Just wanted to share about what I believe and how I imagine God's charactersitics: His description's goes like this? God is a personal being (not an impersonal force). God is immaterial, omnipresent (everywhere), omniscient (all knowing), omnipotent (all powerful), omnibenevolent (all good), immutable (unchanging), sovereign (supreme in authority), free, perfect, and eternal (without beginning or end). As the creator and sustainer of the universe it is understandable that there are some characteristics of God that are beyond our ability to comprehend. For instance God is one divine being in three distinct persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each are equally and eternally the one true God.
God reveals His characteristics to us through 'general,' or 'natural' revelation, and through 'special revelation.' God's general revelation includes what He has revealed to us through His creation in nature and in our God given conscience. Special revelation on the other hand is what God has revealed to us through supernatural means including His Son Jesus Christ, His Spirit, and His Word the Bible.

I simply just wanted to share,

Thank you for reading,

Shtal.

like all figments of the imagination god is whatever you project in your mind that you want it to be - like all gods throughout history.

 

BTW shtal your imagination of what god could be is self-contradictory and also contradicts scripture.

 

you need to stop making up god.

Vk~ I agree with this comment > like all figments of the imagination god is whatever you project in your mind that you want it to be - like all gods throughout history. <

You are correct and this is essentially what happens when people reject what the Scriptures / Bible teach about God,,,Shtals assesment of Gods nature in the OP is accurate when compared to the Bible,,,,Vk what makes your comment true, is when we reject what we know about God, and make for ourselves our very own personal , handtailored god,,  At that point god takes on many different attributes, natures, and characters depending on our individual preferences,,,Essentially we make gods of our own that suit us and make us comfortable.

There was never a time when God was not,

nor will there ever be a time when God will cease to be.

All that God is today,God has ever been and He will ever be.

I am the Lord,I change not  Malachi 3:6.

Gouda please demonstrate unambiguous and indisputable evidence of your claim that all people alive in  the planet would agree with right now, should not be diffiicult god answers all prayers and is omni-present and all powerful .....or even something personal like pm something that i only i know about myself, specific details of an event or something like that.... i will wait for the evidence.

 

 

oh and spare the non-sequiters or quotes from a book like the universe exists therefore god exists, it says so in the bible, (also circular reasoning).

 

look forward to your evidence
