Describe God in 10 Words or Less

[MaddLlama]

So, is that 10 words or less for each individual Deity, or 10 words or less for all of them?

 

[jamaesi]

G-d is everything.

 

[Katzpur]

My Creator, my Father, my source of strength and comfort.

 

[MaddLlama]

For now, I can only think of one word that is all-encompassing: Imbas

 

[Sunstone]

God is a certain kind of experiencing.

 

[YmirGF]

Describe god in less than 10 words. So easy.

God = All That Is.

 

[Rolling_Stone]

Ah. Using that word must mean you believe in God?

I would answer that question differently than Dopp, but the answer depends on what you believe the term “God” means. If by God you mean some kind of supernatural being “out there,” the answer is “no.” If you mean a presence that can be experientially known, the answer is “yes.” If you mean a presence that can be conceptualized, the answer is, again “no.” Under the circumstances, I would be foolish to say “yes” and a liar if I were to say “no.”

I hear ya, RS and I'm right there with you....at least at this point in time.

limitless wonder...

 

[gnostic]

The Trinity? ............Do you mean the Bee Gees?

 

[Sahar]

The necessary first cause
The Uncreated Creator of all
Singularly sustaining everything without stop
The First and The Last, the eternally-existing
One and Nothing like Him, singular in His essence with no partner, Unique with no equivalent
No opposite has He
Absolute, Perfect
Transcendentally beyond time and space
Self-Sufficient
Not subjected to change or movement.
The Willer of all that exists, the Director of all that occurs
Living, Irresistible,Omnipotent, Omniscient
The Truth, The Most Merciful, The Loving, The Just, The Wise

God = All That Is.

And all that isn't?

 

[YmirGF]

And all that isn't?

All that Is includes absolutely everything and all probabilities.

 

[blackout]

The Trinity? ............Do you mean the Bee Gees?

Well you know what they say....
"Three's Company"

(or was that a crowd?.....)

 

[gnostic]

"Three's Company"

(or was that a crowd?.....)

It's the "crowd".

It's not so crowded any more, because one of them is dead. Now, I am waiting and hoping to see a resurrection.

.........I am still waiting.

.........I am still waiting.

Which one?! Barry?

Actually, I would agree with all of that. I think your "experientially known" but not "conceptualized" is functionally the same as my idea that giving the attribute of "existence," as though "God" where an object or thing, makes "God" a symbol for the effable (and an idol).

I owe you more frubals.

 

[Popeyesays]

I can do it in four words: "I have no idea."
