WHO IS GOD?

Do you Believe in GOD? Why? Why NOT? Why is there the word "GOD"? Who is HE for you? What is his relation to you? Is God just a socio-cultural concept? What makes him a God to you? Why do different CULTURES HAVE GOD in their list of WORDS even though there is diversity?

How should an intelligent man deal with the word GOD?

    Dec 5 2011: God is a title. Which God do I worship? Who is my God? The Creator. He is one. He is not a mysterious trinity. He has a personal name. He is love. He is a real being, not a concept. He is approachable. He is abundant in loving kindness. He gives wisdom and discernment to those asking for it. He is patient and kind. He is the Hearer of Prayer.

    He has given us two books to learn about him. One is creation, the other the holy scriptures.

    During the thousands of years of mankind's history, man's search for God has led down many pathways. The result has been the enormous diversity of religious expression found throughout - from the endless variety of Hinduism to the monotheism of Judaism, Islam, and Christendom and the Oriental philosophies of Shinto, Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism. In other vast regions, mankind has turned to animism, magic, spiritism, and shamanism. Has this search for God been successful? Can you see unity among religious people? Is there a group of people on the earth today who live in peace because they have found THE God, the Creator? Do they in turn try to share their knowledge with others worldwide? Are they working tirelessly to reach people of all nations with the good news of God's kingdom, like God's son did 2,000 years ago? Are they willing to die for their beliefs?

    Regardless of your religious background, it behoofs each one of us to search for the true God. Love is the identifying mark of every true Christian.

    Who is God.....a god can be anyone or anything........Who is the true God......that is a different question altogether.

    "We are all theologians. The question is whether what we know about God is true." J. Harris

          I do not want to limit the discussion. I am just here to learn.
