GOD THE FATHER, SON, AND HOLY SPIRIT
Good (18, agathos) = good (only God is good, agathos) Also, a description of a person indwelt by God or their actions directed by God Good action (2570, kalos) = a good work (might call it virtuous) Only agathos and kalos people and actions are acceptable to God. The major Attributes of our Creator God are Holiness, total moral purity, absolute purity of highest goodness, no mixture, no impurity of any kind, only singleness of expression and purpose of all attributes simultaneously in all things and Eternally // Love, total selflessness in all actions and being, absolutely acting at all times that the most possible good of Himself is provided to all others, to whom His Love must also give free choice // Truth, only pure Spiritual reality of existence as seen by God, therefore, relating only to His Attributes, ultimate reality // and Wisdom, the why, only totally rational and logical, relating only to His Truth, Love, and Holiness. "He cannot deny Himself" (2 Tim 2:13). These, of course, are the presumed main characteristics of our Monadic (one of a kind) Creator; all other characteristics of God subsume within these four Attributes.
Such characteristics as Just and Justice can be seen as Truth, Love, Holiness and Wisdom meeting together; Mercy as Love, Truth, Holiness, and Wisdom meeting together; same with all subsuming characteristics. Of course, our Creator God, as God, is Omnipresence, Omnipotence, Omniscient, Immutable, Sovereign, and Spiritual. He is beyond and within the world, a Creator and Sustainer, who Sovereignly controls and Supernaturally contingently intervenes throughout time and Eternity, knowing the end from the beginning. To our understanding, God is more digitally relating, and not linearly analogue. Calvinists describe Him as linearly analogue, saying He knows the end because He planned and programed everthing and everyone from the beginning, without free will contingencies, as in Deism of Calvinism.
Our Creator Lord God is outside of time. He occupies Eternity in additional dimensions; some think 10 dimensions in all. He is past, present, and future in all knowing and actions and Presence in all instances of time simultaneously. He is outside of time the fourth dimension, in multiple dimensions beyond. This means that all His workings, knowledge, and foreknowledge, are NOT linear or analogue, as some may think. All His present contingent actions at any instance in past, present, or future are based upon all knowledge of all our actions and His related contingent actions in past, present, and future in the same instance. Thereby, He makes all history in time to fulfill the greatest possible Holiness, Love, and Truth, in His great Wisdom.
He deals with all things more digitally in our understanding of digital rather than simply looking down from the beginning of time and determing everything from the beginning in an analogue or linear manner. Theism, with God allowing and dealing with free will of man contingencies throughout the history of mankind, is a proper understanding of God, rather than Deism.
"O the depth of the riches both of the Wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past finding out!" Rom 11:33 This digital and contingent aspect of God in relation to us in Time is very important for our understanding.
God deals with man in "real time" in relation to man, while He remains outside of Time. This means that all His dealings with man are contingent, meaning condtional upon man's "in Time" behavior. Our Eternal Creator does not Love us unconditiionally as the Medievil linear analogue1 Calvinists teach and the modern "grace" regardless infidels further corrupted. All this website speaks to God's dealings with us as entirely conditional.2 This is only the common sense of any child. See footnotes on this website, they are extensive and helpful.2 As a few very clear examples: (there are possibly thousands of them in scripture)
"All their wickedness is in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of mine house, I will love them no more: all their princes are revolters" (Hos 9:15).
"He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him" (John 14:21).
"Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him" (John 14:23).
"As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love" (John 15:9-10).
"For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God" (John 16:27).
"He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that does not obey the Son shall not see Life; but the wrath of God abideth on him" (John 3:36).
"Thus saith the Lord unto this people (Judah), Thus have they loved to wander, they have not refrained their feet, therefore the Lord doth not accept them; he will now remember their iniquity, and visit their sins. Then said the Lord unto me, Pray not for this people for their good. When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and an oblation, I will not accept them: but I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence" (Jer 14:10-13).
"Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation" (John 5:28-29).
"Who will render to every man according to his deeds: To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: For there is no respect of persons with God" (Rom 2:6-12).
"Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven" (Matt 10:32-33).
"He that is committing for the purpose or result of the Son is having everlasting life: and he that is not obeying the Son shall not see Life; but the wrath of God is abiding on him" (John 3:36).
