how did God become him self?

He always was the Bible says he was the Alpha the Omega the Beginning and the End the First and The Last. I'm sure there is an explanation to who, what, and where God came from but that is all he has supplied us for now in his word. We will never know everything, there probably wouldn't be any use for God to go into anymore details with us as to who he is because our human bodies would not be able to comprehend. God has given us the knowledge we need to live a life pleasing to him and that is all we need for now. =)

We can know the nature of God through Jesus Christ who is the express image of His Father.  Read the book of John in the Bible.  You will see what God is like.  Jesus Christ puts the skin on God so to speak.  \n\nHebrews 1:2-3 tells us: "[God] has in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; who is the brightness of His [the Father's] glory, and the express image of His Person . . ."  Christ was in the likeness of His Father in nature and character.  This tells us that God is quite awesome, loving, kind, and true.  He is not just some Person that is completely unknowable.  I know Him more and more each day.  He's very, very real.

Okay bear with me on this one. Your question answers itself.\n\nIf God created *everything* then God created himself.\n\nIf he didnt then he can't be a part of *everything*.

NO one did. He always existed. Its hard for us to comprehend this because we are created beings. We had a beginning. God did not.\n\nGod created all that is so already knew everything. Since we had to learn this is a bit hard to comprehend too.

God created everything, and He is everywhere - but God is not equivalent with His creation.  He is the all-knowing, all-powerful, all-sufficient One to Whom all things are subject.  No, He is not an atom, although how brilliant of Him to conceive the concept!

why would god have rules on himself?\n\nGod does as He wishes and no one can put restrictions on His power...at least that is what i believe... i mean, if you believe in God, who else is greater than Himself? no one, so only He controls what he does...therefore He doesn't need rules to control that which cannot be controlled in anyway

GOD and his own intentions.

You must first wonder what the hell he was doing for the previous trillion,god zillion years.\nWas he standing in the middle of nothing and being the god of nothing?\nWhat the hell was his reason for being?\nHe couldn't be considered a god at that time.\nWouldn't he have to be god of something?

God exists in many forms so he may come to Earth with as many bodies and personalities as he chooses. Like the avatars of Lord Vishnu, Krishna included.

Or another way to ask your question, what CAUSED God?  Only things that have a beginning require a cause to get started.  Seeing God had no beginning, he did not require anything to cause Him to be.  I think He said it best when He said, "I am".

God says that he IS the Beginning and the End, the Alpha and the Omega. By his own Word, he had a beginning. It is simply not for us to understand. We, as humans, are limited in our knowledge. God is omnipotent.

God created man through His Son Jesus Christ.  We were formed from the Earth and made in God's image.  He then blew the breath of life into us that we became a living being, body and spirit.

I think that altering the image of god is what is meant by man.\nWe have to change the preconceptions of not only ourselves but of god if we want to evolve. God is the reflection of man, and we are a reflection of gods spirit, and because we change, so must god. God knew that the only way to find our way back  to him was through our own understanding of ourself through adversity.\nWhen god first created us he wanted us to be light of spirit like a child. But we opened our hearts to the conflict of good and evil.\nTHe comparison of one another in spirit, and now in the flesh.\n And once you become aware there is no turning back and that the only way to find that lightening of spirit like a child is to let go of our earthly stigma and reflect on ourselves so that we may know god. It is, or he is the piece,the reflection that lives within. \nSo he is a relfection of us because we are a reflection of him.\nI wish you well.

i love your question!\nbut You are going to go round and round in circles forever because you are not accepting the fact that God is "I AM". He said that about Himself and it means that He exists within Himself and is eternally sustained by Himself. \nHe exists totally without any need of anything else. \nThat is because he's God and we are not.  He's the Beginning and the End.\nWorship Him as the creator and end- all and be- all of everything. \nHow awesome and mind- blowing!! \nPraise His name, all you ends of the earth!!

I don't think anyone has really answered this question.  I found out that everything I was being taught about God were lies or mistruths and was very upset.  I have since set out on my own spiritual quest and have a much better understanding of our creator.  Don't believe everything anybody tells you (even the authors of the bible).  Seek and ye shall find.  God is within.

Easy, he can't.\n\nBut that is not too difficult to see once you realize that there is no God in the first place.\n\nThere are other contradictions as well. For example, God is supposed to be omniscient (all-knowing) as well as omnipotent. So if He knows everything He knows the future. So He knows what He will do in the future. So how can He be omnipotent if He can't do something other than what He knows He will do. He is not powerful enough to overcome His own foreknowledge.\n\nGod is supposed to be omnibenevolent, all-loving (in my opinion the weakest of all Christian characterizations of God). If so, God is not powerful enough to control His own emotions. He can't "not love" something.

God is a figment of mans imagination, therefore he is whatever you think he is. Imagine he changes and he changes.
