Christian denominations have slightly different views on the nature of God. Fundamentalist Christians would belive that God is the unquestioned lord of the universe, the creator and the giver of life to all living things. They believe that God is omnipotent and omniscient, watching us all the time and answering our prayers. More liberal Christians would say that God is the holy part of a human being, the part that makes him or her do good things, give up things for the benefit of others.
Most Christians believe God is a spirit, who protects and controls the world through the Trinity. The Father is believed to be a supreme and powerful authority, a patriarch, and protector. The Son, Jesus Christ, is thought to be God incarnate, who came to provide salvation and direction to people of Earth. The Spirit is considered to act with and share an essential nature with the Father and the Son. However, some Christians - mostly Liberal Christians - believe that God is part of every human being, giving them direction, protection and belief in themselves and their actions.
All Christians have different beliefs about the nature of God. However, there are certain beliefs that they share, these are the omnipotence of God and the belief that God is made up of the Trinity (The Father, Son (Jesus Christ) and Holy Ghost). They think that the Father is God, who is almighty and watches over all human beings, forgiving us for our sins and protecting us from evil. Jesus Christ, his Son is believed to be God in human form, meaning that he was sent to guide us and show us full human potential. He brought the message of peace and gave Chrisitans the teachings that we have today. And finally Christians see the Holy Ghost as the omnipresent form of God, meaning that he is always around us and therefore helping us in our daily lives.
Various Christians have various beliefs in the nature of God. Most Christians think of God as a spirit, who is always there physically and mentally watching over and shielding the precious earth via the Trinity. He is believed to be a authoritative and a unique figure to others. Liberal Christians would say that he is a holy part of a human and makes us do good deeds for the benefit of others around him.
Christians have roughly the same beliefs about the nature of God; That he is a omnipotent, benevolent holey spirit. Although some Christians can see God in slightly different ways. Such as Liberal Christians see God as a part of everybody that guides them, and when something good happens in their life its because God was there within them, helping. Where as Fundamental Christians see God as the omniscient leader and creator of everything and picture him looking down on the world.

many christians believe god comes in three forms called the trinity. the trinity consists of the father; the creator of the univearse and the all powerful leader, the son; jesus christ is thougt to be the god in the human form, and the holy ghost; an omnipitant force that keeps the world in order. although this is just the view of some christians and not the view of all denominations
