Most Christians believe in the Holy Trinity: God the Father, the Son (Jesus) and the holy spirit. They are three aspects of the same thing (think of ice, water and steam). It is really complicated but that it baisically it.\n\nIf you want a bit more detail: God is the creator and he came down to earth in the form of his son Jesus. He had to live his life completely like a man (be born, be tempted etc) so that he could die and take all our sins so we could be forgiven (if we aaccept him). The Holy spirit is the presence that we sometimes feel on earth nowadays.

"God" is a phenomenom that arises naturally in the minds of any group of people who get smart enough to even vaguely comprehend how complex the universe is.  If you lock a small child who has no knowledge of god in a dark cupboard, the child's mind will invent a "higher power" as a sort of defense mechanism.\n\nThis doesn't really prove or disprove the reality of "God" (with a big G), but is an interesting detail about humans minds.  It also accounts for the fact that throughout history people have developed various random theologies to account for what them see & feel, and to help them cope with oth the wonder & the death they see around them.

"Moon god"\n\n\n*Not the God as the Christians or Jews.\n\nThe God of Christianity is YaHWeH, a Triune God (Father, Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit) and only one where one from Godhead came to earth and made the way for forgiveness of sins through repentance and faith.

I agree with all the muslims above me who said & explained clearly the other 99 names of Allah\nBUT I would like to add that the word "Allah" is different from the word "god", simply because Allah has no gender or plural unlike god which can have things like goddes or stuff like this that`s why we use the word Allah\n\nIn fact "Allah" is the perfect word to describe the "One God" of monotheism.

God is my supporter, My Source, Love, and Life. God is the God and the Goddess and all the facets in between. God is you and me expressing to our fullest. God is All there is.

I understand that the thing that people have called "God" doesn't exist and it is really a small portion of something so great that it is all encompassing. Knowing that it is all encompassing I know that I cannot comprehend it and no word can describe it.  Therefore, any text about it is incorrect and makes it less than what it actually is.  What it is is just meant to be observed and appreciated but never spoken about.

saying that G-d has several names is a big difference between saying G-d has parts. \n\nin the strict sense of the word Christianity is not monotheistic.\n\n\noh and I am not Muslim

not sure but it seems like it's something good. can you clear your question about what u meant by "description about God" ?\n\nGod talks about christians many time in the Quran, those are two of them:\n\n".......and you will find the nearest in love to the believers (Muslims) those who say: "We are Christians." That is because amongst them are priests and monks, and they are not proud." Quran 5:82\n\n"[27] Then, We sent after them Our Messengers, and We sent 'Iesa (Jesus) - son of Maryam (Mary), and gave him the Injeel (Gospel). And We ordained in the hearts of those who followed him compassion and mercy. But the Monasticism which they invented for themselves, We did not prescribe for them, ......" Quran 57:27

unconditional, agape love would constitute God, yes.  however, in english we only have one word for love.  we use it to describe the relationship between too many things.  "i love fruit salad" is one example.  yes, fruit salad may be good, but  would you do anything for it?  die?  "greater love does not exist than this: one lays down his life for his friend."  we need to examine what we are calling "love".  1 corinthians 13 gives a complete definition of true love.  this list also can be used to define God and His characteristics.  therefore, yes i do agree, love is God, God is love.  for without God, can anyone truly love?

Divine grace is a Christian term for gifts granted to humanity by God, that God is under no need or obligation to grant. Most broadly, grace describes all of God's gifts to humankind, including our life, creation, and salvation, which God gives to us freely. More narrowly but more commonly, grace describes the means by which humans are saved from original sin and granted salvation.

Is Jesus Christ actually God?\n\nJohn 17:3, RS: “[Jesus prayed to his Father:] This is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God [“who alone art truly God,” NE], and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.” (Notice that Jesus referred not to himself but to his Father in heaven as “the only true God.”)\n\nJohn 20:17, RS: “Jesus said to her [Mary Magdalene], ‘Do not hold me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brethren and say to them, I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’” (So to the resurrected Jesus, the Father was God, just as the Father was God to Mary Magdalene. Interestingly, not once in Scripture do we find the Father addressing the Son as “my God.”)\n\nDoes John 1:1 prove that Jesus is God?\n\nJohn 1:1, RS: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God [also KJ, JB, Dy, Kx, NAB].” NE reads “what God was, the Word was.” Mo says “the Logos was divine.” AT and Sd tell us “the Word was divine.” The interlinear rendering of ED is “a god was the Word.” NW reads “the Word was a god”; NTIV uses the same wording.\n\nWhat is it that these translators are seeing in the Greek text that moves some of them to refrain from saying “the Word was God”? The definite article (the) appears before the first occurrence of the·os´ (God) but not before the second. The articular (when the article appears) construction of the noun points to an identity, a personality, whereas a singular anarthrous (without the article) predicate noun before the verb (as the sentence is constructed in Greek) points to a quality about someone. So the text is not saying that the Word (Jesus) was the same as the God with whom he was but, rather, that the Word was godlike, divine, a god. (See 1984 Reference edition of NW, p. 1579.)\n\nWhat did the apostle John mean when he wrote John 1:1? Did he mean that Jesus is himself God or perhaps that Jesus is one God with the Father? In the same chapter, verse 18, John wrote: “No one [“no man,” KJ, Dy] has ever seen God; the only Son [“the only-begotten god,” NW], who is in the bosom of the Father, he has made him known.” (RS) Had any human seen Jesus Christ, the Son? Of course! So, then, was John saying that Jesus was God? Obviously not. Toward the end of his Gospel, John summarized matters, saying: “These are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, [not God, but] the Son of God.”—John 20:31, RS.\n\nDoes Thomas’ exclamation at John 20:28 prove that Jesus is truly God?\n\nJohn 20:28 (RS) reads: “Thomas answered him, ‘My Lord and my God!’”\n\nThere is no objection to referring to Jesus as “God,” if this is what Thomas had in mind. Such would be in harmony with Jesus’ own quotation from the Psalms in which powerful men, judges, were addressed as “gods.” (John 10:34, 35, RS; Ps. 82:1-6) Of course, Christ occupies a position far higher than such men. Because of the uniqueness of his position in relation to Jehovah, at John 1:18 (NW) Jesus is referred to as “the only-begotten god.” (See also Ro, By.) Isaiah 9:6 (RS) also prophetically describes Jesus as “Mighty God,” but not as the Almighty God. All of this is in harmony with Jesus’ being described as “a god,” or “divine,” at John 1:1 (NW, AT).\n\nThe context helps us to draw the right conclusion from this. Shortly before Jesus’ death, Thomas had heard Jesus’ prayer in which he addressed his Father as “the only true God.” (John 17:3, RS) After Jesus’ resurrection Jesus had sent a message to his apostles, including Thomas, in which he had said: “I am ascending . . . to my God and your God.” (John 20:17, RS) After recording what Thomas said when he actually saw and touched the resurrected Christ, the apostle John stated: “These are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name.” (Jo

Agreed.  I don't think the biblical god is God, if there is a god.  I don't think god would be a spiteful, vengeful, mysterious god.  If there is a god (and I am open to the possibility), then it would be a nice god.

There is not an easy answer to this question.  As I understand it Arabic is is a relatively new language and Allah is  the term for God.  The ancient generic term for God  was El  and I would suspect that Allah is derived from El rather than Jah.  I believe that Yahweh is an exclusive Hebrew term.  (Jehovah is an English attempt at transliteration and Yahweh is a more refined attempt)\n\nYahweh was not used in common speech, and even in religious declarations was substituted by Adonai, hence the Biblical translation LORD.  Yahweh is the thrice holy God (implying that you can not get anything more holy) Even references to God that are direct are given remoteness so it is the voice of God that walked in the garden and the angel that spoke out of the bush to Moses.\n\nMoses was told that  the  forefather's were unaware of the holy  name, however, the text reckons that they were which could mean that the ancient oral traditions were revised as the scriptures were being compiled.\n\nEl, i understand, was actually a pagan deity but the term meant God rather I suppose in the same way as biro  means a ball point pen and hoover a vacuum cleaner.\n\nThe main problem is that we do not have a concept of a God with a personal name and are rather sketchy on holiness.  The best that we have been able to do is to give God a capital letter.\n\nThe Lord Jesus gave us the idea of a God that was personal to us, Hallowed Father.  The apostle develops it and declares we cry Abba, this is common in many languages, ba ba  Chinese, papa, English and other European languages.\n\nThere is only one recorded instance where the Lord did not address God as Father and that was on the cross where he used Eloi .  You see the name of God is holy, and he would not have uttered it in such a place of death and cursing, not until his work was complete and sin was paid for, then he presented his offering and said "Father into your hands I commit my spirit"\n\nJesus is the latinised form of Joshua or if you prefer  Yeshua which means Yah saves ( should it be Yahshua?) \n\nYahweh as well as holiness also carries with it a concept of salvation, of deliverance, of preservance.\n\nBoth Allah and  Yahweh carry the idea of hope and promise.  There can only be one God who is the one God and both names carry this concept.  In view of this reasoning both must be the same,  however, I don't think their theologies quite agree.  In the bible which has been corrupted according the the proponets of the Quran  Isaiah declares \n"As the rain and snow come down from the heavens\nand do not return without watering the earth,\nmaking it produce grain\ngiving seed for sowing and bread to eat,\nso it is with my words issuing from my mouth;\nit will not return to me empty\nwithout accomplishing my purpose\n and succeeding in the task for which I sent it"\n\nTo my mind that does not give much room for corruption nor for the new to usurp the old.\n\nThere again the Quran states something like has God acquired a son? And there are lots of curses on those who say so and then the idea of a whole pantheon is introduced of aunts and uncles and cousins and whatever and riduculed  for God is one and uniquily one.\n\nYet the psalmist declares 'You are my son.' he said to me\n'this day I became your father....'\n\nTherefore I would suggest that God is used unless out of deference Allah or another term is used whenever refering about God, and it is not necessary to use Yahweh or Jehovah.  \n\nWhen you are addressing God, and callling on his name, to seek his presence to make  petition then a tem of reverence is required
