What is God to you?

Question

And what is Heaven?

Answer 1

God is not there and heaven isn't relevent either. They are both something humans made up for comfort.

Answer 2

God is the formless, genderless, omnipresent, eternal energy source which is the process of life itself. Not a being, or an old guy with a long white beard and flowing robes sitting in a throne in some heaven in outer space somewhere. We are each an individuation of God, created of the same matter as God. Together we are the sum (son) total of God.

Heaven is the alternate spiritual dimension to which we all return to continue our true soul lives when this physical incarnation ends. Once there, we may stay or we may choose to return to the physical, either in another form or to relive the same form, over and over again.

Answer 3

God is that feeling you get when you're playing with your dog and simply enjoying the sun shine down on you. God is experienced in a heart felt talk with a friend or relative. God can't be lost, only forgotten and ignored in our all too busy lives.

To me, God is something I can't quite explain but I know there is a Divine energy working in every aspect of our lives. Even the most seemingly insignificant moments can have purpose if we live in the now.

I think the ultimate definition of God is found in the teachings of all the great spiritual teachers who have walked the Earth: God is Love. Totally unconditional love, all embracing and ever within us.

Heaven is no further away than our heart.

Answer 4

God is a mysterious power that some of us spend a lot of time and energy searching for. it's not in vain. God does exist, but everything is one. It is a mysterious power that was with us all along. it is like joseph campbell described... one looks out across a bay to the island on the other side. and they work hard to prepare for a journey... the journey comes and they set out in a little boat, all alone, into the misty water. they arrive at that island, greeted by happy people, everything is blissful. then the mist clears and they look out from the shore... there was no bay. the land is not an island. it's the same land as they were standing on before the journey began... but they did not know this before they risked the journey. "the kingdom of heaven is spread out upon the earth, and yet we do not see it."

Answer 5

God is a fictional character. Heaven is a byproduct of a system of control. In biblical times peasants were told to work the land for the wealthiest land owners and not complain or rise up. Your reward will be the afterlife. To this day the Catholic church remains the richest landowners in the world. Wake up from your baptized coma and smell the capitalism.

Answer 6

God is a medium to which some people percieve the world. The same way that Newton's laws are to other people. It all depends how you wish to percieve reality. For me, however, I try my best to not believe I word I say. So, in some ways, God is a voice of absolute truth; and Heaven is embracing what you can't accept.

Answer 7

God is my Father in Heaven. Christ is my Savior and Redeemer. The Holy Ghost is my Comforter and Guide. Heaven is the place that I strive to achieve while here on earth.

Answer 8

God is the most important thing in my life. Not only did He give me life, but He made me who I am and what I am. Heaven is where I and all faithful believers in Him will go to live with Him someday.

Answer 9

God is the answer for everything people dont know yet. The day we know everything, god will sieze to exist. He was imagined as a way to solve any unrational problem, or any problem withought an answer for a time. The more science progresses, the less we need god, and a time will come when all will sieze to believe in something as foolish as that.

Answer 10

God is my Salvation, my everything. He is my way to Heaven, a place where I can live eternally and love living eternally. Without God, I am nothing.
