I don’t know where God came from; I assume he was always there. It is interesting that he created the Earth, Adam and Eve when he basically got bored. Why did he get bored? I suspect a lot of this goes to concepts of time and space that we as humans can’t understand; even if I were agnostic, I would have to entertain the idea that the universe was created by God, since what are the alternatives? There is an order and logic that would seem impossible to spring out of nothingness; I am reminded of Rev. Bob Schuller’s statement that even if after he died and somehow found out that Judeo-Christianity was not true, he would not have altered his life one bit from the teachings of Jesus and the Bible. It was so much better than the alternatives, which is why I give my credence to the idea that God created the universe.

That is where I stand also in the belief of a God............As for a subscription to any church or religion, I can't bring myself to do it.

Friend;

God didn’t get bored...

He created the heavens and the earth and everything in it as an object for his perfect love.

Isaiah and other prophets as well as Christ Himself ( in His revelation) tell us how there was a rebellion in heaven when the chief worship angel ( Lucifer) desired to be the object of worship himself and was then thrown out of heaven into the earth.

So God created man to be his object of love. Man chose to listen to Lucifer/Satan ( the accuser) and man too rebelled.

So in His omniscient wisdom, God had planned Christ’s sacrifice from the foundations. Man fell , alienating himself from his creator and loving father, so a man could only be the one to pay the debt due a Holy and perfect Creator.

Now we have an advocate before the Father, the MAN Jesus Christ. He is God in man’s flesh ( I and the Father are One), but w/o sin, being fathered by God the Father via a virgin woman ( who was blessed in being chosen, not in her own virtue mind you).

Ask God to show you His revelation in the scriptures- read it yourself, prayerfully asking for guidance and insight. I find the amplified Bible is the easiest to glean these depths of His wonderful love for us, that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for me.

Blessings
