What made God?
John 1:1-5
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in the darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

Notice the use of the word "made". Made does not mean that nothing existed previously, it only means that it was organized by God. Also, if God was placed in a space with materials, all things would be made by him; and without him not any thing would be made that was made. Given this, this verse is not Biblical evidence of God having not been made.
Also, man wrote this verse. Thus, one must read the verse from the perspective of primitive man. From that perspective, "everything" is a limited construct and does not necessarily include the entirety of the universe, let alone the entirety of existence.

God is alpha and omega: he is the beginning and the end. Nothing was before him and nothing is after him.
That is merely a close minded interpretation. God is alpha and omega: he is the beginning and the end of everything as far as man is concerned. Nothing was before him and nothing is after him as far as man is concerned. It isn't absolute. The terms used in scripture are in reference to organization, creation in that he used the existing matter and created things from it, not in creation of something from a vacuum.

Gensis 1:3
And God siad, Let there be light: and there was light
Seems more like whatever God said happened.
uh.....it's quite simple.......just didn't think anybody was so nuts.....
the book of genesis was written by a human being. to live human beings must ingest animals or plants. Plants derive their energy from photosynthesis......sun light. Even if the man who wrote genesis only ate meat..........the herbivores that the carnivores eat must ingest plant life.......which ofcourse means there was light to allow these plants to exist.
are you a retard? Discuss intelligently or leave......
