The Names Of God
A number of traditions have lists of many names of God, many of which enumerate the various qualities of a Supreme Being. The English word “God” (and its equivalent in other languages) is used by multiple religions as a noun or name to refer to different deities, or specifically to the Supreme Being, as denoted in English by the capitalized and uncapitalized terms “god” and “God“.
The nature of a holy name can be described as either personal or attributive. In many cultures it is often difficult to distinguish between God’s personal and the attributive names, the two divisions necessarily shading into each other.
You are in search of God. You want to know God. You want to see the function of God. You want to know the address of God, but most importantly, you want to be with God. In this category, you will find hundreds of articles about God from world-known religious traditions.
