Who is God by the way?

Question

First I would like to point out that I am a believer. What I would like to point out and get your thoughts on is this: People always seem to try and give some empirical proof for God (as if that will ever happen) like the "Design" theory, but what iritates me is that we are worshipping a being whose nature we don't even understand.

Lets say he exists for one moment and then ask ourselves the following questions: What does think of gay marriage, abortion, jihads etc. Some think these things I've mentioned are ok in Gods eyes others not etc etc etc.

What's your thoughts on that?

As a final thought I would just like to ad that I think it's a waist that so many people are trying to prove God instead of understanding him.

Answer 1

I don't know him. I believe in him but I don't know him.

Answer 2

Ignosticism:

Ignosticism considers the question of the existence of gods meaningless; it sees no verifiable or testable consequences to the question (see scientific method). The term was coined by Rabbi Sherwin Wine, founder of the Society for Humanistic Judaism. Often considered synonymous with theological noncognitivism, ignosticism is popular among logical positivists such as Rudolph Carnap and A. J. Ayer, who hold that talk of gods is literally nonsense. According to ignostics, 'Does God exist?' has the same logical status as 'What color is Saturday?' -- neither has a meaningful answer.

A child's concept generally has a simple and coherent meaning, based on an anthropomorphic conception of God: a big powerful man in the sky responsible for the weather and other such matters. This anthropomorphic divine conception has been rejected by Spinoza, as well as by Feuerbach in The Essence of Christianity (1841).

A theologian's concept is more complex and abstract, often involving such concepts as first cause, sustainer, and unmoved mover and claiming such attributes for God as omnipotent, omniscient, and omnibenevolent. To the ignostic these abstractions, taken singly or in combination, cannot be said to be false; rather, they are muddled, self-contradictory, linguistically empty, or perhaps poetic. Hence, one cannot meaningfully expound on the existence or nonexistence of God.

----------------------------

But yeah, let's say this totally incomprehensible, nonsensical, garbled "thing" exists... just for the sake of discussion, yes? What would it think of gay marriage? It'd say "Let 'em marry." What would it say about abortion? "Keep it legal". What would it say about jihad? "What a waste".

This God thing is pretty concise, huh?

Answer 3

yes God exist and He has shown us HIS WILL .

Sure,,, use your mind and understand God ..... lets understand God together ......

God cannot be more than ONE because if there were many gods besides God, then there would not have been such order in the universe, and each god would have taken away what he had created, and some would have lorded it over others. If there would have been many gods then each god would try to defeat others to establish his rule.

2. God, the Eternal, Absolute


God has to be Eternal then otherwise He would have a beginning. Suppose, we say God had a beginning, then there was a time when God did not exist. It means that he needed somebody else to make him exist. So there is somebody else who is God, not him. but as we agreed that there is only one God, therefore, there is no one else who make Him exist. When we say that God cannot be born, we are also saying that a creator cannot becomes his creation, because creation means what is in need of a creator. To be a creature, mean there had to be someone to create you. So if God becomes his creation, it means now he is in need of a creator. And this is absurdity! As we know, A creation is not eternal. An eternal being is uncreated. We can conclude that the one God who is uncreated, has to be Eternal.

3. "He begets not, nor is He begotten"

It follows by logical necessity that if God is one, and if He is eternal, Then obviously He does not beget , Nor is he begotten. Because if He beget, then He will have a child and the child will have to be God-like. So there will then be two Gods, because "the son of a man" is "a man", "the son of a horse" is "a horse", but natural son of God should have to be a God. Since we agreed that there is only one God, you cannot have two. Some Christians say that Jesus and father are one God. This is again illogical claim, because If God is the Father and also the Son, He would then be the Father of Himself because He is His own Son. Moreover, If Jesus was begotten, then it means that the father is more eternal than him and more greater than him. That means you have greater God and lesser God. And "one God" cannot be greater or lesser than Himself.
OR If he was begotten, that means he would have father. Then the father will be older than him and more eternal than him. and we cannot have one who is more eternal than "ETERNAL"

The LITERAL "son of God" has to have both of two Characteristics.

1. He must have come from God OR He must have receive his life from God.
2. He must be the same kind of being as God otherwise he is not the son.

But each attribute excludes the possibility of the other.
If he receives his life from God, then he is not the same kind of being as father because God does not receive His life from anyone, that's why He is God.
If he is the same kind of being as God, then he is NO ONE'S son, because God is not the son of any being.

We see now that the two requirements in this case are Mutually exclusive. In Short, It is IMPOSSIBLE that God can LITERALLY have a son.

4. And there is none like unto Him
means He is unique unlike that which He has created. It also follows that If God is one , Absolute and Eternal, then obviously there is none like unto Him.

THIS IS WHAT ISLAM TEACHES.....

"Say: He is God, The One and Only. "God, the Eternal, Absolute.
"He begets not, nor is He begotten. And there is none like unto Him."
[Quran 112:1-4]

To find out HIS WILL,,, please refer to Glorious Quran .

most welcome for questions

[e-mail]

Answer 4

God is my Heavenly Father, my creator, my provider, my guide,
my pilot, my Savior. I believe the bible is the living word of God.
Written by man, but inspired by God. If he says " Thou shall not kill" what do you think he thinks of abortion, the killing of his
little children? A child is one of the most precious gifts God gives us, along with His love and our salvation. If he says homosexuality is an abomination to him, what do you think He thinks of gay marriage? I don't have to prove God, HE IS. He is the Living God the only God. I don't understand how people can
worship dead prophets, or cows. What can the dead do for them? What can a cow do?

Answer 5

1. Say: He is Allah, the One and Only;

2. Allah, the Eternal, Absolute;

3. He begetteth not, nor is He begotten;

4. And there is none like unto Him.

255. Allah. There is no god but He,-the Living, the Self-subsisting, Eternal. No slumber can seize Him nor sleep. His are all things in the heavens and on earth. Who is there can intercede in His presence except as He permitteth? He knoweth what (appeareth to His creatures as) before or after or behind them. Nor shall they compass aught of His knowledge except as He willeth. His Throne doth extend over the heavens and the earth, and He feeleth no fatigue in guarding and preserving them for He is the Most High, the Supreme (in glory).

Answer 6

God is your Creator! He is the Almighty Allah!

The topics that you listed have a detailed explanation in Islam but in short, in Islam; Gay marriage is not allowed, abortion is not allowed - however in the case of a rape, it is allowed if the victim wishes, jihad is compulsory on every Muslim (If you do not know about jihad go and read please. Do not misunderstand and start saying that Muslims want to kill all people).

Answer 7

You are right. All we can do is follow the commandments and draw closer to God in that. We do not understand the nature of Divine Love

Answer 8

God is Axl Rose. Sorry kids for all the confusion over this, all the deaths that had to occur.

Answer 9

I can respect that you are a believer, and I am not trying to change any peoples' beliefs.

I think we are biological beings like everything else on the planet.

I think we are just highly evolved.

Enjoy your life, because I think it is all we have.

Answer 10

God is a spirit, and they that worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and in truth.

God is the Creator of all things.

Answer 11

God is a way to get the things we need when nobody is ready to give them.
