God the Father

God the Father is a title given to God in various religions. In Judaism, God is described as ""Father"" as he is seen as the absolute one, indivisible and incomparable, transcendent, immanent, and non-corporeal God of creation and history. The God in Judaism is the giver of the shabbath and the torahs—written, oral, mystical—to his chosen people. However, in Judaism the use of the ""Father"" title is generally a metaphor and is one of many titles by which Jews speak of and to God.In trinitarian Christianity, God the Father is regarded as the first person of the Trinity, followed by the second person God the Son (Jesus Christ) and the third person God the Holy Spirit. Since the second century, Christian creeds included affirmation of belief in ""God the Father (Almighty)"", primarily as his capacity as ""Father and creator of the universe"". Yet, in Christianity the concept of God as the father of Jesus Christ goes metaphysically further than the concept of God as the Creator and father of all people, as indicated in the Apostle's Creed where the expression of belief in the ""Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth"" is immediately, but separately followed by in ""Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord"", thus expressing both senses of fatherhood.The Islamic view of God sees God as the unique creator of the universe and as the life-giver, and although traditional Islamic teaching does not formally prohibit using the term ""Father"" in reference to God, it does not propagate or encourage it.
