Define "God"

1 Corinthians 5:11-13 <- is the definition of being a friend of the world.
Do you have scriptural proof of that?
I think even the world wants peace. Do you agree? How is an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler being friendly?

By the way, which am I? Am I "immoral" because I dedicated myself to God, discovered that God cannot be found in your organization and I left?

Friend: a person whom one knows and with whom one has a bond of mutual affection, typically exclusive of sexual or family relations.

@URAVIP2ME How is sinning being friendly? You say that being the world's friend means to sin against it. How does that work?

I used to be a friend of the organization of Jehovah's Witnesses until I found out that I did not know those who make up it.

Interesting:
The oldest Hebrew manuscripts present God's name in the form of four consonants, commonly called the Tetragrammaton (from Greek te·tra-, meaning “four,” and gramʹma,“letter”). These four letters (written from right to left) are יהוה and may be transliterated into English as YHWH (or, JHVH). It's correct pronunciation has been lost, perhapsbecause of scribal fear of Gentiles learning the divine name. So, today it is pronounced variously as Yahweh or Jehovah. It appears over 6000 times in the Hebrew manuscripts and literally translated means "He who Causes to Become".
If you think about it, His name is a veritable guarantee that His purpose will never be defeated. So, when Psalm 37:11 notes that the "Meek shall inherit the earth", we may look forward to that time with certainty.
The scribes fear was ill-founded. What harm could they do to YHWH?

It reflect on the miserly nature of the Jewish scribes/clergy of that time.
