My Question is if God created all things...what created him...I am sorry but Nothing comes from nothing...How did everything begin according to the bible...what made God...well a God? Nothing just is/was/and always will be....sorry but that doesnt hold any weight...I want to know what created everything?

I just want an honest clear answer...and I cant stand people who say that it is an illogical question...It is very logical...nothing comes from nothing...If there is a GOD, what or who created him...If he was created...who or what created the original creator?

I think this is one of those questions that has no answer. The question is not logical to me, because if you are not a believer, one wouldn't ask in the first place. And, if you are a believer, you accept through faith that god is outside of natural laws.

The question of who created god only makes sense in the context of pointing out the fallacy of his existence.

Fracturedman, my friend, please don't let me be one of those people you can't stand!

Exactly right....A question that cannot be answered, because nobody knows.

Dont get me wrong, right now I am in the gray area of having faith and not having faith. It just doesnt make sense to me that I would worship a God that would allow so much attrocoties to happen to his own creations, his own children.

I am an artist and with everything I create I pour passion into it, a bit of myself goes into everything. I look after everything I create with protective eyes, just as I would If I had a son. If I were a father, nothing my child could do would take that love from me and I would be there for them.

Think of all the things that are happening in this world? We live in a world where bad news sells and good news goes unnoticed. Has God left us to start over...has he abandoned us for our mistakes that he installed in us himself.

If there is a God, and he created us, why did he put evil in our hearts? I just dont get it.

Why is it that all these religions that beleive in GOD, Jesus, and the Bible cannot agree with each other on alot of topics. As far as I know there is only one God, Jesus, and Bible...so why dont these religions work together for peace instead of working against each other and other groups for hate?

I know how the world works, its tragic, sickening, and heartbreaking. When if you strip away all sociological characteristics such as Race, sex, religion, color, education, and background all we want is to be happy, why do we need others to be unhappy for us to be happy?

If there is a GOD why would he allow this to go on?

Better question is why do we exist here with no answers? My opioin is to escape the truth that we exist forever. You need a break from that reality from time to time. Don't you agree!!!!!!!!

God is the creator and he's without a creator and a sustainer and he's completely independent from this creation.He's without beginning and without end.

Hence, it is ultimately impossible to say whether there is or is not a God. You can have all the faith you like, or you can be as convinced against the idea as the staunchest atheist, but, in the end, it is all speculation. Nobody knows for sure, no matter what they might think they do.
