who is God to you?

Answer 1

He is our creator and everyone knows it deep down in their soul. If there is not God there would be no reason for being, no moral internal code, no hope for life and no salvation. He is everything to me. I would rather live my whole life believing in him and die to find out I was wrong then to live my whole life not believing in him to die and find HIM there.

Answer 2

God, there is no god but He, the Living, the Everlasting; The Eternal, The Absolute. The One and Only. The knower of visible and invisible, Most beneficent, Most Merciful, The Sovereign, Source of Peace, The Protector, The Guardian, The Hearer, The Seer, The Creator, Provider, The Self-Sufficient, The Majestic, The High, The Great.

He is God, The First: Nothing is before Him, The Last: Nothing is After Him, The Most High: Nothing is Above Him, The Most Near: Nothing is beyond His Reach.

"Vision comprehendeth Him not, but He comprehendeth (all) vision. He is the Subtle, the Aware." (QURAN 6: 102)

Such Is God

"God, there is no god but He, the Living, the Everlasting; slumber does not seize him nor does sleep; to Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth. Who is there that shall intercede with Him, except by His permission? He knows what is before them and what is after them, but they do not comprehend anything of His knowledge, except what He will. His Throne extends over the heavens and earth, and their guarding does not strain Him; and He is the High, the Great." (QURAN 2:255)

God, who is Perfect in every manner and aspect. He begets not, nor is He begotten. He is not Created nor Sustained. Yet He Creates and Sustains all that there is in existence. His Creation is not a part of Him. God is not now, nor was He ever in His Creation. And there does not exist in His Creation anything like unto Him. He is Unique,

He is God—the Creator, the Maker, and the Giver of Form. To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names. Everything in the heavens and Earth glorifies Him. He is the Almighty, the All-Wise. Quran 59: 24

Answer 4

God, to me, is not a sentient entity and therefore is not a "Who" but a what. I'm all about the "collective unconscious" though I guess that means god is the "who" of "who is all consciousness!"

Answer 10

Conceptions of God can vary widely, despite the use of the same term for them all. Theologians and philosophers have studied countless conceptions of God since the dawn of civilization. The God of monotheism, pantheism or panentheism, or the supreme deity of henotheistic religions, may be conceived of in various degrees of abstraction.

The gathered conceptions come from different fields as:

Religion, focusing upon the three monotheist Abrahamic religions and the main Eastern ones, sourced in their Sacred writings and theological derived processes
Abrahamic conceptions of God
Biblical definition of God
Kabbalistic definition of God
Negative theology
God as unity or trinity
Binitarianism
God in Sikhism
Conceptions of God in Hinduism
God in Buddhism;
Esotericism, focusing upon esoteric-mystic and hermeticist views which conceive the whole cosmos as a living and evolving embodiement of higher spiritual reality
The All
The Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception;
Metaphysics and Philosophy, focusing upon abstract thought based in intellectual logics, as an attempt to harmonize conceptions
Aristotelian view of God
The Ultimate;
Modern views, which range from applying deep theological studies to approaches of experiencing through more mystic or transcendent views
Process theology and Open theism
Posthuman God
God as an extraterrestrial
Phenomenological definition of God.

History of monotheism
Main article: Monotheism

16th century Christian view of Genesis: God creates Adam (Michelangelo, Sistine Chapel)Monotheistic religions today are often thought of as having relatively recent historical origins — although comparison is difficult as many religions claim to be very ancient or eternal. Eastern religions, especially in China and India, that have concepts of panentheism, are notably difficult to classify along Western notions of monotheism vs. polytheism. Attempting to compare the two may be likened to the geometric puzzle of comparing the number of sides of a square to those of a circle.

In the Ancient Orient, many cities had their own local god, although this henotheistic worship of a single god did not imply denial of the existence of other gods. The Hebrew Ark of the Covenant is supposed (by some scholars) to have adapted this practice to a nomadic lifestyle, paving their way for a singular God. Yet, many scholars now believe that it may have been the Zoroastrian religion of the Persian Empire that was the first monotheistic religion, and the Jews were influenced by such notions (this controversy is still being debated)[2].

The innovative cult of the Egyptian solar god Aten was promoted by the pharaoh Akhenaten (Amenophis IV), who ruled between 1358 and 1340 BC. The Aten cult is often cited as the earliest known example of monotheism, and is sometimes claimed to have been a formative influence on early Judaism, due to the presence of Hebrew slaves in Egypt. But even though Akhenaten's hymn to Aten offers strong evidence that Akhenaten considered Aten to be the sole, omnipotent creator, Akhenaten's program to enforce this monotheistic world-view ended with his death; the worship of other gods beside Aten never ceased outside his court, and the older polytheistic religions soon regained precedence.

Other early examples of monotheism include two late rigvedic hymns (10.129,130) to a Panentheistic creator god, Shri Rudram, a Vedic hymn to Rudra, an earlier aspect of Shiva often referred to by the ancient Brahmans as Stiva, a masculine fertility god, which expressed monistic theism, and is still chanted today; the Zoroastrian Ahuramazda and Chinese Shang Ti. The worship of polytheistic gods, on the other hand, is seen by many to predate monotheism, reaching back as far as the Paleolithic. Today, monotheistic religions are dominant, though other systems of belief still exist.
