If you believe in god, who or what is the god of your understanding?

Question

How do you know god? As a being? As an energy? I believe that god is everything and most importantly unconditional love. As a believer in god, I feel that this is what I am trying to come closer to in all of my lives. Please share with me. Thanks.

Answer 1

I am a devote believer in evolution and the big bang theory. So, I guess my God is whatever set off the big bang. Whatever flipped the switch that kick-started the universe, that is my God.
That is the one part of the big bang theory that gets me. How could there have been nothingness one second, and the next second a huge explosion and out spews the universe. So, whatever set off that explosion, that is my God.

Answer 2

As we in essence are unknowable, so God is even more so, as God is our fashioner, our creator. How I come to know God and learn about God is through God's manifestations who appear every 500 to 1000 years and bring revealed words and teachings that have the capacity to breathe new life into every created thing and advance civilization. The most recent of these manifestations of God is Baha'u'llah. I am a Baha'i.

Whatever I think is the nature of God is what we humans really are. I am simply helpless to get my mind around God. However, I have an easier time understanding the idea of a manifestation of God whom I describe as the reflection of the sun in the mirror, but not the sun come to earth out of the sky. Like you I feel this absolute light, love, mercifulness, and acceptance from God and the manifestations of God, all of them, including those ancient ones lost to history, Krishna, Zoroaster, Moses, Buddha, Christ, Mohammad, The Bab, and Baha'u'llah. I am so grateful to be alive in this day and age. Thank you for inviting us to share these sweet things.

Answer 4

Yes I do believe in God
I have a personal relationship with God, He is my Father, my shield, my guide, my knowledge , strength, wisdom, He is my energy.
To me His unconditional is the most important as well, with this love He loves everyone, His love don't hurt no one, nor does it reject anyone, this love excepts everyone no matter who you are what you have done or where you have been, it is a forgiving unconditional love for all..where else would or could anyone find this love here on earth?

Answer 5

I believe in a personal God....It is my firm conviction by both faith and experiencially,that Jesus is the Son of God as well as God the Son.

Answer 6

The god of our understanding is our own human reasoning personified as a diety. The words are clear, our own understanding has raised up a god, a diety, someone to worship. But it's our own self, not greater than our self. We control it and delude ourselves into making our own self a god. We are sinning by worshipping a false god. There is one true and living God who is God Almighty, the creator of heaven and earth, who has promised to save all who repent (turn away from sin) and come to him by faith believing in the promise of remission (payment for) of sin by the blood of the Lamb of God.

Answer 7

God is the alpha and the omega. He has no beginning and He has no end. The creator, sustainer and Redeemer.

Answer 8

As a polytheist, I believe in *many* godhs. I follow the reconstructed indigenous folkway of my Northern European ancestors, because THOSE godhs are "mine."

They are beings of wisdom and power.

Answer 9

I believe 'God' is an energy that is unimaginably powerful and not always about love...

Answer 10

i'm reminded of Sartre:

"Even if I think it is God that I obey, it is I who decided that is was God who spoke to me."
