What is God?  Grey-haired man in the clouds? Our conscience? Love? What?

I don't think we can really truly know the answer to this in full.  God seems to make Him/Herself known to various people in various ways, perhaps based on those peoples' abilities to understand.  He has many attributes of a Father, and perhaps that is why he is often depicted as an older man in peoples' minds.  In a song I recently heard, based on St. Augustine's writings, God is described as "Beauty Ever Ancient, Beauty Ever New."  I think that is an interesting description.  Because God is ancient (perhaps why many think of him as an old grey-haired man), and yet he is always ever-new (perhaps why many think of God as a newborn baby, such as baby Jesus, and baby Krishna).  \n\nI think it is not wrong to describe God as a Consciousness, that is at least in some ways related to our own consciousnesses.  I think to describe Him as Love is also good.  \n\nI don't think any of these ways are wrong necessarily, but also, none of them are complete in themselves.

God is the source of true love. What we humans call love is actually lust, which is why it is so fragile.  God's love is invincible.

God! These are His characteristics but with Him Love is unfailing and is given to everyone. His wisdom exceeds all others and He has the ability to give it to others if he wishes. Truth, He is the only real Truth there is, He created all others

GOD is an acronym, which means, G-Generator, O-Organizer, D-Destructor(Destroys the evil, not the world and people). \nGod gets his name by his attributes and not by his form. Know something more about God:....too big, but perfect.\nWho 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

No one knows but God itself. We can only speculate. To procreate, to tend to the earth (which we are doing a horrible job at) to serve him only. They say he is a jealous god.

May be, we human and the rest of the universe including the empty space are god's experimentm or play ground ( like we build robats and god created different apecies interconnected to their survival), who knows, we are may be a god's machines with the intelegent inside us. You never know what god is upto now or was in the past. Do we know that god can change his mind? I know one thing and that is god changed his mind several times (changing relegious), i aslo know the reason why he changed his mind about the law of human relations to each other, its because of the circomstances human beings and its activities. And the obvoius question is why he created that circomstances? This question can be the most difficult to be answered by humans. Ask this from god, he may show you in your dreams. He is very god ( you cant compare his intelegence ability to any thing).

Look with-in and you shall find all that you need .It is said that man alone has with him the full knowledge and love of God . So if one found them selves alone and without any knowledge of the books of evil men who twist Gods love and distorts the truth how would you find him .\nLook only as far as your own soul and you will know your creators love .\nThe written words of man are to serve mans needs and not those of God .\nIt is insidious how the writings of man distort the true meaning of Gods Will for man and have lead him so far astray .\nBut I have been asked by God to tell you that you should only look in your own soul for him and there you will find him .

I don't know for certain but for me he/she/it is a force that created the universe and resides in us as part of us that shows through in profound moments of humanity, love, forgiveness, curiosity and hope like I said its how I view "God". I also believe no religion can know all the truths of God nor any individual live or dead.

God is in the details..\n\nHe fashioned your heart and you individually.\n\nPsalm 33:14-15 (NKJV)  \nFrom the place of His dwelling He looks\nOn all the inhabitants of the earth; \n15He fashions their hearts individually;\nHe considers all their works.\n\n\nHe knows how many hairs are on your head...\n \nLuke 12:7 (NKJV)  \nBut the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows. \n\nHe made you in your mothers womb...and before you were born, he determined how many days you would have on this earth.\n\nPsalm 139:13-16 (NKJV)  \nFor You formed my inward parts;\nYou covered me in my mother's womb. \n14I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;\nMarvelous are Your works,\nAnd that my soul knows very well. \n15My frame was not hidden from You,\nWhen I was made in secret,\nAnd skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. \n16Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.\nAnd in Your book they all were written,\nThe days fashioned for me,\nWhen as yet there were none of them.\n\nGod has named all the stars...\nPsalm 147:4 (NIV)  \n    He determines the number of the stars\n        and calls them each by name. \n\n\nHe directs people...\nProverbs 16:9 (NIV)  \n    In his heart a man plans his course,\n        but the Lord determines his steps.\n \nGod changes the seasons and our government....\nDaniel 2:21 (NIV)  \n    He changes times and seasons;\n        he sets up kings and deposes them.\n    He gives wisdom to the wise\n        and knowledge to the discerning. \n\nHe knows each man's heart...\n2 Chron. 6:30 (NIV)  \n    then hear from heaven, your dwelling place. Forgive, and deal with each man according to all he does, since you know his heart (for you alone know the hearts of men), \n\n\nPsalm 127:2 (NIV)  \n    In vain you rise early\n        and stay up late,\n    toiling for food to eat--\n        for he grants sleep to those he loves.\n \n\n\nGod is awesome!!

God is a figment of mans imagination, therefore he is whatever you think he is. Imagine he changes and he changes.

God.is God. It's our relationship that's important to him not a religion.

My belief is in the God of Abraham, the Christian God. Besides having the privilege of seeing and feeling the existence of God just in nature around me, it is nice to know that God has created all and has a hand in all. Just think. With Him it isn't necessary to have many cohorts, each with a different purpose--one for love, one for nature, etc. He has created all of us and all of nature and has created in us such a wonderful brain that he allows us to be, on a different level, creators as well. And I find that truly amazing. We don't always need all of the answers, but thank God, He's given us the means to create within ourselves.

The fact that we call Him God in the first place, we are placing ourselves in surrender of His Sovereignty, signifying His existence and His creation of us. Let us give Him his due respect and highest honour for His Love and Sacrifice for us.

Jesus was the God made Man... He is the Son of God, from all eternity he existed... and became a finite man regulated to the limitations of our human species... for a few short years to fulfill our redemption and open Paradise to all believers... and the Holy Ghost is the spiritual mindal binding unit that God the Father and God the Son share to become ONE... Don't try to use your human limited finite mind to understand a deep DIVINE MYSTERY OF DEITY... Do not put yourself up on the same level as GOD... Just admit that you are a finite man with a limited mind and let some mysteries lay until you gain Paradise to be able to understand them... it keeps you HUMBLE... I hope you know what that is... HUMILITY?  Deity-God is a mystery, not understantable by a human limited mind...

God is a firm connection between all of us.  We all have many things in common which connect us to each other.  What one of us will do has an impact on each other so we need to be thoughtful about how we live.  I think even if we don't see someone what we do can have a profound outcome either good or bad.

He is God, he always existed. This is difficult for man to understand because we are not infinite creatures. The finite can never understand the infinite.
