Shouldn't there be a reference to the Nicene Creed which was largely influential to the idea of the trinity and eventually became standard Christian doctrine?Superbuttons (talk) 19:31, 3 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Is the term "God the Father" really used as much in Judaism as the article currently suggests? I would have assumed that it would be a term that most Jews would avoid, given its strong associations with the Christian concept of the Trinity. Using the term "God the Father" would usually be seen as implying that God has a (divine) son, which is a no-no for non-Christians. It would be good if someone with more knowledge of the subject could weigh in. 124.148.65.8 (talk) 13:31, 18 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Would it make sense for God Father to redirect to Godfather instead of here? Kendall-K1 (talk) 23:55, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I don't get the point of the Overview section. For example, for Bahá'í we have exactly one hatnote and one sentence, yet these two items are in two different places. Shouldn't they be together? I'm going to be bold and merge Overview into the appropriate sections. Revert and discuss if you disagree. Kendall-K1 (talk) 02:45, 21 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Do you refer to God the Father as the Lord in responsorial psalm? 112.201.9.127 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 14:50, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It is clear from the text that only Christianity uses the article title "God the Father" for God. The other religions cited may refer to a god (or the god) as "father" but that is not the capitalised title of this article. So the article either needs to acknowledge that in the lede or the title should be changed to something like "Father (god)" or better still create a new article with the latter title and move the "other religions" section to it. As the article currently stands, it suggests that there are multiple religions using the title "God the Father" which appears from the text to be untrue.

Can we include Isaiah 64:8, Deuteronomy 32:6, Jeremiah 3:19, and Malachi 2:10?[1] Temp0000002 (talk) 17:37, 26 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
References
"God the Father" is not a title of God. God the Father is a Person of the Trinity. He is God, but "God the Father" is not a title of God in the same way that, for example, "Yahweh" or "Creator" or "Lord" are names/titles of God. You can say "God the Father is Yahweh" or "God the Father is the Creator" or "God the Father is the Lord" or "Jesus is Yahweh" or "Jesus is the Creator" or "Jesus is the Lord" or "The Holy Spirit is Yahweh" or "The Holy Spirit is the Creator" or "The Holy Spirit is the Lord," but you cannot say "Jesus is God the Father" or "The Holy Spirit is God the Father." ("God the Father is God the Father" is, of course, a tautology.) Thus, the first sentence is incorrect. 184.21.204.5 (talk) 21:31, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
