What is a definition of a god, an angel or a soul?

Question

People talk about and argue over these very subjects but I am not sure that everyone agrees on a definition...this could be a problem.

Answer 1

God is the creator of EVERYTHING, an angel is a spirit made by God that serves him and does not live full time on earth, like we do. and a soul is not as much physical as mental. picture you withought your body, your "outer shell". we are left with your feelings, your knowledge, your desires, a spirit without a covering.

Answer 2

A god is anything that a person puts his faith in and believes to be powerful-God, with a capitol letter indicates the true God, Jehovah, which is almighty and created all things, including angels, Jesus, the universe, and so on. A god does nothing, creates nothing, and can give you nothing......An angel is a son of the true God, a spirit being......A soul is the living force within a person, or the person. The soul dies when a person dies, thus when one dies he is conscious of nothing at all-the only hope of living again is through resurrection......KECK

Answer 3

God created all beings in existence...

Angels praise God and surround his throne in the Heavens. They also record each person's actions in a record that will be used to decide your fate on Judgment Day. Archangels, like Gabriel and Michael, are His instruments of communication between Him and humans, as well as Jinns.

Souls inhabit the human material body for an assigned period of time, and they return to God when a person sleeps or dies, but are returned back to the body when a person wakes up, or is resurrected on Judgment Day.

Answer 4

God is of course the hardest of these, and the definitively least agreed upon.

and Soul is the least-debated, I'd say...

for me, the soul is the essence of the self... who you are, your memorys of this, and other lives, detached from many of the concerns that we have in the form we currently have. not *ALL* concerns mind you... just alot of them, no concern for eating for example, and you could say an altered perspective on interpersonal relationships and all. Love and such can still be there, but its in a more pure,... observant way, rather than being mixed and tainted with things like lust and animal drives that are attached to it in some cases.
this aspect is more or less the entity that you are without the body you currently occupy, this can be similar to how you now look, or different, sometimes drastically. this is pretty much your truest self.

an Angel, is most of the time, an entity that is created to be in incorporeal form as a default, where human souls for example, are "meant" to incarnate more and "designed" such to adapt to this more readily.
its arguable about angels and free will, in my opinion the majority have some more or less free will, but the most do not, at least not compared to humans.
some view humans who have "completed" their time taking human form, and whats called ascended (this is not a rip off from stargate... the concept of ascending in the way I'm talking about has been around much longer) to become a form of angel, but this is more almost like a super-angel, because they have the benefits of human-ness, without most of the drawbacks, which would make them substantially more "powerful" than regular angels.

for me, theres 3... degrees, of God-ity that are defined by different capitalizations,
GOD = the gestalt sum of all that is. this includes everything, good, bad, indifferent, truly beyond and above all time and space and dimensions, in absolute infinity of infinitys in every way. NOTHING excluded whatsoever.
God = GOD, but deliberately ignoring portions of things as to be more personable, as the "whole" form would be pretty much neutral on pretty much everything, and thats just not very helpful.
god = a peice of the whole, well, everything is a peice of the whole, and a microcosm of it, but one could say this is more of a "sizable" chunk of it thats aware of what it is, this of course is a rather contraversial view, but meh.

Answer 5

Jesus tells us in the scriptures that the Father is spirit and must be worshipped in spirit.

Answer 7

the word GOD means:-
1.G___ FOR GENERATOR OF THE UNIVERSE
2.O___ FOR ORGANIZER OF THE UNIVERSE AND COSMOS.
3.D___ FOR DESTROYER OF EVERYTHING.

GOD IS AN ABSOLUTE CREATOR

Everyone knows that all sweets are made by the sweet-maker and this is how everyone believes in the maker of sweets but somehow some people do not believe The Creator of fruits while fruits are more complicated in creation, better than sweets in taste, flavour, appearance and use.
Those who believe in facts and think in a proper direction will never refute by believing in The Creator of fruits and all things. Sweets are also the creation of God because God made the sweet-maker and the knowledge of sweet making.

GOD IS THE CREATOR OF ALL THINGS

All things were made by God Only and no one created God because God is an Absolute Creator of the knowledge of creation.

GOD

Since nothing resembles God therefore God is unseen, unfelt and untouched. Since inception no one could see God and no one can see God and God is realized only through Gods Creation and Gods Mighty works and that is the most magnificent mega fact.
God created the conscious, senses of the creatures and enabled them to see and hear, so that they could ponder over the creation of things and realize their God and their Lord. God commanded them through messengers to have faith in One Alone God Only and all messengers left behind the same message.

GOD IS GENDER-FREE

When God created things, God created them in pairs. All males and females are creatures on earth and in heaven and God is gender free because God does not resembles with Gods creatures.
God is The Absolute Holy in Gods Holiness and Only One Alone God in Gods Oneness and Loneliness.
God is One which does not means One in counting but One because there is no other God. Absolute in reality and ultimate in creation.

GOD THE ONLY CREATOR

God Our Lord is The Only Creator of all things. Gods Might and Power of creating things is even beyond human imagination. Only God creates all eggs and all seeds and from eggs brings up all living beings and from seeds brings up all kinds of plants and no one can do such mighty works. Even if creatures make eggs and seeds they will never be able to bring living beings and plants out of them because it is not the process of growing which lets every egg and seed grow but it is the Commandment of the Lord our God (Let it BE) which makes and enables them to become living beings and plants and that is not the limit of Gods Power of Creation; but God can create things without eggs and seeds. For example God created Jesus without a human seed by commanding (Let it BE). Before Jesus Our God created Eve and Adam and all things without eggs and seeds first time and then commanded them to lay eggs and produce seeds. So today what we see is the commanding situation of Gods Creative Power.
Appropriate way of belief in God is that, God should not be considered in terms of things as nothing of the whole series of things___ is alike God. That is why that God is termed as Super-natural and Super-physical. And, such a terminology is completely correct, as we can not determine that how-like is God. Nor we can say that such and such thing is alike God.

To pronounce God’s glory in proper terms, we should not say, “God is not a thing”. Instead, we should say, “Nothing is alike God”. Delicate difference of the both sentences is a particularly notice-worthy. If we say that:

“God is not a thing”

then, the intellect (which is accustomed to perceive things) will say that God is nothing and God is not existing. Whereas God is existing here and there everywhere. So, when we say that:

“Nothing is alike God”

then, it is automatically declared that God is the beyond of everything and God is not a thing. God is very much existing but God is not perceivable by human intellect.

To believe in God in rational terms, we should positively know that what is a thing. Such knowledge will enable us to know the Creator, with reference to God’s created things, conveniently.

Everything, according to the most modern knowledge, is perceived on account of its reality based organic order and composition. And____ the organic order and composition of a thing, are determined under some particular rules and regulations. That is why that a thing remains different from the other thing and it remains specific representative of it’s own kind. An apple remains apple___ a mango remains mango___ a flower remains flower___ and a thorn remains a thorn. And___ they are never exchanged with each other, at any stage of their development inspite of their atmospheric and biological similarity.

Here___ the intellect is highly amazed that how-like are these working rules and regulations, which do not let the things go beyond their organic limits. Wherefrom have these rules & regulations come including their regulative force, which remains always intact and is never decayed by the passage of time. Are these rules and regulations alive? Of course, they are alive, as it is evident from their creative working. But who has given them such a strange & marvelous life? These are the questions, entailing in certain other questions, for which, human intellect has no answer at all.

The only and the alone answer in this regard is that, some Ordainer of these rules & regulations is definitely alive and existing. Who is the All-Alone Creator of everything including it’s order and composition or its characteristics. But rest assured that even the commonplace creature, is not encompass-able by human intellect in real terms. So, how the Creator can be encompassed by the human intellect.

Presence of countless creatures with their living characteristics, however, makes us understand that the Creature is very much existing and present, everywhere, quiet close to the creatures. But the Creator is not checked by any border or limit or by some organism, as every organism, itself, is a sort of limitation. So, the Creator is the Absolute & the Infinite and nothing is alike the Creator. And nothing can be ever alike the Creator as everything is limited by certain organism. Whereas the Creator is the Ordainer of every organism. The Creator is not an organism at all.

Existence of the universe and it’s marvelous chain of complexed systems___ working in highly delicate fractions and frequencies___ are the ever-sounding witnesses of the existence of their Creator. Who is existing everywhere but is not an object of existence like a thing. As nothing of the existing or non-existing things can be alike the Creator. So, men, of intellect should positively pay heed, to the revealed information___ coming from the beyond of this universe.

The latest scientific result that:

“No material thing is capable to create it by itself”

is very much harmonized with the revealed truth that

“Nothing is alike the Creator (God)”

The former is not only harmonized with the latter, rather, it is rationally leading every modern information and scientific calculation of the day, to its actual and the ultimate destination. The truth springs out automatically when we join these two sentences together.

So, whenever we say that:
“No material thing is capable to create it by itself”,

then, it will be automatically decided that there is some Creator of everything. Likewise whenever we say that:
“Nothing is alike the Creator”,
then, it will be also automatically decided, that the Creator is free from every sort of organism and the Creator is Absolute and Infinite, in absolute & infinite terms as the Creator is Holy.

In presence of this vast and inapprehensible universe, we can not deny the presence of it’s Creator. Who is not encompass-able by human intellect, as the Creator is the Super-natural and the Super-physical. So we can not declare the created things as God.

If everything had been God and God had been everything, then, the revealed verdict would have not been like that:
“Nothing is alike the Creator (God)”.

Therefore, none of the things of universe, material or immaterial, solid or liquid, bright or dark, open or hidden, physical or metaphysical, partial or the whole, including the life and death, and the beginning and the end and so on____ can be declared as God or image of God___ as the creature can never be alike God.

In the other words, we cannot make any image or imagination of God. So those___ who worship any image or imagination of God____ they do not worship God___ instead they worship an idol___ made by their own intellect.

To make some image or imagination of God, is not possible and permissible on account of the fact and the verdict that “nothing is alike god”. No soil, no stone, no wood and no metal can ever be or become alike God. None of these things can give us any idea or information, about God. We can not take the idols and images___ even as some signs or signals____ pointing to God. Such an act will be the misuse of intellect and a tremendous injustice. Intellect is ordained to believe the Unseen God in the light of the testimony of heart and that is the faith in reality.

No painter can paint any image of God and no philosopher can develop any imagination of God. That is why that to deal with the most important matter of the belief in God____ Prophets were sent by God. If they had not come then we would have been lead astray____ definitely____ on account of our material thinking.

Brain can not encompass the Creator, even, after consumption of its whole potential.

Albert Einstein has declared the universe as inapprehensible on account of its infinity. As such, he has pointed out the limits of the brain.

We can utter the word of God, Eishwar, Jehovah or Allah, as a name of the Creator. But we can not treat it, as the name, which can encompass the real existence of Creator.

Space____ is the name of a thing, which declares the space as a thing. It is the name of such a thing, which encircles the material objects but itself is like an immaterial state. In the same way God is a name but it does not declare God as a thing. And____ it is a specific name for the Creator of everything. The Creator is not a thing and nothing is alike the Creator.
The Bible itself, tells that what kinds of changes were brought therein to mislead the people of Gospels. Torah (the Law of Moses) says that God talked to the nation of Moses on the mount Sinai where God gave the Commandments in
Godly voice.

When people heard the voice, they did tremble in fear and awe. And, later on, they requested the Lord, not to talk to them, so directly again. Because to bear with the Godly voice, was beyond their tolerance. The Lord, of course, acceded to their request.

God’s Foremost Commandment was about God’s Absolute Aloneness.
God said:-

“Worship no god but Me”.
(Exodus, 20:3)

“I, and I alone, am God; no other god is real.
I kill and I give life, I wound and I heal,
And no one can oppose what I do”.
(Duet. 32:39)

That was the foremost Commandment, given by the Lord in Godly voice to the nation of Moses. Wherein God mentioned further:-
“Worship Me alone and whosoever
will worship the god, other than Me,
will be My rival. And, I tolerate no
rivals. I will curse the people who do so”.

God also mentioned to the people___ not to make & worship the images of God. God told them that nothing is alike God in the heaven or on the earth, or under the earth, or in the water.

It simply meant that God is not like anything at all and a thing or a creature can never be considered as God.

The Bible also tells us that God is Omnipotent. The Book of Genesis, in its 1st chapter, says:
“God commanded, Let there be light
And the light appeared”.
(Genesis 1:3)

It simply means that God can create whatsoever God wills. So, according to the Bible, it is very clear that God, our Lord, is All Alone and whatsoever is created____ is created by God, independently.
