For now, we will just discuss only three religions, Christianity, Judaism and Islam. We are going to start with the most common religion(The one with the most number of believers but unfortunately lesser no. of in depth followers), Christianity.
Note: We have omitted the possibilities of alternation of the Holy scripture(In Christianity Bible or In Judaism Tanakh or the Hebrew Bible).
Concept of God in Christianiaty(Christian definition of God)?
About God in Christianity, a famous theologist James A. Flower said,
"What God is, only God is. God does what He does, because He is who He is."
In Christianity, one may get confused in the son and the father concept, but they believe both are the same, they are not seperate.
God revealed Himself supernaturally in the incarnation of His Son, Jesus Christ.
-(cf. John 1:14; 14:9).
The question which arises in every healthy mind is, can God be limited in time(by time I mean the incarnation of Jesus into a human body)? or Can a limited be called God? For further explanation checkout the last post.
In Christianity God is one, then can two be called one? or If they are one, Aren't they parted away(Can God have two or multiple parts?)?
This post is just to get more direct knowledge from fellows here, answers will be much appreciated!
Concept of God In Judaism(Jewish definition of God)?
The fact of God's existence is accepted almost without question. Proof is not needed, and is rarely offered. The Torah(The Holy scripture in Judaism) begins by stating "In the beginning, God created..." It does not tell who God is or how He was created. Judaism does not seek out converts and the one who converts will still be A Jew and actively discourages in converts.
Concept of God In Islam(Islamic definition of ALLAH)?
Concept of God in Islam is not limited by any mean, He is the creator, the perfect, the greatest of all, the supreme and the most knowledge able(not bound in time domain and not limited) and in Islam God have 99 attributes(all mentioned in the Holy Quran-which is the only scripture without any alternation). But the word "ALLAH" is the most precise and the most commonly used word for God in Islam. Islamic definition of God is rather more precise as 99 of His attributes(revealed) clarifies all the doubts. Moreover when we see monotheism, by definition the concept of God in Islam best fits in.
"The zeal and the eagerness for truth must not stop."

Stay passionate, stay blessed !
I believe everything is god, experiencing our self =] thanks for the post I enjoyed it!
I would rather say, "God is everything " :)
Thank you so much for your kind remarks :)
YES , God is real and DOES exist! It doesn't matter what you call the being, Allah, Jehovah, or God, never, ever doubt he is one and with us all. God is good, all the time.
He is indeed with all of us, thank you so much for your remarks :)
nice one here. its funny how christianity indeed has the highest number of believers yet with the least number believers with in depth knowledge. thanks for this.
Unable to fully understand your words!
I believe Christianity would have even greater number of followers if the current followers would have followed Christianity completely.
Best
Thank you so much my friend @iqbaallsm :)
Great post, learning from this but I must say when it comes to religion people tend to have different answers
Every mind have it's own understanding of God, just shared what I understood :)
BTW,thank you for the remarks :)
Very informative post. I am glad. But it doesn't answer question of which one? Maybe next post will be about this.... thank you.
It was rather intentional, I poured the best of my knowledge about these concepts and left it on the readers, how they perceive it...
These are existential questions like your post I think. Because our lifestyle, perspectives about meaning of life and matter depend on whether beliving God. We determine our vision according to beliefs even we are secular.
BTW, thank you so much for your words :)
Indeed, even an atheist believes in many a things, my first post was rather more in depth about why do we should believe in God? & in this one, I tried to explain concepts of God in different religions.(though I only covered monotheistic religions)
Yes, our perspective or POV is definitely dependent on whether we believe in God or not and that is the reason I wrote the first post about existence of God :)
Nice to meet you bro. Keep going... :-))
every religion says god is love
Indeed, God is all about love :)

I think to say the Allah is without limits and has a precise number of attributes is a confusion and disregard of grammar and mathematical conceptions that fall into the purview of our understanding of infinite and finite.
That wasn't what I meant there, that is why I edited it now !
BTW, thank you so much for your remarks :)
