"We are all part of the One Spirit. When you experience the true meaning of religion, which is to know God, you will realize that He is your Self, and that He exists equally and impartially in all beings."
–Paramahansa Yogananda

We believe that the one and only true God is the Father, the Creator. We hold this belief because it is the doctrine taught by our Lord Jesus Christ and His Apostles (John 17:3, 1: I Corinthians 8:6). God is a Spirit (John 4:24), and, therefore, He has no flesh and bones (Luke 24:39).
There is no trinity of persons in God. Though the Bible speaks of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, never does it refer to all of them as gods nor as three persons in one God; rather, it points to the Father alone as the true God. The Son Himself emphasized that only the Father is the true God (John 17:3, 1) and that He himself is a man telling the truth which He received from God (John 8:40). The prophets also teach that we have only one Father who created us (Malachi 2:10); Isaiah 64:4, 8). He alone is God, there is no other God and no one is like Him (Isaiah 46:9)
God is from everlasting to everlasting, with no beginning or end (Psalms 90:2), immortal (I Timothy 1:17), and does not tire or become weary (Isaiah 40:28).
He alone is the creator of heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth and all things therein, and the seas and all that is in them (Nehemiah 9:6)

wow...I think it's really funny that you ask a question about God in a religion and spirtuality forum and almost every answer you get is from an atheist comparing God to mythology and other make believe characters. R&S is enough to give someone a very painful headache.

I grew up as a southren baptist/christian. So I believe God sent his son to live and to die for us so that if we believe that he died we will go to heaven and not hell. I also believe that he is a forgiving God and all. But I think some of the extremists are ridiculous and i've had a bad experience with them. So that's all

I think you meant a deity
I don't believe in make believe
the word god is likely to be the most missunderstood word in our language
to each person it means something else based on info and experience, doctrines and dogmas

hai dazzle,
God is the creator of heaven and earth. Everything shall perish, but He remains.
God,who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets.

If you "think" it, it isn't God for God is beyond human conceptual mind!

when you ponder this: Athiests believe we will rot in the ground. If they are right, we both rot in the ground. If those who have faith are right, the athiest goes to hell and the believer goes to heaven.
So for the Atheist, its not looking good.
I believe in god, just not orgainzed religion. i believe its all politics and greed.
