{{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.

== Attributes or Character of God ==
+
==[[Activity Library/Glossary|Activity Library]]==
−
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.

−
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.

[[Category:General public]]
−
=== God is Triune ===
 
−
{{main|Trinity}}
 
−
 
 
−
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]]''.
 
−
 
 
−
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.
 
−
 
 
−
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}}
 
−
 
 
−
==== Jesus is God ====
 
−
 
 
−
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.
 
−
 
 
−
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}}
 
−
 
 
−
==== The Holy Spirit is God ====
 
−
 
 
−
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}}
 
−
 
 
−
=== God is omniscient ===
 
−
{{main|omniscience}}
 
−
 
 
−
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}}
 
−
 
 
−
Because God is outside of [[time]], He can see and knows the [[past]] and the [[future]] as well as the present.
 
−
 
 
−
== "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)<br />For <u>God</u> so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten <u>Son</u>, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.}}
 
−
{{cquote|'''1 John 4:10''' (NASB)<br />In this is love, not that we loved <u>God</u>, but that He loved us and sent <u>His Son</u> 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 ==
 
−
 
 
−
The Bible uses several different words to refer to God.
 
−
"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 <span style="font-variant:small-caps">''Lord''</span>, 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>

Operating system

operating system (OS)
The low-level system that manages the various files, processes, etc. needed to operate the laptop; the OS used by the XO laptop is the RedHat Fedora distribution of Linux.
build
a specific instance of the operating system, designated by category and number; e.g., OLPC Update.1-703; OLPC Joyride-1792; Ubuntu 8.4 Hardy Heron; Fedora 9

Internal storage

datastore
component that manages the access to the data displayed in the Journal; these data are stored in individual files; an index that contains the metadata and speeds up searches

External storage

flash memory device/USB stick/jumpdrive/thumb drive/USB drive
A small, external storage device that plugs into one of the USB ports on a computer. They can store between 16 MB (enough to hold several music files) up to 32 GB (enough to hold multiple high quality full-length movie files) and a wide range in between. Flash drives are easily purchased at any electronic store starting as low as $5 to $10.
SD card
Secure Digital (SD) is a flash (non-volatile) memory card format used in portable devices, including digital cameras, hand-held computers, PDAs, and mobile phones. SD card capacities range from 8 MB to 32 GB.

Networking

mesh network
A wireless mesh network is a communications network made up of radio nodes in which nodes can forward information on behalf of each other so that even nodes that are not in direct radio contact can communicate via nodes that are between them. The collective coverage area of the radio nodes working as a single network becomes a mesh cloud.
infrastructure mode
network connectivity through a Wi-Fi access point, e.g., 802.11b/g
mesh mode
network connectivity through a mesh network, e.g., 802.11s
simple mesh mode
a mesh network that is running between Sugar users without a School Server
school server mesh mode
a mesh network that is mediated by a School Server
presence
a discovery service for finding other Sugar users on a network
jabber
a protocol that Sugar can use for collaboration
tubes
a protocol for passing data between Sugar users
mesh channel
Sugar prefers three channels for communication: 1, 6, and 11; in simple mesh mode, the Sugar users can only see other users on the same channel; in a School Server mesh, users on all channels are visible
access point (AP)
an AP is a device that connects wireless communication devices together to form a wireless network. The AP usually connects to a wired network and can relay data between wireless devices and wired devices. Several APs can link together to form a larger network.
mesh portal point
a mesh node that serves as a gateway (portal) to a network external to the mesh

User Interface (UI)

A User Interface is defined by Wikipedia as "the aggregate of means by which people—the users—interact with the system—a particular machine, device, computer program or other complex tools. The user interface provides means of:
  • Input, allowing the users to manipulate a system
  • Output, allowing the system to produce the effects of the users' manipulation."
So, the Sugar user interface is all the icons and words and the screen they appear on, in addition to the keyboard, mouse, and touchpad buttons used to interact with those icons and words.
Because, the Sugar learning philosophy strives to integrate every part of the system into a coherent learning tool, we emphasize the learning over other uses, and often substitute Learners for 'Users' when we speak of the people in our community.
Sugar UI
the user interface of the laptop is called “Sugar”; it consists of four views, the Frame, and the Journal
Home view
a view of what activities you are running and other status information;
Group view
a view of your friends with whom you are working on shared projects;
Neighborhood view
a view of who is on the network with you and what activities and content are being shared. The Network view is the starting screen on the XO-1 laptop.;
Activity view
a view used by the current activity that is running on the laptop
Frame
the Frame, which can appear in any view, holds navigation controls, the task bar (of running activities), a list of “buddies” (collaborators), internal & external devices, a clipboard, and notifications.;
Journal
a special activity where you can see your previous work done in other activities. You can also resume the work done at those activities;
toolbox
a user-interface element that appears in the top part of most activities and contains one or more toolbars
toolbar
a user-interface element that can contain several buttons, text entry fields, drop-down menus, etc.; common examples of toolbars include: Activity, View, Edit, et al.
palette
a black box that appears when the mouse hovers over an object; a palette can contain the name of the control, some details about it or a menu of some related actions.

Activities and Content

activity
an application that has an icon in the taskbar, e.g., Write, Record, Browse; Activities engage you in taking a picture, reading a book, creating a page, annotating a page, animating a drawing, making sounds and music, measuring and sensing, sharing your favorites, inviting your friends, surfing on the web, etc...
content
books, music, movies, photographs, drawings, etc. that are created on the computer or downloaded to the computer
content library
content that is created on the computer is accessed through the Journal; preloaded content is stored in a library and is accessed through the Browse activity.
bundle/activity bundle
a “zip” file with a .xo suffix used to package and distribute activities; bundles are installed in ~/Activities
content bundle/collection
a “zip” file with a .xol suffix used to package and distribute content; bundles are installed in ~/Library
roadmap
a plan made up of stages
sugar coat or sugar coating
A process for making Linux apps run under the Sugar desktop (i.e. making them to run in the Sugar interface, without the collaboration and other Sugar integration programmed into them).
sugarizing
A process of re-engineering Linux applications to run as native Sugar activities which take advantage of Sugar's collaboration capabilities and interface.

Documentation and Support

Wiki
a collaborative website that allows for community contributions and editing, e.g., http://wiki.sugarlabs.org
IRC/chat (Internet Relay Chat)
real-time text chat used by the development and technical support communities (and hopefully the learning community as well)
email list
a collection of email addresses—an efficient way to send email to a group of people who share an interest

Localization

Pootle
