Define God?

Question

Give me your own definition of God

Answer 1

The unknowable force that sparked the big bang and started us on the path to evolving as we are today.

Answer 2

God is the first person in the world. He created the world. He is to be worshipped always. You should know who God is for He created you. He must be sacred always. There are 3 persons in God. God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit. They are all in only 1 person. You might get confused with that for its a mystery and no one understands.

Answer 3

Hinduism can give some mystical answers .

Who is God? Where is God? How can I come to know God?"

God has no names, but all names are the names of God. Whether you call Him this or that, He remains Who He is. But in our tradition we call God by the loving name Siva, which is only one of His 1,008 traditional names. Supreme God Siva is both within us and outside of us. Even desire, the fulfillment of desire, the joy, the pain, the sorrow, birth and death -- this is all Siva, nothing but Siva.

This is hard to believe for the unenlightened individual who cannot see how a good, kind and loving God could create pain and sorrow. Actually, we find that Siva did not -- not in the sense that is commonly thought. God gave the law of karma, decreeing that each energy sent into motion returns with equal force.

In looking closely at this natural law, we can see that we create our own joy, our own pain, our own sorrow and our own release from sorrow. Yet we could not even do this except for the power and existence of our loving Lord. It takes much meditation to find God Siva in all things, through all things. In this striving -- as in perfecting any art or science -- regular daily disciplines must be faithfully adhered to.

Siva is the immanent personal Lord, and He is transcendent Reality. Siva is a God of love, boundless love. He loves each and every one. Each soul is created by Him and guided by Him through life. God Siva is everywhere. There is no place where Siva is not. He is in you. He is in this temple. He is in the trees. He is in the sky, in the clouds, in the planets. He is the galaxies swirling in space and the space between galaxies, too. He is the universe. His cosmic dance of creation, preservation and dissolution is happening this very moment in every atom of the universe. God Siva is, and is in all things. He permeates all things. He is immanent, with a beautiful form, a human-like form which can actually be seen and has been seen by many people in visions. He is also transcendent, beyond time, cause and space.

That is almost too much for the mind to comprehend, isn't it? Therefore, we have to meditate on these things. God Siva is so close to us. Where does He live? In the Third World. And in this form He can talk and think and love and receive our prayers and guide our karma. He commands vast numbers of devas who go forth to do His will all over the world, all over the galaxy, throughout the universe. These are matters told to us by the rishis; and we have discovered them in our own meditations. So always worship this great God. Never fear Him. He is the Self of your self. He is closer than your own breath. His nature is love, and if you worship Him with devotion you will know love and be loving toward others. Devotees of God Siva love everyone.

This is how God Siva can be seen everywhere and in everyone. He is there as the Soul of each soul. You can open your inner eye and see Him in others, see Him in the world as the world. Little by little, discipline yourself to meditate at the same time each day. Meditate, discover the silent center of yourself, then go deep within, to the core of your real Being. Slowly the purity comes. Slowly the awakening comes.

Answer 5

I serve the God who created the Heavens and the earth, and all that is. If he was small enough for me to define, he would not be God enough to worship.

Answer 6

“GOD” is a figure used to control masses into thinking what they want their society to be.
The “DEVIL” is the same, but opposite so as to keep people following “GOD”.

He and the Boogie man are friends!!! {GOD, and Santa Claus [not Saint Nick, because he WAS real!] ride the slay together!}

Answer 7

God is spirit, eternally existing in three persons - the Father,the Son and the Holy Spirit - and these three are of one essence and equal in power and glory, therefore to be honoured and worshipped equally as true God.God is above and separate from His creation yet active in it.
God the Father is the author of one eternal plan that includes all things and He is directing this plan to glorify Himself. Although God is the creator of the universe and the human race, He is the spiritual Father only of those who receive Jesus Christ by faith.

Answer 8

god by definition defies definition. if you define god, you limit god to your narro human definition and thus subtract from the divinity.

Answer 9

"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

Answer 10
