What was God doing before he created the universe?

self-diagnostics

all of you co create it together basically. God is MIND, not a person. not even those in the highest realms on Paradise have a clue how consciousness and mind arose.

He was creating other universes.

Thats what he does.

skate boarding and smokin weed.

This is the million dollar question.

Or a bigger question..who made god?

ask Him!

and whats he been doing since?
lazy sod.
worked 6 days in his very long life.

Playing a Game of Marbles?

He shuffled his feet.

Your God is too small. God also created time, which is largely an illusion. God is not only everywhere but everywhen. God created every instance of time, past present and future simultaneously.


So there is no such thing as 'before'. Time is just a constraint imposed on our universe to make one instant strongly dependent on a previous instant.

That's why Jesus announced to the Pharisees that he was God by saying, "Before Abraham was, I AM!". The I am is the eternal present occupying past present and future.

So you see God exists outside of time and is not bound by it's causality. There is no ordering of events, they all occur simultaneously.

There are some staggering implications of this, but I'll let you figure it out yourself.

Okay...... then who created god?

frankie

He was whacking it?

Straight chillin

Oh sure.
What else could he do to pass the time apart from play with himself.
Until he made his sex toys to fuck with.

He created the angels before the seven days of creation - before the universe. And that's all we know. But we know a great deal about God's character & justice & love.

since he does not exist, then, nothing

So his evil twin brother created himself?
OMG I feel a hymn coming on!

All things dull and ugly,
All creatures short and squat,
All things rude and nasty,
The Lord God made the lot.
Each little snake that poisons,
Each little wasp that stings,
He made their brutish venom.
He made their horrid wings.

All things sick and cancerous,
All evil great and small,
All things foul and dangerous,
The Lord God made them all.

Each nasty little hornet,
Each beastly little squid--
Who made the spikey urchin?
Who made the sharks? He did!

All things scabbed and ulcerous,
All pox both great and small,
Putrid, foul and gangrenous,
The Lord God made them all.

Amen.

Clearly you didn't read the post you are replying to. A being that has always existed cannot be created.

In response to your original post, there is no "before" because time was created at the same instant the universe was.

simple answer he was being created by a God even more powerful than him..... and so on and so on and so on

Pretty sure that if most Christians thought about the logic of these two posts they would have a problem with it. Particularly that last sentence. I myself do not, essentially between these two posts you both have attributed divine attributes to everything in existence.

always existing___iarga

No clue ...

resting?

Which God?

The God that created this universe or the God that indirectly created him?

If you're asking about the one who created this universe, he was contemplating his existence, surrounded by darkness, only to decide there is no other god except him

Your use of the past tense shows that you haven't yet grasped what I'm saying. God has no creator, there is no cause or effect or first cause for God, since He exists outside of space and time and all times and events exist simultaneously to him.

It's not that you can even say that before God there was...?, since the concept of before does not exist where God is. For all we know all of creation, past present and future, could exist in a single instant of some cosmic explosion that vanishes and is forgotten in the next instant.


Causality and creation goes from the infinite and disordered to the ordered and finite. It's evolution in reverse and always has been. There is God, an infinite being and then there are increasingly lesser beings that he has created, angels, man and beast.

In the end, no matter what cosmology you choose to believe, there will be mysteries and unanswered questions. For the state religion, atheism, there are a lot more puzzling questions such as, how does nothing create everything? How do we create complex design from chaos? Evolution fails miserably to address this. Creationism does a much better job.

there have been GODS (and GODDESSES )around forever
that's just the way it is,was,will be, etc
