He has a lot of names. Allah, Jesus, Elohim, Yahweh, The Big Guy.
But who… is.. GOD!
Lot’s of different ways to look at that question. Here’s a way to look at it.
God is whatever you want or believe God is.
Sounds amazing? ridiculous? not true?
God has given us the power to believe. We get to choose what we believe. We get to choose what or who God is.
What God’s do we know? There are many different views of God. There’s contemporary views of God we are all aware of. There is the God of Islam, the God of the Book of Mormon. There’s humanism which puts humankind in the position of God. There’s the belief that God is nothing, which atheists believe. A super popular one today is the God of Science, complete with it’s priests (scientists) and doctrine, peer reviewed and published articles (not to mention the Science we get from the news which most often isn’t peer-reviewed or from scientists). There’s the God of politics with their religious leaders that is whomever they vote for. Your view of God will shape your interaction with God, your interaction with the world. It ends up being who you submit to. It’s who you look to for salvation. It’s where your knowledge comes from. It’s the prototype of how you are to act. Your own existence will be reflected in what you believe of God.
Now which is true? 0ur belief or view of God eventually runs against reality. Objective Truth.
God is the God of Israel. The God of the bible. You can choose to except or not.
That’s what I believe. In time the truth is revealed.
