How is it that despite the fact the Christian Holy Scriptures which have been around for some over three thousand years and yet until this very day few are those who really know the GOD of this Scriptures — how HE is like?
If you look at the whole world that professed the so called Abrahamic religion, we have all kinds of things being proclaimed and taught as religious doctrines concerning what all these religions claim is their One God, two Gods (now a family and soon billions to trillions), three-in-one Gods or God of ninety-nine (99) names (now being twisted and spun as not actually names by epithets).
Or (the latest religion to proclaimed itself as of the GOD of Abraham) of a God who is always changing or evolving, with each iteration of the proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives of this self proclaimed universal religion, a religion of an ever changing and evolving (i.e. mutating) God. Changing and evolving with each new supreme proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives of this God, meaning each one of these always having a new different take as to what this God is, from His name to what He is about and if he is doing anything.
Most of these are either meaningless (i.e. inconsistent, contrary and massively stupid and make no rational or logical sense) superstitious mumbo jumbo giving us little to hold on to about this GOD because nearly all of them teach totally different things that this G-d/Gods/whatever-named-God of theirs supposedly required from man and to what ends.
What we have instead of the certainty of a constant unchanging all knowing (i.e. absolutely intelligent aka wise and understanding) GOD we have a confusion of contradictions and also nonsensical utter nonsense.
Instead of the all everywhere (i.e. omniscience) GOD we have a G_d/Gods/God99 who is always nowhere when His supposedly faithful believers are in dire need of Him. Instead of an all powerful (i.e. omnipotent) GOD we have a G-d/Gods/God99 that is literally powerless always needing His lust seeded and fueled subscribing discipleships to go on murderous acts and campaigns of brutal violence of rapes, plunders and butcheries, to defend his name and do his so called will.
They all proclaimed a righteous, kind and merciful God/Gods but all in their explicit doctrines (specifically a hell of forever torture of all who don't know these G-d/Gods/God99 of theirs having never heard of Him or from not being convinced that He is the CREATOR GOD) showed this G-d/Gods/God99 of theirs to be far from righteous but is actually irrationally savagely (aka brutally) vindictive, lusting to torture people (His creatures) to the maximum for no other reasons than because they have never heard of Him and therefore cannot believe in Him (because you can't believe in what you do not know or understand).
One of the so called Abrahamic religions even has their God99 tempting (i.e. behaving like Satan the Devil) His believers to carry out salvage violent carnages against His so called enemies by tempting these believing subscribers with forever sex orgies with copious dozens of virtual virgins in a so called heaven after they died (and only after they have died and not while they are still alive). Anyone with even a milligram of intelligent would think this God of theirs is more likely the Evil One than anyone who is good, righteous and merciful. Yet some around a billion people subscribe as the believing followers of this blasphemous religion, with most to nearly all of them extremely prone to insanity fueled violence and salvage murderous carnages.
This is not to say that the subscribing followers of the other two so called Abrahamic religions were any less prone to violence and salvage murderous rampages but just that they (mostly but not entirely) have 'mellowed' through the centuries from development in the world social order seeing them mostly losing their political clout and the associated power impunity to act in this manner.
All these religions, particularly and especially the so called Abrahamic religions, explicitly proclaim that their G-d, Gods, God99 is/are one or more of the following: good, righteous, just, loving, kind andor merciful. But they all also implicitly proclaim and explicitly teach (in their doctrines) that this G-d, Gods, God99 is/are evil, actually very, very evil, far from being just and merciful is actually vindictively, savagely and sadistically evil.
But then even many of the men of GOD in the Scriptures too did not think, believe or hold that GOD is good and righteous (especially at first when they were first called). Many to most of the men of GOD such as Abraham the Father of the Faithful did not believe or think of GOD as good and righteous. They hold to a GOD who is more or less like a man, with moods and can become angry and act in violent anger if displeased.
Especially during the Old Covenant period (before the New Covenant was instituted) the men of GOD held to a view of GOD who is more or less like a man (including ONE who looks like a man) not just physically but in HIS behaviors and conduct. This is of course, the views of pagan religions which are all based (i.e. founded) on the religion invented by Nimrod and his wife.
If we were to examine all the pagan religions, as indeed all religions are pagans, invented by men or women, nearly all of them have God or Gods that are basically men and women (includes children) except attributed with some paranormal/supernatural powers and even some form of immortality (but not exactly immortality per see, as in unable to be harm or hindered by anything).
Also the Christian Holy Scriptures (in symbolism) often have GOD appearing as a MAN to the men of GOD such as Abraham and Moses. Even in vision of the Third Heaven given to the Prophets of GOD such as Isaiah and Ezekiel, the LORD GOD is portrayed or represented in visions as having 'the likeness with the appearance of a MAN (Ezekiel 1:26).
And above the firmament over their heads was the likeness of a throne, in appearance like a sapphire stone; on the likeness of the throne was a likeness with the appearance of a man high above
Ezekiel 1:26
In the book of Daniel chapter 7, the Prophet Daniel was given a vision of GOD and HIS CHRIST. Though the chapter does not explicitly describe GOD as having the 'likeness with the appearance of a man' it implied as much.
“I watched till thrones were put in place,
And the Ancient of Days was seated;
His garment was white as snow,
And the hair of His head was like pure wool.
His throne was a fiery flame,
Its wheels a burning fire;
Daniel 7:9
But all these do not have GOD as literally having the appearances of a man, these are visions and visions are meant to communicated a message. And visions use imageries familiar to men so that the message being communicated can be understood.
And I looked, and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth.
saying with a loud voice: “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain To receive power and riches and wisdom, And strength and honor and glory and blessing!”
Revelation 5:6, 12
For example in the vision (actually a very long series of visions) given to the Apostle John, JESUS CHRIST was shown in imagery as a LAMB who was slain having seven horns and seven eyes (Revelation 5:6, 12; 13:8). Now try and imagine how that imagery appeared to the Apostle John, but the message conveyed was that of JESUS CHRIST as the sacrificial LAMB of GOD who takes away the sin of the world and not that JESUS CHRIST was literally a dead (i.e. slain) baby mutant sheep standing before the Throne of GOD.
Even when Angels (the Spirit composed personages) is send to the men of GOD, they always appear in the likeness in appearance of (i.e. manifested as) a men but their appearance when shown (in visions) in the Third Heaven before GOD were very different. As also their construct on the Ark of the Covenant where they are shown to be in the likeness in appearance as men with wings. It however does not mean that is exactly how they look like.
Simply put the Spirit realm is very different from the physical realm where we all exist in. Firstly the Spirit realm is invisible to us, we can never perceive it at all unless it is manifested to us in our (physical) forms and likeness. Essentially then anyall things of the Spirit realm which we see or perceive (as recorded in the Scriptures) are basically manifestation or imagery which has no actual resemblance to what they 'actually' look like.
Our reality is three dimensional, it is conceivable that the Spirit realm is more than three dimensional (possibly four dimensional) so nothing in our realm can be use to accurately gives us a visual or imagery of how the Angels actually look like.
Another thing about the Spirit realm, it is populated entirely of the Spirit composed personages. There are no such thing as the earthly equivalent of object such as furniture, vehicles, appliances or even other lifeforms as plants and animals.
And as the Spirit realm is to us of the earthly realm, so is GOD to those of the Spirit realm. They can't really see GOD except as HE manifest HIMSELF to them. That is the reason these Spirit composed personages, they being unable to see earth from the Third Heaven where most of them are based, they (most of them anyway) think and hold the view that GOD also cannot see the earth from HIS Throne (which is actually on Cherubim). Or at least that is what the Scriptures (seem to have) disclosed or revealed as such (Genesis 18:20 – 21; Job 1:6 – 7, 2:1 – 2).
For the same reason the Spirit composed Angels think or hold that GOD is very similar to them, which has been why Satan the Devil believes that he can overthrow GOD and replace HIM (Isaiah 14:12 – 14) if he can muster enough of the Angels to his side.
What then is the form and shape of GOD? Well GOD is HOLY SPIRIT and HOLY SPIRIT is GOD. Everything that exist including the Spirit realm (and all the Spirit composed Angels) exist within GOD (Acts 17:28; Colossians 1:17). But that does not mean that GOD is in everything.
for in Him we live and move and exist, as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we also are His descendants
Acts 17:28 (NASB)
Here is an example. If you happen to swallow a coin or a marble, the coin or marble is within you but it does not mean that you are in or within the coin or marble. There is still a separation between you and the coin and marble.
Essentially mankind including all the Elect of GOD ( of the Old Covenant era and also of the New Covenant period) hold to a view that GOD has a form (or shape) that is like man. Nearly all of those of the Elect of GOD during the Old Covenant period hold this view, as also almost of those of the Elect of GOD during the New Covenant era.
That was the exact view of the first Messenger to the Church of GOD in Philadelphia which he literally proclaimed. He actually proclaimed that GOD looks exactly like JESUS CHRIST when HE was a man. And most of the Elect from then to this day still hold this view.
But what he in deliberated stupidity ignored was when (i.e. after) JESUS CHRIST rose from the dead, HE appeared to HIS disciples in many other forms (no doubt still in the form of a man) which was why on a few occasions when HE appeared to them they could not recognize that it was HIM (Mark 16:12; John 20:14 – 15, 21:4 – 7, 9 – 12).
This I will say from what little I know, GOD does not have any form which this physical realm of ours has the concepts and imaginaries to be able to define or visualize.
And just as it is with how we (i.e. both mankind and the Spirit composed Angels) view GOD as alike or similar to us (in form), also we tend to view or think of GOD as like us in conduct and behavior, not fully appreciating the concepts of good, righteousness and Holiness. Even the Scripture's term translated as 'perfect' (Psalm 18:30; Matthew 5:48) of the original text, Hebrew [tā·mîm H8549], Greek [teleios G5046], have not been understood by nearly everyone who reads and ponders on it (and never mind all those who didn't, for either or both).
Abraham actually challenged GOD to demand that GOD should not be evil (i.e. be unrighteous) to destroy the righteous with the wicked. While Abraham did this because he was concerned about his cousin, Lot, who had lusted almost uncontrollably to dwell among the wicked (turning back or returning to his old life before he left Haran with Abraham), loving the conveniences of living in the city despite that the place were filled to overflowing with the perversely wicked (2 Peter 2:7 – 8).
But Abraham's manner of addressing this expose his beliefs (or rather understanding) of GOD as not ONE who is (particularly) just, good and righteous. Of course, there is another reason Abraham spoke in this manner to GOD which we shall not discuss here but in some other post and discussion. It nonetheless exposed how Abraham thought of GOD from the context of GOD being righteousness (and good), what types of ideas he had about GOD.
And Abraham came near and said, “Would You also destroy the righteous with the wicked? Suppose there were fifty righteous within the city; would You also destroy the place and not spare it for the fifty righteous that were in it? Far be it from You to do such a thing as this, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous should be as the wicked; far be it from You! Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?”
Genesis 18:23 – 25
Remember Abraham was an idol worshiping pagan before GOD called him and told him to leave his home to go to the land of the Canaan. So Abraham idea of GOD, what and how HE is like, would be mostly based on ideas from paganism. That would explain the manner he chose to address GOD rather than getting straight to the point that he was concerned about Lot who was living in Sodom and Gomorrah.
Now Job, probably the most righteous man who ever lived, actually believe that GOD is just which was why he felt he needed to argue his case with GOD. So when GOD allowed Satan the Devil to severely afflict and torment Job, no doubt this gives Job the feeling of being wrong (on account that he did nothing evil to bring all these horrors and affliction upon him) which then led him to accuse GOD of having wrong him (i.e. did him an injustice).
It also expose a lot of Job's thought on the matter of GOD being good, righteous and just. For one it shows that Job actually believe that GOD is just and righteous despite him accusing GOD of having wrong him. But because he felt that he was unjustly afflicted, he ultimately was provoke to lash out at the ONE who rules supreme over everything and everyone.
The argument that Job had with his three so called friends also exposed (as is one of the main point or purpose to the Book of Job) that people who believe and hold that they fear God would brazenly lie about GOD what HE is like (in how HE conduct HIMSELF towards others, particularly to all those who are wicked), thinking and believing that GOD would be pleased with (and will praise and reward) them for their deliberated stupidity lies so as to explicitly flatter HIM.
This is not too different from when all those of the so called Abrahamic religions particularly, would go in a frenzy of brutal violence and carnage every time they feel or believe (whether valid or not) that someone has attacked, insulted or blasphemed their religions, the proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives of their religions andor their G-d/Gods/God99.
If you will believe the account of Moses and how GOD gave the nation of Israel HIS commandments and laws in the Covenant that HE made with them at Horeb, then by any reckoning the record of the Christian Holy Scriptures must be around three thousand six hundred years old.
Throughout the first two thousand of those years these Scriptures commonly known today as the "the Old Testament" (i.e. the Old Covenant Scriptures) were the basis of the faith of the ancient Israelites and the Jews, and after that part of the Christian faith (which includes the New Covenant Scriptures. Isn’t that what the record of history and of the Scriptures testified to?
Yet (even) the ancient nations of Israel and Judah (who received HIS commandments at Mount Sinai where they entered into the Old Covenant accepting HIM as their GOD) rarely believed the basis of their faith the Old Covenant Scriptures. Among all the kings of those ancient nations, only a few were partially faithful to the Old Covenant they were under, and even fewer were completely obedient to the terms of that Covenant and the laws of their faith to continue on in the Covenant their forefathers made with the CREATOR, their BENEFACTOR and GOD.
That was the reason both nations went into captivity, because the persistently broke their Covenant with the LORD GOD which gave them the Promised Land as their inheritance. Even as the kingdom nation of Judah later was restored (but the kingdom nation of Israel never was) to their land minus their former glory, the generations that followed after them reverted to the same disobedience (in disrespecting GOD, changing HIS commandments and laws as they see fit) that saw their forefathers carried off as captives to Babylon.
While most of their fathers out rightly rejected the laws and their Covenant with GOD, the Jews who returned (from their after their Babylonian captivity) twisted the laws of their Covenant according to their self expedient agenda.
So even as they paid lip services to their covenanted laws and to honoring the Mont Sinai Covenant by which their ancestors inherited the Promised Land, they never faithfully kept them but instead twisted and changed them just as the Christmas religion that claimed to be Christian have been doing throughout the centuries until this very day.
Therefore the Lord said:
“Inasmuch as these people draw near with their mouths
And honor Me with their lips,
But have removed their hearts far from Me,
And their fear toward Me is taught by the commandment of men
Isaiah 29:13 Because of the same bad faith the ancient nations of Israel, Judah (the Jews) and the disciples of the Christmas religion were never able to know (much less to love) the GOD of the Scripture of Truth despite all their platitudes and avowed devotion. That was and still is the reason none of these ever did believe the testimony of these Scriptures.
Both the Jews of today as well as the whole of the Christmas religion have never ever believed, they all have their own preferred twist to the messages of the Holy Christian Scriptures, their own interpreted version contrary to what was actually recorded. This is so even for the very plain and straight forward records never mind the slightly more difficult ones hidden in parables, symbols and poetic structures.
For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men—the washing of pitchers and cups, and many other such things you do.”
He said to them, “All too well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition. For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’ But you say, ‘If a man says to his father or mother, “Whatever profit you might have received from me is Corban”—’ (that is, a gift to God), then you no longer let him do anything for his father or his mother, making the word of God of no effect through your tradition which you have handed down. And many such things you do.”
Mark 7:8 – 13
Mark 7:8 – 13
This is also true of many other religions that trace their faith to either the ‘accepted’ Jewish religious text or the full texts of the Christian Holy Scriptures (Genesis to Revelation).
Near all the adherents of these religions openly and explicitly proclaim of a righteous, merciful and loving God but if you were to examine their doctrines in total frank objective analysis you will find an implicit, deceptive proclamation of a harsh, unreasonable, ego centric, sadistic and even vindictive God. They also implicitly proclaimed a powerless, clueless, flip-flopping unstable, compromising God desperately trying to fix His creation gone awry while His arch enemy ran circles around Him.
In this discussion we will go through some of the many attributes of the GOD of the Scripture of Truth that we may know and understand to completely trust HIM building the faith to love HIM as HE loved us: HIS creatures made in HIS image and likeness.
So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God.
Matthew19:17; Mark 10:18; Luke 18:19
Matthew19:17; Mark 10:18; Luke 18:19
Now that is quite simple but here also is where the problem is because the whole world of mankind have no clue what is actually meant when the Scriptures recorded that JESUS said, 'No one is good but One, that is, GOD'. Everyone has their own take on the phrase 'GOD is good' as the word or term 'good' is a general word with many contexts. The concept of the word is of desirable attributes or properties, that which is beneficial or of benefit.
Your idea is good; this food is good; exercise is good; the times are good; this is a good sword, spear, bow or arrow; you did good; he is a good friend; etc.
How about you (the reader) then, do you know what was meant in that verse spoken by JESUS CHRIST?
When JESUS said that only GOD alone is good, HE was contrasting the concept of the term 'good' versus 'evil' (Psalm 14:2 – 3, 54:2 – 3; Romans 3:10 – 12). So what HE meant was that GOD alone is good with no evil in HIM at all. This is of course from the context of intents in one's conducts, behaviors and actions (includes communication)
That would mean that it is about being righteous, being just (and equitable), being kind (and caring) and being merciful. And this is the number one and most important attribute of GOD.
It is a very simple thing. If you are not righteous (aka unrighteous) how then are you not evil? If you are not just (aka unjust) how then are you not evil? If you are not kind and caring, it just mean that you are unkind and uncaring, how then are you good and not evil? And if you are not merciful and forgiving but vengeful and vindictive, how then are you good and not evil?
The next most important attribute of GOD is another term that should not be difficult to understand for it is a very simple word or term, and this is that GOD is truth (John 14:6; 4:24), is about truth.
When HE asked by Pilate, if JESUS was a king, JESUS CHRIST said: “You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.” (John 18:37)
Pilate then said to Him, “What is truth?” (John 18:37) as if it is a vague or meaningless word or term. And that has been the manner of mankind from since the Garden and Eden when Adam and Eve chose in lust seeded, fueled and driven deliberated stupidity to not believe GOD who created them and gave them all they ever need and could reasonable want, to believe a strange talking snake (i.e. serpent) for no other reason than that they lusted uncontrollably to.
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
John 14:6
JESUS CHRIST said that HE is the Truth, the very expression and embodiment of truth.
God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.
John 4:24
He is the Rock, His work is perfect;
For all His ways are justice,
A God of truth and without injustice;
Righteous and upright is He.
Deuteronomy 32:4
So that he who blesses himself in the earth
Shall bless himself in the God of truth;
And he who swears in the earth
Shall swear by the God of truth;
Because the former troubles are forgotten,
And because they are hidden from My eyes.
Isaiah 65:16
But what is truth (from the perspective of GOD and the Christian Holy Scriptures), do you know? Does any one actually know?
From our perspective, the perspectives of us the creatures, truth is anything that is valid as an expression of and in reality, all things that are real and valid, as well as those that are an actuality of something that really took place (i.e. had/has happened) andor are taking place or is happening (as a process with the passage of time).
But GOD's perspective is a much, much larger and way more real than ours which is just a temporary reality which GOD will replace with permanent one (Isaiah 65:17, 66:22; 2 Peter 3:13; Revelation 21:1) once this temporary one has served its purpose for the perfecting (i.e. completing) us the creature as Holy Sons of GOD.
Our reality is created by GOD and therefore is a subset of the whole reality, the reality that is GOD. GOD is both the ultimate reality as well as the default of the whole reality (of existence, of all that exist as oppose to all that don't exist). Every thing outside of that default reality is a created reality, something that GOD created and therefore is a subset of the default, true and full reality of GOD.
Therefore truth from our perspective is all that GOD have created, established, instituted and ordained. Everything else which GOD has not created, established, instituted and ordained are therefore not things that are valid, true andor real but are imaginary, unreal (i.e. not real or actual) and are essentially fictions (things fantasized and made up) or lies (i.e. deceptions conceived to deceive and to manipulate us into believing in things that are not real or actual).
The HOLY SPIRIT is the SPIRIT of truth.
“But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me.
John 15:26
However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.
John 16:13
This is the One who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood. It is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.
1 John 5:6
Actually the very first (according to chronology in the Scriptures) attribute of GOD ALMIGHTY, recorded and revealed in the Scriptures (Genesis 1:1) was the term 'GOD [’elohiym]' having the meaning of one who holds and wields power (whether power inherent or power derived).
In the beginning God created the Heavens and the earth
Genesis 1:1
The word or term GOD (i.e. Original Text: ’elohiym), is synonymous with POWER particularly as the ONE who have (absolute) power. In modern English usage the term 'power' is use very generally as: having the ability or capability to do things (including to communicate); as having control, authority or influence over others; as strength, might or force; as ability to produce an effect or cause a change; and in Physics as the amount of energy transferred or converted per unit time equated to time rate of doing work or delivering energy.
And power is all that and more. It is the force (aka POWER) that enables reality, the DEFAULT (i.e. the Be-all-end-all) of reality. That is what Genesis 1 verse 1 recorded that in the beginning 'POWER' created the heavens and the earth.
In a parallel track (at even earlier point, the earliest point in the Christian Holy Scripture) in John 1 verse 1 recorded the same.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
John 1:1 – 3 (KJV)
In that verse the word or term of the original text in Greek is 'Logos [G3003]' as in one who communicates, speaks or says, as well as what is communicated, spoken, or said.
The context for those verses are in Psalm 33 verse 6 and other similar verses.
By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, And all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.
Psalm 33:6
Psalm 33:6
This is from a contextual sense as literally it is the HOLY SPIRIT which causes the effect (i.e. cause everything to be created or made).
You send forth Your Spirit, they are created; And You renew the face of the earth.
Psalm 104:30
Form our context and perspective, this means that GOD is all powerful. But of course it is not just from our context and perspective. Because besides and outside of GOD, there is nothing else. GOD is all there is, GOD is all of reality and the cause to (i.e. HE created) our reality, our existential realm where we exist), so literally and conceptually, GOD is all powerful in the absolute, absolute sense. HE is the only POWER that brought about (brought into existence) all other power whether the Spirit composed Angels or all things made of 'dust'.
This means that there is nothing (real) at all absolutely which GOD cannot do. But it does not mean that GOD will do anyall things. GOD will not compromise with HIS Truth and HIS goodness and righteousness. So there are things that HE will not do so much so that it can be said that 'it is impossible for GOD to do them'.
For example, GOD cannot lie because HE absolutely, simply will not. Nor will GOD contradict HIMSELF (because HE is actually absolutely intelligent and totally not stupid) to do anything that will nullify or make pointless HIS purpose in all that HE had purpose to do when HE brought the creatures and the creation into existence. Contrary to all of the evil blasphemous doctrines of the evil so called Abrahamic religions as well as the proclamations of the proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives of GOD whose hearts are lifted up higher than the highest heaven, GOD is neither evil nor stupid nor a contradiction.
And as GOD is all of reality, so too with HIM being all powerful (i.e. omnipotent), HE too is all everywhere (omnipresence) and being all everywhere (and all powerful) HE too is all knowing (omniscience), all in the absolute sense. Very simply, being all powerful also means being all knowing and all everywhere, otherwise (i.e. without being all everywhere and all knowing) one cannot be all powerful, it is a contradiction of terms.
The term all knowing (i.e. omniscience) means knowing everything in the absolute, absolute sense, such that nothing at all absolutely is unknown. That means absolute, absolute intelligence. Not just knowing all there is to know, but all that is possible to be known.
And being absolutely, absolutely intelligence (and not cluelessly clueless or massively stupid, contrary to all the evil blasphemies taught by all the evil blasphemous so called Abrahamic religions as well as have been the proclamations of the proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives of GOD whose hearts are lifted up higher than the highest heaven) GOD also cannot (because HE will not, obviously because HE is not stupid) be evil, or do evil absolutely.
Because only the cluelessly clueless and the massively stupid would do evil (i.e. take to the path of evil in their expression of life in order to get all that they lusted after including lusting to be the greatest of the greatest and to rule supreme). Because evil is a destructive force not a creative one. Evil is the ultimate destroyer of (ultimately bringing misery, death and destruction to) all things. The whole creation (both the Spirit realm and Physical realm) from its beginning to this day bear testimony to this fact and truth.
But some super genius will say, 'you need to destroy evil in order to do and preserve and protect good'. And that is true. Have you heard of the double negative? It makes a positive.
Saying 'I will not, not do that' means that you will do that. So to destroy evil is to do good. To destroy the destroyer is to save those things from being destroyed. So don't be stupid (i.e. deliberately pretend stupidity). Know that the definition of evil and wicked (according to the Scripture of Truth, and exactly defined in this work) is not that of not destroying but of causing harm.
And this not causing harm is restricted to a context. And the context is of doing something harmful to the overall welfare and wellbeing, all those who seek for good of those within relationship context. That is why essentially, the Scripture of Truth is about relationship, the interpersonal relationship of the intended creature personages (i.e. all those who love good and seek good of one another) in that they do not seek to harm, so as never to harm one another.
Within this context of not causing harm, it is about seeking good towards one another, all the constructive (as opposed to destructive) attributes includes caring and nurturing kindness, forgiveness of wrongs (as opposed to acrimony) and always doing and seeking for the good, welfare and wellbeing of one another (all and sundry, the evil doers not necessarily included unless they can be completely turned from their evil ways). That is of having goodwill towards one another.
Therefore those are necessarily the attributes of our CREATOR and GOD who is the only ONE is actually and truly good. All others (i.e. the creatures) that will do good is only because HE is and HE will ultimately (in the final great Judgment) destroyed all those who will not.
