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.

Out of Nowhere

 

 

I am sure you’ve heard the phrase

Out of nowhere

But where did it come from

To be now here?

 

Everything had a beginning

And must have come from somewhere,

So too must have time

And not out of nowhere.

 

Hence, at some time presupposes

There must have been somewhere

Or else there is nowhere

That time can be now here.

 

I know this is mind-boggling,

I know that quite well

But do not brush it off just yet,

There is more to tell.

 

The question was asked:

Where did God come from

And when I heard the response

I thought it quite dumb.

 

However, I pondered it a bit

Only to discover it is true:

That God came from nowhere

And that, my mind blew!

 

 

Out of nowhere

Because before Him, nothing was,

Before Him nothing could have existed;

Not even time could.

 

No place, no time, no thing

Could have preceded The Almighty,

He is the originator

For all that we see.

 

The I AM THAT I AM:

The Always Existing ONE,

Not a caused being or element

But before creation’s dawn. 

He is synonymous with eternity:

A concept we cannot grasp

And to figure out nowhere

Is an impossible task.

 

Somethings we can only accept

What else can we do?

Why, we experience great difficulty

With things within view.

 

‘No time’ and ‘nowhere’

Are way out of our scope,

No reference point to begin with,

There is not a hope.

 

Grappling with the invisible

Is complex enough

Far less trying to wrap our minds around

More complicated stuff.

 

 

Next time you hear someone say,

“He came out of nowhere”

Just smile and to yourself say,

“Well, He’s now here.”

 

For there is only ONE

Who can come out of nowhere:

That is the I AM THAT I AM,

Thank God His Spirit is here!
