Was God ever in absolute nothingness?

It's easier to believe in God then it is to believe is absolute nothingness.

Still it is hard to fathom that God is not contained by something.

What does God perceive? If God perceives a sky does that mean God is contained by sky?

What do you perceive and what are you contained by?

I don't understand what you are trying to say, you do or do not believe God once existed alone in absolute nothingness?

What I'm saying is, what we experience as reality may not allow us to grasp the actuality of God.

Some beliefs see God as "absolute nothingness". So it'd be like saying absolute nothingness once existed in absolute nothingness.

Not very helpful for our understanding if absolute nothingness was able to act as the first cause of creation.

You want to place God within absolute nothingness. Ok then, this absolute nothingness caused God?

God was begotten by absolute nothingness. What exactly absolute nothingness is? How can we fathom something like that. Absolute nothingness that is capable of creation.

What are non-existant entities, what is nothing within nothingness ?
How can anything be extracted from an empty container ?
What container contained the nothingness that contained God ?
What did God remove from the container to create everything ?
Maybe God contained the nothingness that contained the singularity ?
Aren't we all convinced that God caused the Big Bang that began the creation ?
Did the singularity come from the nothingess that God contained ?
Sooooo.....I guess the singularity came from nothingness that came from God ?
I guess God didn't come from nothingness, did he ?
That's way too many question marks....

on the way
I do believe there was a time when there was only God,
but He wasn't surrounded by nothingness,
He was/is the infinitude of unfathomable nothingness.

God made this creation, so that He would be known.
If there was no creation there would be no God.
Black implies white, white implies black.

At least that's my understanding.
