Q. 241: “If God was the first person alive how was He born then, they had no-one to have sex with?”

Thank you for the interesting question, you have an inquiring mind. But there are several errors in your question and I’ll try to explain them.

Firstly, God is not a ‘person’, a human as we think of a person. Jesus said ‘God is Spirit’ and I cannot comprehend exactly what that means. (‘Spirit’ comes from the Greek word ‘Pnuema’ meaning air. Car tyres are ‘pneumatic’ (filled with air)). God was not born to be the ‘First Person’ on earth as the result of two people having sex and the female getting pregnant. Much, much higher than that. Beyond our understanding.

I believe that God is, Omnipresent, Omnipotent, and Omniscient (is everywhere, all powerful, and can do anything) – superior to everything else on earth because He made it all.

You will “…stand before Him after you die,” so perhaps you could ask Him then just how He came to be.

No, I cannot understand it all but by faith I know it to be true. The Theory of Evolution – that life on earth began zillions of years ago in a swamp, and life started by itself; and monkeys are our ancestors and humans are still evolving. It takes faith in science to believe in evolution. I cannot believe it.
