If god is real.. how did he create the universe. why do people believe in other gods? do they all go to hell? who created god? why does religion cause war?

The first thing I want to say is that God is God. God is “everlasting” in nature (Isaiah 40:28), which is to say, he is “eternal” as to his very essence (Romans 16:26, 1 Timothy 1:17). His existence is “from everlasting to everlasting”. Before the material creation was spoken into existence, He always was (Psalms 90:2). 

The Lord revealed Himself to Moses as the “I AM THAT I AM” (Exodus 3:14). The “I AM” expression is related to the Hebrew name for God. This was the most sacred name for God/Yahweh. The term Yahweh occurs more than 6,800 times in the Old Testament. The word is believed to be a form of the verb hayah, which signifies “to be”, ultimately meaning “the eternal One” or “self-existing One.” God’s existence is underived; no one made Him. He simply always was. 

If there ever was a time when nothing at all existed, then there would be absolutely nothing today. Since it is the case that something does now exist, one must logically conclude that something has ALWAYS existed. If nothing cannot produce something, and yet something exists, then it follows necessarily that something has always existed.  

God is God, He created the universe the same way He created everything else. Read the book of Genesis.

People believe in other gods unfortunately because just as much as there is God, there is a devil. The devil is deceitful. That’s His job. To deceive God’s children. And unfortunately if you aren’t strong in your walk with God you’re leaving yourself open to be attacked with doubt, and lies, and deception. But, one thing the Bible does promise us is that before the Lord comes, every one will have heard the good news, the news about Jesus Christ. & that will be their chance to turn to the truth. He offers so much. Eternal life, peace, joy, everything you need, why would you turn from that? 


As for the question “do they all go to hell”, if they believe in other gods. My answer for that is John 14:6 - “Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.” Jesus Christ died on the cross for the sins of this world so that we can have eternal life. The way to the Father, the way to Heaven is through Jesus Christ, accepting Him as your Lord & Savior. It’s believing, in faith, that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins so that you can have eternal life. 


Religion should never cause war. Unfortunately, as I said before the devil is out to confuse people, to destroy people, and to deceive people. Christianity is based on Jesus Christ, on what He did for all of us on that cross. We are to have the love of Christ for EVERYONE. So if we truly are following that, there would be no war. But because of all the confusion and differences in what people believe, yes, they go against each other. Christianity NEVER EVER promotes that. Christianity promotes love, unity, joy, peace, everything that is beautiful. 

I pray that someone can inform you more on the love of Jesus Christ, and that some how your heart can be softened to the situation so that the Lord can penetrate your heart. If you have any other questions, you can ask. But God is ALWAYS willing to reach out to you. His hand is ALWAYS reached out to you regardless of what you’ve done or what you’ve said. Nothing can separate you from the love of God whether you like that or not. He offers everything you need in this life. You don’t understand the joy that will overcome your life when you open up your heart and ask Jesus into it. I don’t come to you in a judgmental way at all, because that’s not what the Lord asks of me. But instead, He asks that I go out and minister His word and show the love of Christ to all. God bless you abundantly. I hope I’ve answered your questions. 

These things that I’m telling you aren’t only based on the things I believe. They are based on so many of my experiences that increased my faith as I grew in my walk with God. I wasn’t always serving the Lord. I was living in “the world”/”doing my own thing” for a while. But I always knew the truth deep down in my heart. & at my lowest moment, was when I knew I had to get myself back on track with God. And as soon as I made that decision, I turned to Him and He was right there waiting for me. & the way my life has changed is indescribable. I am happier than I have ever been. I am a teenage girl. Don’t you think if this was all just a big lie, I’d be out doing what the “majority” does? No. I found the truth, I found my hope, I found salvation. I found someone who loves me when I least deserve it. Who loves me so much He laid down His life for me. I’m not letting that go. This isn’t all made up. I know you may not see it at the moment, but if you just ask God to soften your heart and open it up to invite Him into your heart, He will do it. God bless you. 

A joyful heart is good medicine.
Proverbs 17:22
