| | God - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Many Jews consider the messiah of Christianity (Jesus) to be a false god and some monotheists (notably fundamentalist Christians) hold that there is one triune God, and that all gods of other religions are actually demons in disguise (as in 2nd Corinthians 11 verse 14). | | | God is usually held to have the properties of holiness (separate from sin and incorruptible), justice (fair, right, and true in all His judgments), sovereignty (unthwartable in His will), omnipotence (all-powerful), omniscience (all-knowing), omni benevolence (all-loving), omnipresence (present everywhere at the same time), and immortality (eternal and everlasting). | | | However, while God is the Lord of Maya and she (ie, Maya) is always under His control, living beings (jīva, in the sense of humans) are the servants of Maya (in the form of ignorance). |

| | Western Concepts of God [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] |
| | The Neo-Platonic God of Plotinus (204/5-270 A.D.) is the source of the universe, which is the inevitable overflow of divinity. | | | Because for Plotinus God cannot be reached intellectually, union with the divine is ecstatic and mystical. | | | God created the universe according to eternal patterns in his mind and it is an expression of his thought, however incomplete an expression the cosmos may be. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Nature and Attributes of God |
| | But God is infinitely perfect and is necessarily what He is. It is true that some attributes by which certain aspects of Divine perfection are described are hypothetlcal or relative, in the sense that they presuppose the contingent fact of creation: omnipresence, for example, presupposes the actual existence of spatial beings. | | | That God is omniscient or possesses the most perfect knowledge of all things, follows from His infinite perfection. | | | Reason, as we have seen, teaches that God is one simple and infinitely perfect spiritual substance or nature. |

| | They generally regard their own beliefs about their God to be accurate, and the beliefs of other religions to be partly or completely false. | | | The theistic God was also presumed to be the explanation for that which was beyond rational understanding, a being capable of miraculous power who therefore needed to be supplicated, praised, obeyed and pleased. | | | They see the Gods of other religions as false; those Gods were created by humans. |

| | The Interview With God |
| | To have faith in God is to trust Him, to have confidence in Him, and to be willing to act on your belief in Him. | | | Because God often answers prayers through the Holy Ghost, it is important to learn to recognize the inspired feelings and thoughts that can come to you during or after a prayer. | | | Faith in God is more than a theoretical belief in Him. |

| | Of all the lessons that I present concerning the existence of God and of all the material that I try to make available to people to learn about God's existence, the present lesson, "Why I Left Atheism," is the lesson in the series that I frankly do not like to present. | | | Since I was an atheist for many years and came to believe in God through my studies in science, it frustrated me to see students and parents who viewed faith and science as enemies.... | | | The purpose of the program is to provide thinking, seeking people with scientific evidence that God does exist and that the Bible is His Word. |

| | Design Arguments for the Existence of God [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] |
| | Indeed, to the extent that we are antecedently justified in believing that God exists, it is obviously more reasonable to believe that God deliberately structured the universe to have the fine-tuned properties than it is to believe that somehow this occurred by chance. | | | But since it is the very existence of such a being that is at issue in the debates about God's existence, design arguments appear unable to stand by themselves as arguments for God's existence. | | | What proponents of design arguments for God's existence, however, have not noticed is that each one of these indubitably legitimate uses occurs in a context in which we are already justified in thinking that intelligent beings with the right motivations and abilities exist. |

| | The original version of "God Bless America" was written by Irving Berlin (1888-1989) during the summer of 1918 at Camp Upton, located in Yaphank, Long Island, for his Ziegfeld-style revue, Yip, Yip, Yaphank. | | | He recalled his "God Bless America" from twenty years earlier and made some alterations to reflect the different state of the world. | | | However, Berlin decided that the solemn tone of "God Bless America" was somewhat out of keeping with the more comedic elements of the show and the song was laid aside. |
