Explain the biblical beliefs about the attributes of God.

easy for God; they are only either done or not done. Since God is infinite and since He possesses power, He possesses infinite power. He does allow His creatures to have some power, but this in no way diminishes His own. “He expends no energy that must be replenished.” When the Bible says God rested on the seventh day, it was to set an example for us and our need for rest, not because he was tired. Omnipresence; this theological term means “always present.” Since God is infinite, His being knows no boundaries. So, clearly He is everywhere. This truth is taught throughout the Bible as the phrase “I am with you always” is repeated 22 times in both the Old and New Testaments. These were even Jesus’ words of assurance just after giving the challenge to his disciples to take his message to the entire world. This is certainly a comforting truth for all who follow Jesus. Another attribute is the concept of God as omniscient. The claim that God is omniscient means that God knows everything. God is all knowing and all wise and knows all that is true. There is nothing that is outside the scope of His conception, understanding, or attention. Neither does probability exist for God; all things either are or are not in His perspective. There is no maybe. God even knows all empirical truths such as how many leaves on a tree or hairs on my head, ‘Even every hair on your head has been counted. Don’t be afraid! You are worth more than many sparrows.’ (Luke 12:7) This attribute of God being all-knowing is essential as God’s justice depends on it. God cannot be just if God does not know everything. To be just God needs to know the all things- the true motives in a person’s heart and his secret desires. Jesus promises that. ‘Your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you. ‘(Matthew 6:6). Last but not least, the concept of god being as omnibenevolent is that God only does things that are good. Isaiah 45:7 "I make peace and create evil.  I the Lord do all these things."   ‘’The Judaeo-Christian idea of God is too inconsistent to be a source of moral teaching.’’ (10 marks)
