''This article is about the biblical God. For the term as used to refer to any divine being, see [[Other Gods]]''

+

+

{{cquote|'''Genesis 1:1''' In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.}}

+

{{trinity}}'''God''' is the sovereign creator and eternal ruler of all things and beings that exist, whether in the physical [[universe]] or in the spiritual realm ([[Heaven]]). Not only is God the creator and ruler of the things and beings within those two realms, but he is also the creator of the realms themselves. God created the physical universe, and before he acted in this creation, the universe did not exist. Likewise God did with the spiritual realm.

==~~What's new~~==

+

== God is Revealed: How we know about God ==

−

~~This page~~ is ~~updated each week~~ (~~usually on Monday morning) with notes from~~ the ~~Sugar Labs community. (The digest is also sent to the community-news at sugarlabs.org list~~, ~~blogged at [http://walterbender.org/ walterbender~~.~~org]~~, ~~and~~ [[~~Sugar Labs/Current Events/Archive|archived here~~]]~~.) If you would like to contribute~~, ~~please send email to [[User:walter|walter]] at sugarlabs.org by~~ the ~~weekend. (Also visit [http://planet.sugarlabs.org planet.sugarlabs.org]~~.~~)~~

+

Other than creation itself, God is revealed in several ways, including conscience and special revelation (the bible, and prophets). Most importantly though, God is revealed in [[Jesus Christ]], who is the Son of God.

−

==~~Sugar Digest~~==

+

== Attributes or Character of God ==

+

The attributes of God are things that describe who he is. Similar to the way one might describe a close friend to another individual, so too do these attributes describe God's character and nature. Attributes of God include but are not limited to [[Wisdom]], [[Infinitude]], [[Sovereignty]], [[Holiness]], [[Trinity]], [[Omniscience]], [[Faithfulness]], [[Love]], [[Omnipotence]], [[Self-existence]], [[Self-sufficiency]], [[Justice]], [[Immutability]], [[Mercy]], [[Eternal]], [[Goodness]], [[Gracious]], and [[Omnipresence]]. These attributes all work in complete and perfect harmony with one another.

−

~~1. Simon Schampijer~~ and the ~~Sugar release team announced Sucrose 0.88 last night. This is~~ the ~~fourth Sugar release since we launched Sugar Labs last year~~. ~~Beyond the significance of the numerous improvements made~~ to ~~Sugar over~~ the ~~past six months is~~ the ~~professionalism~~ of the release team. They have a predictable process; this means that deployments can reliably anticipate how Sugar will be able to meet their needs. Also significant is the degree to which deployments participated in this release. Most of ~~the feature requests~~ and ~~many of the patches came from the field. This~~ is ~~a healthy sign, both in terms of Sugar~~'s ~~long-term sustainability~~ and ~~relevance~~.

+

God exercises eternal and righteous judgment of the wicked in [[hell]], because of an inherent problem in the human heart, namely [[Sin]]. According to the [[Bible]], the sacrifice of [[Jesus Christ]] on the cross of [[calvary]] and then [[resurrection]], is God's merciful and gracious response to the problem of the human heart.

−

~~You can read about Sucrose 0.88 in the [[0.88/Notes~~|~~extensive notes]] compiled by Simon and the team. (Note that many of the 0.88 features have been backported to Sugar 0.84, the version of Sugar initially being deployed on the OLPC XO 1.5 machines.)~~

+

=== God is Triune ===

+

−

~~Many thanks~~ to the ~~Sugar community~~.

+

Although the Bible does not use the term, it is clear that God is a triune God, or three in one.

+

These are sometimes referred to as ''God the Father'', ''God the Son'' ([[Jesus Christ|Jesus]]), and the ''[[Holy Spirit]]''.

−

~~2. There has been a heated debate regarding the inclusion~~ of ~~Adobe Flash support on~~ the ~~laptop.org developer list~~ that the Sugar community may find interesting. Please see these threads [http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/2010-March/027838.html [1]] and [http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/2010-March/027865.html [2]] as well as a ~~post from Chris Ball from a [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/iaep/2009-January/003516.html previous instantiation of the debate] in 2009)~~.

+

The first hint of the Trinity is in {{Bible ref|Genesis|1|26}} which relates God saying, "Let us make man in our image", indicating that God is a plurality.

−

===~~In the community==~~=

+

The three persons of God are treated as equivalents in these words of Jesus shortly after His resurrection:

+

{{Bible quote|Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.|book=Matthew|chap=28|verses=19|version=NIV}}

−

3. I gave the keynote this past weekend at a Hult International Business School Case Study event. They held a contest for proposals regarding the future of One Laptop per Child. I got to play the role of historian and also had the opportunity to plant a seed regarding a future study of Sugar Labs.

+

==== Jesus is God ====

−

4. The ~~DC Learning Club held a sprint this past weekend~~ in ~~order~~ to ~~update [http~~:~~//laptop.org/7~~.1~~.0/gettingstarted/index.shtml~~ the ~~getting started guide] on~~ the ~~laptop.org website. When they~~ "~~push~~" ~~their changes~~, ~~they will have updated much~~ of ~~the Sugar material on the site~~.

+

The first verse of the [[Gospel of John]], in which Jesus is referred to as the "Word", makes clear that Jesus is synonymous with God:

+

{{Bible quote|In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.|book=John|chap=1|verses=1|version=NIV}}

+

This verse not only says that "the Word" (Jesus) is synonymous with God, but also says that the Word was "in the beginning", which means that He existed before all else existed, something that is only true of God.

−

5. Rita Freudenberg announced that the University of North Carolina Wilmington will be the host for this year's USA Squeakfest! You are invited to a face-to-face gathering, sharing of experiences and materials relative to the ~~usage of Etoys, July 26, 27 and 28th~~.

+

This is reinforced two verses later, in which Jesus is described as the creator.

+

[[Genesis]] refers to God as being the Creator.

+

{{Bible quote|Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.|book=John|chap=1|verses=3|version=NIV}}

−

===~~Help wanted~~===

+

==== The Holy Spirit is God ====

−

~~6. 2010 Google Summer~~ of ~~Code intern candidates are beginning~~ to ~~circulate proposals. Please give them feedback~~.

+

In the following passage, the [[Holy Spirit]] is referred to as God:

+

{{Bible quote|Then Peter said, "Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land? Didn't it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn't the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied to men but to God."|book=Acts|chap=5|verses=3-4|version=NIV}}

−

===~~Tech talk~~===

+

=== God is omniscient ===

+

−

~~7. Thomas C Gilliard has built a first pass Sugar Creation kit as a DVD iso image. The idea~~ is ~~to have a DVD~~ that ~~can be used~~ to ~~create Sugar on a Stick USB keys~~ and ~~to install Sugar onto your computer's hard drive~~. ~~The image (which~~ is ~~quite large) can be found at [http://people~~.~~sugarlabs.org/Tgillard/Sugar-Creation-Kit~~-~~ver05.iso [3]].~~

+

God knows everything:

+

{{Bible quote|This then is how we know that we belong to the truth, and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence whenever our hearts condemn us. For God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything.|book=1_John|chap=3|verses=19-20|version=NIV}}

−

~~8. Paraguay Educa technology team has released a Sugar/F11 image for field testing in their Caacupé pilot:~~ [~~http://people.sugarlabs.org/bernie/olpc/f11-xo1-py/os115.img os115.img~~],[~~http://people.sugarlabs.org/bernie/olpc/f11-xo1-py/os115.crc os115.crc~~], [~~http://people.sugarlabs.org/bernie/olpc/f11-xo1-py/os115.img.fs.zip os115.img.fs.zip~~].

+

Because God is outside of [[time]], He can see and knows the [[past]] and the [[future]] as well as the present.

−

~~The image is~~ "~~a derivative of Stephen Parrish's excellent F11-XO1 series, frozen a few weeks ago~~ to ~~concentrate on stability and field testing~~." ~~The team~~'s ~~short-term goal is~~ to ~~meet a release criteria~~ of ~~"no regressions against build 801"~~. ~~Once~~ this is ~~done~~, ~~they plan~~ to ~~synchronize with~~ the ~~latest improvements from~~ our ~~upstreams~~, ~~F11-XO1~~.5 and ~~F11-XO1~~.

+

== "God" sometimes used to refer to God the Father ==

+

[[Image:Velasco Padre Eterno.jpg|left|140px|God the Father]]

+

In the bible, the word "God" (θεός) does not always refer to God's being as a whole, but more specifically refers to the Person of the Father (God the Father). Here are some verses which demonstrate this:

+

{{cquote|'''John 3:16''' (NASB) For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.}}

+

{{cquote|'''1 John 4:10''' (NASB) In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.}}

+

Notice how in each case, "Father" can be substituted for "God." For example, "For the ''Father'' so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son," and "not that we loved the ''Father'', but that He loved us and sent His Son."

== Terminology ==

<~~gallery~~>

+

The Bible uses several different words to refer to God.

−

:~~File~~:~~2010~~-~~Mar~~-~~20-26-som~~.~~jpg|Gary Martin has generated a SOM from~~ the ~~past week~~ of ~~discussion on~~ the ~~IAEP mailing list~~.

+

"God" itself is not a name, but an [[Old English]] word meaning ''supreme being, diety'',<ref>[http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=god God] Online Etymology Dictionary.</ref> which the translators who translated the Bible in to English chose as the appropriate English word for the [[Hebrew]] ''elohim'' and the [[Greek]] ''theos'' used in the [[Old Testament]] and [[New Testament]] respectively.<ref name="DPK">Kruse, Dale P.,[http://www.layevangelism.com/advtxbk/sections/sect-10/sec10-9.htm More on the ''Names'' of God In the Bible], Advanced Training Program of Evangelism.</ref>

+

The other main term for God is the Hebrew ''adonai'', usually translated ''Lord''.

+

There are various compound words also used in the Bible, such as ''el shaddai'', which means ''God Almighty'' ("''el''" is a short version of ''elohim'').<ref name="DPK" />

−

+

''YHWH'' is given in the Bible as God's actual name. In most English Bibles it is translated as ''Lord'', in small capitals. The name has various other English versions, including Yehovah, Jehovah, and Yahweh.<ref>McHyde, Tim, [http://www.escapeallthesethings.com/yahweh.htm God’s Name: LORD, Yahweh, Yahveh, YHWH, YHVH, Jehovah or Yehovah?]</ref>
