People ask me that question all the time.
Where did God come from?
There arguement is generaly, "if everything that is created has a creation then who or what created God?"
The answer to that is that God was not "created" he always was.
John 1:1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Word beginning in the greek is arche (ar-khay) Which actually means before the begining or before creation.
He is the creator of creation.
He was before the creation.
He declares that his name is I AM.
and that he is, was and always will be.
Think about this.....God Knows who he is. He has never had to question who he is. hes never doubted who he is. He has never looked his name up in the book of names to see were it came from and what it meant
If your God and you dont know that your God, Then your not God. If your God and you doubt that you are God that then would disqualify you from being God.
If God was created buy someone else wouldnt that then disqualify God from being God? and the creator of God would be the one we would worship. And he would be God and then you have to ask the question all over again of where did that god come from if the other god was created by another god and yada yada yada. and that propulsion would conlude there is no god.
But, becuase God is Holy and there is none like him he is incomparable in everyway. There can not be another god to create him. he would then not be incomparable.
God is unique in that he is set apart from everything else. in a class of his own you can't describe God like you can a rabbit "small" "furry" "mamal" 'long ears".
You cant do that with God becuase he is in a class of his own there in none like him.
Some might say you look at man and there are characteristics of god in man , and there are, but the problem with that is that you dont define God, God defines you.
Where did God come from?
He always was, is and always will be. He created the creation. He is God and he knows it.

This was something i posted several months ago. In it is nothing offensive to anyone of any religion. It is a simple yet complex explaination of the origin of God. You can believe in God or not is up to you not for me to force you to do or believe. But this is what the bible teaches is the origin of God, that there is no "origin" he just simply was, is and always will be.
