    We can find the answer of Sir Abdu is filled with much wisdom and spiritually rational which is real to its application in life because it is only the Bible that speaks of the truth that is foundational in life and applicable to all ages as it is eternal that gives light in the darkness of the world and gives answers to many life's confusion. It is not based in reason and intellect of the human mind, it is the wisdom of the Spirit of God so that his answers are flawless and understandable to the intellect and the simple.

    The Bible says that the one true God is the sovereign, self-existent Creator of the universe (Isaiah 42:5; Ephesians 1:11). He is spirit (John 4:24), He is eternal (Psalm 90:2), and He is personal (Deuteronomy 34:10). The one true God possesses all knowledge (Isaiah 46:10) and all power (Matthew 19:26), is present in all places (Psalm 139:7-10), and is unchanging (James 1:17).He is your Holy Father and the battle is His!

    Romans 1:21-25
    21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.
    24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator-who is forever praised. Amen.

Someone who is undeserving of death. Someone who is righteous. It is called the law of the kinsman Redeemer. No, there is no other way. The penalty of sin is death and so someone has to pay the price. If not, then God couldn't be just, His word couldn't be trusted, and there would be chaos instead of order.

      You didn’t eat the apple but you’re a fruit of his essence. If you don’t want to be part of Adam, stop sinning! The fact that you’re sinning, probably every day, means you’re part of him.
      You and I break all Of Gods commandments. . You might say that you haven’t killed a person? Have you thought of bad thought towards someone? Then you’ve committed murder. You might think Hitler is bad, but do you have pride? Do you have a racism towards people of specific nation? Do you want to get power and recognition? Then you are just like Hitler. We all are. That’s why Jesus says we are all sinners and we should not judge one another. If we do, we are hypocrites. If Hitler stood in front of me, the first thing I would tell him would be, “I have sinned. I am guilty. How did we get on this disgusting path, brother?”
      Do you know who has the power to save us from sin? God! That’s why he came down as a human, the only sinless human, he didn’t deserve death but he chose to die for our sins. “Woman’s seed will crash your head.” Jesus is the only human that came only from a woman, without a man. The rest of us are born from man and woman. Only God has the power to pay the debt for the sins of ALL people. What a testament of love towards his creation and because we know he loves us that much, we love him back. We love those that love us - especially in such a immense unimaginably unconditional way.

    The Quran is the only scripture in its original form and God promises in the Quran He will preserve it. All the messengers from Abraham, to Isaac, to Jonah and Moses had the same message. God is one and follow his commandments. Jesus in the old and new testament never claimed divinity, he said worship the Father, aka God. What Paul teaches is a completely different story, and if your a Christian you should follow Christ. The Bible has been corrupted, revised, misinterpreted so id recommend you look into it if youre a true devout Christian.

      Why would you assume to know he doesn’t want to give us a name for himself? If he is infinite and you are finite, why do you presuppose to know what God does or doesn’t want?
      The Bible does not say God needs a name. God does however give us a few names to which ‘we cry Abba, Father!’
      The Spirit intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words for we do not know what to pray for as we ought.
      Maybe he gives us names to call him so that us finite beings are able to relate tto him more.

      GOD revealed himself as I AM who I AM. It is actually not a name but a statement about who he is . We all know that before creation there exist only one being GOD. In other words to create you , he,she, they or any other beings there must exist either an "I"infinite being or "we" infinite being. Since GOD is one there exists an "I"being .
      And "AM" denotes the eternal presence. So I AM who I AM is not a name to distinguish him from other beings. This statement clearly denotes that GOD of Bible is the true GOD

      YOU ASKED:*
      Who is God?
      *ANSWER:*
      From my logic and studies of the scriptures, God is One. He's is self-subsistent by whom all things subsist. He begets not, nor is He begotten. And there is nothing in creation like (comparable) to Him.
      *YOU ASKED:*
      what is His Holy name?
      *ANSWER:*
      The proper name of God is a function of language, so, by that standard, God's name could be anything. However, one can call God by His attributes. He is: The All-Might, The All-Powerful, The All-Knowing, The Creator, The All-Merciful, The All-Just, The Beneficent, The All Merciful Dispenser of Compassion and Grace, etc.
