look at how many DIFFERENT answers
How can we ever have a discussion about God when we can't even define God?
It seems to me we would all be taliking about something different and no real communication could occur.

God is purely one and the author of the universe.there is purely one God," the author, the Sustainer. Allah is One, with none companions. He has no sharers in His essence, attributes, movements, or rulings. he's the only author of all that exists, has existed, and could ever exist. each and everything except Him is His creation – that's, a contingent being that got here into life after it did not previously exist. He on my own controls all activities, causes, and outcomes, and no skill exists independently of His skill. not something occurs outdoors of His will, neither earlier He willed it, nor after He willed it, neither better than what He willed, nor less than what He willed. there is not something like Him, and it isn't accessible to imagine or conceive Him. he's not qualified with information from the guidelines of His creation. he's not encompassed with information from direction or distance. Allah existed as He has continually been earlier the creation of time and area.2 He not purely created time and area, yet he's transcendentally previous them, such that He won't be able to be “in” an section, He won't be able to be “everywhere,” and He won't be able to be “nowhere.” Allah is the endlessly-cutting-edge, mandatory first reason. compared to His creation, that's a accessible existent problem to nonbeing, starting up, and ending, Allah has no starting up and he will not in any respect perish or come to an end. students have also defined, “Bringing creation into life did not upload something to His attributes that changed into not already there. he's the Sustainer of each and everything, straight away protecting each and every instant of the life of all issues. He on my own supplies existence and He on my own supplies lack of existence, and he will re-create and resurrect residing rational beings for judgment and retribution basically as He created them the first time. not something is demanding for Him.

My definition doesn't matter. God is who He is, and no definition we could ever all agree on (that'll never happen) would be adequate to describe Him. Read the Bible if you want a picture of Who God is.

God.... well I believe there is nobody who can fully describe him.
Trying to describe him would be like trying to pour the ocean into a seashell. Our minds simply cannot comprehend God.

The Biblical definition. :)
He is the Creator; He is love; He is just and merciful.
I recommend reading the Bible. Don't listen to what I or anyone else says about Him-- find out for yourself. :)

Try to read the Genesis and each time you find the word "God" or "Lord" substitute it with the word "nature"... It match!

"God" is the sum of all the good man is capable of...
additional details:
perhaps there are so many different answers because there are so many different religions and beliefs and ways to interpret each.
