The nickname given to our Father in Heaven, creator of all. Comes from the German word "Gott". In Latin bibles, "Deus" is used, while in the original Greek of the New Testament, "Theos" (Creator) is used. Prior to the New Testament, it was against Jewish tradition to write God's true name. YAHWEH, derived from "YHWH"--from the statement God made to Moses, "I am", when asked who he was (Exodus 3:14).
In Modern Christian churches, Jesus is often declared to be God-the-Son, a part of the Trinity or "Godhead", signifying God exists as three beings in one; Father, Son, and Holy Ghost/Spirit. The Apostle Paul wrote that there is one God (1 Timothy 2:5), while the Apostle John wrote that the Word of God was made flesh and lived among us (John 1:1-14).
