Can you define GOD?

It could be a little hard to me but lets try it. I think the same GOD you believe is the that someone from the other side of the world believe. The difference is not what him do, because all do the same thing. For example, for the that believe in Jesus, GOD is one and he have power over everybody and everything he will save your soul (he is the salvation) he is your last and first chance, he is unique and you should know of this. For older civilization like Egypt have just one difference... the same GOD from catolics is not one anymore, now is a plenty of GOD, each one have your own function and all of them save you. You just need to follow the way you believe is the right. What i'm trying to say is: The GOD i believe, you believe, he, she, they, everybody believe is the same. We just build our own faith, the way we need to follow to be accepted by them. And what about the religious books, what is the right one? No one. All of them have been wrote by men, not GODs. Based on their own faith.. you follow what you believe is the right. Regards from Brazil, Scorpionok. sry the bad english... xD

My definition of God is the universal consciousness, the energy being that created everything to feel and learn the truth behind its own existence. Through us and the other life forces created in this universe God develops a physical knowledge that it couldn't have in its energy state. We are divine entities of the God unit that are separated at our creation from the mass to learn and grow and upon our enlightenment of the divine truth and by developing a full understanding of our divine presence in the universe we will reach our goal of reuniting with the creator in our true energy state. Through our lessons that we lay out at our birth and the lessons we over come through or freedom of choice in this life and the others we lived, and will live not only do we gain knowledge by God shares in that knowledge. The names(and there are many)of God is not the important thing here but the truth of its vast being is what is our task to learn and grow into. That is a very quick and very direct concept of God but it is not the full truth that would take so much longer then I have right now and be so much more then anyone wishes to read I am sure. There is so much to learn and know about our divine existence that nobody can lay it all out right here and now. God is so much bigger then any of us can every full understand. The profound beauty and greatness of God dumbfounds me and makes me realize my own beauty in it grace.

I just call him the Creator of all things!

very good question gary, i think i had once explained abt the defenition of god in hinduism,let me explain it again in hindhu dharma there is only one god {seems in different forms} and this god is known as brahman or brahmom. and this brahmom can be explained by the help of upanishads as "the intrinsic,inherent, self guiding,the intrinsic,inherent, self guiding,conscious present from each and every atom to the universe itself, is the Brahman regards shivram

I usually say the Divine or Source. I will happily express my thoughts here. I would like to say what the God and Goddess are to me. They are parents, family, teachers, healers and protectors. They are strong and wise, as well as gentle and nurturing. They love me unconditionally. We want unconditional love. We don't give it. Does that make us hypocrites? No, it means we have values and ethics, we need those. But we do get unconditional love from the Lord and Lady. They don't have to think about things for 1 year or more before forgiving. They don't stop loving us because we do stupid things. When we are heartbroken, they are there. When we are jubilant, they are there. When we look beyond the mundane, they are there. When we share our hearts, they are there. When we get messages, they are there. They are with us in all that we see, say, think, and do. There are the things that most people take for granted. The first flower that blooms in my yard always touches my heart. Picking a dandelion and making a wish. Painting from the heart, or writing. The little moments where you stop to catch your breath. The quiet times. When that sudden creative idea just pops into your head and you know you will burst if you don't share it. A baby's first breath. Children laughing. How about the moments where you can look at an object, such as a flower and feel a part of it, the colors, the aroma, actually being the flower. Seeing things through the eyes of an animal. Feeling your whiskers twitch, chewing on a carrot or blade of grass. All the aromas you missed with your human senses. There are the times when you are surrounded by love and light, when you feel the Divine presence touch your face and the energies flow through your body and out about you. When a totem appears to you, when you are flooded with joy and the tears stream down you face. In the times of meditation where you are open to possibilities, to insight, to sharing what is in your heart. You may not immediately see it, but even in the darkest and most frightening moments, they are there. When everyone was yelling, let me pray for you because of the Bell's Palsy, I kept saying, no, it was a blessing. I needed to slow down. I needed to go to the doctor. I needed to be aware of what was going on with my body. No matter what we are doing, we need to keep that in mind, all of us, including me, and when someone is standing before us getting on our last nerve, that is when we need to remember the most. Somewhere within that annoying person, the Lord and Lady reside. It isn't that they aren't there, it is that we weren't looking. Yes, they are a part of my life each and every day. What I need to remember is that I am a reflection of them and when I act out, I’m not showing that the Divine resides within. I too am a teacher, a healer, a sister, family, a friend. In doing these things I am showing the Lord and Lady within me. Look beyond the mundane, let your spirit and that of the Divine shine through.

that is a tough one What is God? hmmmm I guess i would say that God is an unseen force that is greater than ourselves but radiates from within all of us. God is the essence of goodness represented by all mankind god is a reflection of ourselves not like a mirror but a reflection of the pure essence of our souls. stop me if its not making any sense LOL

God is the Father and creator of all of us, and the universe. Who is trying to force you to believe in their god or gods? From my undestanding of God, he doesn't force anyone to believe in him. If he won't, I can't see where anyone else has the right.

How about, that if, and only if, we presuppose two things 1) there is a god/God and 2)said God is a perfect being... Then, if those two qualifiers are true, it is perfectly accurate and safe to say that a perfect being is above and beyond any of us imperfect human beings abilities to characterize or define.

First off, no one should force anyone to believe in their God...it should be each persons personal decision. Just b/c I believe in God doesn't mean that anyone else has to. I can worship a teacup if it makes me feel good, that doesn't mean that I'm right and everyone else is wrong. I believe in God b/c that's how I was raised. I was taught to have faith in Him and as I grew up I found my own faith in Him. I believe in Heaven, Hell, God, the Devil, doing what's right and living by the Golden Rules. I believe we all make our own choices and although God loves us and has a plan for each of us He also gave us free will so we can choose what path to take. I don't believe He forces anyone to follow Him but rather gives them the choice to if they want...some do and some don't. [b]~~AT PEACE WITHIN~~ **STAND STRONG AND TRUST IN GOD**[/b]

Hi TheGreatWhiteBuffalo! This question seems so easy to answer but when I am about to answer it, I had a hard time really to define my God. I am a Christian and I see my God to be above all. He is my Father in Heaven, He is my friend and He also lives in my heart. I have searched the net to help me more in defining God. Here's some of the definitions and descriptions I got: http://www.allaboutphilosophy.org/who-is-god-faq.htm God is Life. He gives us promises in the Bible that were true centuries ago, are true today, and will be true tomorrow. He has promised us ‘life and life abundantly.’ So if His Word is true, He is Truth. God is Grace and Mercy, for He has forgiven us for our past mistakes and sins. He is longsuffering, wanting no one to perish. God is not a man, but we were made in His image, as in, we resemble His likeness. But man has the tendency to sin whereas God is without sin, pure, and blameless. He cannot look upon sin, so He is also Judge. God is the Creator of all of the universe and beyond. His divine plan has placed us in the exact place to support our life and that of our world. Take care and have a great day! lovelots..faith

hi great long time i was not in religious discussion, but cant help but to respond to yours .. god is your "Mother" and her "believes" Reason 1 : "Mother", she is the only person in the whole wide world, never thought of harm to you, she was there for you from the day you existed in the womb, she held you and feed you when you were hungry, she thought you the world and the good and the bad and the ugly world, she guided you all your life. she is "god" that you can touch, feel, love and say "thank you" to Reason 2 : "Believes" - her believe was entrusted to her "god" meaning the one she pray too, be it Jesus, Shiva, Allah - as she prayed to that "image" for the best of you for you ... i am sorry for the "unlucky" people who never saw god in their "mother" cheers

well..GOD is the creator is of the World...to know more about God read the holy chapters the creation starts at the first of the holy bible entitled Genesis..then you will now know who is God and What is God...

It is impossible to define God because nobody has seen God, nobody has spoken to God. It is just that people feel that this large universe needs a creator and we have named that creator as God. It is even difficult to say whether there is a God or not. However, there are occassions when we feel that there is some strange power guiding us and so, we label this power as God. I would define God as the undefinable, the unexplainable, the most mysterious.

There are lot of different religions which are different from each other. I think that all religions are good, because all religions say that there is something powerful above us. I am catholic and catholics belive that there is A God who will save our souls.

lemme try to define god using science... GOD may be defined as "a person who can travel with the velocity of light!"
