God is called several things. You could call them names I guess, but his name is God. Simple as that. A title would be god with a little 'g' because they would be false gods, not the one true God.

The names listed below were taken directly from the bible. Just organized in an easy to see format

God was called 100+ different names. Here is a picture of them:

God is a concept I don't believe in, so "God" seems a short simple word to use. It's all subjective really.

Don't know, but there are about nine billion of them.

In the picture that you posted, one of the names of God is listed as Christ. But is not the Christ the Son of God?

@EmperorPalpatine

So let me get this straight (you are an atheist, right), according to Catholics, God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit are entirely different beings, but they are the same person as God Almighty? Perhaps you can explain how that works.

Christ is the name, he was called Christ,

Christ is a title, meaning "anointed". It's derived from the Greek translation of "messiah".

i just say hes Jesus really, for the record i am baptist christian. i also call him lord or god, pretty much those 3 mean the same

@231terminator - Your method of referring to God is a logical inconsistency. Lord, God, and Jesus do not mean the same thing. From a sense and reference point of view, they refer quite clearly to different entities. As a Baptist Christian, you are also a Trinitarian.

This commitment, by itself, is a logical inconsistency. And by that I don't mean that it just doesn't make sense. I mean that there is an internal contradiction in this notion. In other words, acceptance of this doctrine is epistemically irrational.

Just to make it clear, as a matter of fact, "those 3" don't mean the same thing. Again, this depends on your notion of meaning. But I'm not aware of an analysis of meaning that can get you the result you want.

In Catholicism, this worry is known as a divine mystery of faith. So at least they recognise the inconsistency.

I'm not suggesting that you revise your beliefs. We are all - each and every one of us - guilty of holding inconsistent beliefs. I'm just suggesting that this inconsistency is something you consider.

'Lord' and 'God' are titles, whereas Jesus is a specific being.

To a Trinitarian, the Son is also God.

To a Trinitarian, and also to many Catholics, God the Father, God the Son, and the Holy Spirit are three beings, yet come together to form one Being, e.g, God.

However, note what it said in Luke 22:42, KJV:

Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.

Here, Jesus is praying to his Father. But according to the Trinity doctrine, Jesus would be talking to himself. Why would he have the need to ask his father for permission to do something if he is his father?
