Posting some study material on the Attributes of God.

Perhaps someone could use this. I encourage everyone to study who God is. Here are a couple short and long videos, some reference materials, and a book recommendation. Scripture Proofs below videos.









Book Recommendation:

I can absolutely use this. Thanks.

Get to know God. What a concept.
I would think if there was someone who I wanted to better understand, or be like, or represent, that first I would have had to get to know them.
Why would I think God is any different? Smack my big head please....
