Lord of all, creator of heaven and the earth,praise worthy,exalted one, purest of the pure,without beginning, without end,most righteous,provider,most high,fearless,more noble,never in doubt,eternally awake, and many more. The another term for God are Lord or Jehovah!!!

A more expanded explanation:

The term 'god' is not a big magical word, as many make it out to be.

The Hebrew word in The Bible is 'el'. It is a 'title'. It's not even a personal name. In the Bible, many things are called 'god'; -- even men are called 'god'. The word 'el' simply means: 'mighty one' or 'strong one', that's all.

The term 'el' is used extensively in the makeup of proper names, such as Elisha; Michael, etc.

At Isaiah 9:6 Jesus Christ is prophetically called ʼElGib·bohr′, "Mighty God". And certainly Jesus is a 'mighty one'. But this is quite different from the term ʼElShad·dai′; which is only applied to Jehovah God. ʼElShad·dai means 'God Almighty'. (Gen 17:1[God Almighty], which is applied to Jehovah at Genesis 17:1).

Almighty God carries MANY 'titles'. He's called: Father; Lord; Most High; Eternal; etc etc. These are all simply 'titles'. They are not equivalent to the term 'god'. Father means Father; Lord means owner or master; Eternal means he has no beginning, and no end of existence.

A 'title' tells us -WHAT someone is; not WHO he is.

A 'name' tells us - WHO that person is.

True, both a 'title' and a 'name' are NOUNS; --- but a name is a 'proper noun'; while a title is more generic, and can be applied to more than one person. (No thanks you didn't learn this from religion.)

Almighty God, the Creator, has identified himself to mankind in his word the Bible, by his personal name, Jehovah. It's found in the original texts approx 7,000 times. More times than all the titles - combined.

But there really is no other 'term' for God; other than 'mighty one', which is really generic.
