Meanings of “God” in some scriptures
#9
RE: Meanings of “God” in some scriptures
What rob said.  Words need to have a generally agreed-upon meaning or communication becomes impossible.  Suppose that instead of saying, 'I put on my best suit, got in my car and drove to the interview', I told you, 'I put on my best Thursday, got in my Germany and coffee cup to the delightful', you'd have no idea what I was going on about.

Similarly, if you use the word 'God' to mean something other than, 'The supranatural being who created and sustains the physical universe as a home for human beings', you're left with the choices of either people looking at you as if you're some new species of wombat or getting bogged down in explaining your new definitions and never getting round to the point.

That being said, you seem like a very nice person. Smile
