I have been reading back through the Old Testament to try to find how early man define God.  My bible calls God an “Eternal Infinite Sprit”. Starting with Genesis we find references to God as the “most high God”.  He is said to possess heaven and earth. It also says that if we believe in the Lord, it is counted for righteousness.  Moses thought God was the “Lord of War”  and that was because Moses gave God credit for his escape from Egypt. It is apparent even today with the troubles and quarrels around the world,  that some people think God is still the “Lord of War”’ Later on it is remarked that God is not a man and doesn’t lie.  Mankind has invented many gods with attributes that were made in man’s image or imagination.  Instead of that we are made in God’s image. Both, male and females. He created us in his image. Maybe not in physical flesh and blood bodies,  but we must have something about us soul wise that resembles our creator. Chronicles tells us that God is great and above all other Gods. That was to define God as the head being in the universe. Job was told that God was greater than man. Also that  God has to communicate to us by speaking to us in dreams and visions when we sleep.  It is said that God will open our ears and give us instructions in the dead of night. We don’t always remember our dreams but they are impressed on our subconscious.  Sometimes we can wake up in the morning and set a new course for our life. We may not have any idea that something was whispered to us in the middle of the night. It is said that God is great, a mighty God, strong , wise, full of light and doesn’t hate anybody . He is an equal opportunity divine being that is looking for souls that will obey Him. If we obey and serve God , he will grant us a measure of prosperity and hopefully years of pleasure. God is a spirit and man can’t really know much about Him and we can’t begin to know his age. Reminds me of the story of the elephant and the blind men.  One touched his long trunk and he thought that the elephant was like a snake like being. The other touched his huge his big ears and another touched his tail. They all had different ideas as what an elephant looked like from what they had learned. So many of us have been able to touch God but can only know a small part of His glory.  I think God is such radiant energy , that we mere mortals could not survive being in his presence .  My favorite description of God is that God is love personified.  Everyone that is capable of love is born of God  and God dwells in those who love one another.
