AH!! The Names of God! What a providential introduction to what I feel led to discuss: the attributes of God...

(I invite all of you to add to and expound upon this meagre list...)

In no particular order (and most certainly, not complete):

• God is... pre-existing

• God is... uncaused

• God is... eternal (without begining or end)

• God is... Alpha and Omega (He IS the beginning and the end)

• God is... unbound by the "universal" time that began with His creation of this universe

• God is... beyond the confines of this particular space-time that He created.

• God is... omnipotent (all-powerful)

• God is... omniscient (all-knowing)

• God is... omnipresent "everywhere at once"

• God is... Spirit

• God is... Love

• God is... unconstrained by whatever interpretation His creatures chose to apply to His Word.

• God is... Creator -- of all that is -- "ex nihilo" -- "from nothing"...

• God is... Maker (former, fabricator, shaper) of every object -- from the substance (material, mass, energy) he created.

• God is... Designer of all that is -- and the "laws" by which it operates

• God is... Author of His Word -- all of it

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

• God... IS... (His Name is "I AM")

  ---

  And, finally,...

• God is... NOT

Excellent list

I’d like to add one more

Thank you so very much for your wonderful posts, dear brother in Christ, and thank you for your encouragements!

I do indeed see the "Universal Now" in your list of attributes of God.

And I would add one more which goes to that very point: God is Truth.

More specifically, He alone sees "all that there is" all at once - every where and every when.

He alone knows objective Truth. He alone speaks objective Truth.

He is Truth for when He says a thing, it is. It is because He said it:

And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. - Genesis 1:3

By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. - Psalms 33:6

For he spake, and it was [done]; he commanded, and it stood fast. - Psalms 33:9

In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; - Titus 1:2

Concerning multi-verse or parallel universe models, I would add that most physical cosmologies apply the present universe's physical laws to prior universes thus carrying over the same issue of the beginning of the prior universe, etc. The only closed physical cosmology known to me is Max Tegmark's Level IV Parallel Universe which posits that the present universe is a manifestation of real mathematical structures which actually do exist outside of space/time.

God is The Creator whether He made one universe or many.

Praise God!!!
