When did the word God first come into being?
The word "God" appeared in the pre-Qin period, referring to the Emperor of Heaven at that time. At that time, China thought that the heaven was called the emperor and the earth was called the king. Heaven is God and the earth is Zhou Wang.
When Matteo Ricci and other missionaries came to China to preach in the late Ming Dynasty, they translated the Lord in Christianity into God and secretly replaced God in China, making China people think that their God is the Lord in Christianity. Later, with the spread of Christianity until the Qing Dynasty, the word God gradually became a special reference to the Lord in Christianity.
