God is the Intelligence, the Force and the Substance of the created Universe. God is Everything and there is nothing that God is not. God is both the creator and the created. The Universe is pervaded by God's Intelligence. It is made to live and move by His Power in the form of Forces. It is composed of Her exhaustless supply of Substance. God is not a being but a process called Life.

God is many things to many people. All descriptions are correct, according to the Knowledge and understanding of the individual. God will remain many things to many people as we change and grow.
God is spirit. The same spirit within the human being is a spark of the spirit of all. In this we see the world as an energetic phenomena. Nothing is static. The spirit that flows through all, is the same spirit from God.
The only limitations are those we place upon our conceptions.
Hindus concept of god is complete in every respect aymbolic representation of that is ARDHNAREESHWARA means half male and half female bodies joins togather to make complete.Chinease too believe in yin and yang energy which is again female and male.
Moment thease male and female energies unite togather and becomes one in inseparable form it gates the sanctity of god.may it be shiva-parbati,luxmi-visnu ,jesus-merry, radha-krishna,seeta-ram or many alike.This is my personal perception and inter pretation i may be wrong.

I think this is a relative question depending on how things are going in our lives. If everything is fine well then God is Great and probably a Man or woman depending on who you are talking to. Naturally he is of the opposite sex if things are awful !

Emma Kirk, the music teacher in the play Death of a Nightingale, believes that God is a woman. Read her reasons in Act One Scene 4 which you can download on death of a nightingale Also read pages 11-13 of the Prologue. See God and faith through the prism of music. They have been travelling companions since the dawn of civilisation.

The true light that emerges from the heavens has not a gender it is but light. So bright that we cant look directly upon it. God is like that light he is beyond form, he is namless and beyond our comprhension. When we associate the word God or any word that represents the great spirit of life. We as mankind tend to catagorize names with objects, therefor we give it man like characteristics.Be knowing that he is greater then all thoghts ever thought of. For he is the creater of thought.

__________________ God is all there is. When we use the word God, we mean the Cause, the invisible Intelligence, the Divinity, that omnipresent Knowingness; Spirit, Life, Truth, Reality—that is what we mean by God. And when we say that God is everywhere, we mean that God is in us, in each other, in this flower, in the interspaces of the universe. There is nothing but God.(p. 111.3) Ernest Holmes in Living the Science of Mind (1984)
Emma Kirk is a music teacher in my play. She believes that God is a woman. This is what I believe. You will find it in the Prologue of death of a nightingale.
A number of years ago I heard the following proposition which I endorse here. If there is one God, it shouldn't be outrageous to suggest that for the billions of people on this planet there are many paths to him or to her, just different routes up the same mountain, and that each one is equally valid and each one blessed. The Matterhorn above Zermatt in Switzerland looks quite unlike Monte Cervino in Italy, but it is the same mountain.
The strength of individual belief underpins the validity of one - it does not undermine the validity of another. It also underpins its integrity. No single way is exclusive, although Judaism, Christianity and Islam all find words to suggest that theirs is. If they have that belief, isn't it time for them to shed it? A compassionate God – or Allah the All-Merciful - in his wisdom must be allowed some continuing discretion as to whom he admits into his divine presence - now mustn't he?
I cannot believe that God has favourites among his children. There has been and still is too much suffering caused by those who have believed this. We are dealing here with the Infinite. There is no edge to the universe. The concept of God should reflect that. I am happy to echo here sentiments that others, much more learned than me, have expressed, most recently Chief Rabbi Sir Jonathan Sacks in his book, The Dignity of Difference21
God is not One but, if n stands for infinity, One to the power of n. That is a thought to unite all those who believe in a supreme deity. In the name of humanity they should rejoice in sharing it. The Alexandria Declaration22of the three Faiths was a real start. It needs to continue.
Monotheism stems from tribes in the desert that couldn't live in harmony then any more than they would appear to be able to do so today. The Holy Land is an unholy mess. Jerusalem is not a city of peace. But those tribes produced Holy texts, the Torah, the Bible and the Koran. Beautiful documents. There is an exhibition of them in the British Library as I write. Incredible wisdom in their day, but both contain militant passages right for their day, but out of synch in our global world. They were written when the sun went round the earth, not the other way round, and when bullocks and goats were sacrificed upon an altar. They predate Copernicus, never mind the Hubble telescope and all the scientific discoveries of our times. Furthermore there are some things we are not given to know for sure or at all, and so many things scientists do not know even now23.
So give Holy texts the respect they deserve, but not now an unquestioning literal obedience if that denies to God's presence compassion, and if it denies to people of other faiths or no faith at all their common humanity. We will need all the help Holy texts can give us if we are to contain HIV Aids and confront the effects of climate change on our psyche, never mind on our landscape and on our financial resources.
