Is "God" a title?

[Theweirdtophat]

In the bible I felt I there were contradictions and feel like there was more than one god calling the shots. God is loving one moment and angry soon afterwards. Almost as if they were different people.

Maybe they were different people.

Maybe "God" is a title and Yahweh assumed the role of "God" like others have in the past but people think that God is one person when it might have been more than one god assuming the title, which would explain the contradictions and very different rules added in much later.

Maybe other beings, like Allah assumed the role of "God" but people thought it was the same person when it was actually different people. Why would the same person act so loving and then vengeful the next? Perhaps when one deity passed on the torch, the next person to assume the title of God became very different.

I always doubted that God was just one deity when i think it made more sense for it to be multiple people, hence the vastly different rules and contradictions that take place.

Peace be on you.
According to Quran, Allah in One, and has many noble attributes, with no weakness, and no associate of any kind. He is loving to those who lives pious life, and punishes those who oppresses innocents. Just simple denying Him does not attract His wrath in this life unless denier is vehemently oppresses people in land.

All suppositions. God is yet unknown. To know gods one must meet them. Gods are supposed to be living in heaven.

A title or a description? Depends on one's need at the moment. And that's what's so neat about Christianity, it's sooo darn flexible.

My confusion went away when I treated the word god as an adjective rather than a noun. What does the adjective describe? No one knows even though some try to figure it out. It's better than trying to define it by saying god is a noun. Then, how is god, well, god?

God is certainly a title, its just a name that is given to what we cannot understand, we have made a big story out of all this idea of something that is bigger than we are, and that is all it is...........ignorant and superstitious people, there is nothing else to add.

"For this is what Jehovah says,The Creator of the heavens, the true God,The One who formed the earth, its Maker who firmly established it,Who did not create it simply for nothing, but formed it to be inhabited: “I am Jehovah, and there is no one else. ( Isaiah 45:18)
"Listen, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah." (Deuteronomy 6:4)
Nuff said?

Not really, no.

Aside from the fact that God has went through numerous names and in many times, he acts totally different in the bible. Doing one thing, then changing the rules and behaving differently. How do we know this is one God, when it sounds like there's more than one who assumed the title of "God" There is more than one God, and Yahweh is one of them.

Do you have an example of how God behaved differently at different times? Surely, circumstances change and these changes may require a different response?
