I have seen in several of the articles which I have read, that there are those who are saying that this question is ultimately unanswerable. To me that is nothing but a cop-out. Of course the question of who created God has an answer and the answer is that no one created God. The Bible clearly tells us that God is eternal. This not only means that He will always be but that He has always been. He says that He is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. God was here at the beginning, whether it was the beginning of man, the beginning of earth, or whatever the beginning was for Him, and He will also be here at the end of it all as well. A saying like that is difficult for the human mind to wrap around but it is no less true. What I mean to say is are we going to measure an infinite God with our finite understanding? There are always going to be things about Him which we, as humans, will not understand but if we believe in Him we just accept them as true because He said it.

People really need to stop attempting to figure out God and just accept Him at His Word. Our human brain, mind, soul, or whatever the case may be, will never be able to figure out the one who created it. I see and hear quite a lot of antagonistic guess work happening lately in vain attempts to figure out God, but that's all it is guess work. A lot of these people become angry and frustrated because they cannot come up with an argument to support these wild claims. But that's what happens when we try to figure out an infinite with our all too finite faculties. When I was a child the biggest question of this nature was this: Can God make a stone so big that even He cannot move it? I do not recall hearing a lot of answers to this which made much sense but if any of them did, that answer would go something like this: Of course He can, but why would He? What would God accomplish by doing such a thing accept to cause unbelieving people to mock at Him because He cannot move the stone? What does it accomplish to know the answer to this question? Are we any smarter or are we more knowledgeable for knowing? By the same token, when we ask who created God, how much more knowledgeable and wise would we be for even knowing this? I don't even want to think about the mockery which would take place when those evil few also discovered that God had a creator. The point in all of this is that the answers to these questions will serve no constructive purpose.

In my opinion it is true that there are some things which are better not asked. We don't know everything in this life and we were not intended to know everything in this life. But yet there are those of us who would take an antagonistic attitude to God. When we do this, we had better be careful. The Bible says that God cannot be tempted but it also says that He can be made angry. He can be made angry by our insistence upon the answers to questions which have no constructive purpose in our lives.

We are not fully able to understand one who always was and always will be, but one day we will.
