Where did God come from?

The secret things of God's are His. Man cannot know the things of God unless God himself reveals these things to man through His spirit. people that do not know God personally cannot understand the things of the spirit of God for these things are but foolishness to them. Once a man has entered into relationship with God through His Son Jesus he will begin to understand the things of the spirit of God through God's revealing things to him as God feels he is ready for it. Thus the question asking where did God come from? Cannot be understood by someone that does not know God. Until they have received Him; God does not equipped them with the ability to understand what it is that He reveals to us in His time and in His way. The secret things are God's alone. That is where faith comes in , believing in what i cannot see as God has said it to us we believe it even though we cannot see it. It is a heart thing. You will feel it in your heart and just know that the Words written in Gods book are true because they are spoken by Him. The Holy Spirit of God allows it. You do not question because your heart is at peace knowing that the God of the universe who existed before anything else existed just simply was and is. as He says He did and is. I don't know how else to say it.

But it literally happened to me. I always had to figure things out and break it down and determine how something works. But God has broken me of that in the areas of knowing Him at least, and trusting him, and understanding much of what He shows and says to me. I would have never in my wildest dreams ever thought something could be such as this. That a person that I cannot see could speak to me Even though I cannot see Him or hear Him audibly. Now I am blessed with being able to understand day by day little nuggets or Jules of instruction, guidance, corrections that I need to make, And a to do list of things I need to do in mY life. He feeds me what He knows that I need to hear or experience or do.

Mary,

That is a great question. The bible teaches us that God is eternal, meaning He has no beginning and no end. By faith, we believe that God is the creator of all things. No one created God. He has just been in existence throughout eternity. That seems hard to conceptualize because we live in a time/space factor. But what would be easier, to believe He has always been in existence, or to try and figure out who or what God came from?

If we take the latter route, then we would have an endless cycle of trying to figure out who the one before God came from, and who came before that, over and over and over again. It would never end!

No one knows where God came from unless he has told someone. One thing to always remember nothing is impossible with God! That is like trying to explain why there are bones of animals that they say are millions of years old. God could have put them on the earth millions of years ago and did not like them, nothing is impossible. There is a lot to say about history when a day is like a thousand years to God. Jesus will have to judge billions of people when he comes down and I have always wondered how he would do that? Maybe one day we will know all the answers but more than likely will not care about that then. Nothing at all is impossible with God, nothing!

Thank you for your explanation of where God comes from. I love God with all my heart and soul. I know that everything is possible with God. Sometimes I get curious that's why I asked that question. I just passed my Chaplain class for New York State. God made this possible. God is making me over again. Have a blessed day
