Paper 1
Revise: Nature of GodDescribing God as Creator, Law-Giver or Judge does not divide God up.
Paper 3
God as the source of commandments that guide worship and human behaviour.
Explain a belief’s significance, not just its meaning: belief in God as Law-Giver gives Jews guidance for how to live.
Keep God’s roles distinct: giving commandments is the role of Law-Giver; assessing people’s actions is the role of Judge.
Distinguish Law-Giver from Judge: God gives the commandments and judges how people respond to them.

Creator, Law-Giver and Judge describe the same God, not different divine beings. God is understood as non-physical, so these descriptions explain God's relationship with the world rather than God's appearance.
