God is one indivisible!
He is the uncreated creator who sustains everything!
He begets not nor is begotten!
And no one is coequal or comparable to Him!

God needs no one to help Him in his Dominion! He is omnipotent and omniscient! He needs no heir or son to inherit him.

He has no partner, wife, consort etc.

If I get you right,

"God is A Man ?"





I ask because I see you use The Pronouns: "He", "Him" to describe "God" in your context.

God is not a man! He is whatever He called Himself!

He used those pronouns for Himself and that's what we use for Him!
Re: "What Is The TRUE Meaning Of GOD ?" by MaxInDHouse(m): 10:14am On Jun 26, 2023
The title "GOD" means "SUPREME BEING"

However some supernatural beings also want that title so they began doing wonderful things to entice ignorant humans that's how many Gods sufficed but there is just one GOD who is the Creator of all things!

God is a title just like Chief having heirachies
The Bible clearly states the One and only true God is the Father who is the God of Gods, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ. The Father is the Highest God who is above all. The Father is the Head God or Almighty

1 Corinthians 8:6 ...'But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; AND one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.'

John 17:1-3 ...'Father ... this is life eternal, that they might know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.'

1 Timothy 2:5 ...'For there is one God, AND one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.'

John 20:17
Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.

Ephesians 1:3 ...'Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.'

Ephesians 1:17 ...'That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him.'

Revelation 21:22-23 ...'And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty (Father) and the Lamb (Son) are the temple of it. And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.'

James 1:1 ...'James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ.'

2 Peter 1:2 ...'Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God (Father) and of Jesus our Lord.'

The head of Christ is God 1 Cor 11:3

If God is Not A Man; Then The Masculine Pronouns Used To Describe God Doesn't Fit.


Don't You Think So?







For Me; I See "God" As The "Ancient of Days" meaning "God" Is "TIME UNLIMITED"



"God" is "Life".

"God" is "Nature".





Finally; The Bible Puts it That "God" is "Love".




God is Spirit. Not Man.

And No Pronouns should be used to describe "God".

Re: "What Is The TRUE Meaning Of GOD ?" by AntiChristian: 10:27pm On Jun 26, 2023
Our God is unseen!
He's neither a spirit nor man!
He created all spirits, angels and man!

We only qualify Him as He qualified Himself! He used the pronouns "He" "We", "Us" and "I" for Himself and so we use them for him!

To Him belongs the most perfect description!

Our God is not the ancient of days!

He never called Himself by such baseless names! His existence is not dependent on days!

The title was stolen by rebellious spirit sons of God but since the first human couple joined in the rebellion the true God allowed Satan and other rebellious spirit creatures to have their way for thousands of years.
That's why the inhabitants of this earth arrived at many Gods but in reality there is just One God who is the Creator and father of all!
Re: "What Is The TRUE Meaning Of GOD ?" by MaxInDHouse(m): 3:16am On Jun 27, 2023
I believe you will need this:

Before Noah's generation there was nothing like kings people lived as families and each of the families take good care of their own house until powerful supernatural beings materialized bodies for themselves and came down to the earth only to have sex with female humans {Genesis 6:1-2} these aliens were cohorts with Satan (a rebellious spirit son of God)
Satan's target was to rule over the earth so by tricking other spirit sons of God to join him in the rebellion he was planning to take control of the earth.
The angels started committing fornication with young and most beautiful girls rendering hard working young men hopeless that's the beginning of domination on earth.
Children born out of that unnatural mating were notorious giants {Genesis 6:4} forcing people to do what was bad that's why God called Noah to build an Ark so that all those nephilims and disobedient people died along with everything on dry land, but the supernatural beings never died because their existence doesn't depend on natural things so they dropped off their material bodies and left the earth only to return when the waters subsided. That was how many spirit creatures became Gods to be worshiped by humans!

Let Me Agree with You That God isn't Spirit Nor Man Like Your First Paragraph Suggests.

However, What I'm still confused about is the Idea That You Still Utilize "Him" and "He" to describe "God" which renders All Your Statements To Still Indirectly Point Out That You Mean "God" Is A "Man".






I hope you get my point ?

Are these Rebellious Sons of God The Same Fallen Angels ?


If they are, Do You also mean that Satan is A Rebellious Son of God ?

In My Own Opinion, I Understand That The BIBLE, Qur'an and Other Religious Books Were Written By Humans Who Ascribed "God" As "He".

Most of These Writers are Men.

Hence;

They Ascribed The Masculine Gender To "God".




In My Opinion,

Man Created The Concept "God" to be able to explain Life As A MYSTERY.





It is Bias and Wrong To Refer To "God" as "HIM" or "HE" while Placing It Totally Wrong For "God" To Be Referred To As "She" or "Her".



God Is Not A Man.

God is LOVE.

God is Good.


And This is The Reason "LOVE Is GOOD".

There is a case to settle before God can justify the destruction of Satan, demons and rebellious humans.
Until that case is settled God can't justify the destruction of all evildoers!
