WHO IS GOD?

Dear fellow travelers.

  I say “Merry Christmas”, also accepting that that this for many is a holiday season, and I pray they are happy within. I begin the season with sharing a past DT lest we forget Christmas, though transition time for many, is existent for Christians. Please do read on, look up the Bible references, contemplate what they tell us about God.

WHO IS GOD?

Monday, February 22, 2016

  Cousin Tonda dwells 1300 miles, 2091.7 kilometers from Omaha NE. Though we have never physically met, we are dual family: Genealogical cousins, Biblical siblings. Friday she entitled me as one of 3 participants in her seminary assignment due on February 28^th. “Who is God? Your answer could be short or long … on point or way off topic. My project is to simply record or write-down your answer.”

  Number 1 point the short answer leading the longer list:

1.                   God is Jehovah, absolute Sovereign Creator and Sustainer of all existed, existent, and ever shall be.
