Where was God before he created earth?

Answer

While the Genesis account tells of the beginning of the earth and humans, God's activities before he began creating the heavens and the earth are not known. God is considered the Alpha & the Omega. The beginning and the end. Meaning he had no beginning. This is virtually impossible for human minds to comprehend because we all had a beginning. Therefore we cannot understand completely the vastness of Eternity.

Although, if we believe that God was creative enough to create the universe, heavens, and earth; it is not entirely irrational to believe that he was busy doing other things that we are not aware of. There is knowledge untold in the workings of God.

God more than likely created other galaxies, planets, etc. Although the Bible doesn't state when he created the angels, any reasoning person could reason that he created them sometime before the earth since they "applauded and cried out with joy" when God's earthly creation was complete.

Answer

He was in the same place he is now. We won't know until we have reached his level.

Gods kingdon is NEAR the planet Kolob. Kolob is the governing star and governs all of the other planets and stars.

Let's tell the truth. The "mormon god" was once a moral man in their doctrine who ASCENDED into a God-Like state.

That totally goes against the HOLY BIBLE in Genesis 1:1 IN THE BEGINNING GOD. It didn't say in the beginning was "God's Parents". They worship a "minor deity" or a demon who claims to be GOD was is NOT THE GOD OF THE UNIVERSE. ONLY GOD HIMSELF WAS AND THERE WAS NO OTHER. God created all the other creatures of the universe and HEAVEN which is HIS CHOSEN DWELLING PLACE.

Answer (by a Christian and scientist)

I get rather perplexed by this sort of question. The Bible states categorically that God is Eternal. This does not mean, however, that God has always existed and always will. 'Eternal' means and has always meant 'existing outside of time' and that is exactly what both the Bible and science (forget the so-called conflict - it doesnt really exist, honestly!) both state and teach us. In Genesis it states 'In the beginning' - in the Hebrew this means 'at the beginning of time' - God created the heavens and the earth. Not that the 'heavens' were created first i.e. the galaxies, stars in them, our sun and then the earth - just as science confirms. In the scientific explanation - the 'Big Bang' which, let's be frank, is no more than a scientific term for the moment of Creation, the universe came into being - not only the universe but also time and space (if you believe Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity and Hawking's work). So if time itself came in existence at the Big Bang/Creation then, just as the Bible states, there was no 'before' creation in our sense. No 'before' existed. God existed, though, because God is eternal and outside the concept of time.

This eternality of God is difficult to grasp, but if you own a torch (flashlight) and switch it on, then the beam of light from it is also eternal (what a fitting analogy - God and Light!). Einstein and subsequent physicists proved that as things approach the speed of light time slows down for them until time actually stops at the speed of light. So for light, it has no concept of time as we do and, like God, is, in a sense, eternal. The eternality of God explains many things; it explains His ability to answer millions of prayers instantly - no 'stacking up in an IN tray' for prayer as there would be in our time-constrained state! Miracles can and do happen by God's will - he is not subject to the laws of nature, nor in the laws of cause and effect (a direct result of being 'in time') as we are. Prophesy - especially how God can know the future as well as the past, is a result of his eternal nature as he can see the whole of time stretched out in front of Him. Furthermore, we are told that God made us in His image - not simply as flesh-and-blood animals but also as eternal spiritual beings who, one day, will be with him, if we accept what Jesus did for us on the Cross. In the meantime, we have to be content with being constrained on earth, in time. In fact, the eternality of God can explain a great deal about Him and his relationship with us!

So to say 'what was there before Creation?' is as meaningless as saying 'what letter comes before 'A' in the alphabet?' There isn't one, and nor was there ever a 'before'. And Thank God for that - for if there was a 'before' then God would be diminished from His eternal omnipotent state into a time-constrained entity just like us.
