How Did Your God Or Goddess Come To Exist?

Well in the first place I have no goddess. I only have one God and He is not created, And my dear if a god needs to be created then he is no longer the god of all gods. If he was created then there is somebody more supreme than him and therefore he could not worth the name God. My God is the God of the Bible and He is the God of all Gods so there is no reason to ask how my God was created because He is the creator of all things and was not created by anyone else. So if you were to ask me, then I would say... God is not at all created. God have always been in existence. God is not caused by anyone or any any thing. God caused all creations to exist but He was not caused by anyone. It takes faith to believe this. I am glad I have this faith so I accepted this fact because I don't think I should ever bother myself in doubting this truth. I would not want to have the mind of an Atheist who always states that if all things need a cause, then God must also need a cause. I don't wanna be a fool after all. Well, I am very contented and secured in my faith that I have an ever existing God, the Creator. I don't have even a bit of doubt to the truth that my God exists. All creations and my own conscience speak this truth and there is nothing that will change my belief about my God and His unique attributes.

"Even if God or in some cases Goddess was timeless they would still need to be created." Why? How did you come to that conclusion? If you think God has to have been created by someone or something, do you then ask who or what created the creator of God? Where does it end? My God did not, "come to exist," because He has always been and will always be.

Why is it that you cant swallow that there is a being that has always existed but can that the universe came from nothing? What about infinite big and infinite small? Or the fact that energy has always been even before the creation of this universe or if you follow "M" theory you have to admit that there has always been something else around before the beginning of our universe. What if religion was trying to teach ancient man these concepts that modern man is just now discovering for themselves. Things like energy is eternal, that we are limited by our understanding of the things we can measure, IE: atom used to be smallest but now we are down to make up of atoms and the make up of those particles. Why do we assume that we know everything there is to know when every generation learn the old generation is mistaken but yet we still claim to false theories like evolution when it doesn't have any proof except that evolution happens within a species alone. Do you know how little scientist knew about the complexities of a single cell in Darwin's day? Or that at the time he published his book many still believed in spontaneous regeneration, not disproved until Louis Pasteur refuted it scientifically. I feel that atheist who use this argument are using a cop out also especially when they than turn around and follow the same line of thinking that they accuse people with beliefs of having.

That has been a question I've wondered about since I was a child. There is no answer! If God was created, who created the Creator? And who created the Creator that created the Creator? It's the old "what came first, the chicken or the egg?" question. It's like trying to imagine infinity, your mind can only go so far! Believe me, I've tried.

As far as I'm concerned, the God I serve and love has always existed. I understand that it's hard for us, who live in a four dimensional world, to understand "before time," but I know of no other way to explain the existence of God. Everything in our earthly world has a beginning and an end and I think that's why no beginning is so hard for many to accept. Since man can't identify God's beginning, he wants to dismiss Him altogether. Not understanding "before time" is a very weak argument to be against the existence of God. Although science has made great strives in innumerable areas, it has never been able to duplicate what God has created, and I believe science proves the existence of God. Besides, what difference does it make if or how God came into being. He exists. He created the world in which we live. He created the laws that rule our universe. Instead of getting all worked up about whether or not God had a beginning, just accept that he exists and start looking for Him. When you find the true and living God, you might be surprised of the impact He will have on your life.

God is the first and he is the last, he is the giver of life , the creator, the deadly. he has 99 names.

Try this statement on for size.... Man can become as God now is. And God was as Man now is. With this idea in mind I believe that in a "Eternal Prospectinve" God is simply creator of what we know. And at one point God may have been mortal like us. The concept is a bit difficult to grasp but since there is no beginning and no end, then the each "God" would have come from somewhere. And that thought I think is a bit to hard for me to grasp.

This is why God tells us to not to try to understand this. All we have to do is believe in Him. What makes you think God had to be created? Just because you cannot understand the concept of something that has no beginning or end does not mean it is false. All that means is that we are incapable of understanding the true nature of God. If you want to learn about God, then read the Bible.

God has always been. HE has no need for someone to create HIM because if that were so, HE would not be GOD. You are seeing it from man's angle. If GOD were created, and someone a higher power created HIM then you do not need to obey HIM. You will search for other supreme being and worship HIM OR you will think that there is no need to obey God because that HE is a created being. And we are supposed to worship the Creator rather then the creature. Now that sounds like a cop out and an excuse. Besides God is a spiritual being and with spiritual beings, one does not need material stuff. God did enter the womb of the virgin Maty and become Jesus Christ and that is the only way that God actually became a created being, but then HE was is and always shall be.

Mankind has a long way to go before there is understanding. You base your question on the physical laws of this universe. You can only think in terms of linear time. Let me point you in a direction. Quantum physics is showing that other universes exist in other dimensions. Can you even picture one of these??? How about a dimension where time does not exist.Everything just is. One thing is clear. There is lots more to learn. Simple answers to simple questions will never be the real answers. We must get out of our narrow thinking based solely on what is easy to see, our universe and it's laws.

Creation is a misnomer; manifestation is the keyword. Creation brings along with it a series of unanswered queries, one of which you have rightly posed. Another significant pertinent question is how can something come out of nothing? On the other hand, manifestation makes complete sense with respect to science, logic and Yoga. [mysticism] The one seed source manifests as many. This is an observable fact. Science talks of the GUF on similar lines. And since the source, which in mystical source they call the 'Absolute Consciousness' is self existent and eternal, there arises no question as to how it came to exist. The universe is considered a manifestation of the same source.

In our religion, we started praying the Nature that helps us to live and that all God have been named.Also When there is a God , there should be Goddess too. For some God, Goddess named.Besides this , each area, some man or women sacrificed their life and some exemplary deeds to safe guard others from eventuality and they have been remembered as God/Goddess in that areas.My religion is Hindu.

Some would argue that God/dess came into being when humans needed one, that Deity is a concept given form by the human mind and set up as an object of veneration by that same human and those who followed. Some of the earliest identifiable roots for polytheism date back to around 3100 BCE in ancient Egypt, and for monotheism to about 2000 BCE with the patriarch Abraham. Historically, not all cultures have even had deities per se, but did venerate the spirits of ancestors and of Nature -- the Japanese and some Native American tribes are perhaps the best known peoples who did not venerate a central pantheon or supreme being until relatively modern times. With the historical success of Middle Eastern monotheism -- Judaism, Christianity and Islam -- it is easy to overlook the vast diversity of human belief in both the past and in the present. Thank you for taking the time to stop and ask questions. I sincerely hope you continue to do so.

God has always existed. There is no explanation. We just trust that God has a reason for everything.

there is a law of science which says it is impossible for there to be utter emptiness.. therefor I believe there must be a first element.. and that this first element is Life, Perfection, consciousness, yet not as an impersonal force, but a very personal and alive consciousness we call God. (Now we have paradox because God chose to endow thinking ability to the little consciousness' he created and split from his own essence..) I believe many gods and goddesses came about as explanations of natural forces, or as bits and pieces of the divine nature.. hence a goddess of love, or fertility, god of war, etc..

No clue, only God could answer that, until someone gets the chance to do that, I'll worry about more important things.

As for me, I believe in God, the only one God, the God of all Gods, which is what describe in the Bible. No mortal can answer that question, its not even written in the bible where, how, and why God exists, but stated that "I am the alpha and omega", so we know what God meant by those words. If people believe in God, and devoted his/her life for him. I also had a lot of questions, about God, about human creation, does god really exist?, or we are just a guinea pig closed in a big cage ready for experiment. God can only answer that question, time will come that we will all know about our God that we believe in. People believing in God that they not see him yet are more blessed, that to those who already see him. Strong faith is the key to know what you are seeking, if you want explanation, why don't you pray for it. If you are worthy and ready to know that, god will let you know the answer, but some question, may take a lifetime or even reach the end of time to be answer, and i think this question is one of them. There are lot of false answer in the web, believe in God first then pray before you seek, so you may not be fall to the wrong answer and your faith in God will not be crust... godbless...
