Return To:  The Basics Of God
Church of God, New World Ministries

The majority of today’s “christians” do not understand the basics of God!

As far back as I can remember I have heard about GOD. I heard jokes about God. I heard his name taken in vain. I heard he would get me if I was bad. I heard that he was one member of a triumvirate consisting of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. I remember hearing arguments in school from my classmates and teachers that God was the Creator while others claimed we evolved from green slime or emerged from a spark of life originating from a “Big Bang” in space, denying the existence of God altogether.

Some claim he was the greatest teacher that ever lived. Many lost their lives trying to follow his teachings while others blaspheme his name. Some believe he came to take away the sins of the world. Others believe his death paid the price for our sins and all future sins—thus allowing us to sin prodigiously and still remain under his “grace”. He is alleged to have taken away the burden of the Law by dying on the stake -- replacing that old legalistic law with peace, grace, mercy and love. Some groups teach he came to magnify and enforce the Law.

Numerous scriptures in the Bible refer to God. He is referred to as Eternal, Immutable, Invisible, Incomprehensible, Unsearchable, Omniscient, Omnipresent, Holy, and Jealous. In John the first chapter Jesus is referred to as the Word and as God. John says the Word is with God and is God. “Is That Really In There?” Absolutely! And, in Genesis chapter thirty two and verse thirty Jacob is quoted as having seen God face to face. In the New Testament John under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit said, “No man has seen God at any time.” (John 1:18). Which is correct? Is there an explanation?

Is He Eternal? Where did He come from? Is He really one member of a triumvirate (Trinity)? If so, who and what are the other members? What is He made of? Is he flesh and blood? What does He look like? Can He die? Did He die and was he resurrected? Where does He live? Did He really inspire the Bible? Is Jesus God? If so, who is the Father he told us to pray to? Has anyone really ever seen God? Is He the creator? If not, where did we come from? Does God have a Plan? Is He losing His battle with Satan to save men’s souls?

You are probably just as I was -- you have heard about God all your life but did not really understand who and what he is!
