Who is GOD?

This book is written so that we may know God. This is book is not intended to hurt any once feelings or has nothing to do with their believes. All that is written in this book are my feelings and thoughts. One day when I was travelling. I had a thought “ Who is God and how does he look “. So I am putting in my views and finding about God.

Let us first see what is the meaning of God according to our dictionary. It says that He is a Creator, ruler of the universe, source of all moral authority, the Supreme being, superhuman being or spirit worshipped as having power over nature or human fortunes.

According to the English Dictionary God meaning God      ɡɒd/    noun

1. (in Christianity and other monotheistic religions) the creator and ruler of the universe and source of all moral authority; the supreme being. 2. (in certain other religions) a superhuman being or spirit worshipped as having power over nature or human fortunes; a deity.

 A being conceived as the perfect, omnipotent, omniscient originator and ruler of the universe, the principal object of faith and worship in most of the religions.

Before we speak about God. Lets see some differences between man and God.

Let us see some differences between GOD Vs ManCreator :

God is a creator of all living things on the Earth and He created the universe. He will always create new things. Only God has power to give life and take life.

Man is created by God. Man is uses the things that are created by God. He cannot created living things. He cannot give life to anything. He can take away the life from living thing.

Power:

God is the most powerful and can do anything he want to. No one can estimate his power or His capabilities. Just a word from His mouth is enough to create all the living things. He can even end all the life’s by just a word.

Man uses power which is given by God. God has given some powers to man. This powers are used by man.

Perfect :

God is perfect in all the things He does. We cannot find faults in His works. We can only enjoy the things given by Him. God makes everything perfect in first Go.

Man is not perfect as he always try to copy things which are created by God. He does many mistakes to get one final product. He simply lies for very small things. Man tries many times to do one task perfectly.

Worshiped :

God is always worshiped and He is praised by many people and angles. His worship is not just to one Generation. In all Generations He is praised and worshiped.

Man is not worthy to be worshiped as the creator of Mankind should be worshiped.

Let go some deep into the topic :Who created God:

God is not created by man. But who created God, we actually don’t know this. This is a Mistry from ages. But we are sure that God created all mankind and all living things that exists.

We cannot create God. I saw lot of Idles which are created by man. They say that He is God. Let’s discuss on that so more. Who has seen that God so that they can carve that Image. If we see the current technology with 3D imaging. If a persons Image is made with 3D imaging in current world. We will not get the exact Image of that person but they say that they are some were close to 70 to 80%. Then who can a person 2000 years back can create a exact Image of God. When there is no technology, every image they have created are all manual works. How can they create an exact Image of a person they never saw. How can that Image which you see now is exact shape of God. How can you say that Image has power. We make Images only of the dead person. We will not make the Image of the living thing. If he dead how can he save you?.

Who and What Is God?

The Bible admonishes us to prove all things. Another Bible study in our series will include the proof of the existence of God, and this is primarily from creation. We look at radioactive materials, biogenesis, man’s mind coming from a superior mind, man’s living food, the timing of the universe, prophecy fulfilled, and miracles. Once a person proves the existence of God, he is then going to want to know how this God communicates with humans. Another Bible study will show you that the Bible is inspired by God, primarily looking at prophecies that already have been fulfilled. Next, what does the Bible say about God? What does God say about Himself in the Bible? Today let us see who and what God is.

A GOD FAMILY WITH TWO MEMBERS

We have already proven that the Bible is inspired by God, so that is where we need to go for information on God. Turn to John chapter 1 verses 1 to 3: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.” This can be a difficult verse to understand. The clearest understanding that I have ever seen was in a book called, Mystery of the Ages. 

As he read these verses, he substituted names. Substitute the word “John” for “the Word” and substitute the last name “Smith” for “God.” So what we have is: “In the beginning was John and John was with Smith and John was Smith.” This is true because John is the son of Smith. Smith is the family name, but there are two separate persons or personages. One is called the Word, which comes from the Greek word Logos, which means “spokesman.”

Let us read verse 14 of John chapter 1: “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.” So this Word became a Man. Verse 15: “John bore witness of Him and cried out, saying, ‘This was He of whom I said, “He who comes after me is preferred before me, for He was before me.”’” Verse 29: “The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, ‘Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! This is He of whom I said, “After me comes a Man who is preferred before me, for He was before me.”’” These same words referring to Jesus in verse 30 were used in verse 15 referring to the Word, all proving that the Word is Jesus Christ.

In the Old Testament the word for God is Elohim. According to Strong’s Concordance, this word refers to gods in a plural form. We will see more about that a little bit later.Elohim, this term for God, is a collective noun. It allows for a God family with two members, as we have talked about in John 1:1–the Word and God.

John chapter 1, verse 18: “No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.” So the Son, Jesus Christ, made the Father known, and no one knew about the Father before Christ revealed Him.

Turn to I Corinthians 8:6. “…yet for us there is only one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we live.” This only mentions God the Father and Jesus Christ. Notice it does not mention the Holy Spirit as a person; we will get to that later.

Read I Corinthians 10:1-4: “Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea, all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ.” This tells us that Christ was the God of the Old Testament. This is important because some people think that the laws of God the Father in the Old Testament were done away with by Jesus Christ in the New Testament. We just read, however, that the Rock that followed them in the Old Testament was Christ. Christ gave the Ten Commandments and then came later as a human; He did not come to do away with His own work.

The God of the Old Testament at times is considered to be harsh. This is untrue, but some people see Him that way while believing that Jesus Christ is the opposite, so loving and merciful. This is the same Being in the Old Testament and in the New Testament. God is and always has been a God of mercy, and we must never forget that.

John chapter 14:28 again describes a God family with two members. This is in Jesus Christ’s last instructions to His disciples before His death: “’You have heard Me say to you, “I am going away and coming back to you.” If you loved Me, you would rejoice because I said, “I am going to the Father,” for My Father is greater than I.’” Here again we see that Christ and the Father are two independent Beings, and that the Father is greater. Someone has to be the leader in any organized group, and in this case, it is the Father.

Turn back to John chapter 12, verses 49 to 50: “’For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak. And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I speak.’” The Father sent the Son and told Him what to say, again illustrating a position of leadership.

Turn to I John 2:22-23: “Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son. Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.” Part of the doctrine of the antichrist is denying the independent existence of the Father and the Son; one has to realize that they both exist.

Turn to the Gospel of John, chapter 10, verse 30: “’I and My Father are one.’” Christ is talking about being one spiritually. He clearly is not talking about being one entity like a trinity; John 17:11 tells us what this oneness really means: “’Now I am no longer
