I am a Christian but that does not stop me from questioning things I don't understand.

You just listed out a pile of questions which are thought provoking but I have just one for you..

God created the world and everything in it right, but who Created God?
excellent question

That is simple nonsense. Everything has a beginning and you cannot pre-exist your beginning.

everything has a beginning.even he bible says "in the beginning was the word and the word was.......................".though the bible fails to mention how the word came to be.there obviously must have been a beginning before the beginning where the word was present

Now that is a question we have no answer for because a part of me tells me everything MUST have a beginning while another part is refusing to answer the question

lol.i can understand the difficulty in accepting that everythin people have been taught their entire life is just a myth created by some romans that lived thousands of years.it just seems incredulous to accept that their entire belief system isnt as unique as they thought it was.almost every sect,race,tribe and culture overn the past millions of years has created its own deity.each claiming to be the one true way and warning adherrents to stay away from all others.even scientology claims to be the one true way to whatever it is the way leads to.

If GOD is uncreated, why would he create? What did he create the universe? Why can't the universe be uncreated?

all innuendos and stipulations and hypothesis sire. bible plainly says in the beginning was the word. never said nothing about the beginning before the begin. hence the word is timeless. hence the name THE ANCIENT OF DAYS grin

A conflict of sorts within your being. allow yourself to soar. shed the garments of 'conflict and soar and reach for the skies. metaphysically that is cheesy

If GOD is uncreated, why would he create? What did he create the universe? Why can't the universe be uncreated?

Why would he create? Because he can create. Simple

He created the universe because he had plans...he thinks and sees...he's way too smart, smarter than all he created

Why would a God have 'plans' if he's timeless? Aren't plans for those who have a concept of past and future?

campaign.

To make plans.
[French, alteration (influenced by plan, flat surface)
of plant , ground plan, map, from planter , to plant,
from Latin plant re, fromplanta, sole of the
foot; see plat- in Indo-European roots.]


Its common for any thing sensible to have the above bold if they wanna achieve a desired goal, no?

Meanwhile, planning is for the future, not the past. The above definition didn't have anything to do with time/timing...but purpose. Same with you, when you plan, its atimes irrespective to timing but has everything to do with achieving a purpose/desired goal

But in d first place Why does God need to test ur faith as the all knowing one?

There had better been other explanations than "He just wants to test ur faith". That's so lame angry

During the period of the Black Death in europe, questions like this dealt 'the church' a heavy blow because people refused to be fed with 'he just wants to test ur faith'.
