Yes.
I have to go with Detroit. I have absolutely no proof but I believe he lived in Detroit.

One of my ancestors had a time-share condo on Mars some aeons ago. I think God might have spent a few summers there, back when there was water in the canals.

Who created God/heaven?

Wrong dimension Spanky.

Check out the dimension devoid of our current 4 dimension universe that includes time.

You think that there was a time that an eternal God was not living? More than one chapter and verse describes God being timeless in that He has always been the same yesterday, today, and forever. You need a list, I thought you studied these things!?
I am disagreeing that Isaiah 57:15 (as tendered by another poster) speaks of God as eternal (without beginning). It only speaks of him as having no end, which is not the same.

If I suddenly discovered the means to live forever, would that mean I had always existed?

How can you have a beginning but no end?

Time measures from point A to point B. You must have a point A,.

It make more sense to try and argue against both point A and point B than to try to eradicate just one.

For me, point A is the Big Bang and point B is the end of matter due to entropy, both backed by science.

'Death' begins, but has no end.

God is not like us. Wrap your little mind around that.

In the Bible, the word “heaven” has more than one meaning. For example:

Genesis 1:20 describes the creation of birds that “fly above the earth across the expanse of the heavens.” In this case, the word “heavens” refers to our atmosphere, the observable sky.

Isaiah 13:10 mentions “the stars of the heavens and their constellations”—what we would call outer space.

The Bible speaks of God’s “dwelling place in the heavens” and says that there are “angels in heaven.” (1 Kings 8:30; Matthew 18:10) Note that the words “heavens” and “heaven” are not simply metaphors, but describe an actual place of residence.

So the heaven that this thread is mentioning and that we most commonly talk about would be the place we understand God to be which would be both answers 2 & 3.
And since the bible tells us that Jehovah God has always been or existed, the heavens he dwells in would also have been here forever.
A bit mind boggling but that would have to be the answer.
