The word "god" is more or less an adjective.

Means "authority". If someone(s) is a "god" they have authority over something/someone.

So out of the two choices, it would be closer to the noun. It describes the noun.

Maybe not specifically an "adjective", as it's not used as in "It's real "cold" ice tea".

But again, the when the word "god" is used, whom ever, whatever is being referred to as a "god" has authority over someone(s) or something.

I know many people who say that G-d is love and I think that love is most applicable when it is in action

"God is love" is a descriptive saying describing "God".

"God" can be used as a proper noun as well, since in the english version of the scriptures it does not contain Jesus' father's name.

Only refers to him as Jesus' father, or just that "God".

Now of course I don't know what other people would consider "god" from the other beliefs and what not.

What about forgiveness, many people know G-d for forgiveness, that is an action word. I am sorry, but I am not grasping the concept of authority (noun).

One would need forgiveness of their sins/trespasses.

Authority, as in has control over.

A fool is one whom thinks they have complete control over their own life.

Do you know what the differnence is between the two? Or you are just making conversation.

Do you hear people say "I godded me a fish" or "god off, already, I want to sleep".

Or do you hear people say "I pray to God", or "God, please help me."

This should give you a pretty good idea, as well as a primer in English grammar.

This thread should be presented to all school boards in America, with a note, "Dear sirs and madames, you achieved your ultimate goal, now the nations students get out of school dumber than a kite in a Jewish bazaar. Well done, people are more stupid and ignorant after they graduate from university than how they got in, this is great, let's all have a raise in salary"

This... this really angers me. "God is a verb or a noun". this is what I can't stand about Americans, they don't know dumbassshiitt from their own holes, their entire cranium is filled with it, and they want to appear smart.

This goes word-for-word also to those who say "god" is an adjective.

You people should be ashamed of yourselves and of your country, your leaders, who allowed and promoted this disaster of inability to think by you guys, and to allow it it to proliferate and happen to the nation.

This discussion is on the WORD "god". Not specifically God the being or anything of that nature. It was in trying to find what people see God as.

Heck, money could be someone's God. Thus why we are also "gods" in how the word is defined. The word "god" isn't specifically seclusive to an entity being worshiped.

From the Webster dictionary.

1
capitalized : the supreme or ultimate reality: as
a : the Being perfect in power, wisdom, and goodness who is worshipped as creator and ruler of the universe
b Christian Science : the incorporeal divine Principle ruling over all as eternal Spirit : infinite Mind
2
: a being or object believed to have more than natural attributes and powers and to require human worship; specifically : one controlling a particular aspect or part of reality
3
: a person or thing of supreme value
4
: a powerful ruler

I think of god as a noun, anything he does or does not do I think are the verbs, like anyone, if you asked them to use three words to describe you, if they said forgiving, loving, giving.....artistic...those are not the nouns, the person still is.

This absolute and horrifying ignorance matters to me a great deal.

It gives me great pains psychologically.

I mean, the inability to tell a noun from a verb is beyond basic. It's like telling a minus sign from a plus sign.

Just watch, in about twenty years people in America won't know the difference between 54 and 83, they won't know the difference between ? and !, if we don't stand up and unite to stamp out this ignorance of the people reaching now Biblical proportions.

I have been reading Foucet (sp?), of course you know a person, place, thing as a noun, but you KNOW a person from their actions, places/things by how you feeling about them. Or am I splitting hairs.

That's what I was saying earlier. Regardless though actions are verbs, to KNOW a person from their actions...doesn't necessarily make that person an action word, it makes them exciting but doesn't re-define their physical essence.

How do you define G-d's physical essence?

I'm going to guess this is not the answer you were looking for but G-d is a noun, you can work this out in several ways. Firstly, only nouns are capitalised in English; secondly, you cannot "G-d" something, so it cannot be a verb.

G-d is a bad translation.. should be Elohim.. Elohim means many different things but is usually plural as a noun in a Title and a verb as a function (ie judge)but i am not the best in English verbs and nouns..

so it can be both but (Elohim) is of Yahweh's family under his direction.. when Elohim is spoken of in any sence its speaking of the power/authority given by Yahweh and its the same as coming from him.

G-d what does it mean? Scriptures say thier are many of them and they are not Holy.. do not have his authority. so G-d is nothing to me.. Thats my opinion at least.
