God is the eternal, unchanging, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent being who existed prior to the cosmos, brought the cosmos into existence, and rules as its undisputed Ruler (cf. Col 1:17). He possesses a will, intellect, and emotions; He transcends all natural conceptions of physical reality yet is also immanent within physical reality. His essence and nature preclude the possibility of understanding Him fully, but He reveals many of His attributes by means of the created universe and His Word.
Thank you and wow! That sounds like the most omni, mega, maximus being one could imagine.
But, honestly, it does still sound like a blank check sort of description - the biggest, mostest .. whatever that might turn out to be. Oh, and just in case you're still taking village elder input I thought I'd fill one out too as soon as I get an odd minute available.
Shhhhsh! Don't say that. Someone will mention Anselm and we'll be explaining why you can't define something into existence for days.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
