What came before God?

God is eternal Bible verses – What does the Bible say?

God is eternal; therefore, every promise endures for all generations.

Heirs – “. . . Christ is the mediator of a new covenant [agreement], that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance . . .” (Hebrews 9:15).

His Son – “. . . He [Jesus Christ] suffered, and once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him” (Hebrews 5:9).

Hope – “. . . according to his [God’s] eternal purpose which he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord. In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence” (Ephesians 3:11-12).

God is eternal; therefore, all that He provides extends into eternity.

Security – “The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms . . . .” (Deuteronomy 33:27).

Hi TesseL, its good that youre constantly questioning your reality and where you come from and how, and your frustration at both having a "why" or a "how" shows you're a thinker, but turning to the Christian god is not an answer as to why or how.

Think about it this way, if you were going to turn to a creator god then you could always turn to the Hindu god Brahma. He was the god of creation, or alternatively you could have the Muslim god known as Allah. Granted he is the same god as the one of christianity but he would profess that a man named Muhammed is the one true word of him, or you could have the Christian god who sent Jesus as the one true word, or prior that Mithra as the son of a god, or Horus, the Egyptian sun god (son of god) before that.

The point is there are so many made up ideas as to how the universe came about, and who dictates the laws of nature, but in reality, no one knows. The only reason we think that a human-like figure rules the galaxy is because we are only uses to human-figures dictating the way our lives are run. The point is that its not a prolen to say that "i dont know". There is no shame whatsoever in not having all the answers, and anyone who claims they do is a downright despicable liar. Also, there is no exitement without mytery and decovery, so enjoy your journey from naïvety to elightnenment, its not a frustration but an exitimg challenge.

I hope you can find your personal comfort and true answes soon. :)

God is a title or position not a personal name. Before God there was a God, and before that God was a God. There is no beginning and no end. Our mortal finite minds demand a beginning and an end. But the word of God tells us that this is not the way it is.

I don't think anyone knows this answer. It kind of reminds me of the question 'What came first, the chicken or the egg?' A lot of Christians are taught not to question the Bible and just accept it. However the Bible is nothing but a history book. It was not written by God, it was written by man. I am believer & a follower of God. I've never doubted his existence, but I wondered that question. Where did he come from? I don't think we will ever have this answer until our time comes and we meet him ourselves. & believe me, when I meet him I have tons of questions for him! My top questions for him is 'Were we made in your image?' Most people would answer yes to this question. However I believe the answer is no. Also, 'Did you create other life?/ Extraterrestrials?' I am a strong believer of Alien life. People will say that they don't exist because its not mentioned in the Bible. But the Bible does mention them! & we have more reasons to believe that there is Alien life over God. Hey, maybe they helped create us! Who are we to say they didn't? Anyway, no one will really know how to answer that question, until God explains it himself.

God is I AM.

There are answers we are incapable of knowing while here in this secular world. Our understanding of all things will be when we are in our heavenly home.

God is the Alpha and the Omega. There has always and will always be God.
