i want you to define "GOD"?

Answer 1

An institutionalized Imaginary Friend, believed to have super powers. Only known weakness: sane, rational thought

Answer 2

That's a good question, and it is one that I have been contemplating for a long time. After much thought, I have more or less accepted the fact that I really can't define God. To me, God is undefinable.

My reasoning behind this is that the God I believe in is infinite, and an infinite being cannot be contained nor comprehended by a finite being. Take the notion of infinity itself, and ponder that for a moment. I could count forever and never stop counting. At the point I reach a number, there is always a number the succeeds it. There is no way possible to contain all those numbers in my mind.

But rather than define God, I think that I can describe him. A analogy that I like to use, although an imperfect one, is a tree. I can identify a specific tree based on characteristics about that tree. I can identify it by location, number of leaves, number of branches, species, height. I don't have to however have exhaustive knowledge about that tree to know what I am talking about. The same applies to God. I don't have to have exhaustive knowledge about God to know God.

Answer 4

There are many gods but only one true God so take your pick and define one. It really doesn't matter what you define a god as they will be what they are.

Answer 5

each person understands 'the devine' in their own way

just like trying to define love, there is no end of descriptions

each person has own view and understanding based on life experiences

if we could define god, we may undo ourselves

since man created the abstract idea of 'god' to explain things, and is doing so still, it is impossible

god is many things to many people, but one thing is certain, un-definable and never can agree what god is

Answer 6

Mose asked God: What shall I tell your people if they ask me, what is your name?

In response Jehovah explained the meaning of his name. He said to Moses: “I shall prove to be what I shall prove to be.” (Exodus 3:14) Many Bible translations here read: “I am that I am.” But the careful rendering in the New World Translation shows that God was not merely affirming his own existence. Rather, he was teaching Moses—and by extension all of us—what that name implies. Jehovah would “prove to be,” or cause himself to become, whatever was needed in order to fulfill his promises. J. B. Rotherham’s translation pointedly renders this verse: “I Will Become whatsoever I please.” One authority on Biblical Hebrew explains the phrase this way: “Whatever the situation or need . . . , God will ‘become’ the solution to that need.”

What did that mean to the Israelites? No matter what obstacle loomed before them, no matter how difficult the predicament in which they might find themselves, Jehovah would become whatever was needed in order to deliver them from slavery and bring them into the Promised Land. Surely that name inspired confidence in God. It can do the same for us today. (Psalm 9:10) Why?

To illustrate: Parents know how versatile and adaptable they must be in caring for their children. In the course of a single day, a parent may be called upon to act as a nurse, a cook, a teacher, a disciplinarian, a judge, and much more. Many feel overwhelmed by the wide range of roles they are expected to fill. They remark upon the absolute faith put in them by their little ones, who never doubt that Daddy or Mommy can make the hurt better, settle all disputes, fix any broken toy, and answer whatever question pops into their endlessly inquisitive minds. Some parents are humbled and occasionally frustrated by their own limitations. They feel woefully inadequate to fill many of these roles.

Jehovah too is a loving parent. Yet, within the framework of his own perfect standards, there is nothing he cannot become in order to care for his earthly children in the best possible way. So his name, Jehovah, invites us to think of him as the best Father imaginable. (James 1:17) Moses and all other faithful Israelites soon learned that Jehovah is true to his name. They watched in awe as he caused himself to become an unbeatable Military Commander, the Master of all natural elements, a peerless Lawgiver, Judge, Architect, Provider of food and water, Preserver of clothing and footgear—and more.

Answer 7

God of the Bible said "I am what I am." In that He expressed His omnipotent existence. Not bound by time or distance , for He created these things. Not material, for he created all substance. God is an all encompassing spirit of perfection. Perfect in His laws that hold together the universe, perfect in His authority over all that is, perfect in this love for all He has created; and perfect in His final judgement over all that have defied Him and corrupted or polluted His creation.
