WHO CREATED GOD?

This is a great question from our "Question Box" at the Good Shepherd. The following appeared in the bulletin...

" The quick answer is: No one. According to the Bible, God is the great “I AM” who was, and is, and is to come. He has no beginning, and no ending. To put this answer in perspective, one could also ask when heaven will end.

This is a great question as it raises the difficulty in understanding God from our human perspective. From the human perspective: everything that has a beginning must have been created somehow. This is the main premise behind the intelligent design theory that is so popular and controversial at the moment. However, God is so great and glorious, He defies human understanding. One commenter said, “It is like trying to explain the Internet to an ant”. The Christian is called put their trust in Jesus’ claims and teachings, and who He revealed God to be. "


For those wishing to read more on this subject (I don't necessarily agree with all the viewpoints expressed in these articles, but they are worth reading)...


There is also the books by Lee Strobel availible to borrow at the Church.
