"Another Non-sense Question?"

The god of the bible is said to be very powerful and has three entities in it.

A being so powerful and can do anything, but "what is gods name?"

"Its hard to believe that this god has no name.....

God is not a person. It is you me everybody, everything.

You are God.

Giving your power away to an imaginary man in the sky is perhaps the worst thing you can do to yourself.

A being so powerful and can do anything, but "what is gods name?" Whether you believe in the G-d of the Bible or not, the name of G-d is given in the Bible.

"Its hard to believe that this god has no name..... - See the above.

Rabbio, out of curiosity- mine, and speaking within the context of your own personal faith, what is the position taken when you strike something like Gen 1:26 And G-d said, "Let Us make man in Our image,after Our likeness; .....

To me God, is the ultimate creator, he is created everything even us and also sustains everything. I also think we shouldn't consider ourselves to be Gods, that type of thinking to me is blasphemous...that means we are putting ourselves higher than the beings of light in heaven - the pure beings.

But also we need to remember that we all entitled to our OWN beliefs, James. Just because one person doesn't believe, doesn't mean you can't.

But names of God varies, if you are looking for Judo-Christian name it can be Yahweh, Jahovah, Yeshuah. Muslims call him Allah. Hindus Brahma. Use what ever you feel comfortable with. :) I call him God or the Creator, or Father.

Then Moses said to God, “If I come to the people of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ what shall I say to them?” God said to Moses, “I am who I am.” And he said, “Say this to the people of Israel, ‘I am has sent me to you.’"
Exodus 3:13,14 ESV


The name "I am" is a translation of the Hebrew Yahweh. Some people use the word Jehovah instead.

Actually, it's not, but nice try.

(And for what it is worth, "I am who I am" is probably not the best translation in any event.)

So anyway,,, Rabs, I'm left to assume it's a case of 'unsee that' and move quickly to the next verse. Thanks for sharing.
