How would I describe the ONE God?

[Ps82]

I've tried to understand God's essence. Yes, I think he has essence, but it is like invisible attributes.

So I'll list my thoughts like this:
He is alive/LIFE
with Power
with power comes movement
with movement comes learning
with learning comes thinking
with thinking comes plans
with plans and power comes creativity

Since I believe the first one I listed to be true then, I believe all these invisible attributes are equally alive; therefore,
As we list other attributes like:
His voice/The WORD
His Love
His Anger
His Mercy
and so forth ...
Then I believe these invisible attributes are HIM and were/are with HIM from eternity.

We are not told of some beginning of God just Moses described our beginning.

YET, the invisible God accomplished a wonderful thing through his energy: He said Let there be LIGHT. And in THAT LIGHT was life.

THAT LIGHT is so strong that humanity has never been able to behold it in all it's glory ... too dangerous.

The the invisible God created an image for his personal use and it dwelt within that powerful LIGHT.

I Timothy 6:14-26
One day our risen Savior, Lord Jesus, will introduce us saints to the one whose image is able to dwell within that LIGHT. We will be immortal and will see him as he appears as our Heavenly Father.

15 Which in his (our risen Lord's) times he (Lord Jesus) shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and LORD of lords;
16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling (visibly) in the LIGHT which no (mortal) man can approach unto; (THAT LIGHT) whom no man hath seen, nor can see (in all its power and glory): (The ONE God and LORD) to whom be honor and power everlasting. Amen

Now, to whom will the Lord Jesus introduce us saints? The ONE we will finally be able to see in all his glory?

 

[Ps82]

Did some of you catch these ideas?

1.) The WORD is one of God's attributes and because of this The WORD is alive, is God and was with God simultaneously as God.

2.) The POWER is one of God's attributes and because of this The POWER is alive, is God and was with God simultaneously as God.

3.) In the least The WORD and The POWER came as our Savior to spread God's good news and to raise our Lord's body from the Dead.

4.) In the least The WORD and The POWER of God was to become our gift to raise us spiritually and bodily after the likeness of what Christ went through as the first.

This was a big part of God's plan from the beginning regarding mankind's salvation.

Perhaps some others would like to add to the list of the invisible attributes of God, which would be alive in him, with him, and HIM simultaneously.

G = x is God
Gf = the Father is God
Gs = the Son is God
Gh = the Holy Spirit is God
f ≠ s
f ≠ h
s ≠ h

Pxy = x proceeds from y
Nxy = x generates y

Phf

Nfs
Nfh

Bxy = x is begotten of y

Looks like it is just you and me. Of course I disagree with you beginning with this: F does not equal S ...
The truth is they are both Spiritually God.

I will give you this point to a measure: God The Father appeared with a super-natural angelic sort of presence where God The Son was seen in a look-a-like-body but of lesser glory due to flesh.

Still, they had the same image ... just different glory.

So you sound like a modalist.

 

[Ps82]

BTW God's image is not God. God is invisible ... God created an / one image for his use in appearing within his creations.

Even we human's are not our bodies nor our bodies us. If we lose legs and arms we still exist. We can be seen by others with what is left of our image ... but it's our invisible essence which still lives. Scripture even suggests that when our visible form is dead that our spirits live on and even go to designated places... Abraham's Bosom, Hell, Heaven. Maybe the pit for angels??? And then there is the Lake of Fire.

Have any reading this post ever read in Psalm 139:12? David is talking about the Greatness of God.
12 ... even the darkness is not dark to you (God) The night shines like the day; darkness and light are alike to you (God).

This points to God's attributes of being an invisible Spirit who is omni-present. Night to him is like day to us. We need light to behold things ... but God the Spirit is aware of everything !!!! simply because in him are all things ... created ... powers and so forth. That's how he knows how many hairs are on a person's head.

He doesn't need light to see ... but he proclaimed LIGHT be because he had a plan in the beginning.

What was the purpose or who was that LIGHT with a purpose? John 1:6-9
The writer of the book of John was telling us two things.
a. The author wanted us to know who John the Baptist was and was not.
b. The author wanted us to know what John the Baptist taught (while he was alive) about Jesus's identity.

The author put things this way:
There was a man sent from God, whose named was John.
7 The same (John the Baptist) came for a witness to bear witness of The Light, that all men through him (the antecedent could be John the Baptist or That Light who came) might believe.
8 He (John the Baptist) was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light,
9 THAT (Light which) was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

I happen to consider when God said, "Let there be LIGHT," definitely one of the things on His mind was The Messiah who would appear in the world bearing the created image of God but with lesser glory.

The "image of God" is a figure of speech.
