Who Created God?

 

 

Such a question assumes

That God had a cause

But I plead with you, my reader,

Just pull up here and pause.

 

This is a childlike question,

If you see what I mean:

A first cause can have no cause-

On what would it lean?

 

A first cause would be the cause

For all other causes to follow,

Even for a child, I dare say,

This is not hard to swallow.

 

Yes, there are created gods

And thus, not the Eternal God,

History is replete with them

But every one was caused.

 

Caused by human beings

Who also worshipped them:

The makers bowing to their creation-

Don't you see the problem?

 

Who created God

Presupposes a created being

And thus, an infinite going back

In the past recurring.

 

Like decimals in Mathematics

We learn of in school,

These must be approximated

Or we would go on like a fool.

 

Like one-third, for example:

It’s the first one you’ll come across,

Approximate it to the hundredths

And little time will be lost.

 

 

 

Zero point three-three (0.33)

With a little dash on top

Or repeat the (3) like a headache

That never ever stops.

 

 

A recurring past cause

Does not make any sense

Hence, an uncaused Creator God:

Always in existence.

 

It is a childlike question

When it is posed in this way,

Any created god

Will lead us all astray.

 

Who created the uncreated God

Is a better question to ask

For within this lies the answer-

It’s a much simpler task.

 

God is the uncreated Creator

That always exists

And by Jesus Christ and for him

All things consist.

 

 

The I AM THAT I AM

That is unrestricted by time

And stated in His Holy Word

As Jesus Christ, the Vine.

 

He is the timeline and lifeline,

Creator of all we know

And we believe that this is true-

By His Word He tells us so.

 

In the beginning of time

God created space

And in space He placed all of matter

And the human race.

 

If God created before time

When would His creating be?

Where would He have put the matter

If there were no space to see?

 

A trinity of trinities, therefore,

That is: time, space and matter,

Before God there was no creator

And there’s none Him-after.

 

Time: past, present and future,

Space: length, width and height,

Matter: solids, liquids and gases:

All for God’s delight.

 

Who created God

Must mean a little “g” god, of course,

Since God, the self-existent One,

Has no prior source.
