No, my question is what kind of mental block do you have to have to utter such nonsense? Are you sure you're not related to Trump?

I listed four attributes. I would add Holy and sovereign. A study on the attributes of God would reveal how these are balanced with each other. For example, Holiness and justice have to be balanced with love and compassion.
Why do they have to be balanced? Is that in the bible also?
