Answers

a) Christians are monotheists. This means that they believe that there is only one God. According to Christianity, God is unlike anything else that exists. This means that it can be very difficult to describe God, because to use everyday language is inadequate and would limit his all powerfulness. God is often described as 'holy', which means special, separate and different.

Christians believe:

* God is eternal, beyond time and space.

* God is not limited by having a physical body, and is everywhere at all times.

* God is the creator of the world and everything in it, and has a purpose for the world.

* God is perfectly good and perfectly loving.
