God created the heavens, the earth and everything that lives.

He made humankind in his image, and gave them charge

over the earth.
THE POSSIBILITY OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD
The Bible gives witness to two facts regarding the knowledge God. First, it teaches us that God is incomprehensible, and
but then it also declares that God is knowable. Both are true, but not in an absolute sense. To say that God is
incomprehensible simply means that finite man cannot know everything there is to know about God who is an infinite
being. To say that God is knowable means that, though incomprehensible, God can be known and man can grow in the
knowledge of God, at least in a limited sense and to the degree that is needed for man to trust God and have a personal
and growing relationship with Him.

Job 11:7 (NET)

11:7 Can you discover the essence of God? Can you find out the perfection of the Almighty?
No doctrine or aspect of theology is more basic than the doctrine of God, sometimes referred to as Theology Proper. Since
the term theology (the study of God) is often used of the study of other biblical subjects like the Bible, angels, man,
salvation, and so on, Theology Proper is the designation sometimes used for just the study of God Himself. Rather than an
exhaustive treatment, the study which follows is designed to be a general overview of the key features of what the Bible
teaches about God, His existence, Persons, and attributes of the Triune GodFather, Son, and Holy Spirit. Here is an
essential part of the foundation needed for solid spiritual growth and insight into life in general and into the Christian life
in particular.

The question "Who is God?" is a good question. It is better than asking "What is God?" This is because God exists,
created us, loves us, is concerned for our being, desires to provide for us, and sent the Son to redeem us. If we
were to ask "What is God?", we might be tempted to say that God is the infinite being, the creator, a presence, or
something like that. In some respect, this would be true. But the first question "Who is God?" brings us closer to
understanding more of who God really is in His character and His love for us as revealed in the Bible.The Bible
teaches us that in all existence, from all eternity, there has been and always will be only one God. God was never
created, is completely loving, completely just, completely holy, completely merciful, and that He desires the best for
us. God is holy and He can have nothing to do with sin as the Bible says, "His eyes are too pure to look upon
evil," (Hab. 1:13). This does not mean that God cannot see what someone does that is wrong. It is a way of
describing how holy God is. God cannot sin. He is perfect.In Christianity, God is a Trinity. This means that God is
three persons, not three gods. Technically, the doctrine of the Trinity states that in the one God is the person of the
Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Each is not the same person as the other; yet there are not three gods but
one. This is similar in analogy to the nature of time. Time is past, present, and future. The past is not the same as
the present, which is not the same as the future. But, there are not three times. There is only one thing called
time.The reason the word "person" is used in describing the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit is because each
exhibits attributes of personhood -- not in a body of flesh and bones, but in personality. In other words, each has a
will, loves, speaks, is aware of others, communicates with others, etc. These are attributes of personhood and we
see the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit each demonstrate these qualities.Because of the Trinity, God can
become flesh in the form of the Son, and still exist in such a way so that He can run the universe. Therefore, the
Son can communicate to us on our level.Following are a couple verses that hint at the Trinity.

Matt. 28:19, "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the
Son and the Holy Spirit."
2 Cor. 13:14, "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with
you all."The Bible says there is only one God: "I am the Lord, and there is no other; Besides Me there is no
God," (Isaiah 45:5). Yet, the Bible teaches that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are each called God.Below is a very
brief chart that shows that each of the persons in the Trinity share the same attributes that only God shares. But
remember, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit each have wills, and speak, etc.
Existence of God Why should there be such doubtsuch confusionabout the existence of God? For thousands of
years, people have debated whether God exists. Most conclude that it cannot be provenone way or the other. It is
surmised that the correct answer lies in the area of abstract philosophy and the metaphysical.Others become agnostics,
asserting that they dont know if God exists. Those who do accept Gods existence often do so passively, merely because
they were taught it from childhood. Some do not even care. Such people probably cannot be moved from their
apathy.Atheists have concluded that God does not exist. These people represent a special category that God describes as,
The fool has said in his heart, There is no God (Psa. 14:1). This scripture is repeated inPsalm 53:1. What follows will
explain why God calls atheists fools.Over 45 years ago, I learned of absolute proof that God exists. My studies lasted
two-and-a-half years. I came to realize that I did not have to accept His existence on faith. Since that time, science has
learned much more and the case for Gods existence has become far stronger than at any time in history.This Personal
presents numerous absolute, immutable proofs that God does exist. After reading it, you will never again doubt the answer
to this greatest of questions! Some proofs will amaze you. Others will inspire you. Still others will surprise or even excite
you. All of them will fascinate you with their simplicity. We will first examine some traditional proofs and then consider
material that rests on the cutting edge of scientific understanding, before returning to established proofs. You will learn
from biology, astronomy, chemistry and mathematics.
What Science Tells UsBe willing to examine science. As we reason, do not suppose or hope. Stand on indisputable facts.

We will see facts from a broad array of different kinds of science. They will demonstrate that an all-powerful Supreme
Being, of infinite intelligence, carefully provided more than sufficient proof to remove all doubt that He exists.The Bible is
Gods instruction to mankind. He expects all who are willing to read it to, Prove all things; hold fast that which is good ( I
Thes. 5:21). Surely this God would not then expect us to assume His existence while instructing us to prove everything
else from His Word!

Before beginning this study, remember, assumptions do not count! Neither do superstitious myths or traditions based on
ignorance! What can be known from science? Only accept facts. Think rationally and clearly. Then accept what can be
proven!
