My 5yr old just asked who made God.

I can't believe your children are asking such questions. How horrid! God is all-knowing and all-powerful and He created this world. This should not be questioned! To question the word of God is to betray Him and His son!!

God does not exist.

I read your post carefully, and I read the OP carefully.

There is nothing in the OP that "question the word of God."

But I applaud the OP for having children who ask thoughtful questions!

Yes! I told them most of us can't understand the details of it. Then when I dropped the bomb that they can't think of "him" in human form, well, that's when I got pure silence for a moment. Then the next question was verbatim.... "wuh, wuh, wait. Let me get this straight... Then what does he look like, and how does he hear all these voices talking to him at once, every day?"

Well, honestly, I got depressed that night! I thought, uh, gooood question hun.

Seriously, I have been getting hammered with serious questions from him the last year. He says it hurts his brain to think about it. Lol. Uh. Yeeeah.

No one made God. He is eternal, the concept of beginning and end only applies with time, which of course we are subject to, but God exists outside of time, for He created time. BTW, I asked the same question at about 5 years old too.

Uh nope, that was Mary.
Maybe Mary is God?

Ouch. :-(. No no. It's not is there a God. It's the very details of how he has always been. To a child, and most adults, there is a beginning. But how did the beginning begin. That's their question. God created God makes no sense to a 10 year old. I tried to say he is everywhere, but that's what is difficult for him to wrap around his head.

And btw, Jesus said something about it being okay to question.....

He is just thinking hard about it. With aspergers, or whatever people want to label this kind of child, he wants to find logic in it all. It " blows his mind" to think about God and that he's always been, and whats on the other side of the universe.

Lmao! Nice! I'm sure dad would love that. ;)

^^THIS^^ is what I was getting at in my "domain mismatch" post.







My daughter is a 4th grade teacher, and children like yours are the delight of her life!

Infinity. Infinite person/place/things.


Fractal Mathematical Rabbit Hole

The error here is zooming in on ONE loan fractal. Infinity never does that, there are infinite fractals, infinite ONE-1....s.

You cannot make a measurement, place a dot anywhere on an infinite line and its the same measure of endlessness all around.

All energies are infinite, including our intellegences.

The universe is earth's universe, one of infinite layers of frequency. We're in the middle, on the point of light between light and dark, in the school.

This school has prime creator(s), Father/Mother/Family/Yeshua.
Love is the answer.

Prime Creator is always discovering Himself/Herself to the Child of yet another Creation.

All things exist eteranlly, and all progress, though spirits sometimes have to make U-Turns many times to do so. All things have a teleos purpose, progression, evolving, growth.

There is No Time, the clock is in our head, each moment of our lives hangs in space forever, like clips in a roll of film.


Higher Self is Future Self in the journey, progressed Future Self.

We have a Family, Dad and Mom.

He said "ahhh" one day when I told him that humans invented time. Not sure if it was a lightbulb moment or a " she's nuts" thought. :-/

But he did get my dad when he heard him say that the universe is expanding.... He popped in and asked " into what?" eventually I just said we don't know and could be that we aren't meant to know it all. That kept him quiet for awhile.

Ironic to say thank God for teachers like her. I think he irritates a couple of them. He's really pretty quiet, just likes to talk to adults more so than kids. Good for her. And thank her for me, because it means a great deal to a child, and their mother.

No shit, my son asked the exactly the same question a few weeks back.

I think it's because they are more "what you see is what you get" - totally authentic and genuine, unlike some of the others who are already playing "games."

No no. Even if this was the case, it certainly doesn't hurt to believe. I mean, there's a good chance you are very wrong. In that case, I'd play it safe and practice faith!

OP, I've been thinking about this since the beginning of your thread. How do you answer a 5-year old or 10-year old on questions like these? Maybe a good approach would be:

"I don't exactly know, but maybe over time you and I can find out together."

Do you think our antibodies think like this?

Omg! You hit the nail on the head in one sentence! That describes him perfectly. Oh my. You are correct. :-)

Yes, and I want to know what they think. What their perceptions are. They haven't been conformed so much because they continue to ask, so I find their thoughts very interesting. :)

it hurt my brain at that age too.

left to their own thoughts, children who are aware of other

cultures and their different beliefs usually arrive at the

conclusion that gods are created by the humans that need them.

Especially that god that sends bad people to hell.

Try this:

I am the poster named Oneness.
I am the writings of the poster named Oneness.
I am every poster on GLP right now.
I am every writing of every poster on GLP.
I was every poster that ever posted on GLP.
I was every writing of every poster that posted on GLP.
I was every person that has ever existed.
I was every writing that has ever existed.

I made Myself, I make Myself, and I will make Myself.

That I = God is the irrefragible conclusion.

I am the Creator and Creation all rolled into One.

Hence, I am the 5 year old boy, asking Myself who made Me, the 5 year old boy. Tautologically, I am the 5 year old boy, asking Myself how I made Myself.

If I keep asking questions, eventually I find that I am the Questioner, the Question, the Answerer and the Answer all rolled into One.

Not sure but I would guess that the energy explanation is really just a theory. Maybe it is based on the best scientific information to date but.....

Besides, it does not even begin to address the obviously follow up questions like, Why or What is the purpose?

Stick with no one knows for sure and if they tell you they know for sure they are full of BS.

And besides you couldn't betray God, if God did exist.

Wait till he starts thinking about breaking down particles - you know, to understand what's INSIDE...like,

"what's in an atom?"
- "Protons and Neurons"

- "OK. Let's split those open. What's inside those?"
- "Um....Leptons? Quarks?"

- "Well, what are THOSE made of then?"
- "Um, nothing..those are the smallest things! (look smug even though not sure)"....

"Well that's just silly, they HAVE to be made of SOMETHING, cause SOMETHING can't come from NOTHING, right?"
- "Go do your homework!!"

Or...when they start questioning you about Zeno's Paradox: "Suppose Homer wants to catch a stationary bus. Before he can get there, he must get halfway there. Before he can get halfway there, he must get a quarter of the way there. Before traveling a quarter, he must travel one-eighth; before an eighth, one-sixteenth; and so on. - But mom! He can NEVER REALLY ARRIVE!!"

"I SAID GO DO YOUR HOMEWORK!! AAAGGHH!!"

Good luck with that. ;-)

What is to say you are practicing the correct faith then? If you are like most people, your beliefs are probably very close to the one you were born into not the result of a real search for meaning and truth.

^Regarding above post from me^

(I think THAT is what I'll call "GOD") ;-)

There was an interesting idea from some man (can't remember his name). But it was basically like this.

The question: Is there an edge to the universe?
His answer: No, because hitting a "wall" in the universe means there is something beyond that wall. Therefore, space is infinite.

The other thing to think about is this. The true definition of nothing is just that NOTHING. You cannot create something from nothing because that defies the definition of nothing. Therefore, because there is something now, there has always been something. You can turn this idea into whatever you want. It could mean that something that has always existed is God, or the universe (not necessarily in a comparable form as it is now).

To me, that is a mind blowing idea when you think about it. You could go back in time FOREVER and never reach a beginning. Thus, time is infinite to the past and infinite to the future (of course seeing infinite to the future is much easier for us since we progress into the future throughout our lives).

As for the answer to "who made God"? Well we just have to face the fact that infinity is not something we can comprehend, and that the universe is here now and we just have to accept that. Whether you believe in God or not, the universe's existence is bizarre to say the least.

You don't get to9 'practice'[ faith.

Don't believe me? OK, take the next five minutes and 'practice' believing that plants can't grow in sunlight.

You can't force yourself to believe anything that contradicts your own experience.

If god is real (He;s not, so don't panic) then he hac read your thoughts and knows everything in your mind.

Saying you 'believe' just to cover your bets cannot fool an entity who can read your mind.

If you still have doubts then spend another 5 minutes 'practicing' the belief that only Tabasco sauce can quench your thirst.

Very much my same conclusions over these same thoughts and questions I asked years ago......

The best advice to make peace with these thoughts:

Be here now be here now (infinity)!
