[ Who is God?.. ]
Excellent discussion.. and question...
With a plethora of "Gods" on this planet.. the question invites a good dialog.. In my studies there are psuedo-gods, demi-gods, poly godlike mental constructs.. Then there is the Judeo christian God.. As I can determine this God stands alone.. "WHo is God", invites an interesting display of constructs.. Even atheists make themselves Gods by determining there is no God.. a relatively Hindu approach..

Interesting post, hosepipe.
Care to describe a "poly godlike mental construct"?

Thank you so much for sharing your insights and testimony, dear brother in Christ!

Indeed, God is not a hypothesis nor a wishful thought nor a material thing.
God [is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth. - John 4:24
He lives.
And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. - Exodus 3:14 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. - John 8:58
I know Him and have known Him personally for about a half century.
But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. - Romans 8:9
To God be the glory!

hosepipe,
As a Christian I can tell you that there is not a plethora of “gods” on this planet. And if you know that His name is Yahweh, you know that He is the only one.
