Sometimes we discuss God and how He created everything: the universe, the atmosphere, humans, etc. with someone who is a bit critical of the Christian witness. We will often get a comeback that sounds something like this: “Well, if God made everything, who made God?”
Sounds like a reasonable question doesn’t it? Let me give you a quick answer to the question. We’re always looking for a quick response aren’t we. The response can be something like this: “Let’s suppose someone did make God. It doesn’t really matter who made Him. He made you, and we are answerable to the God who made us and not to the person who made Him. What have you done with the commands He’s given you?”
The longer and more philosophical answer is a problem in logic. The question presupposes a God who must have been created. If we’re talking about the God of the Bible, we’re not talking about Someone who has been created but Who has always existed and always will (Ps. 9:7, 90:2). So, there is a definition problem here. The God we’re talking about is an infinite Being. Infinite beings do not have a beginning, a creation.
As usual, a longer version of this post can be found in the side bar or at the bottom of the page.
