How do you say 'God' in chinese and african?

Question

if you have more than one chinese or african dialect that would be great also.

Answer 1

I'm not a Chinese nor I'm an African.

Answer 2

- God in Chinese: (Christian God)
The term used commonly in Protestant Chinese bibles for God is Shēn, or " 神" (the space before the character "神" is intentionally used to preserve formatting). This term is much more generic, meaning god, God, spirit, or soul. This probably appeals to groups who are not committed to interperating Shangdi as a historical or spiritual equivalent to the "God Most High" of the Bible. The issue has remained controversial for over a century and Protestant organizations often publish two versions of the Bible, using the two different words

Choose whatever god you want :)

Answer 3

i don't think of God is any of those. God is a spirit. (S)he ought to or received't have a actual embodiment in any respect. If the Bible is actual, we are all descended from the problem-free ancestors, Adam and Eve, and we are all descended from the guy who changed into "created in God's image." if so, then it must be the flaws we've in problem-free that are "God's image" not the flaws that divide us: skin colour, hair colour, eye colour, ethnic good factors, ect. i in my view have self assurance that that's our mind, our means to imagine and reason, our "divine spark" that makes us residing, sentient beings is the area human beings that changed into made in the "image" of God, not our actual bodies. no matter if our actual bodies were created in a twin of God, that still does not advise he seems precisely like a human seems. Bratz dolls were created in the "image" of human beings, yet they don't extremely look human. back, taking the Bible because the source, we are advised that no you may look upon the face of God and stay. So inspite of God's organic variety ought to nicely be, that's likely to be something previous what the residing human concepts can understand.

Answer 4

A christian Chinese would use "Shang-di上帝" or "shen 神" or "Zhu主"
