A number of you were interested in this question.
What do we mean when we say “God”? Who is God?
Here are some possibilities:
1.
a. The Merciful,
b. The Source of Peace
c. The Protector
d. The King, The One with the complete Dominion
e. The Great Forgiver
2.
a. Defender against Evil
b. Fate, Destiny
c. Seasons, Law, Good Order, Peace
d. Beauty, Adornment, Dancing
3.
a. Master
b. Creator
c. Resurrection and Life
d. Judge of the Living and the Dead
The groups above are from different religious traditions. Maybe you guessed that already. Maybe not.
The links below show where I got these names of God from. A challenge: maybe seeing the names of the links, you’ll be able to tell which tradition each group (above) comes from. Maybe not. Maybe you can learn something about God from these names-for-God. Maybe you can’t.
Are these different faith traditions talking about the same divine spirit? About something completely different from each other?
