Those who say "Our God is an Awesome God" are they implying there are non awesome Gods ?

Answer 1

Yes.

This is what the First Commandment is all about.

The First Commandment forbids idolatry. Man commits idolatry whenever he honors and reveres a creature in place of God, whether this be gods or demons (for example, satanism), power, pleasure, race, ancestors, the state, money, etc.

In the lands that surrounded Israel, there were many who worshiped false gods including the Egyptians. Later the Jews had to deal with the Greek and Roman gods and goddesses worshiped by their Governors and occupying forces.

Today people put many things in front of God in their lives including money, status, self, power, etc.

Answer 2

When we consider the universe of hundreds of millions of stars, it becomes faith strengthening to know that there is a Creator who is an Awesome God who has constructed all things. (Heb. 3:4) It will definitely take, an All-powerful, Almighty, and Awesome Everlasting God to create the heavenly bodies.

Observing humans, one can reflect only on the Psalmist words which mention how we are wonderfully and fear-inspiringly made to reflect the image and glory of the God whose name is Jehovah.—Ps. 139:14; 83:18.

In this regard, we can rightfully say that, “Our Jehovah God is the only Awesome God.”

Answer 3

Well, you should also look at the use of "our" - it implies that there are gods that are not "our God".

In the context of the Judaeo-Christiano-Islamic God, the idea is that he is the only god there is, but at the same time other people believe in other Gods, so amongst the gods that are believed in, i guess some are more awesome than others.

Answer 4

When they say awesome they mean he is a great god, and i don't think that is anything horrible considering thats part of the religion, isn't it? To believe your god is the right god?

Answer 5

Like maybe some slightly cool Gods? Or the socially awkward, but with a heart of gold Gods?

Answer 6

I say God is an awesome God because He is our Creator, Father, and Guide. I am talking about the Father of Jesus our Savior.
Any other gods such as Greek gods, or any other god is not awesome because they never existed. They are fantasy and made up from the mind.
Read Genesis.

Answer 7

Well I say that and it's true. Our God is an Awesome God. You see you have a god too, each one of you. Maybe you call it science, maybe it's yourself, because you decided you are the one whose ideas and ideals you will follow. Maybe others make a god of wealth or money or power.

But our God is the one true god and he is awesome.

Now do you understand?

Answer 8

I'd very much like to see Jesus go head to head with Tyr.
It would be amusing.

edit: LOL Chad, yes but Tyr was fiercely loyal and if you go by the whole Jesus IS God and the whole stealing the Elder Kins people...well Tyr wouldn't like that too much.

Do Buddhists believe in a creator god?

No, we do not. There are several logical reasons for this. The Buddha, like modern scientists, sociologists and psychologists, believed that religious ideas and especially the god idea have their origins in fear. The Buddha says:

"Gripped by fear men go to sacred mountains, sacred groves, sacred trees and shrines." *Dhammpada 188

Primitive man found himself in a dangerous and hostile world, the fear of wild animals, of not being able to find enough food, of injury or disease, and of natural phenomena like thunder, lightning and volcanoes was constantly with him. Finding no security, he created the idea of god in order to give him comfort in good times, courage in times of danger and consolation when things went wrong. To this day, you will notice that people become more religious at times of crises, you will hear them say that the belief in a god gives them the strength they need to deal with life. You will hear them explain that they believe in god because they prayed in time of need and their prayer was answered. All this seems to support the Buddha’s teaching that the god-idea is a response to fear and frustration. The Buddha taught us to try to understand our fears, to lessen our desires and to calmly and courageously accept the things we cannot change. He replaced fear, not with irrational belief but with rational understanding.

The second reason the Buddha did not believe in a creator god is because there does not seem to be any evidence to support this idea. There are numerous religions, all claiming that they alone have god’s words preserved in their holy book, that they alone understand god’s nature, that their god exists and that the gods of other religions do not. Some claim that god is masculine, some that she is feminine and others that it is neuter. They are all satisfied that there is ample evidence to prove the existence of their god but they laugh in disbelief at the evidence other religions use to prove the existence of another god. It is not surprising that with so many different religions spending so many centuries trying to prove the existence of their gods that still no real, concrete, substantial or irrefutable evidence has been found. Buddhists suspend judgement until such evidence is forthcoming.

The third reason the Buddha did not believe in a creator god is that the belief is not necessary. Some claim that the belief in a god is necessary in order to explain the origin of the universe. But this is not so. Science has very convincingly explained how the universe came into being without having to introduce the god-idea. Some claim that belief in god is necessary to have a happy, meaningful life. Again we can see that this is not so. There are millions of Atheists, free-thinkers and Buddhists, who live useful, happy and meaningful lives without belief in a creator god. Some claim that belief in god’s power is necessary because humans, being weak, do not have the strength to help themselves. Once again, the evidence indicates the opposite. One often hears of people who have overcome great disabilities and handicaps, enormous odds and difficulties through their own inner resources, through their own efforts and without belief in a god. Some claim that god is necessary in order to give man salvation. But this argument only holds good if you accept the theological concept of salvation and Buddhists do not accept such a concept. Based on his own experience, the Buddha saw that each human being had the capacity to purify the mind, develop infinite love and compassion and perfect understanding. He shifted attention from the heavens to the heart and encouraged us to find solutions to our problems through self-understanding.

But if there is no creator god how did the universe get here?

All religions have myths and stories which attempt to answer this question. In ancient times, when man simply did not know, such myths were adequate, but in the 20th century, in the age of physics, astronomy and geology, such myths have been superseded by scientific fact. Science has explained the origin of the universe without recourse to the god-idea.
