Who created God?

The Bible makes it clear that God exists in eternity.

The Bible makes it clear that God exists in eternity. He has at all times existed. He did not have a begin. There are numerous verses of Scripture that attest to the truth that God is everlasting, he’s everlasting.

Didn’t you recognize? You didn’t hear? THE Gentleman he’s the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He would not faint or get drained; understanding him is inscrutable. (Isaiah 40:28)

Earlier than the mountains had been born, earlier than you fashioned the earth and the world, from eternal to eternal you might be God. (Psalm 90:2)

To the King of ages, immortal, invisible, one God, honor and glory ceaselessly and ever. Amen. (1 Timothy 1:17)

The everlasting God is your abode, and beneath are the everlasting arms. (Deuteronomy 33:27)

As soon as at a convention, a boy of about ten approached me and requested: Lord, if God created us, who created God? How do you reply this query for a small little one?

Properly, I instructed him, if somebody created God, then you need to have a larger God.

The boy replied: Sure, sir.

I mentioned, however now you’ve got an issue: who created the best God? You’d then want a larger, larger God who created the larger God who created God. Then I continued, Who created the larger, larger God? Now you would want a much bigger, greater, greater God who made the larger, greater God who made the larger God who made God.

We may preserve going again with greater and greater and greater ceaselessly. . . after which you must transfer on. The one factor that is smart is having the best God of all, the infinite and everlasting God of the Bible. The one true God who has at all times existed. It had no starting.

Now that is troublesome, actually unimaginable, for us to know why we’re created, finite beings. The house, the mass, the temporal universe by which we reside was created. We expect by way of all the pieces that has a starting as a result of we’re finite beings who’ve had a starting. Which means that there’ll at all times be a religion facet to understanding who God is. We can’t scientifically show that God exists in an absolute sense as a result of we would not have all the knowledge. Solely God does. That’s the reason God’s Phrase states,

And with out religion it’s unimaginable to please him, as a result of whoever needs to get nearer to God should consider that he exists and that he rewards those that search him. (Hebrews 11:6)

You will need to perceive, nevertheless, that this isn’t blind religion. It’s a religion that offers which means to what we observe on this world. Observational science, in some ways, confirms this perception time and time once more (however that is for one more weblog).

It’s a religion that offers which means to what we observe on this world. Observational science, in some ways, confirms this perception over and over.

Discover that if you begin studying the primary e-book of the Bible, it states: To start with, God. . . . In different phrases, God’s Phrase begins with God. He exists. He wasn’t created. The Phrase of God doesn’t purport to display that God exists; claims that God exists! He’s and as he repeatedly states in Scripture, I’m.

I clarify all of this, together with the religion facet, to put individuals once they ask me that query about who made God. However then I ask them questions on what they consider.

Following my debate with Invoice Nye (TV’s Science Man) in 2014 on the Creation Museum, we answered questions posed by viewers members. One of many questions got here from a bit boy who requested: the place does matter come from? Invoice Nye replied, I do not know. It is a large thriller. I replied, there’s a e-book [the Bible] which tells us the place matter comes from.

Atheists might mock Christians for believing in an everlasting God, however what do they consider? The place does matter come from? Why is there something? The place does the vitality come from? Why does time exist? Why does house exist? Is matter everlasting? Did matter immediately come out of nowhere for no purpose? And the way do they clarify the legal guidelines of nature which are immaterial? And why do these legal guidelines keep the identical and do not evolve? Atheists finally haven’t any solutions! They might have all types of opinions and beliefs (blind religion), however the backside line is that they haven’t any definitive solutions.

I recall the atheist Richard Dawkins stating that it’s attainable to postulate that life was seeded on earth by aliens from outer house. Clearly, atheists can’t clarify how life on earth may come up from matter by random processes, so one among their methods round that is to assert that life got here from outer house. All they did was transfer the origin of life on earth to a different planet. However then we would ask the place do the aliens from one other planet who sowed life on earth come from? Properly, perhaps different aliens seeded life on that planet to develop into aliens who would seed life on earth. However then the place do the aliens who sowed life on that different planet come from? Had been there different aliens who seeded life on that planet in order that aliens may come up to seed life on one other planet in order that aliens may come up and seed life on earth? I feel atheists could be blissful to consider in everlasting aliens however not an everlasting God. And it’s because believing within the everlasting God means accepting that he created us, he owns us and units the foundations. Thus, abortion is homicide, marriage is a person and a girl, and so on. These atheists need to be their very own god, so they may settle for all types of ridiculous concepts reasonably than believing the plain To start with, God. . . .

God cherished man a lot, He offered a method of salvation for man in order that his sin could possibly be forgiven and he may spend eternity with the everlasting God.

It’s the atheists who’ve blind religion. They consider that house, mass and time one way or the other existed ceaselessly or got here into existence for some purpose and that one way or the other matter gave rise to life in opposition to all the pieces we observe and know in regards to the legal guidelines of nature.

As I’ve mentioned many instances, atheism is a faith, a perception system. There is no such thing as a non-religious place. Atheists have a religion, however it’s a blind, incredulous religion. Christians have religion, however it’s an goal religion that offers which means to life and the universe and a religion that observational science confirms.

The place do you place your religion?

In everlasting matter?

Within the everlasting aliens?

Or within the everlasting God who created all issues and created the primary man and girl?

The primary man, the chief of mankind, rebelled in opposition to God, bringing sin and loss of life into the world. However God cherished man a lot, He offered a method of salvation for man in order that his sin could possibly be forgiven and he may spend eternity with the everlasting God.

Didn’t you recognize? You didn’t hear? THE Gentleman he’s the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He would not faint or get drained; understanding him is inscrutable. (Isaiah 40:28)

For God so cherished the world that he gave his solely begotten Son, that whoever believes in him shouldn’t perish however have everlasting life. (John 3:16)
