Question
i came across a question when i was saying to one of my friends that God created everything like the bible says.here is the question i got "who created God?" So can you please send me a biblical answer.

Answer
God does not have a creator, He is THE Creator, Himself uncreated.

We know that the world is not eternal, we can see it had a beginning in time, and through simple laws of physics we can understand that it will never regain 100% of the energy expended in the initial "big bang", so it will wind down too.  In other words, the world is FINITE.  It had a beginning, and so it MUST have had something that brought it into being.  This, of course, was God.

But God is not subject to the laws of physics or even time.  He is eternal and as such has always existed; 'being' is one of his very properties, or basic acts: "I am who am" (Exodus 3:15).

For a more biblical response:

The eternal God is your refuge,And underneath are the everlasting arms (Deut. 33:27)

"Of old hast Thou laid the foundation of the earth and the heavens  are the work of Thy hands. They shall perish, but Thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt Thou change them, and they shall be changed: But Thou art the same, and Thy years shall have no end." (Psalm 102:25-27 KJV)

"The counsel of The Lord standeth for ever, the thoughts of His heart to all generations." (Psalm 33:11 KJV)

I hope that helps, if you have more questions or want to dig deeper, feel free to ask.

Peace of Christ,
