Who is God?
For those who do believe in the existence of God, our struggle is in answering the question: Who is God? Depending on one’s religion, the nature and identity of God varies. We also have different opinions, even among Christians, on what God is like, His nature and His character.
It is in the answer to these questions where disparity arises. Unfortunately, these differences in beliefs have caused hatred, violence and dissension amongst us for many generations.
How can we live in harmony? First we need to know we are all madly in love with the same God.
-Saint Thomas Aquinas
Then, there’s the question of Jesus. Who is Jesus? Is He the actual son of God, God himself, a prophet, a highly ascended spirit or just some person claiming He was more than just a man?
And, what about the Holy Spirit, is the Holy Spirit a third God?
When one asks what the dogma of the Holy Trinity is, the reply is: “It’s a mystery.”
The Holy One, Blessed be He, said to those, You want to know my name? I am called according to my actions.
When I judge the creatures, I am Elohim, and when I have mercy with My world, I am named YHWH.
Exodus Rabbah 3:6
