"God Is Impossible" Part 2--Defining YHWH

The next section of this article is another introductory one. YHWH is one of God's many names, so here we are also defining God. He has been given the attributes of omnipotent, omniscient, outside of time, outside of matter, beyond perfect, and eternal. He is also all-loving and each and every decision he makes is just.

He also created humans. We were once a perfect creation, but through deception on the part of the serpent (Satan) caused ourselves to become imperfect. God has given us the gift of redemption which, through Jesus's blood being shed for us on the cross, will give us the ability to spend eternity in heaven if we believe in Him, repent of our sins, and surrender our lives to God.

One point Evil Bible makes that is shown in the wrong like is Hell. They say all those who don't accept Him must go to Hell, which isn't necessarily wrong, but begs explanation. Hell is the only place with the absence of God's presence, which is why it is eternal torment. God ultimately is Holy, and imperfect humans that have not atoned for their sins cannot be in the presence of a Holy God. Lastly, Evil Bible ends this section with a mere insult, nothing needs said.

  1. "He has been given the attributes of omnipotent, omniscient, outside of time, outside of matter, beyond perfect, and eternal. He is also all-loving and each and every decision he makes is just." And this is true because....? There is no a priori reason to believe this any of this.
