No, Gott is German. "God" is English.
excusemeplease · 56-60, M
@JonathanC Old English, of Germanic origin.
JonathanC · 61-69, M
@excusemeplease But not German per se. You are being disingenuous.
excusemeplease · 56-60, M
@JonathanC ever heard of etymology?
Sheer · F
I don't... How is that so?
excusemeplease · 56-60, M
@Sheer indo german. My point is: the entity in the Bible is called "Theos" (latin: Deus). So they - the Christians - are a bit confused when it comes to whom they actually worship; the Europeans converted to Christianity under one condition: that they could proceed to worship their own entity instead of a foreign entity... get the picture? The Romans gave in; it was an act of diplomacy lol

@excusemeplease Uh I'm afraid I lack a lot of knowledge in this area, and still don't quite get the picture you're painting, from your explanation... You start with the word "indo" which I don't know what means. I don't know what entity it is in the bible, called Theos?

@Sheer Yeah, it's a bit simplistic what I stated. But it's a long story! Maybe this gives you a better picture: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-European_languages

God is an English word. There is a word in German, "Gott" that sounds very similar and has the same meaning....

@hippyjoe1955 the word in the original Bible is "Theos". I assume I made that up as well....
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@excusemeplease Theos is Greek. The Oldest name we have in the Bible from Genesis is Elohim. In El meaning God Elohim meaning Gods. Three Persons in One God.

@excusemeplease And the Vulgate has "Deus."

Irrespective of it's origin, it designates the Eternal Creator of all existence..
There is a discriptor for the Creator of all existence in every language..

An Anglo- Saxton word has my wager. Not the "reich" .

I thought it was just a pious word.
excusemeplease · 56-60, M
@cycleman true. True.
Wiseacre · F
