What is God according to you?

Interesting question.. The Bible tells us about the Creator - the one Almighty God and also tells us His name YHWH in Hebrew, Yahveh or Jehovah in English. Everyone else is created by him, including his son Jesus Christ. The Bible does not teach about a cruel god but about a God that loves his children very much. He does not torture anyone and he has promised to restore the earth to a paradise like he meant from the beginning. I learned to know this God many years ago, and he has always proved himself to be reliable and a person who listens to prayer. Sometimes he answers in a few seconds, sometimes after a longer time, but he always knows what time and way is the best. This is what the Bible says: [i]"20 For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God. 21 Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn’t worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. As a result, their minds became dark and confused. 22 Claiming to be wise, they instead became utter fools. 23 And instead of worshiping the glorious, ever-living God, they worshiped idols made to look like mere people and birds and animals and reptiles."[/i] Romans 1 (New Living Translation) Why not go to watchtower.org and make a search with "the true god" or something else you want to do research on? Happy studying..

God for me is a creator of all things. Therefore, He is the owner of our life and breath. That's why we must worship Him but not by images because God prohibits it.We must worship God in spirit and in truth through His name and His will. All people obligate to serve God and Know Him will and keep His commandments according to the bible. God has warning to those who refuse to know and obey Him, as stated in II Thess.1:8-9 that He will inflict vengeance on the day of Christ's second coming.

well I beleive in a Goddess and a God. so as a general force, I tend to refer to as Deity, as Goddess and God is a bit of a mouthful. Deity is a force that is present in all things. it drives us to live, and as it is a part of everything, it connects us with all other living things in the universe. as for doing good things? the only reason to do good things is to increase the amount of good in the world. it makes you feel happier and better about yourself. if you just do good in order to reach whatever God you beleive in, rather than simply to do good, then it becomes almost an empty gesture. doing good should be its own reward.

Isn't doing good in words and deeds enough to reach God?What is your idea of God? You ask a really loaded question. It really depends on what your culture and your beliefs are. A Christian follows God through Christ, and the only way to God is through Christ. Good works can't get you to God, though doing good works is part of what we do when we know God on a personal basis in our lives. I see God in everything also.. I see God in the beauty of a morning or evening sky, the plant sitting on my desk, the trees within my field of view.. just everything. I see God in the homeless person asking for something to eat, or the child wrapped in his mother's arms. Everywhere I look I see evidence of God.

I am and Indian. I am seeing God in everything. What is happening is good.God lives in our heart. To enhance the power of God we worship and we worship in idols and placing a photo in front of us.We have to do good and truthful always which enhances the power of God who lives in our heart.

Christianity has done wrong in many ways the history of the Bible and taught things wrong. That is why in part, at the time wanted to Catholic keep the Bible the Latin language that ordinary people do not understand what it teaches. Now, almost every man can read the Bible in their own language. For example, the image of worship is wrong according to the Bible: (Exodus 20:4-7: "3 You must not have Any Other gods against my face. 4 "You must not make for yourself a carved image or a form like anything That is in the heavens above or that is on the earth underneath or that is in the waters under the earth. 5 You must not bow down to them nor be induced to serve them, because I Jehovah your God am a God exacting exclusive devotion, bringing punishment for the error of fathers upon sons, upon the third generation and upon the fourth generation, in the case of those who hate me; 6 but exercising loving-kindness toward the thousandth generation in the case of those who love me and keep my commandments." New World Translation) (Exodus 32:4-7: 4 "Then he took [the gold] from their hands, and he formed it with a graving tool and proceeded to make it into a molten statue of a calf. And they began to say: “This is your God, O Israel, who led you up out of the land of Egypt.” 5 When Aaron got to see this, he went to building an altar before it. Finally Aaron called out and said: “There is a festival to Jehovah tomorrow.” 6 So on the next day they were early in rising, and they began offering up burnt offerings and presenting communion sacrifices. After that the people sat down to eat and drink. Then they got up to have a good time. 7 Jehovah now said to Moses: “Go, descend, because your people whom you led up out of the land of Egypt have acted ruinously." New World Translation) And Jesus is not God. God has a name. It is Jehovah in English. ???? in Hebrew, which is written YHWH: http://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Psalms-83-18/ (Psalms 83:18 That [men] may know that thou, whose name alone [is] JEHOVAH, [art] the most high over all the earth. King James Bible)

To me God is a word for life. It is everywhere, so we don't really have to go in search of it. As a Zen practitioner, I would saying searching for God is a way to ensure that we will never find it, because if we are searching, we believe that God is not everything. Everything exists, that must be without doubt. _Derek

My perceptio about god has been changing every day, every week, and every year. I was born in a traditional Christian family and was brought up by very traiditional parents. I grew up seeing my grand parents going to church everyday. I used to go to church every Saturday and Sunday when I was living with my parents. Now, I'm married and my husband's perception about god has influenced me a little bit. I'm not very religious now. Not very religious doesn't mean I am far away from god. God is the first person I approach whenver I have problems or whenever I am very much stressed out or worried. I still read bible every day and whenever I go out of my house. But, I don't think I pray as much as I used to be. I also wish god would directly involve the lives of people doing bad things to others. I don't understand how god can be very patient seeing the evil in the world.

For me, God is the creator of everything, the almighty one and the father of our savior. For me, Jesus is also God because he is also powerful. My faith with them are extremely strong that's why they existed wherever I am and whenever I am.

God is the Creator of all. Just by merely looking at nature, it reminds me how wonderful God is. Even my dog is a reminder that God is so good to all of us. I'm a proud Christian and I'm glad that I am.

Yeah.,i storngly belive in god.,i'm sure there is a power which everyone calling as god.,its not only words many people in this world have diffrent experience in god., belivers of exist since historical peroid .,do you ever think why peoples start this type of things., i belive the strength of god is much more than any of other supernatural or natural powers....!

My God this is what I believe. God helps us in every difficulty, and sometimes just to pray and if a stone falls from our soul. with God we can share everything that we can not tell the others. whenever I have a dilemma or a serious problem I pray to God and he gives me light in the tunnel. nice day!

As a human being whenever you realize that you are so limited and short lived when your science is unable to answer the mystery of universe then it comes about the existence of almighty God. God is the creator of this universe and all of its creatures. Those who are believers it is not even right for them to discuss about God and his power we can just believe that God is almighty.

I don't believe in a god, not in the god people are talking about, in who's name they fight wars and scold at other. Thinking their god is the only one. To my opinion such a god can never be a god of love. Which I think god isn't since he was killing too. I also can not believe in this god because it seems to be a he, a man. If he used himself for an example he can't be only a him. Since man and women don't look the same, are the same, think the same. If I would believe in something it would be in a goddess. If it comes to believe I believe more in the old believes (Celts) as in the new believes (catholic, christianity, islam).

How can god be good and full of love if he allows those who believe in him to fight and kill eachother? Where are those good deeds? How come nearly nobody is able to accept and love his/her neighbour (everyone)? Already since ages people fight wars in his name, they lie, cheat, rape (incl. the leaders of some churches), take away women their rights (without women there is no life). God seems to be a man. If I would believe in a god it would be a she so a goddess. To some it might be necessary to have an images of their god (I don't think that should be forbidden) but for me there is no need to. I am capble myself to decide what is good and what is wrong. I don't need a god or church to show me the way and tell me with whom I am allowed to talk to or live with.
