well, humans are so arrogant, we not only create a myth about some god, some said that he looks like a human. give me a break. god is a tool created to explain unknown things like dead and life, it does not look like something

Well, I haven't met the God personally and none of my acquaintances and known have seen him to describe!\n\nHowever, I have been meeting and seeing his creations - living and non-living every day and getting an amazing, highly creative and friendly image of my God.\n\nI salute him for no match of his!!!

We cannot understand the nature of God he did not design our minds to be able to do so.His ways are not our ways.He surpasses all understanding.Yes I believe what you have said but I can not understand.

from my experiences, there is one god.  this god pervades everything that you experience and is within you also.  however, this god also pervades everything outside of our comprehension, and our feeble minds cannot comprehend the existence of this god.  even by attempting to describe God is a useless attempt because we are attempting to limit God to things that we know.  how you pay homage/honor/worship is on you though.  find whats right for you, there is no wrong way whether it be judaism, christianity, or islam.  the only wrong way is by not letting this God within you reveal him/her/itself by basing your beliefs off someone elses (the most intimate encounter one can have with God is through oneself).  Good luck to you

God is omnipresent. He is everywhere. You are thinking of God in human terms, and He is most definitely not human.

"God" A term designed by humanity to describe a postulated preternatural being usually complete with special divine powers.\n\nYou asked Who is the God? And you mentioned a few names, Jesus, Allah, Buddha and Mahadeva. (one of the faces of Shiva) Well, let's look at them.\n\nJesus is the proposed son of man. God the father, (Yahweh or Allah) made flesh and sent to Earth to free man from sin. The source of the teachings of Jesus and what he believed is exclusively found within the documents known as the gospels. If you are a Christian, then Jesus is your god, as is his father (Yahweh) and the holly spirit. \n\nAllah, or 'god' is the proposed being that created the world. This is the same god of Hebrew torah and the Christian old testament. If you are a Muslim, then this is your god. Then again, technically, if you are a Christian or Jew, this is still your god sicne the same name can be found is all three faiths. \n\n"Mahadeva" or more accurately Shiva, is "the Pure One" or the "One who purifies everyone by the utterance of His name." And is one of the primary gods of the Hinduism and the head god of the Śaivism, a branch of Hinduism. If you subscribe to the Hindu faith, then Shiva is your god.\n\nBuddha, the enlightened one, was once stopped on the road and asked by a man, "Sir, are you a god." The mans asked the Buddha when he saw how peaceful he appeared.  "No." Said the Buddha.  "Are you a demigod then?" asked the man. "No." replied Buddha.  "Then are you great man?" asked the passerby. "No." replied the Buddha again. "Then what are you sir." The man final asked. "I am the one who is awake." Replied Buddha as we went on his way.  Buddha is not a god. He is not thought of as a god and he did not think of himself as a god. Buddha was a man that sought and found the truth and was awakened form the dream of life & death. He was a great teacher, but he was not a god, a profit or a savior, for according to Buddhism, no one can be saved by anyone except themselves. \n\nSo, who is god?  That's not something anyone can tell you. You need to look and find out for yourself. Who do I think god is? I don't. I think god is a man made myth used to scare people into doing what churches want them too.  This is why the history of god based religions is so bloody. Still, if the belief in a god helps a person feel better, then perhaps it is not a total waste. \n\nI hope this helps.

That is the idea.\n\n" It cannot be described, and the most one can say is that It is absolute existence, absolute knowledge, and absolute bliss (sat-chi-ananda). \n\nIt is unborn, self-existent, all-pervading, and the essence of all things and beings in the universe. It is immeasurable, unapproachable, beyond conception, beyond birth, beyond reasoning, and beyond thought".\n\n God cannot be defined in terms of any specific manifestation, nor indeed in terms of their sum total. He is beyond all possibility of definition. \n\n"Though I manifest Myself in all things, I am identified with none of them".\n                                            -The Bhagavad Gita

If I am understanding you are wanting to know what God means to me. He is the one true God the God the Father of heaven and Earth. He was there before there was any thing. He means all my life to me, he has kelp me from death four times, healed me for sicknesses. He is the all mightily God my heavenly Father who will be and has been for even and all who follow him in all his ways will live with him through out all of time.

God, there is no god but He, the Living, the Everlasting; The Eternal, The Absolute. The One and Only. The knower of visible and invisible, Most beneficent, Most Merciful, The Sovereign, Source of Peace, The Protector, The Guardian, The Hearer, The Seer, The Creator, Provider, The Self-Sufficient, The Majestic, The High, The Great. \n\nHe is God, The First: Nothing is before Him, The Last: Nothing is After Him, The Most High: Nothing is Above Him, The Most Near: Nothing is beyond His Reach.  \n\n"Vision comprehendeth Him not, but He comprehendeth (all) vision. He is the Subtle, the Aware." (QURAN 6: 102) \n\nSuch Is God\n\n"God, there is no god but He, the Living, the Everlasting; slumber does not seize him nor does sleep; to Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth. Who is there that shall intercede with Him, except by His permission? He knows what is before them and what is after them, but they do not comprehend anything of His knowledge, except what He will. His Throne extends over the heavens and earth, and their guarding does not strain Him; and He is the High, the Great." (QURAN 2:255)\n\nGod, who is Perfect in every manner and aspect. He begets not, nor is He begotten. He is not Created nor Sustained. Yet He Creates and Sustains all that there is in existence. His Creation is not a part of Him. God is not now, nor was He ever in His Creation.  And there does not exist in His Creation anything like unto Him.  He is Unique,\n\nHe is God—the Creator, the Maker, and the Giver of Form. To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names. Everything in the heavens and Earth glorifies Him. He is the Almighty, the All-Wise. Quran 59: 24

Who is God?\nWho has been remembered as the Ocean of Love, the Intellect of the Wise, the Almighty Authority, the Comforter of Hearts, the Truth, The Living Being and the Blissful One?\nGod Says:\n I am the Ocean of Love; \nI show you the path of love. \nMy love remains unbroken and constant. \nI cannot forget even one of you. \nI have so much love for you,  \nand My love is unconditional and unlimited. \nI am the Beloved.You have been calling out to Me for a long time. \nWho Is God?\nWe are used to knowing things by seeing them, hearing them, tasting them, touching or smelling them. Most of us have grown up in a ‘seeing–is–believing’ and ‘hands on’ culture and we are used to perceiving things in that way. Because we can’t see, hear, taste, touch or smell God, the question arises – is God for real?\nOne can reach out to God with pure thoughts and be connected to Him. The soul experiences the response of pure feelings and spiritual strength. God is truth itself and thus can be recognized with the eye of truth.\nGod: The Supreme Soul\nLike us, God is also a soul. Unlike us, He is referred to as the Supreme Soul – the only soul who never takes a body (gross or subtle, human or angelic) of His own. He is beyond the effects of actions and is never subject to the dualities of birth and death, pleasure and pain, success and failure. Being beyond the limits of time of this physical world, He retains absolute knowledge of the universe and all its dimensions.\nWhere is God?\nGod lives, not everywhere but somewhere. A thought of God almost always takes the eyes upwards, as though one is perhaps expecting a face to miraculously appear from behind the clouds or to beam down from the moon. Thoughts are powerful. They link one soul to another. If they are properly channelled, thoughts can even go where only the soul can travel – beyond the moon and stars to a dimension of golden red light, the original home of all souls. Immersed in the experience of the warmth of this light, the soul feels as though it is truly at home at last, and with God.\nGod – The Spiritual Sun \nLike the physical sun, which gives light and life indiscriminately to all beings, God is the Spiritual Sun, giving light to all, whomever and wherever they may be. He serves altruistically, without any selfish motives, reminding each one of their innate qualities of love, peace and happiness. This is why He has been remembered in some countries and cultures by the name Shiva, The Benevolent One.\nGod’s Wisdom, Love and Power\nPeople may wonder why, if God exists, He doesn’t wave a magic wand and fix things, making or at least influencing everyone so that they do exactly what they ‘should’ do. But God never takes away anyone’s freedom of choice. God’s wisdom is to recognize and respect each soul’s individual identity, freedom and inherent goodness. God shares knowledge – a profound understanding of the dualities and dilemmas of love and hatred, happiness and sorrow, victory and defeat, etc. – but He does not make our choices for us. The soul is free to choose ‘to be or not to be’, ‘to love or not to love’. God’s love strengthens the soul’s will to free itself from the distresses caused by vices such as selfish desire, anger, fear, ego and attachment. God’s power helps the soul to recognize its highest potential and to aim for perfection by practising the art of simple living and high thinking. Such practice by a significant number of souls eventually brings about positive change in the whole of humanity.\nWhen you learn to tune your mind in meditation to the mind of God, then whatever the situation, you always have a source of help and strength to draw upon – an infinite reservoir of power and virtues that is only a thought away

I believe God is the sum totality of the multiverse and we are all just parts of God living our lives as the individual cells in our bodies do.\n\nI believe God connects everything and everyone and is internal and external.  I also believe to even ascribe human characteristics to God is kinda vain so I call God an it since I don't presume to understand if it is male/female/both/neither.

God. (cheating) This explanation is what everyone eventually resorts to when the other answers fail. Now, before I go any further, I should make clear that I'm not talking about any of the gods defined in various religions. Throughout all of human history, we've been trying to explain existence. But nobody has ever succeeded. And it's likely that nobody ever will. So we create the concept of God, whose only necessary property is being "that which explains existence." \n\nThis doesn't tell us much about god, though. It doesn't mean that any particular religion is correct. It merely defines god as something which answers The Question, because we have not been able to.
