We know that all things come from God.

At a point Apostle Paul said in Colossians 1:16

“For through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can't see--such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world. Everything was created through him and for him”

In Hebrew 11:3

“By faith we understand that the entire universe was formed at God's command, that what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen.”..

Another version (Berean version) makes it clearer.

“By faith we understand the universe to have been formed by the word of God, so that the things being seen have not been made from the things being visible.”

Logically, we understand that the universe was created by God. What we do not understand is how God himself came to be.

It only means God has always been - had no beginning and will have no ending.

If this is true, could He also have had other co-eternal beings? I mean it is so convenient to think that only God is eternal.

Could water be co-eternal with God? - bible starts with “the Spirit of God was hovering above the waters (Genesis 1).

Or perhaps, could this just mean human logic cannot explain Spiritual mysteries - demonstrating the finitude of human knowledge.

Regardless - the origin of God still remains a mystery! And we have to make Heaven to find that out.

No one knows because HE IS GOD!

END OF DISCUSSION.

if you try dig further you will not be explain his suoremacy....

If God came from someone then he is no longer God.

This doesn't even make a single sense. Does being God have to do with coming out of nowhere? Is that ur definition of a god?

OP I am going to respond to a few of the things u have said.

Logically, we understand that the universe was created by God. What we do not understand is how God himself came to be.

Nope. No we don't understand this. We only think so. There is no proof for it yet. That's why it is faith.

It only means God has always been - had no beginning and will have no ending.

If this is true, could He also have had other co-eternal beings? I mean it is so convenient to think that only God is eternal.

Nope it doesn't mean that. Even if we agree that God created the universe, that does not mean God has no beginning and ending. For all we care to imagine, God could have been created by another God. God could be another race of celestial beings existing in higher planes and dimensions.

And yes, God could have co-eternal beings. It is just improbable for one being to come out of nowhere and exist of itself. The parameters that allow for such a complex being to exist also means other equally complex beings can also exist within the same space.

So it is more likely there are many Gods than only one God.


Or perhaps, could this just mean human logic cannot explain Spiritual mysteries - demonstrating the finitude of human knowledge.

There are no spiritual mysteries. Everything created by God can be understood and catalogued given sufficient time. That's the way God wants it. And we must keep increasing in knowledge daily. That is the duty of man. To continually search out the hidden physical mysteries through science and better ourselves and our world by it. Only thieves and rogues talk about spiritual mysteries only they themselves have gleaned from mysterious figures that cannot be shared with the rest of humanity easily

Regardless - the origin of God still remains a mystery! And we have to make Heaven to find that out.

And who says when u get to heaven u will find out the origin of God? How are u sure u ever will? What if u get to heaven and find you are just a manifestation of the God u speak of fumbling for meaning and purpose within the boundaries of eternity?

If the concept of infinity can be understood , then the origin of God can be found .

God came from our minds, just like batman, superman, Sherlock Holmes, etc.

I agree and disagree with you.

Our knowledge of God is limited.

But as Bentrand Russell once argued - The general acceptance that there is a concept called GOD could only mean two things.

1. That God is either the best creation of Man.

2. Or, He is just who we say he is... God himself.

But the reality is against the first assumption. A CREATED image of man can not explain how our earth can hang in space and spin without ever falling off ... or how we have such a vast galaxy.

“The two main stars closest to our Galaxy are Alpha Centauri A and Alpha Centauri B, which form a binary pair. They are an average of 4.3 light-years from Earth. The third star is Proxima Centauri. It is about 4.22 light-years from Earth and is the closest star other than the sun”

We are talking about billion of years in human time... and those are just the nearest stars to earth.

When you think about all these things... There is a an extremely powerful force at play. Organising things... and ensuring the whole Universe does not go into chaos.

God must be - the only question is where He is from. Hopefully we can ask the father in Heaven... by Gods grace.
