Who created God?

Dear Brother Ron

I hate questions challenging beliefs, but I need to know your rational opinion on this? I want you to speak rationally when you answer my question - real world rationality. Restating your position is not an answer.

Who created God?

And before you say "he just existed", please realize that this is just as bad as an atheist saying, "We just existed from time immemorial...the end", or "The big bang happened and we just came into existence". If you can comprehend this hipocrisy, then find a a way around it and give me an unbiased answer.

Dear Noctec

Your question assumes that God is confined by the same laws of time and space which define reality for us humans. He's not. You and I can only be in one place at a time. And we are trapped in the flow of time, unable to move forward or backward by even one second. Furthermore, we are confined to a certain reality in which certain things have happened and will happen, producing certain results.

Now imagine a being who can move freely within the dimensions of space, time and possibility. He can be anywhere, any time and anyhow and he can occupy all parts of an infinite number of dimensions simultaneously. Most people find this hard, if not impossible to comprehend. Let me give you a small example.

This is Herman. I am God and I just created him. Now Herman is alive but he exists within the limits of your computer screen. Since Herman is a two-dimensional being, he can move from side to side and up and down. But he can not jump off the screen and stand on your desk. This is outside the limits of Herman's reality.

You and I, on the other hand, can move freely about the entire planet and experience a world which Herman can not comprehend, let alone experience. Now take that concept and mutiply times infinity. This gives you some idea of why we find the concept of God so hard to understand and keep trying to shrink Him down to our size.

When you understand God as ruler of an infinite number of dimensions, the idea of a God who has always existed makes perfect sense because for Him, the words past, present and future have no meaning. They are all the same to Him. God is watching the world being born NOW and He is watching it end NOW. Jesus told us the same thing.

John 8:57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? John 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

This is not a grammatical error. He was trying to explain the timeless nature of God to them. Obviously, the people He was talking to had a problem understanding this concept. We are still having the same problem today.

Hope this helps.

Best always
Brother Ron
