Where did God come from?
How does the sun come up so predictably each day? Why and how is there so much order in the laws of nature?
You should ask yourself where man came from first.
But in any case the answer to your question is that God is the beginning and the end. He did not come form anywhere he is the answer of all other "where did X come from" questions.
He has always been and will be forever.
I know you think this is stupid and of course in your mind everything has to have a beginning and and end. But that is only because our minds are limited in comprehension.
God has given us glimpses of his magnitude in math with the study of infinities which people find very hard to comprehend but which nevertheless are ... Infinite.
When did eternity begin?
Sometimes I find it helpful addressing God as the Center of Universal Love. An artist creates nothing without love, and quantum mechanics is discovering that faith really may be the building blocks of our universe. I see the beauty of all creation as the artwork it it, with the expressions purpose and message intended by the Artist’s mind, not mine. Sometimes existence seems an empty artist’s studio, but if I really want to meet the Artist, I think how Love itself was necessary to create all existence in beautiful symmetry, and if Love is a universal component then It has a Center, just as the universe has a center, and as faith makes the building blocks of reality those blocks can make a bridge. You can get close enough to the Source to know the Source exists, has purpose and design. If ypu hang around the Center long you may get to share just for a moment, the experience of how a mind actually can be aware of and monitoring every created thing, every speck of dust in the universe, and that nothing is purposeless or intentionless. And that little taste is as much as our little minds can handle.
I believe in evolution, and when you look at man’s ancestord, plenty of them had grey matter to compete with ours, but they weren’t us. Evolution was not intentionless or purposeless. And the huge jumps from one form to another in extremely short periods of time show intervention. The final brushstroke was a mind that could apprehend the existence of God. That was us. We were born. Set on our own two feet to stumble off into existence as small reflections of the Original’s mind...to love, create, appreciate beauty, have compassion, gaze at impossible reaches and wonder, and find ways across the expanse by belief and faith.
Scientists themselves will tell you we’re all eternal. But when our matter reverts to other forms, what identity do we have of us? Faith. Love. Connection. Purpose. Only now they are discovering that all matter is energy, yes, but that all energy is merely the torsion between endless planes of eternity...just as an endless plane of emptiness created matter and energy in “The Big Bang”.
So, everything came from nothing. And nothing IS everything. Faith is the building block, as even some crazy scientists are beginning to discover, that forms reality. Faith requires a mind, and you have a private reality, as you know. Thete is a greater snd eternal reality, as you also know. Whose mind is at the center of that, the reality in which we are real?
Using the same scientific principle that eternal emptiness self-creates, I invite all atheists to purposely clear their mind of any thought of God, to remove every thought, eish or desite that might be God...and if their lives and belief are truly empty, then at the center, there God will be, without belief or mental imagination. Because there is no truly empty place.The center of the Universe created all things from nothing, scientists say it will all collapse and return to the center and this may repeat itself eternally, like the rhythym of a great heart, or the blinking of an eye.
One of my favorite parts of the Bible is when Moses asks God for His Name, and He replies “I Am That I Am”, and the context of the Hebrew words also means “I Am Whoever/Whatever I Choose, I Am Will, I Have No Limits”. It’s as if Moses said “let me give them an idea of You they can understand” and God said “Let them understand I am beyond their understanding”.
And while I believe every religion at it’s basic roots originated as a sincere desire to connect to God, and all have the building blocks of faith, it required an architect to actually build a bridge of that faith so we could all knos we can get to where God is. That architect was Jesus, who Himself is God and not limited by man’s understanding or religious demagoguery. Even an ice age shaman who experiences the realization of the Center can follow that thread, and past this plane it leads to the bridge and it’s Architect. And the only people who end up in darkness were those who never looked for it, or were repelled by it.
Well, I must have been in a quantum preaching mood today. I’m crazy, but I think I’ll hit “post” anyway!
