Who created God?

My answer to that is always frustrating to the person who asked it, because they aren't expecting, or perhaps don't want to hear what I have to say as my answer. But nonetheless, here is my view.

God is the Creator. He invented the whole concept of Creation. Only things that are Created have a beginning. But God is not created, since He is the inventor of Creating! So He is not bound by His own invention. Thus, the answer seems to be, logically, that God has no beginning or end, because He is not Created; rather he is the initiator of creation itself.

What do you think about this?

God bless.

But this stuff, like to be very Logic ,Basic, and dual.

Hypothesis A:There is no GOD.
Hypothesis B: There is a GOD.

Hypothesis A : nothing exist.
Hypothesis B: Things exists.

In all these propositions ,know 2 things :I exist ( I'm )and Things exists.

So for me I not a "naïve" if I think that indeed GOD exist.

If it's the " VOID" who exist before Creation ,how to explain that structured things exists.

No a question for the fun , if there is no GOD, Who created the VOID ?

Where is the VOID, have the Void a limit ,Since how much time exist the VOID ?

To one who examines the evidence, there can be no doubt that God exists. Every building has a builder. Everything made has a maker. The fact of the existence of the Creator is axiomatic (self-evident). That’s why the Bible says, "The fool has said in his heart, ‘There is no God’" (Psalm 14:1). The professing atheist denies the common sense given to him by God, and defends his belief by thinking that the question "Who made God?" can’t be answered. This, he thinks, gives him license to deny the existence of God. The question of who made God can be answered by simply looking at space and asking, "Does space have an end?" Obviously, it doesn’t. If there is a brick wall with "The End" written on it, the question arises, "What is behind the brick wall?" Strain the mind though it may, we have to believe (have faith) that space has no beginning and no end. The same applies with God. He has no beginning and no end. He is eternal. The Bible also informs us that time is a dimension that God created, into which man was subjected. It even tells us that one day time will no longer exist. That will be called "eternity." God Himself dwells outside of the dimension He created (2 Timothy 1:9, Titus 1:2). He dwells in eternity and is not subject to time. God spoke history before it came into being. He can move through time as a man flips through a history book. Because we live in the dimension of time, logic and reason demand that everything must have a beginning and an end. We can understand the concept of God’s eternal nature the same way we understand the concept of space having no beginning and end—by faith. We simply have to believe they are so, even though such thoughts put a strain on our distinctly insufficient cerebrums. put a strain on our distinctly insufficient cerebrum.

God was not created, and God is not bound within our concept of time. You see, we try and bring God down to our level, but if you're outside of time, there is no time. it hurts our minds to think that God was never created but has always been, this is simple, we are bound with time/space/mass and everything we know falls along one of these three lines... God is not bound in any of them aswe are, therefore this is why one day to Him is as 1000 years to us, because He is not fully within time

God Is awesome and his creation is evidence of His mighty wonderful artwork that we live in.

In Exodus 3:14, God said to Moses, "I AM" He didn't say, "I came from Bob who came from Jack who came from Jill ..."

And as raphe pointed out, He is the beginning and the end.

Eternal Being.

Not to mention that an infinite regress of temporal events is impossible. How could we be here at this moment in time if it were? Likewise, creation is a temporal event, and one does not spent eternity creating it, I could go on to demonstrate all kinds of problems with that.

Actually, 4 months ago I encountered this question. Between that time and now I have seen it asked about 14 times. There is nothing new under the sun. Everything that is asked today has been asked in the past, and every single time the skeptic asks, he or she thinks it an original one.

To quote one skeptic, "In a moment of genius, I have come up with this argument which you, sss, cannot possibly defeat."

It's not an argument to begin with. -_-

/me suffers brain damage

See, I would find apologetics more fun if there weren't so many people who contradict themselves in a single argument...for example,

"The universe is eternal. But it had a beginning."

Eternal things do not begin. -_-

/me suffers more brain damage
