I am giving you a Christian answer to your question. God is the Supreme being, Creator of heaven and earth, and our Father in heaven. |

All these discussions resolve into semantic games unless we first identify our purpose for asking or describing. That is, there are no absolute definitions of anything. There are only relations, and so both poles of every relation are, in fact, identified, or implied, before any message sent overlaps with any message received. So, in this case, what is the purpose of asking, What is God? With an answer to purpose, discussion is meaningless in regard to others, though it may help the writer work out his own ideas. |

God is all. There is an absolute definition for one thing, and that is 'all'. What is all? All is everything.One could ask "If God is everything, is everything God?"And I would say "If your pants is blue, is blue your pants?"Realizing God is the all is only the first step, after this the search begins. You need to have seen God first before you can search him. If you have no idea of God, how can you reach or find him?In life, you have two choices.Choice one: You believe in God.Choice two: You deny God or you just don't know.Choice one leads to certainty. If you believe in God, you already have one thing you can be 100% certain of. Choice two leads to uncertainty. If you don't believe in God, you will forever live in uncertainty.. each time God comes up you will either say you're not sure, or that you're almost sure he doesn't exist. In both cases doubt remains in the mind.Choice one leads to certainty.Choice two leads to doubt.In a world where you can never be sure of anything, nothing can be absolutely proven, and everything changes. And the main question all people on this planet have been thinking about, no matter where and when they lived, simple leads to two choices. A choice between certainty and doubt. |
