Overview of Christianity

Christianity vs. All Others

God is the greatest of all living beings. There is none greater, and never can be. And yet Satan wanted something that could not be.

God saw this pattern and in eternity past, when He peered down through time, He saw that arrogance was going to be the greatest of the sins, and the biggest hindrance for people in seeing truth.

So, God created a plan such that arrogance could be countered and defeated.

God is one in essence and three in personality.

There is the Father, the Son and the Spirit. All three members of this Trinity are co-equal, co-eternal, and co-infinite. They all three possess the same identical essence characteristics. Of these there are ten essence characteristics - omniscience, omnipotence, omnipresence, immutability, veracity, righteousness, justice, love, sovereignty, and eternal life.

Omniscience - God knows everything, He knows all that is knowable, and all that is unknowable.

Omnipotence - God possesses unlimited power, there is no power greater, His ability and authority are unlimited and have no constraints.

Omnipresence - God exists beyond all spatial limitations, God has no limitations, He is everywhere simultaneously, God is immanent (His presence and essence exists everywhere), and transcendent (God is not contained nor confined by space or time, He is independent of the created universe).

Immutability - God is unchangeable, He is not susceptible to change, God possesses absolute stability, therefore His truth and essence are always reliable and perfect.

Veracity - Truth, God is truth, God means what He says and states only that which is truth.

Righteousness - perfect goodness, sinless in character and person.

Justice - perfect fairness, God knows all of the facts and reaches fair and perfect decisions.

Love - truth, God possesses divine love not dependent on emotion or circumstances, but on principle.

Sovereignty - God is the supreme ruler of all that exists in heaven and the universe, both inside and outside of creation.

Eternal Life - God is absolute existence, there was never a time when He did not exist, God has no beginning and no end.

Ok, so a long time ago, in eternity past, God looked down through time and saw all that angels and man would do or try to do, in order to become equal with or better than God.

This is something that is impossible and therefore is a lie. Believing such a lie will only lead to disaster for those who pursue the lie. Just as believing that jumping off a hundred story building will be ok, when it is not.

So, God, the Trinity, between them, set out a plan to disrupt arrogance and the lies that it produces.
