what is God?

Answer 1

First created by our primitive barbarian ancestors somewhere in the neighborhood of 60,000 years ago, coinciding with the first appearance of ceremonial burials among homo sapiens. Using CAVE MAN logic, our ancestors created the concept of a higher being to explain the unknown.

Answer 2

God is getting someone to ask "what is God?" seemingly unambiguously yet loaded with possibilities. People will either ignore this question, answer with all their hearts, be cynical and mean, try humor or get disgustingly philosophical. I'll try the last two options, briefly.

I wasn't being completely facetious, if there is a God then we can assume that He likes to stay behind the big curtain demanding things of his subjects but not really revealing Himself or doing magic tricks for the general audience. He wants you to find Him by yourself, not through miracles and revelations. So you have to go on a journey yourself and find Him. BUT He will help you along the way.

He'll throw out little clues every now and again to get you thinking about Him again. Little clues like insane midgets exclaiming His glory or working through Yahoo! Answers and making some people ask themselves "who is God?" He wants you to melt away the little devils in your life and come back to him before he finally allows you, or someone you love, to pull back that giant green curtain. In the end you'll find you really did have everything you needed when you began the journey, you just had to find it again. Oh, and Him. Otherwise you'd never get back home. He has the only ride in town.

Answer 3

Well if we're gonna speak theology, then as the Bible says He is who is.

Whether or not God exists should be a different question. But assuming he does exist, then he is "being itself", an existence of which no definition will ever suffice.

Answer 4

God is an imaginary adults make up because they have too much time on their hand.

Man is self-alienated god. meaning that God is an imagination of God.

I don't believe that but that is what most people would say.

Answer 5

Divine Love, Truth, Mind, Soul, Spirit, Mercy, Mind, Purity, Justice, and so on.

These are humanly-understandable categories, insofar as e.g. a person knows what "love" is. "Divine Love" is Infinite, Pure, dynamic, and so on.

Hence, God is as the "Geometrization Of Divinity," the coalescence of Energy as step-down levels. Plotinus described this, and when free will veils Energy (One Mind Soul), erring or energy-veiling, e-veiling, eviling, occurs.


How does a human "know"? By state-specific awareness. E.g., a tennis player or a quantum physicist "knows" her metier by state-specific awareness.

Similarly, the Saint knows the Kingdom of God by soulfield awareness. Otherwise, God may gesture to us with a miracle transecting basic spacetime qualia, such as the Host of Light coalescing in thin air at Garabandal, Spain, and well-witnessed and photographed by sceptics and others. We then look at or look along with the miracle; for the former, e.g., Jesus Christ's walking on water is insufficient for Truth-knowing, as the scientist can't replicate it in his molecule-manipulating lab; for the latter, looking along with the Host of Light or with Jesus' walking on the water inspires, quickens, ignites, the Kingdom within, as it did with Saint Peter (for a time, until his Kantian outer waking consciousness got the upper hand).

So, the answer to knowing God (Plato's highest goal in Philosophy) is seeking the Kingdom within, attuning to the still, small voice or Living Word of God. This is done either through e.g. Saint Teresa of Avila's "Interior Castle" meditations and purifications, or by the Grace of looking along with the miracle's Presence.

Contemporary protocols promoting God-realization include Mark Prophet's "Climb the Highest Mountain," "The Path of Virtue," by Jonathan Murro, and "Light Is a Living Spirit," by O. M. Aivanhov.

Regardless of what valid and reliable protocol is practice, soul-realization of God facilitates a personal under-standing (Platonic "hypo-thesis") of God, in one or more aspects, in one or more degrees, in one or more levels.

"Watch Your Dreams," Ann Ree Colton, gives some of these levels, as she understood them.

Answer 6

If you mean "who is God" then that would be the Creator of the Universe.

Answer 7

God is the creator of all life.

Answer 8

And man created god in his own image.

Answer 9

it's what you believe in that there is something that created you and you're not just a mistake. many beliefs have different Gods and you can't let others tell you what to pick you have to decide on you're own.

Answer 10

A fairy tale like the Eastern Bunny.
