Answer 2

From the birth we are fed with the idea of a super power called God. God is to be feared as a super Cop. and when we are in trouble God comes to our help. when we fall down or bump with others suddenly ,we excalim oh my God.

But when you say "God", I mean - all-that-is/everything/love which holds all together/created and creator/unity/divine.
A rather large desciption for the word "God" .This implies God is separate from every other form of creation on this earth.

But if God is separate from me, how i am alive.? God is all pervasive, then I am within God. So God is not separate from me . So God is Creation, Creativity and Creator all contained in one and one contained in all.

Answer 3

I wanted a definition of 'god' that also included just about every god that has ever been worshipped. Many of the definitions people use are exclusive and suggest out of hand that other things which have been called gods are just completely mis-labelled. Here's what I came up with:

A god is an entity. It is something that exists, acts, and can (at least in theory) be sensed and identified either directly or by its effects. A god has vast power compared to humans and is thus implicitly not currently human even if it once was.

A god is not necessarily supernatural in that complete knowledge and understanding of how a god functions would not void those functions. Nor is a god necessarily immortal; many are recorded as subject to metabolic processes, aging, and even birth and death.

This allows for comparatively weak gods, but also eliminates confusion. After all, if Zeus can't possibly be a god, does that mean a Zeus worshipper is an atheist?

Answer 4

God always existed even if it was named Ra , even if it's named Allah or Buddha . Of course ... the "existed" conception is as far as I'm concerned in humans mind ... because a human always needed to believe in something .. in order to have faith and to be optimisical, I'm guessing that if some one tells me ... " Dude i saw a guy who could drink a beer in 10 seconds ... i would tell another guy that dude i know a guy that could drink a beer in 8 seconds ... and so on ... The same thing happend with Jesus. The main ideea is that something .. might just be true but we dont really know it.

Answer 5

The whole Universe is infinite river of Cosmic Energy (Prakriti). Where energy is condensed, it becomes visible in the form of mass, as whirlpools are visible in a river. Energy can convert itself into gross form, which is called mass and vice versa. Mass is gross energy and energy is subtle mass. Prakriti’s cycle does create, sustain and absorb (to re-cycle and re-fresh) its creation.

But Cosmic Energy itself is not intelligent. Some Intelligent Principle behind the scene is controlling this Energy. The owner of Intelligent Universal Principle behind the process is known as Cosmic Consciousness (Bhram).

That's why Cosmic Consciousness is Immortal, Formless, Action-less, All-pervading (thus Immovable), Unchanging, Second-less, Indivisible, Infinite, Eternal and without Attributes. It is eternal existence, pure consciousness and bliss. Existence and consciousness is not It's qualities as space-ness is not the quality of space – space-ness is space itself. Existence and pure consciousness is one as fire and heat.
Cosmic Consciousness has manifested Itself in Its Energy, and from this perspective, Cosmic Consciousness is with attributes also. It’s like same electricity is getting manifested in various electrical equipments such as bulb, fan etc.

Nature depends upon Cosmic Consciousness, but inseparable from Cosmic Consciousness, the way a nail is inseparable from its finger and Sun-light from Sun.

Answer 6

I don't like the word "god" because it tends to bring forth images of a bearded guy in the sky... but when I think of "god" it is the ALL - everything, that is, you and me, the earth and stars, the sun and the moon, and every creature that grows, swims, crawls, walks, or flies. It is the source, and the awareness of the Universe.

Answer 7

I mean "a stream of tendency not ourselves, that makes for righteousness."

The language comes from the great Victorian poet and literary critic, etc., Matthew Arnold.

The qualification that the divine stream be "not ourselves" is important, because the worship of humanity itself just seems to me, as itseemed to Arnold, both pointless and hubristic.

The idea behind all worship worth having is the idea that we as humans (or at least the best elements within ourselves) have a powerful ally, a "stream of tendency" in the cosmos.

Answer 8

God is the Supreme Person, The Source an creator of everything. He has all wisdom, all wealth all beauty, all renunciation, all fame, all strength. God is a person and the light that emanates from is His shining effulgence. Unless one comes to the personal aspect of God their knowledge is incomplete. He made us in His image. (Two arms and hands, two legs, head face, etc.) Krishna is God. He says in the Vedas "I am the source of everything, everything emanates from me just as pearls are strung on a thread." Krishna is the original form of God His form is eternal, Transcendental and not made from any material elements as our mortal body is. We are also eternal and part and parcel of Him. We have all of the qualities of God but not in the Same quantity, Like a drop of water in the ocean has all the qualities of the Ocean but never becomes the Great ocean. We can not have any qulaity that God doesn't have. But His quality is always pure and ours becomes perverted when it comes in contact with material nature. God is one with Many names (Krishna, Allah, Jehovah, Vishnu, Rama, etc. World Peace.

Answer 9

I mean, God--- Creator of mankind and all living things, omniscient, omnipresent triune God-- Father, Son, and Holy Ghost... God... giver of life and all good things. Father to Jesus Christ, Saviour of the world. Healer of broken bodies and broken hearts.
yes, I have a HUGE definition of God... My God is BIG!

Answer 10

The existence of everything in the Universe & beyond is God.

Answer 11

The world is essentially dependent on God, and this dependence implies (1) that God is the Creator of the world -- the producer of its whole substance; and (2) that its continuance in being at every moment is due to His sustaining power.
