## Biography

### Origin

As God is eternal, omniscient, and omnipresent, he has no date of creation. Nothing created God. If something is eternal, then nothing can create it. Due to His infinite nature, he is not reliant on anything for His own existence. If something is eternal, then nothing is needed to create or support it.

### Nature

The theology of the attributes and nature of God himself has been discussed since the earliest days of the Church, though no human could hope to fully comprehend him. He is both independent and removed from the material universe and yet directly involved in it at the same time.

#### The Trinity

The doctrine of the Trinity is considered by most Christians to be a core aspect of their faith. It says that one God exists as three persons, of one substance. It is a mystery that cannot be understood by human thought alone, but still could be explained with rational thinking.

##### God the Father

God the Father is the first person within God. He is the creator, also called Yahweh within the Old Testament, and the God of Christ in the New Testament. He is also called "The Father" because of His creational relationship with the universe. While the view of God as the Father is used in the Old Testament, it only became a focus in the New Testament, as Jesus (The Son) frequently referred to him as such. Jesus' special relationship with the Father showed the importance of the distinctly seperate and yet unified nature of Jesus and the Father, showing the unity of the Father and the Son in the Trinity. God the Father is the origin of both the Son and the Holy Spirit, and is the eternal source of holy power.

##### God the Son

God the Son, also known as Jesus Christ, is the second person within God. A number of titles have been attributed to Jesus, including The Messiah and the Son of God. According to the Gospels, Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born from the Virgin Mary, His earthly mother chosen by God. The Biblical accounts of Jesus' ministry include His baptism, miracles, and teachings. The gospels also place significant emphasis on the death of Jesus, namely the last week of His life. Through the death and resurrection of Jesus, sinful humans can be reconciled to God and are offered salvation and the promise of eternal life.

Jesus is God incarnate, and both true God and true man. Jesus, having become fully human in all aspects, suffered the pains and temptations of a mortal man, yet he did not sin. As fully God, he defeated death and rose to life again.

##### God the Holy Spirit

Tthe Holy Spirit is the final of the three divine persons of the Trinity that make up the single God. The Spirit is considered to act in alongside the other two and shares an essential nature with both God the Father and God the Son.

The Holy Spirit is usually referred to as the "Third Person" of God, with the Father being the first and the Son the second. The Holy Spirit resides within the faithful and helps them to live a righteous life. It acts as comforter, one who intercedes, or supports or acts as an advocate, particularly in times of trial.

## Overview

### Name

In Christian theology, the name of God has always held deep significance, considered instead to have divine origin and be based upon divine revelation. Scripture presents many names for God, but the key names in the Old Testament are God the High and Exalted One and Yahweh, sometimes spelled YHWH. In the New Testament, Theos, Kyrios, Father, and Pater are His essential names.

## Creation of Earth

At the beginning of time, God made the universe over a period of a week, resting on the seventh day. The creation story goes as follows:

**Day 1:** God created light and separated the light from the darkness, calling the light "day" and the dark "night."

**Day 2:** God created an area to separate the waters and called it "the sky."

**Day 3:** God created the ground and the waters, calling the dry ground "land," and the gathered waters "seas." On day three, God also created the planet's vegetation.

**Day 4:** God created the sun, moon, and the stars to give light to the Earth and to separate the day and the night. These would also serve as signs to mark seasons, days, and years.

**Day 5:** God created every living thing in the seas and every bird, blessing them to multiply and fill the waters and skies with life.

**Day 6:** God created the animals to fill the Earth. He also created a man and a woman (Adam and Eve) in His own image to live with him. He blessed them and gave them the whole Earth to rule over, care for, and cultivate.

**Day 7:** God finished His work of creation and rested on the seventh day, blessing it and making it holy.
