Did someone create God, and if so, who created him, and who created that entity and so on. Does it ever end? Where did it begin? And with who, or what?

There are many things that can't be explained due to our finite minds. God's existance is most often described to be like a ring - no beginning and no end. He has always been, and will always be. If we live good lives and believe, we will go to a wonderful place where all questions such as these will be answered, but until then we're here to demonstrate our faith and learn.

But how does this relate to the OP? Who created God. Sure God has always been and always will be, but there HAD to be a begninning didnt there?
Does this not eman that there has to be a source that appointed God as God? If time is infinite, then does this mean that what we know as God just "appeared" at one point back along the line? Thsi one has theories that can double back on themselves, but I dont know which line seems the most plausible?

Thats a bit contradictory isn't it? We don't understand how everything works but you are so positive that there is an eternal god that done everything. I'm sorry but your opinion is not a basis for truth so why should anyone believe you?

Well God is eternal, so he has no beginning or end. You can't create an eternal being, it was always the first and always will be.
He has always been existing, he is the One, first and the cause of what you see today. It seems only supernatural because we don't understand how everything works in the universe yet.

First off I realize that this is similar to the thread which I have listed below
www.abovetopsecret.com...
but how my questions differentiates from the one above is this.
So God created everything, including man, but if this is so, then who created God?
Basically, there has to be a creator of the creator, right?
Who then gave God the right to be God? And who gave the creator of God the right to create God?
This kind of relates to the matrix somehow, that there has to be a grand architect of what we call reality, or does there?
I would love to hear what you all think of this.

And I asked to know it, and he said to me, "The Monad is a monarchy with nothing above it. It is he who exists as God and Father of everything, the invisible One who is above everything, who exists as incorruption, which is in the pure light into which no eye can look.
"He is the invisible Spirit, of whom it is not right to think of him as a god, or something similar. For he is more than a god, since there is nothing above him, for no one lords it over him. For he does not exist in something inferior to him, since everything exists in him. For it is he who establishes himself. He is eternal, since he does not need anything. For he is total perfection. He did not lack anything, that he might be completed by it; rather he is always completely perfect in light. He is illimitable, since there is no one prior to him to set limits to him. He is unsearchable, since there exists no one prior to him to examine him. He is immeasurable, since there was no one prior to him to measure him. He is invisible, since no one saw him. He is eternal, since he exists eternally. He is ineffable, since no one was able to comprehend him to speak about him. He is unnameable, since there is no one prior to him to give him a name.
"He is immeasurable light, which is pure, holy (and) immaculate. He is ineffable, being perfect in incorruptibility. (He is) not in perfection, nor in blessedness, nor in divinity, but he is far superior. He is not corporeal nor is he incorporeal. He is neither large nor is he small. There is no way to say, 'What is his quantity?' or, 'What is his quality?', for no one can know him. He is not someone among (other) beings, rather he is far superior. Not that he is (simply) superior, but his essence does not partake in the aeons nor in time. For he who partakes in an aeon was prepared beforehand. Time was not apportioned to him, since he does not receive anything from another, for it would be received on loan. For he who precedes someone does not lack, that he may receive from him. For rather, it is the latter that looks expectantly at him in his light.
