If you look at the mythologies within christianity, judaism, and islam you will find elements from previous religions and mythologies. Monotheism itself comes from a period in Egyptian history when a single pharaoh eradicated all of the egyptian gods and forced worshipping a single god upon his kingdom. This was subsequently undone after his death, but it had not been done before then.
Is there an explanation as to how or where the first God originated?
I'm sorry if my question was confusing. I understand that man technically created God, but obviously Christians don't believe that, so my question is more, where do Christians believe God came from?
