MY RELIGION: God and Being

GOD IS

Omnipotent - all powerful, limited only by covenant
           Omnipresent - not bound by time and space
           Omniscient - all knowing
           Creator - source of all things
Immutable - communicating whenever and wherever
           Perfect - complete, faultless, exact, entire
           Trinity - the three persons of the Godhead,
            God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost


STATES OF BEING

            Triumphant - in Heaven, in the presence of God,
            with the angels and saints

Purgatory - some believe there is a third state after death, a place or time of learning and purification,
            [recognition, repentance, and release from sin,
            like the thief on the cross, but not a necessary
            belief for salvation]

Militant - of this world, in faith, striving, yearning, worshipping in obedience

            Damned - in hell, in torment, the absence of God,

            the absence of Love and Hope, and light


In Christ's love, Fr. Robert Pax
