God (
A .
S .
and Dutch God ;
Dan .
Gud ;
Ger .
Gott ),
the name of the Divine Being .
It is the rendering (
1 )
of the Hebrew _ '
El_ ,
from a word meaning to be strong ; (
2 )
of _ '
Eloah_ ,
plural _ '
Elohim_ .
The singular form ,
_Eloah_ ,
is used only in poetry .
The plural form is more commonly used in all parts of the Bible ,
The Hebrew word Jehovah (
q .
v .),
the only other word generally employed to denote the Supreme Being ,
is uniformly rendered in the Authorized Version by "
LORD ,"
printed in small capitals .
The existence of God is taken for granted in the Bible .
There is nowhere any argument to prove it .
He who disbelieves this truth is spoken of as one devoid of understanding (
Ps .
14 :
1 ).
The arguments generally adduced by theologians in proof of the being of God are :
(
1 .)
The a priori argument ,
which is the testimony afforded by reason .
(
2 .)
The a posteriori argument ,
by which we proceed logically from the facts of experience to causes .
These arguments are ,
(
a )
The cosmological ,
by which it is proved that there must be a First Cause of all things ,
for every effect must have a cause .
(
b )
The teleological ,
or the argument from design .
We see everywhere the operations of an intelligent Cause in nature .
(
c )
The moral argument ,
called also the anthropological argument ,
based on the moral consciousness and the history of mankind ,
which exhibits a moral order and purpose which can only be explained on the supposition of the existence of God .
Conscience and human history testify that "
verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth ."
The attributes of God are set forth in order by Moses in Ex .
34 :
6 ,
7 . (
see also Deut .
6 :
4 ;
10 :
17 ;
Num .
16 :
22 ;
Ex .
15 :
11 ;
33 :
19 ;
Isa .
44 :
6 ;
Hab .
3 :
6 ;
Ps .
102 :
26 ;
Job 34 :
12 .)
They are also systematically classified in Rev .
5 :
12 and 7 :
12 .
God '
s attributes are spoken of by some as absolute ,
i .
e .,
such as belong to his essence as Jehovah ,
Jah ,
etc .;
and relative ,
i .
e .,
such as are ascribed to him with relation to his creatures .
Others distinguish them into communicable ,
i .
e .,
those which can be imparted in degree to his creatures :
goodness ,
holiness ,
wisdom ,
etc .;
and incommunicable ,
which cannot be so imparted :
independence ,
immutability ,
immensity ,
and eternity .
They are by some also divided into natural attributes ,
eternity ,
immensity ,
etc .;
and moral ,
holiness ,
goodness ,
etc .
GOD .
From the Saxon god ,
good .
The source of all good ;
the supreme being .
1 .
Every man is presumed to believe in God ,
and he who opposes a witness on the ground of his unbelief is bound to prove it .

By article 1 ,
of amendments to the Constitution of the United States ,
it is provided that "
Congress shall make no laws respecting an establishment of religion ,
or prohibiting the free exercise thereof ."
In the United States ,
therefore ,
every one is allowed to worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience .
