The Nature and Attributes of God

The nature and attributes of God often center around qualities like omnipotence (all-powerful), omniscience (all-knowing), omnibenevolence (all-good), and transcendence (beyond the physical world). These attributes support various arguments for God's existence, such as the cosmological argument (everything that begins to exist has a cause) and the moral argument (objective moral values suggest a moral lawgiver). Together, these attributes characterize God as a perfect being, foundational to understanding existence, morality, and the universe's order. Hence, God is seen as necessary for explaining why anything exists and why we have a sense of right and wrong.
