What is your definition of 'God'?

Answer 1

God is a metaphor created by ancient peoples to explain things they couldn't possibly know at the time, such as how the sun crosses the sky and how the rain falls to quench their crops.

Answer 2

The name God refers to the deity held by monotheists to be the supreme reality. God is generally regarded as the sole creator of the universe. As of 2007, a majority of human beings are classified as adherents of religions that worship a monotheistic God, usually the Abrahamic God of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

Theologians have ascribed certain attributes to God, including omniscience, omnipotence, omnipresence, perfect goodness, divine simplicity, and eternal and necessary existence. He has been described as incorporeal, a personal being, a source of moral obligation, and the greatest conceivable existent. These attributes were supported to varying degrees by the early Christian, Muslim, and Jewish scholars, including St Augustine, Al-Ghazali, and Maimonides, respectively.

All the notable medieval philosophers developed arguments for the existence of God,attempting to wrestle with the contradictions God's attributes seem to imply. The last few hundred years of philosophy have seen sustained attacks on some of the arguments for God's existence, put forth by such philosophers as Immanual Kant, David Hume and Antony Flew, although Kant held that the Argument from morality for the existence of God was valid. The theist response has been either to contend, like Alvin Plantinga, that faith is properly basic; or to accept, like Richard Swinburne, the evidentialist challenge.

Answer 3

"God" is the effect of a relationship among subjects exhibiting mutual respect and love. The idea known as "God" is not some external, personal being, but rather the glue of reciprocity that allows society to function efficiently. When one experiences "God", they are actually experiencing a working social reality. Thus, one of the few parts of the Bible that could possibly be taken literally is "God is love."

Answer 4

Good question!!!!!! How to put it into words?

God is the supreme being who was the creator of our souls. He planted the seeds of the universe and watched us evolve and grow as a society. He is only benevolent towards us but He does not interfere with us here.

See, I believe we make charts before we come here. We have a purpose for living this life, since we have lived many of them, and we come here to expand our knowledge. We desire to educate our souls.

Answer 5

I believe God is different in each person's perception of Him. My God is a loving father who says, "NO" a lot, to protect a person from his own prayers. My God is a forgiving God......strict, but forgiving. My God is someone I chat with in prayers..........not just asking for things, but really thanking him for this and that, chatting about things. Because I am white, I think of God as white to me, black to black people, Asian to Asian people, and so on. It makes sense to me, that way. My God has many different names, in different cultures. To me, The ladder doesn't matter, it is the WAY you climb. I believe this to mean that I don't care WHAT religion you believe in, there is God there, and how you behave is a lot more important than what you CALL your religion.

Answer 10

GOD IS !!!!! There is no defining GOD.... GOD is the why, the unexplainable. It is so hard for mankind to grasp that everything does not have to be explained.. He is the air I breathe, the sunshine in my life, the reason I arise each morning. HE simply is.
