If God is omnipotent can He create Himself?

Answer 1

Whether God can create Himself; this violates the most basic premise of metaphysics: the principle of non-contradiction. God cannot be and be at the same time. Either He exists as omnipotent or He does not. As well, an omnipotent God by definition is uncreated. If God was to create "god" then this god would be inferior as it is a creature, having been created, having a beginning, and thus it could only be a subservient being to the Creator in perfection. Besides this, the metaphysical property of the "one" or "wholeness" dictates that perfection of anything by its very nature is singular. Most major Christian bodies that have developed theologies espouse the above philosophical premises and base their metaphysics upon it. However, the above premises are pre-Christian, having been heavily developed by the Greeks and are not proper to the Christian religion. = = If this god is a created being, then that is not the real God, because its Creator is the one we want to talk about. A created being implies a Creator, who is always greater than the created. Thus a created god is Not God.

If God is Uncreated, then the fallacy of the question becomes obvious, because the question is really asking: "Can an Uncreated being be Created?"

The fallacy of the question can further be clarified by the following fallacious examples:"Draw me a Triangle with Four sides." or "Give me an Odd number that is evenly divisible by Two." Other I somewhat disagree. I don't believe that beings can so easily be quantified and weighed like you insist. I don't think that a creator is always greater than his creation. Take Michaelangelo, He painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, you cannot imply that Michaelangelo was greater than his painting it is just simply not possible. They are both beautiful creations, his painting was simply a materialized form of his conciousness. My point is that It has been told that Jesus Christ became god after his second coming. So biblically speaking Yes god can manifest himself and did so in the Christian faith. God is simply beauty, and to assume we could understand, or quantify his creations is very bold, but not irrational. That subject is even deeper which can be discussed in a different question.

Answer 2

God was never created; He has always existed. This is very hard for us to understand, as everything we see has a beginning and an end. Before there was a heaven or earth, God existed. God always has been, and always will be.

Answer 3

NO! God is there always. In scientific terms God is nothing but ENERGY. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed so God is there always...

Answer 4

Nothing can 'create' God. But God can create anything. I guess you're caught between a hard rock and a boulder. An immovable wind and an unstoppable rock.
