Who made God?

It's one of the most common objections raised against Christianity—and one of the most misunderstood. In this episode, Matt Hazelwood addresses the question directly and explains why it contains a hidden assumption that Christians have never believed.

Is God a created being? If not, what does it mean for God to be eternal, self-existent, and uncreated? And why is asking "Who made God?" similar to asking "Who is the bachelor married to?" or "Where is the square circle?"

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • Why the question "Who made God?" misunderstands the Christian definition of God
  • The difference between a difficult question and a self-contradictory one
  • What the Bible teaches about God's eternal nature
  • Why a created God would not be God at all
  • How to answer this objection clearly, simply, and biblically

Whether you're a skeptic, a believer wrestling with the question yourself, or someone looking to better defend the Christian faith, this episode will help you think more clearly about one of the oldest questions in theology.

Key Scriptures:

  • Exodus 3:14
  • Psalm 90:2
