In another thread I posted the quite contradictory lineages of Joseph as presented in the books of Matthew and Luke. At the end I tacked on Mary and her relationship with god as the mother and father of Jesus. Because next to nothing is known about Mary's lineage I designated it with a question mark, I also did the same to god; linking his lineage to a question mark.
This got me thinking. Why couldn't god have come from some higher being? The god of Abraham, the god of our particular universe, being the "offspring" of a higher god(s), perhaps the god of all, or maybe several, universes or higher plains. Maybe the god of Abraham is answerable to the god of all gods, or whatever. After all, we know through scripture that the god of Abraham isn't perfect (he's made admitted mistakes) so maybe there's a truly perfect super-god.
I know this is wild speculation, but I see nothing in any of the theistic religions that prohibits it.
What do you think?
