Where does God get his power? Where did the first God get his power?

This is another one of those thought provoking questions. If God is reliant upon the universe, because it is eternal and he is not, then where does his power come from? Something caused him to gain his power. The question is more importantly asked of the first God.

The God of the Bible does not have this problem. He is the uncaused one. This is what the God of the Bible said:


Psalm 90:2 Before the mountains were born
Or You gave birth to the earth and the world,
Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.

God is eternal and outside of time.
The Cosmos is subject to time and temporary.

Nobody can answer your question, yet.
