[QUOTE="O'Rothlain, post: 90273"] God: God, as I believe is the Abrahamic Diety of the Abrahamic Faiths (ie Judaism, Islam, Christianity). He (typically characterized as male but in no way limited to the bounds of the human sex) is omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient. I believe in one singular God (monotheism as apposed to a variety of gods polytheism) who has typically been represented through modern religious movements as a trinity (ie father son and holy spirit) because of the complexity of God's nature. Since we as humans often practice anthropomorphism, God has definetely been a victim, and whilst placing human characteristics on the devine creator of the universe may help in some ways to understand His complex nature, it also confines God into something He is not. God is unfalable, just, and merciful. God as creator has allowed his creation the freedom of choice, of will, and of purpose. I believe in a divine purpose centered through the Creator, but it is our option to follow this calling. When it comes to Jesus of Nazereth, I believe He is the Christ (or Messiah) of ancient Jewish prophecy. He is often called the Son of God, because he is an incarnation of God in human form. Again because of the complex nature of an everpresent divinity I believe that God can co-exist as both Christ and the Creator simultaneously. When it comes to the Holy Spirit (the thrid part of the "god-head" or "trinity), I believe that this a spirtual connection to God that can be obtained after acceptance of salvation through Jesus as the stand in sacrifice needed to redeem us from our sin (this is deeply tied into ancient jewish faith). This relationship can be seen as a level of spritual enlightenment. [SIZE=1]*Please note this is a sumation of my beliefs done first thing in the morning without the aid of caffeine that the good Lord so intended for the morning.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
