Who Created God?

If you try to witness to atheists about creation, there's a big chance that you will be asked someday ... "if everything needs a creator, who created God?" I was recently asked this question, and had to do some research. It's a hard question to wrap your mind around, but it's not impossible to answer.

First, let's begin with the Biblical answer. Take a look at Rev 22:13; words spoken by God Himself: "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end." God didn't say I have a beginning, He said, I am the beginning. That means that there was nothing before God.

We can further prove that point by bringing out the flaws in the question, making the debate even easier to win. I love how GotQuestions.com puts it:

...The question does not even make sense. It is like asking, "What does blue smell like?" Blue is not in the category of things that have odor, so the question itself is flawed. In the same way, God is not in the category of things that are created, or come into existence, or are caused. God is uncaused and uncreated - He simply exists.

Another problem with this question is that if you use it to go further backwards, you could go on forever. "If God created the world and some else created God, and someone else created the someone who created God, and someone else created the someone else who created...." This is actually a problem with many arguments that atheists give, including "the earth came from the Big Bang." Well then, where did the Big Bang come from? Obvisouly, there's something wrong with these statements. We have a definite answer, and atheists don't.

As we have found out, the question, "who created God?" is weak. No-one did. Now, comes the matter of proving that, which is actually pretty easy. Let's walk through it step-by-step. For someone to create God, there would have to be someone before God. However, 'before' and 'after' are measures of time. It is necessary for time to exist to allow there to be a 'before.' The Bible says that God created all things, and therefore created time itself. Time came into existance only after God created it; God Himself lives outside of time. If God lives outside of time, He is not a product of time. 'Before' is impossible without time, therefore, there was nothing before God, and no one to create Him.
