Right. You want me to be labeled as the heretic, huh? Some friend you are. :D

Where do you believe He was, verita? Do you believe He existed before the events described in Genesis took place? Was there a time before the clock started ticking, so to speak? The Bible starts out, "In the beginning..." but that was just "the beginning" of creation with respect to our universe, wasn't it?

Abraham 3:1-3 said:
1 And I, Abraham, had the Urim and Thummim, which the Lord my God had given unto me, in Ur of the Chaldees;

2 And I saw the stars, that they were very great, and that one of them was nearest unto the throne of God; and there were many great ones which were near unto it;

3 And the Lord said unto me: These are the governing ones; and the name of the great one is Kolob, because it is near unto me, for I am the Lord thy God: I have set this one to govern all those which belong to the same order as that upon which thou standest.

This is an LDS perspective on it.

The book of Genesis mentioned only the time of creation of the heavens and the earth. God the Father existed before the creation and he was together with his son who is our Lord Jesus Christ. I know the answer but I will hold on at the moment to give others a chance to reply this thread. If you know someone who teaches the Word of God in the bible ask them the same question. They might also know the answer. I did not find it by myself. I learned it from our Eldest Brother who teaches the true Gospel of God that is written in the bible.

It is our duty to ask the priest…
Hag 2:11 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ask now the priests concerning the law, saying,…

I am not a priest but I will tell you the answer later.:D

God bless you.

There is no god, the multiverse has always existed, thus no "creation" is needed.
Always got to get your two cents worth in, huh, logician? Guess how much your opinion on God is worth to those of us who believe in Him? Hint: Two cents would be overstating it by about two cents.

Well I could not expect everyone to believe that there is God. But I know God has answer to those who say that there is no God. No offense, please read Psalms 14:1-2 :)

We have no time for closed-minded babble.

Where is God before he created the heavens and earth?

See, what you have to understand is that Christians view God as a supernatural, Omi-everything being. So chronology (time) doesn't phase God at all. Just remember that before anything was... God is. That is looking at it from a christian standpoint.

Psa 90:1 <A Prayer of Moses the man of God.> Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.
Psa 90:2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
Psa 90:3 Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.
Psa 90:4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.

God bless you. :)

First of all we must determine who is the Wisdom of God…
1Co 1:24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

The Wisdom of God who is our Lord Jesus Christ is the one speaking in the following verses…
Pro 8:1 Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?
Pro 8:2 She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.
Pro 8:3 She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors.
Pro 8:4 Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man.
Pro 8:5 O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.
Pro 8:6 Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things.
Pro 8:7 For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
Pro 8:8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them.
Pro 8:9 They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge.
Pro 8:10 Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.
Pro 8:11 For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
Pro 8:12 I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.
Pro 8:13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
Pro 8:14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.
Pro 8:15 By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.
Pro 8:16 By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.
Pro 8:17 I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.
Pro 8:18 Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.
Pro 8:19 My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.
Pro 8:20 I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:
Pro 8:21 That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.
Pro 8:22The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
Pro 8:23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
Pro 8:24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.
Pro 8:25 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:
Pro 8:26 While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.
Pro 8:27 When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:
Pro 8:28 When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:
Pro 8:29 When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:
Pro 8:30Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;
Pro 8:31Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.
Pro 8:32 Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.
Pro 8:33 Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.
Pro 8:34 Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
Pro 8:35 For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD.
Pro 8:36
But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.

Our God Almighty Father has his own EARTH. The above verses are easy to understand, I will not explain it further

God bless you all. :)

Like SU said, same place he is now.

Sitting on his golden throne surrounded by his "Holy! Holy!" monsters.
