The trinity (though something I would agree with in principal) is not something directly mentioned in the Bible, but it illustrates that God is 3 in 1 (The Father, Son and Holy Spirit/Ghost) as he exists as a Heavenly Father, Jesus (who walked the earth in human form and who was fully God AND fully man - difficult concept for many to grasp and I'm not saying I have a definitive answer either!) and the Holy Spirit/Ghost - the form in which He lives within our (that is born-again Christian's) lives.  I believe that Adam's "inherant" intelligence was like ours is now though he did not have the advantage of "evolutions of thought" that have occured over the (12,000?) years that the earth has existed.  Also, Jesus was born of a virgin (i.e. one who had not had sex) through the power of God the Father, thus although he had an earthly mother and father (Mary and Joseph), he was not conceived as a child as you or I were.\n\nTo summarize, Adam was created from the dust of the ground as a "young?" man, not conceived of any parents but Jesus was conveived of the Spirit, that is God, and born of Mary, a virgin, as a babe.  What we need to remember is that God's foolishness is higher than man's or woman's intelligence and wisdom.  Don't expect to know all the answers to the universe...  That's God's job!

OK, according to the Bible, the creation of the heavens and the earth was "the beginning". So, we don't know what God was up to before that time (and in most views, this is irrelevant because God is 'timeless').\nWe are given no explanation of where God came from, it is simply assumed that God always has been (no matter what belief system, Evolution, Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hindu, or any other, there comes a point where you simply have to say "I don't know where it/He/we came from").\nBack to the Bible ... Since 'the begining' is the creation of heavens and earth, NOTHING (other than God) existed before that time. God then began a process of 'forming' and 'filling' His creation. This process took Him six days. On day one, He created light and separated it from the darkness, calling it one day. This was the forming of the heavens (space/time).\nOn day two, He formed the atmosphere by separating the waters above from the waters beneath.\nOn day three, He begins to fill what He has formed, starting with the earth, separating the water from the land, and filling the land with growing things (plants).\nOn day four, He fills the heavens (above the atmosphere) with the sun, moon, and stars (probably the angels were created on this day as well).\nOn day five, He fills the water with fish (and other water-dwelling creatures), and the firmament (atomosphere) with birds (and other flying creatures)\nOn day six, He filled the land with all land-dwellers and created man in His own image to rule over the earth as the Vice-regent of God. \nOn day Seven, God rested from (stopped) the work of creation.\nNow, Genesis chapter 2 is often mis-understood to be a contradiction of Genesis 1 because of some differences in the order of creation, and some added details, so I will try to give a little understanding to this. Have you aver read a newspaper headline? Gen. 1 is the 'headline' and the main article is in Gen. 2. This is a detailed account of what happened on day 6, where God made a garden, placed the man in the garden, and then created one of each 'kind' of creation right before his eyes so the man could name them and rule them in equity. Then God created the woman to be with the man (by this time, Adam knew he needed a mate too!)\nIn the garden Adam and Eve had only ONE restriction - They were free to do ANYTHING they wanted to do with the exception of eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. They were clearly told the penalty of this would be death.\nIn spite of this knowledge, they both ate of the tree, and as a result, death entered the world, and the perfect creation of God was ruined. Instead of killing Adam and Eve though, God provided a 'loophole' in the law, and an animal (probably a lamb) was killed instead. In this way Adam and Eve saw the result of their sin brought death into the world, but God spared their lives for the time. By clothing them in the skins of the animal killed in their stead, God was giving them a constant reminder of the result of sin, and reminding them that He accepted them through the substitution of the animal killed in their place.\nThen God makes an extraordinary promise (Gen. 3:15) That the seed of the woman would crush the head of the serpent who deceived her.\n\nWe now skip ahead to a time when evil has grown on the earth to the point God can no longer stand it (Gen. 6), and men have stopped caring whether or not they are in right standing with God, forsaking the sacrifice, and offending God in all their thoughts and deeds (possibly because even though Adam lived to the age of 930 years, he eventually did die). \nBut there is one man (Adam's great, great, great, great, great, great, granson) who is still seeking God, and observing the sacrifice for atonement of sin. This man's name was Noah, and God judged the entire world with a flood, but spared Noah and his family (as well as each k

We all came from GOD.

God. (cheating) This explanation is what everyone eventually resorts to when the other answers fail. Now, before I go any further, I should make clear that I'm not talking about any of the gods defined in various religions. Throughout all of human history, we've been trying to explain existence. But nobody has ever succeeded. And it's likely that nobody ever will. So we create the concept of God, whose only necessary property is being "that which explains existence." \n\nThis doesn't tell us much about god, though. It doesn't mean that any particular religion is correct. It merely defines god as something which answers The Question, because we have not been able to. \nread this: http://www.toykeeper.net/philosophy/knowledge

I would start with the origins of the universe ... if God created everything we see (and He did), then what is God like? What is our responibility to Him? What is His responsibility to us? Is it possible that we have offended God? If we have offended, what needs to happen to make it right? Has God communicated to His creation? How? Is it possible to know the absolute truth? What would God look like if He was in a Human body? How would God in human flesh treat people? What would he say? Why would a supreme God submit Himself to the ignomity of humanity? How would I relate to this God? What would this God require of me? Is there an afterlife? what is it like? \nJesus provides the answers to all these questions (and more).

We come from God. He creates and forms us in the womb and gives us our spirit. We are here to experience good and evil and decide which is best. We have a free will to decide where we go next. If we seek God we will find him.

Soul's always been there. You don't get it from anywhere, it don't come from no where. It's always been there. Your question can be interpreted in a lot of ways, gotta be more specific. Where do you think the soul comes from, when do you think we get the soul. Are you a christian, what are you?
