How did God come into being then?

WHO CREATED GOD THEN?

If something comes into being, it must have been prompted by something else. A book has an author. Music has a music artist. A party has a party-thrower! All things that begin, that have a start, have a cause to their beginning.
Consider the universe. Scientists once held to the "steady-state" theory, that the universe has always existed without beginning.
Cosmological evidence now refers to the "Big bang" as the point in time that the universe came into being. Our space-time-matter-energy universe had a distinct and singular beginning.
Since it did not always exist, but came into existence (had a singular beginning), then some other reality must have caused or created it.1
Everything we observe in nature has a beginning. God however is in a different category, and must be so. God is different from all nature and humanity and everything that exists, in that he has always existed, independent from anything he created. God is not a dependent being, but self-sufficient, self-existent. And this is exactly how the Bible describes God, and how God has revealed himself to be. Why must God be this way?
Our universe cannot be explained any other way. It could not have created itself. It has not always existed. And it could not be created by something that itself is created. Why not?
It isn't coherent to argue that the universe was created by God, but God was in turn created by God to the second power, who was in turn created by God to the third power, and so on. As Aristotle cogently argued, there must be a reality that causes but is itself uncaused (or, a being that moves but is itself unmoved). Why? Because if there is an infinite regression of causes, then by definition the whole process could never begin.2

Answering the question - How an aethist realized God's existence and his proof

Image
Note - thia wonderful article is not written by me but by Marilyn Adamson, a man of God who was an aethist once and he writes about his story of how he discovered God by way of proofs. I had linked this article in a previous read and I felt the need for people to read this so here goes. IS THERE A GOD? Does God exist? Here are six straightforward reasons to believe that God is really there. By Marilyn Adamson        PDF Just once wouldn't you love for someone to simply show you the evidence for God's existence? No arm-twisting. No statements of, "You just have to believe." Well, here is an attempt to candidly offer some of the reasons which suggest that God exists. But first consider this. When it comes to the possibility of God's his, the Bible says that there are people who have seen sufficient evidence, but they have suppressed the truth about God. 1  On the other hand, for those who want to know God if he is there, he says, "You will seek me...

Debunking Hinduism, Islam, New Age and explaining religion

Image
Intro Generally people at this time and age, like to think of religion as something dark and despicable and full of fantasy. The truth here is, God is one, he gave us one word (the Bible, as we saw in the previous article) but different interpretations of God's word, sometimes in an alarmingly wrong way (Quran) gave rise to orthodox religions that are mostly cultic and strict into making believers of them adhere to their laws and propaganda. Today, we will debunk a few of them that are major and distinct. The core beliefs are as written by Marilyn and will be reviewed and debunked by me. Hinduism and its beliefs Most Hindus worship one Being of ultimate oneness (Brahman) through infinite representations of gods and goddesses. These various deities become incarnate within idols, temples, gurus, rivers, animals, etc. Hindus believe their position in this present life was determined by their actions in a previous life. Hinduism therefore provides a possible explanation fo...

Why Jesus is God, and he is the only GOD.

Image
Can you explain the Trinity? The following clearly and briefly explains the Trinity...three gods or one? You and I live in a three-dimensional world. All physical objects have a certain height, width, and depth. One person can look like someone else, or behave like someone else, or even sound like someone else. But a person cannot actually be the same as another person. They are distinct individuals. God, however, lives without the limitations of a three-dimensional universe. He is spirit. And he is infinitely more complex than we are. That is why Jesus the Son can be different from the Father. And, yet the same. The Bible clearly speaks of: God the Son, God the Father, and God the Holy Spirit. But emphasizes that there is only ONE God. If we were to use math, it would not be, 1+1+1=3. It would be 1x1x1=1. God is a triune God. Thus the term: "Tri" meaning three, and "Unity" meaning one, Tri+Unity = Trinity. It is a way of acknowledging what the Bib...
