wat is god?


bushra21 God is the name given in the english language for the creator of this world, the creator of this universe, the creator of everything...of what we know, what we will find in the future, what may never come to know... God is the one who deserves my praise, deserves my thanks, deserves my appreciation, deserves everything I give and that which I do not and much more... God is neither a he nor a she, no heir, no mother, no father, God is one... God is the only one who deserves my fear yet respect, my undieing patriotism, my unwavering alliegance, my soul and my mind, my honesty and my strength... God is God, Allah, Dieu, Dios, Yahveh....
pinoy1 the supreme supernatural being conceived as the perfect and omnipotent and omniscient originator and ruler of the universe also comes in different flavors westside hey guys tell me wat is GOD in ur opinion???? ^ian^ He's just this dude. :D isabela
and what would those flavors be? :roll: zam Depends upon the way you write it, me thinks: GOD - is THE GOD God - is for Romans I know I will sound Greek, but its not really complicated. :shaking2: lulittao i found this article in the internet,
it just Waaaw. I like it veeery much, it is a nice and accurate difinition.
He is controlling the affairs of all the kingdoms. He commands and prohibits, creates and gives provision, and gives death and gives life. He raises and lowers people’s status, alternates night and day, gives days (good and not so good) to men by turns, and causes nations to rise and fall, so that one nation vanishes and another emerges. His command and decree are carried out throughout the heavens and on earth, above it and below it, in the oceans and in the air. He has knowledge of all things and knows the number of all things. He hears all voices, and does not mistake one for another; He hears them all, in all the different languages and with all their varied requests and pleas. No voice distracts Him from hearing another, He does not confuse their requests, and He never tires of hearing the pleas of those in need. He sees all that is visible, even the walk of a black ant across a solid rock in the darkest night.
The unseen is visible to Him, and secrets are known to Him Whosoever is in the heavens and on earth begs of Him (its needs from Him). Every day He has a matter to bring forth (such as giving honour to some, disgrace to some, life to some, death to some, etc.)! [The Quran 55:29 interpretation of the meaning]. He forgives sins, eases worries, relieves distress, helps the defeated person back on his feet, makes the poor rich, guides the one who is astray and confused, fulfils the needs of the desperate, feeds the hungry, clothes the naked, conceals faults, and calms fears. He raises the status of some and lowers the status of others. Even if all the inhabitants of heaven and earth, the first and the last of them, mankind and jinn alike, were to be as pious as the most pious among them, this would not increase His sovereignty in the slightest; if they all, the first and the last of them, mankind and jinn alike, were to be as rebellious as the most rebellious among them, this would not decrease His sovereignty in the slightest. If everything in heaven and on earth, the first and the last of them, mankind and jinn, living and dead, animate and inanimate, were to stand in one place and ask of Him, and He were to give them everything that they asked for, this would not decrease what He has by even an atom’s weight.
He is the First, before Whom there is nothing, and the Last, after Whom there is nothing. He is the Most deserving of being remembered, the Most deserving of being worshipped, the Most deserving of being thanked. He is the Most Compassionate of kings, the Most Generous of those who are asked. He is the King Who has no partner or associate, the One who has no rival, the Self-Sufficient Master, Who has no son, the Most High, and there is none like unto Him. Everything will perish save His face [Quran 28:88 interpretation of the meaning], and everything will vanish except His sovereignty. He will not be obeyed except by His permission, and He will not be disobeyed except with His knowledge. He is obeyed, so He shows His appreciation, and He is disobeyed, so he forgives. Every punishment on His part is justice, and every blessing from Him is a favour. He is the closest of witnesses and the nearest of protectors. He seizes people by their forelocks, records their deeds and decrees the appointed time for all things. Hearts conceal nothing from Him, for secrets are known to Him. His gift is a word and His punishment is a word: Verily, His Command, when He intends a thing, is only that He says to it, Be! and it is. [Quran, 36:82 interpretation of the meaning]. isabela God is LOVE valkyrie If god exists I have some complaints St.Lucifer "God or Brahman in the highest sense is , One: formless, infinite, and eternal. God is changeless and is the very source of consciousness. God is beyond time, space, and causation and yet permeates everything and every being. Being formless, God is beyond gender. Its the universe, in which god and unverse are the same. When God is thought of as this infinite principle, God is called Brahman. Brahman is the Absolute reality: it is pure existence and knowledge. Brahman does not exist; it is existence itself. It is not all-knowing; it is knowledge itself. "

asc_26 God is God. asc_26
God with a capital letter G - does exists. god - also exists..lots of them in greek mythology. :lol: :lol: ask me which kind of god you want to know or you need in your life. :wink: Chocoholic God is a child playing with a giant ant farm. God is the creation of man who would need something to believe in to give their life worth. bonitta God is the one who created everything and every1...its silly but I always had a question who created God then?Astaghfirullah...ofcourse noone.. Bleakus thats an awesome/clever question dude God is the creator, the most merciful, the most generous Chocoholic Which brings me back to my point that God is the creation of man. Many civilisations worshipped many Gods, the Greeks, the Romans, Egyptians etc. Until someone changed all that because the belief of 'one' God became the most popular theory awith more people turning to it. Eh, depends what you believe, I'm all for primordial soup, evolution and the big bang. Corcovado God is dead on this earth Bleakus ^^thats not cool dude Chocoholic I think Corcs is absolutely right.
noni God is open to interpretation freza Choco, say what??? Do you stick to one definition of God (if so, what is it? you're confusing or confused) or does it change for you like every other day? Bushra, wow! I really liked what you stated - very nice, surprising coming from you, but very nice. :wink: shafique
I believe in evolution too.
My favourite theory of creation though is that we were all created 2 minutes ago with ready-made memories. Can't disprove that theory!
God is who we all pray too when we have no where else to turn.
Cheers,

thanks, but why is that? im not all jokes all the time :D Chocoholic I'm just playing devils advocate Freza. As you will know my jury's still out on the existance of 'an almighty being'. Either prove to me that there is, or prove to me that there isn't. bushra21
Its easy to debate both sides. Example:
On one hand a religous, or simply someone who believes in God will tell you to look around you. If there was no creator how could all this be done, from the seemingly simple creations to the more complex?
On the other hand you may have an individual who has no belief in God, who would take the side of science and evolution...
Both debates, both examples make sense to the one who is giving them...maybe not to the other. mraph33 You think god is an atheist? bushra21
who are you asking? westside choco u need to have faith in some thing n i dont belive in the ig bang n evolution itz all bull frm an islamic point of view i could explain those thing 2 u if u want asc_26
God is not an atheist. Some men are.. :? :? Chocoholic
Nah I have a scientific mind, there's too much evidence now for people not to believe or even understand how the universe was created. To think that poof one day we all just 'arrived' is bananas! Even now, a new form of early man has just been discovered.
I believe in myself, fate, chance and destiny and the energies of the world around me and that's all I need. bear Allah = God = yaweh = zues = ra = baphomet The highest power. The universal Life Energy. The Life Force. The Great Spirit. The alpha and the omega. The Creator. or what ever name you impose based on your personal beliefs. thats what I believe anyway... freza
OK, if you're really playing devil's advocate, why don't you try playing devil's advocate in the other political discussions :wink:

Can you prove that gravity exists? Can you provide some gravity for me? The formula for making gravity? The proof that gravity exists is that we can see its effects , right? Gravity is a constant force , not something tangible, but something measurable.
God can be described as a force; humans add the emotional and spiritual dimension to this force, but the practial element of this mystery is not easy to ignore.

Just like it's impossible to think of human life being created without some form of conception, without parent cells, it's impossible to think that the ability for life on earth was created out of nothing and without rationale. Even simple celled self-dividing organisms had a beginning. Any form of life can not just pop out of nothingness and without a "parent" or creator. If indeed this were the case, then scientists should recreate such an incredible experiment and derive some form of life from a primordial soup. (and I'm not talking about cloning of course).
I find you very confusing on this subject. You're not sure about God (which is entirely your own prerogative of course), but you state that you think with a scientific mind, yet you believe in ghosts and spirits and you think that God has chosen certain people to inherit a piece of land... interesting, to say the least... jabbajabba The word itself 'God' suggests singularity and objectivity. I believe it's more the total sum of everything. Everything is God, you & me, the cat, the tree, the microbe and the planet and yes we are all creations of this force. The unforunate aspect of our existence is that it is becoming clearer by the day that we are currently doing a great job of screwing it up from our greed - as a result our time here is limited, this to me is the most important 'Message' - and this is largley due us trying to play at being god ourselves. So I most certainly have a belief in a life force that is infinite and is of such complexity the human brain can not fully comprehend the whole picture, it can only catch glimpses in awe - this to me is God for want of a better word. As for a God who acts as a judge and jury, has everyone follow a book as his word, inspires and calls people to war, holds dualistic notions and casts out non-believers to fiery pits of hell - this is no more then mans spin on the big deal. And my hope for mankind is that one day we will no longer have the worlds religions at the centre of the power hub, we may then start to take some responsibilties for our own lifes & behavior and perhaps make this world a decent place to exist for all life. Religion has been in the driving seat for the over the past 3 thousand years and on the whole balance I can't see what good it has done us. Yes there have been some saintly acts of selflessness by some individuals, but on the whole a lot of the destruction and suffering has been evident. I do not say this to offend anyone, these are my beliefs, and I am entitled to them as much as you are entitled to yours. Your mileage may of course vary. Chocoholic :roll: Freza, without gravity, you wouldn't be able to stay on the earth - just drop and apple to the ground - example of gravity! People can believe what ever they want, I just choose not to waste time in my life worrying about it. freza Well, duh! Do you really think that I don't know what gravity does?? Did you not get the point of why I brought up the gravity example? Obviously not... I'll over-simplify things for you next time.
This looks like a mickey mouse reply to something that you can not answer. So you doubt that God exists but you believe in ghosts who have visted you (cough) and you believe that God promised Jews the land of Israel...aha, alrighty then. Yeah, don't waste your time thinking of these contradictions. :lol: Chocoholic Well I can see, hear and interact with ghosts and spirits my dear, many people don't believe in them or deny they exist. So why can't I say the same about something I've never seen, heard or felt. Same, same. Nothing more to say on the matter. freza minnie mouse, no one is trying to convince you that God exists, but one of your many wacky contradictions is that you believe in spirits and ((hello)) spirits are connected to a spiritual being (in which ever twisted way the explanation might be). Atheists usually don't believe in an after or spiritual life. So what are ghosts then? (besides being a figment of your imagination/or a byproduct of something you smoked...) Aren't ghosts the spirits of the departed? And if you don't believe in God how on earth can you believe that Jews are "chosen" by God?? :?: :!: Chocoholic I have never said that I don't belive in God Freza, so please don't misinterpret that. I merely sit on the fence. And no, ghosts and spirits can be very different things. Some are/used to be human beings, others certainly were never of the human form or even of this plane of existance. I know these things exist because I have been around them in the past, and they certainly are not a figment of the imagination. But then if you choose not to belive in such things, then it's upto you. I do, because I have first hand experience of such things. Now I really have nothing more to add to what I've already said. freza choco: I just love how you answer my God/"Chosen People" question. Lovely. Not once did you evade it. 8) You and Ghosts = You weird. good times. Chocoholic I chose not to answer your question, as I feel it's irrelevent to this discussion. ANyway are people not allowed to change their views/opinions? Or do you hold them to every little thing they've ever said? I was merely pointing out a belief system, nothing more, nothing less, if you chose to read more into it, then that's upto you. I'm weird because I believe in something I can see, hear and touch - yeah right ok! At least I'm in touch enough with the world around me and it's energies to be able to do these things. Nuff said. freza With the whole Israel thing you were more than pointing out a belief system, but anyway, yeah of course you have a right to change your opinions and views. It would be refreshing actually if it were true...
OK Choco, prove that ghosts exists. Show some scientific evidence. Why don't you film one of the ghosts that you interact with?
I'm sure interacting with ghosts has made you a much better person...more noble and open-minded, more in tune with reality... :)
And yeah, I know what you will say: stick to the topic. So I'm leaving the subject. bye. Chocoholic I don't have to prove anything to you Freza, you can only experience these things for yourself, but I know many people who also experience these things. Can you prove to me that God exists? Where's the scientific evidence? Can you film God on camera? Can you tape the words of God? Well can you? Bleakus why are you dudes upset? ;) If you believe in something, believe it. If you dont believe it, then dont believe it. Both of you are trying to tell the other person what to believe and what not to believe. bushra21
i agree with him....freza stop nagging at chocs and chocs...stop asking freza questions....you should know better....both of you freza bleakus dude, you obviously did not read the thread because I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything. So, you're wrong about what you stated. Edit: and no, I'm not trying to engage anyone in a fight, I was just checking out glaring contradictions. bushra, don't mind if I don't take your advise. Choco, my gravity post answered your question. Re-read and let me know if you have additional questions. Chocoholic Who's getting upset? And I'm certainly not trying to make anyone believe anything, I've already said in my previous posts it up to each individual to believe whatever they want. I was merely throwing the same questions back at Freza that she asked me, because the same can apply in thi situation. She's just trying to engage me in a fight, but I'm not biting. Bleakus
lol, what i meant was that the way you guys were posting was kinda aggressive....i was just trying to calm you guys down before somebody says something wrong
thats my opinion anyways..;) Bleakus
i dont think anybody gets upset after they see your avatar ;) lol freza oh bleakus, this is just the way I talk, get used to it. :wink: Bleakus
its just sounded aggressive
sorry dude, i dont have to get used to anything ;)
