This document discusses the importance of studying the attributes of God. It notes that knowing God leads to wisdom, while not knowing Him can lead to idolatry, sin, and death. Studying God's attributes allows us to better understand and know Him. The document outlines God's incommunicable attributes, which include infinity, eternality, immensity, self-existence, and immutability. It asserts that God's attributes are in perfect harmony and He is a singular, unique being without parts or limitations.

Attributes of God
C.S. Lewis writes that God has infinite attention for each individual person as if they were the only person God created. Though there are many people, God relates to each person with singular focus and care.
13th february 2016 Who is God
God exists as a loving Person who created humanity, desires a close relationship, and sent Jesus to redeem us. The Bible teaches that God is eternal and exists as the Trinity - the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each person exhibits attributes like will and personality. God is also holy, just, merciful, and forgiving. He invites relationship and wants us to know Him intimately through faith in Jesus, who paid for our sins through His death and resurrection.
22nd March 2017 - The infinite nature of God
God's infinite nature means He exists outside of time and space and is not limited. As infinite, God has no beginning or end. He has always existed and always will exist. God's infinity is demonstrated through His omniscience, omnipotence, and omnipresence. God's omniscience means He has unlimited knowledge of all things past, present and future. His omnipotence means He has unlimited power to do anything. His omnipresence means He is present everywhere at all times. Though God is infinite and we are finite, He has revealed Himself to us through creation, our conscience, the Bible and Jesus Christ so we can know and understand Him.

Theology I - God's Attributes: Sufficiency
God is completely self-sufficient and independent. He created all things but does not depend on creation. God needs nothing from his creation and is not influenced by outside factors. He is all-powerful and answers to no one. We as creation are entirely dependent on God for our existence, purpose, and well-being.
God's holiness, righteousness, justice.
God is uniquely holy, righteous, and just. His holiness represents His divinity and separates Him from humanity as the Creator. God is morally perfect with no evil or wrongdoing. Because of His holiness and righteousness, God cannot tolerate sin but designed a plan of redemption through Jesus to satisfy both His righteousness and love for humanity. Understanding God's justice and righteousness should help believers trust that He will always do what is right.
Names of God part 12 (El Elyon)
This document contains excerpts from Psalm 57 that praise God and express faith in him during times of distress. The psalmist cries out to God for refuge and deliverance from enemies who pursue him. He finds shelter in God's protection and promises to praise God among the nations for his great love and faithfulness from heaven. The excerpts express themes of taking refuge in God, trusting in his power above all things during difficult times, and magnifying him through song.
What does it mean to be made in God's image
The document discusses what it means for humans to be made in God's image based on Genesis 1:26-27. Some key aspects of being made in God's image include having a spirit, self-awareness, the ability to reason and use language, and being set above other creatures and given dominion over the Earth. Being made in God's image means that all humans have intrinsic worth and value to God, regardless of characteristics, and that we should treat ourselves and others with respect.
Why did God create us?
This document discusses how humans were created by God to glorify Him. It explains that glorifying God means honoring and praising Him in both our inner and outer lives. Some ways we can glorify God internally include reflecting on His attributes and having a relationship with Him through prayer. Externally, we can glorify God by living according to His principles, helping others, and showing love. The ultimate purpose for which we were created is to love God with our entire being.

During my meditation
The author describes a vision they had during meditation where they entered the spirit world and met God. God was giving personal counselling to people who had spiritual questions. When it was the author's turn, God invited them into his room and showed the author a notebook containing photos and names of spiritual followers, checking on one person's status. The author was moved by God's deep love and care for humanity. The experience gave the author insight into meditation and connecting with God.
Did you know that . . .
The document discusses the concept of God as a loving Father figure rather than a distant king or judge. It describes God as caring for each individual person and knowing their needs and sorrows. God is portrayed as an affectionate heavenly Father who guides humanity and wants the best for his children on Earth.
Vintage 10.3.21 the_bookofjob
1. The document discusses the story of Job from the Bible, who endured great suffering and loss but did not curse God. It examines how Job maintained his faith and integrity despite his wife urging him to curse God.
2. It notes how the story shows that suffering is not necessarily a sign of God's punishment or lack of faith, and that God's ways are higher than humans can understand.
3. The document suggests that like Job, believers should face hardship with humility, trusting that God is sovereign over all things even if God's reasons remain unknown.
Attributes of God
This document discusses the attributes of God, which are His essential properties that define His character. There are communicable attributes, like love and mercy, that humans share to a limited degree, and incommunicable attributes, like omnipresence and eternity, that are unique to God. The document examines each attribute and how believers should respond to learning about God's perfect nature, such as being humbled by His grace and assured by His sovereignty. Studying God's attributes helps believers better praise and understand Him.
WHY DO I FEEL THIS WAY...STILL?
ARE YOU FRUSTRATED BY WHAT YOU CAN'T SEEM TO CHANGE? EVER WONDER WHY YOU STILL FEEL THE SAME THINGS YOU DID BEFORE YOU CAME TO JESUS? MANY ARE AND TOO OFTEN THE MESSAGE IS THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH YOU! DON'T BELIEVE THAT ANY LONGER. READ THE TRUTH.
The word became flesh
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. - John 1:14
God's patience, mercy, grace
God is patient, merciful, and gracious in addition to being holy, righteous, and just. His patience is shown through delaying judgment to give people time to repent, such as waiting 120 years while Noah built the ark. God's love, kindness, and patience help lead people to repentance. God freely gives His grace and favor through salvation in Jesus Christ, though we are unworthy. The greatest examples of God's mercy and grace are seen through Jesus coming to die for humanity's sins so that we may be forgiven and redeemed.

Tues 5 Jan 16
This document contains prayers and readings for a Catholic mass focused on the Feast of the Holy Family. It includes an entrance antiphon welcoming Jesus, Mary and Joseph, as well as prayers, readings from the letters of John and Gospel, and concluding prayers praising God, Jesus, Mary and Joseph. The overall theme is celebrating the Holy Family through Catholic prayers and scripture readings.
No.6 God's plan of salvation, Part 2
God's plan of salvation involves three significant results: justification, adoption, and regeneration. Justification means God declares believers righteous because their sins were placed on Jesus. Adoption means believers become children of God and part of His family. Regeneration refers to being spiritually reborn or transformed as a new creation through faith in Christ. These gifts flow from God's costly love and save believers from sin and separation from God.
Names of God part 5 (Yahweh Sabaoth)
Greater is He who is for you, in you, and simply greater is He; He is Yahweh Sabaoth, Lord of Hosts.
Beauty lies in the eyes of the Beholder
This document discusses the concept of beauty from both physical and biblical perspectives. It explores how beauty is often defined based on outward appearances but the Bible shows beauty comes from within, through the condition of our hearts. While humans judge based on physical attributes, God looks at our inner spirit and sees attributes like love, mercy, and faithfulness as beautiful. The document encourages readers to see themselves as God sees them - focusing not on outward flaws but the inner gold of their character, and to accept God's forgiveness in order to walk in freedom as their true, beautiful selves.
Ch.07 god's missionary nature
God's nature is inherently missionary as he desires relationship with humanity. God revealed himself through Jesus Christ to reconcile people back to himself. The Bible teaches there is only one God, so all people must come to know the God of the Bible. The Trinity is a unique concept showing God exists as three persons in one. God the Father seeks to be known by all and loves all people. God works through the Holy Spirit to convict people and empower the church in its mission. God's ultimate purpose is to establish his kingdom and unite all things in Christ, which defines the church's purpose in joining God's mission.
Location of god unleashed
GOD is the creator of the universe and knows what will happen in the future, editing people's prayers to align with His will. There are diverse opinions on where GOD resides, with some saying the sky or that GOD is omnipresent. However, GOD actually resides in everyone's pure heart; one must make their heart pure to see GOD living there comfortably. Having faith and following a divine path will lead one to see GOD within by simply closing their eyes.
Repentance In Christian Conversion
Repentance In Christian Conversion
Repentance is an act by which we realise we have offended an Holy and righteous God; this act is characterised by a deliberate turn away from the sinful act(s) in question, begging for God’s forgiveness and turning to him and his ways. Repentance is also that window that opens for us to see what we are called to; this being that, we are to represent God’s living and working in human life; how the effects of sin’s offensive attack on God defeats this purpose and how it can be remedied by means of the lordship of God’s Spirit over man’s spirit, soul and body.
Salvation 1-2-3
1. Salvation is found only through Jesus Christ, who is the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to God except through him.
2. God showed his love for mankind by sending his Son, Jesus, to die as a sacrifice so that all may be saved. Man is saved through faith in Jesus and believing in his resurrection.
3. Man has a body, soul, and spirit. Salvation involves the salvation of each part: the spirit is saved through justification, the soul through sanctification, and the body will be saved through future glorification when it is resurrected and transformed.

Brochure - NEW REVELATION - About Body, Soul and Spirit - ed 1
The document discusses the human constitution of body, soul and spirit from the perspective of The New Revelation. It provides explanations of each component:
[1] The body is physical matter that exists separately within the infinite universe. Bodies can range greatly in density and composition.
[2] The spirit is an emanation from God that gives life and existence to all creation. Spirits bound within physical bodies drive their formation and change.
[3] The soul is the next stage, present in animate beings, where the spirit can express itself through a body and gain awareness. Soul life begins with primitive animals and movement allows for increasing intelligence.
Spiritual, soul and body
This document discusses the tripartite nature of man as consisting of spirit, soul, and body. It provides details on the functions and parts of each:
The spirit allows man to contact, receive, and contain God. The soul allows man to be an expression and reflection of God through its parts - the will, emotions, and mind. The body uses the five senses and is presented to God as a sacrifice, used for man's existence, and for reasonable service to himself, family, society, church, and God.
The document encourages prophesying to each part of man's being to understand its constitution and functions more fully.
Spirit Soul and Body
Man was created a tripartite. He is composed of spirit, soul and body. How man is composed explains why we had to be restored by a God Trinity.
Where does the spirit, soul and body reside after man's death? Man was made in the image of God, he is created to last for eternity. Reward or Judgment.

CHRISTIAN MYSTICISM
The document summarizes key aspects of Christian mysticism according to addresses given at the Sydney Unitarian Church. It describes mysticism as the direct experience of God, focusing on lasting union with God rather than transient experiences. Mysticism involves purification of the self to experience one's true self as God. It involves three stages - purification, contemplation in a "cloud of unknowing," and final union with God where separation dissolves. The mystical experience allows direct, unmediated communion with the divine oneness at the core of all beings.

1 What Is The Meaning And Purpose Of Life
The document discusses finding meaning and purpose in life. It suggests that we were created by God and for God, so God is the ultimate answer to questions about life's meaning. To know ourselves, we must know God, and to know God, we must know ourselves. The purpose of life is to love God and others. This life is a preparation for eternity with God in heaven.

Intimate knowledge of the holy spirit
This document contains a sermon by Charles Spurgeon about knowing the Holy Spirit. The sermon has two main points:
1. Believers know the Holy Spirit through believing Jesus' teachings about Him, experiencing His operations like conviction of sin and spiritual quickening, and having a personal relationship with Him.
2. Believers can only truly know the Holy Spirit through the Holy Spirit Himself revealing Himself to them, as no human means are adequate to reveal God. The Spirit must come into the heart and use His own power to give understanding of Himself.

It traces depictions of God from anthropomorphic to abstract, from a singular deity to one with both masculine and feminine energies, and from a God who directly intervenes to one understood through philosophical, mystical and personal conceptions. Key figures and works discussed include the Talmud, Maimonides, Kabbalah, Hasidism, Buber, Kaplan and feminist theology.
First
The document discusses the first commandment given by God - "You shall have no other gods before Me." It explains that God desires our complete love and devotion, not just our weekly church attendance or offerings. Jesus said the greatest commandment is to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind. The first commandment establishes that the one true God, who brought the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt, alone deserves our worship. Anything else we make a priority in our lives over God becomes an idol or "god" that we worship. The only object worthy of worship is the eternal God, as He alone can satisfy and save us.

Pope John Paul II gave a series of talks from 1979-1984 that were compiled into a book called "Theology of the Body" which discusses the human body and sexuality. The theology of the body studies God as revealed through our bodies, and how He created us male and female to image His love. It explores how in marriage we participate in a relationship with Christ the Bridegroom by giving our total self as a sincere and fruitful gift to our spouse.

Holy spirit lesson 2
This document discusses the role of the Holy Spirit in interceding for believers.

The Holy Spirit intercedes for believers with "groanings too deep for words." Commentators discuss what it means for the Holy Spirit to groan, and how this groaning corresponds to the groaning of creation and believers for redemption. The Holy Spirit comes alongside believers and carries part of their burden, helping them in their struggles against sin and suffering.
Talk two slides incarnation
This is the second talk on the incarnation in which Tony develops the expansive picture of how the incarnation defines and secures the ultimate destiny of humanity.

He finishes with a summary of probably the most sophisticated framework of the incarnation that the church has developed - Irenaeus' theory of recapitulation.
John 1
