We Need the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Who is He? By Scipio

“God the Father is eternal.  He outdates time and is wholly independent of it. Time began in Him and will end in Him.  To it He pays no tribute and from Him it He suffers no change.  He cannot become more perfect.  He is omniscient.  He knows in free and effortless awareness all matter, all spirit, all relationships, and events.  He has no past and He has no future. He is and none of the limiting and qualifying terms used by creatures apply to Him.  Love and mercy and righteousness are His, and only holiness so ineffable that no comparisons or imagination will avail to express it. ONLY FIRE can give even a remote conception of it.  God is back of all, above all. Before all is God: the first sequential order, above in rank and station, exalted in dignity and honor.  The self-existent One.  He gave being to all things, and all things exist out of Him and for Him.”
