- Welcome to the Rapid Bull, daily edition, where we provide a quick biblical interpretations and applications.
- 00:12
- This is a ministry of striving for eternity. When we look at the attributes of God, I want to talk first about categorizing them, because we see several different ways people attempt to categorize the attributes of God.
- 00:28
- Most often what you see is those that are communicable and those that are incommunicable. What does that mean?
- 00:34
- Communicable means that these are the attributes that God has passed on to us, some to angels as well, but those attributes that are communicated or passed on to other of his creation.
- 00:48
- However, when we look at the incommunicable attributes, these are attributes that are true only of God, they're not passed on to any other of his creation, and those are ones that are true only of God.
- 01:01
- So when we look at those attributes, those are attributes of deity only. Now, this is how we typically see it, and I have broken these attributes out a little bit differently, and I want you to understand how and why we're going to go through it the way we are.
- 01:15
- The first list that we're going to have is attributes of deity. The attributes of deity are those attributes that are true only for God.
- 01:23
- So God alone possesses these, and he possesses all of them. Any being that possesses these are referred to as God.
- 01:32
- This would be the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Now, there's attributes of personality. Those are ones that are going to be passed on to even the angels and to men that defines personhood.
- 01:43
- And the last is attributes of morality, which we will see in human beings. And so this is the way
- 01:48
- I'm going to break down and categorize the attributes of God. This podcast is part of the Striving for Eternity ministry.
