One of the more common questions that arises against the belief in God creating all matter and everything that exists is the universe is "Who created God?" Let me start off by saying, before I answer this question, that if the person reading this is truly looking for an answer to that question, there is no where else to look but the bible. If someone asks this question, they are surely, but subtly, admitting God exists, but they are denying to use the bible as God's truth. This is somewhat ironic as you may be able to see. If you truly are looking for an answer to this question, then I suggest you keep an open mind and believe the resources I am going to use. But if using this question, for you, is just to deny the deity of God, asking a question about God, but not listening to what God tells you, is not the way to go about it.
Now, in the bible, we are told that in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1). If we are too fully understand this verse, we must dig deeper into the meaning of "beginning." Beginning could be reffering to: the beginning of time, the beginning of creation, or, as some may think, the beginng of all thing. However, it is in fact reffering to the beginning of a new dimmension called time. Humans are stuck in time, where as God is not and therefore has been and always is there. Not only does the "beginning" refer to the beginning of time for us, but it is simply an attempt for the human mind to understand how God has always been and always will be. There is no word in the english language, nor in probably any other language, that means "always before the beginning." Why? Because it is impossible to fully understand that deffinition. The reason this is such a difficult concept to grasp is because God did not give us the ability to understand us. But he did give us the ability to believe and trust him, so that is what we must do. We have to simply have faith in God's word, without faith, no person would understand this concept in the least.
Colossians 1:15 tell us:
"He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities-all things were created through him and for him."
Notice it says He is the firstborn of all creation, God was the only thing there was. Nothing created him, He just was. Nothing was there before him, He simply, was. If we think about our own lives, everything we know, see, taste, hear, feel, touch, and smell were created at some point in time. At no point in time, are we physically with something or someone that wasn't created. It is our mere nature to understand that everything is created, it lives, then it dies. God, however, is incomprehendable because he contradicts what our understandable nature tells us, God truly is everlasting. We however, and everything around us, is not.
Revelation: 22:13 "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end."
