The Names/Titles that God has. (Just a few for the moment)

God's Nature.

Many see God as a being who loves everyone and lets you do what you want or as a restrictive taskmaster who will smite you for the smallest mistake.

The truth is that God's nature is MUCH more complex than that. Was he strict in the Old Testament? Yes. But there are many cases where he was also merciful and kind. You see God's nature is a combination of things. The easiest way I can explain it is to give you a list.

1. He is Holy. His holiness is beyond human comprehension.

2. He is Righteous.

3. He is Loving.

4. He is Merciful.

5. He is Just.

6. He is Longsuffering. In Other words patient. If he wasn't we would all be dead and in Hell for our sins.

7. He hates sin.

8. He loves righteousness.

And the list goes on and on. To put it simply, God isn't the idiotic, 2 dimensional, fool that some people see Him as or the immovable harsh deity that other view him as.

The Trinity.

Aka God being three in one.

It's simple if you don't think about it too much. The Trinity is God in three different forms (kind of like how water has three different forms/states) that all exist at the same time.
