[[Divinity]] and '''divine''' (sometimes 'the Divinity' or 'the Divine'), are broadly applied but loosely defined terms, used variously within different [[faith]]s and [[belief]] [[systems]] — and even by different [[individuals]] within a given [[faith]] — to refer to some [[transcendent]] or [[transcendental]] power, or its attributes or [[manifestations]] in the world. The root of the [[words]] is literally '[[Godlike]]' (from the [[Latin]] 'Deus,' cf. Dyaus, closely related to [[Greek]] '[[Zeus]]' and [[Deva]] in [[Sanskrit]]), but the use varies significantly depending on the underlying conception of god that is being invoked.

[[Deity]] is the source of all that which is divine. Deity is characteristically and invariably divine, but all that which is divine is not necessarily Deity, though it will be co-ordinated with Deity and will tend towards some phase of unity with Deity--[[spiritual]], [[mind]]al, or [[personal]].[http://mercy.urantia.org/cgi-bin/webglimpse/mfs/usr/local/www/data/papers?link=http://mercy.urantia.org/papers/foreword.html&file=/usr/local/www/data/papers/foreword.html&line=175#mfs]
