Talk:Attributes of God in Christianity

Subject, Neutrality, Purpose of this article? edit

What is the subject matter of this article? "Attributes of God" is vague at best. There are over 35000 Christian denominations that assign differing attributes to God, and there are even more non-Christian religions and denominations that assign differing attributes to God. "God" is not particular to Christianity, and the list only represents one perspective of one vagely defined subsection of Protestantism. This article is not informative and not encyclopedic. ♆ CUSH ♆ 14:31, 24 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

Well, the lead explains that it only covers Christian theology - perhaps the article name could be changed to Attributes of God in Christian theology. I would have thought most of the attributes are held by all branches of Christianity. The references are mainly Protestant, but feel free to add other references from other sources. StAnselm (talk) 22:15, 24 November 2011 (UTC)Reply
The entire article strikes me as being OR and SYNTH. Neither the list nor the items in it are sourced to any secondary reliable sources. Bible references are insufficient. ♆ CUSH ♆ 10:17, 25 November 2011 (UTC)Reply
Actually, most standard systematic theology textbooks have an enumeration of the attributes. You saw, didn't you, the Westminster Shorter Catechism's list? But I agree we should have more than just Bible references. The goal is that every entry would have a citation from a reliable source. StAnselm (talk) 12:29, 25 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

According Torah Bereshit 15:18:21 also well-known as Torah Genesis 15:18:21,Abrahamic covenant, “In that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying: 'Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates; the Kenite, and the Kenizzite, and the Kadmonite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Rephaim, and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Girgashite, and the Jebusite.” “Abraham” whose birth name was Abram” The Father Love”, is the eponym of the Abrahamic religions, among which are Judaism, Christianity and Islam. According to both Torah and the Qur'an, through his sons Ishmael and Isaac, Abraham is the forefather of many tribes, including the Ishmaelites, Israelites, Midianites and Edomites Abraham was a descendant of Noah's son, Shem. Christians believe that Jesus of Nazareth was a descendant of Abraham through Issaac, and Muslims believe that Prophet of Islam Muhammad was also descendant of Abraham through Ishmael. God gave Abraham's descendants all the land from the river (or wadi) of Egypt to the Euphrates. Wadi means seasonal river in reference to the Nile Delta which flooded seasonally during those days. Later, this land came to be referred to as “the Promised Land” .the Land of Israel, however the land specified by the Abrahamic Covenant also includes the modern nations of Saudi Arabia, Oman, Yemen, Turkey, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Kuwait, UAE, and several other nations within the Middle East Region. Hebrew and Arab peoples are generally classified as Semitic, a concept derived from Biblical accounts of the origins of the cultures known to the ancient Hebrews. Those closest to them in culture and language were generally deemed to be descended from their forefather Shem, one of the sons of Noah. Modern historians confirm the affinity of ancient Hebrews and Arabs based on characteristics that are usually transmitted from parent to child, such as genes and habits, with the most well-studied criterion being language. Similarities between Semitic languages “Triconsonantal route” “S-L-M Shin-Lamedh-Mem” (including Aramaic Hebrew Arabic & Maltese ) and their differences with those spoken by other adjacent people confirm the common origin of Hebrews and Arabs among other Semitic nations.

Missing attributes edit

I think this list could be extended with some more attributes:

  • Beauty: many Christian theologians would agree that God is beautiful, and possesses beauty in the maximal possible degree, and that ultimate beauty is the source of all lesser beauties
  • Perfection: many Christian theologians would say that God has only one attribute - perfection - and that all other divine attributes are simply specifications of this attribute of perfection, rather than truly independent attributes. They would even say that all divine attributes represent limited human attempts to express this infinite perfection in terms comprehensible to the human mind. At least, I believe Catholic theologians in the Thomist tradition would say things like this.
  • Necessity: many Christian theologians would say that God is necessary, that God is a necessary existent (they may even say he is the only necessary existent). (To some extent this overlaps with aseity, although it is not clear to me if they are exactly the same thing.) The philosopher Richard Swinburne is an example of a Christian thinker who denies that God is a necessary existent, although I think he is very much in the minority on that.
  • Eternity: the majority of Christians hold that God is eternal, in the sense of existing outside of time, of being atemporal. Open theism rejects this, but it is a (rather controversial) minority view in Christianity
  • Personality, or Personhood Christianity holds that God is a personal being, a person, as opposed to an impersonal deity. So this is a very key divine attribute from the Christian perspective, but is not called out as a heading in the list (even though many of the other attributes mentioned inevitably presume it.)

I would add some stuff about this, but need to find good references first. SJK (talk) 00:57, 19 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

I'm not sure about necessity, but the other ones could definitely be included. "Eternity" is already mentioned under "Infinity". If "personality" means that God is one person as well as being three persons, that would be a minority view (held by Cornelius Van Til among others). StAnselm (talk) 19:09, 24 April 2015 (UTC)Reply
I'm not sure whether eternity can simply be slotted under infinity. If we contrast eternity (existence outside of time) to sempiternity (existence within time, but having an infinite temporal duration), it is not clear that the later is somehow less "infinite" than the former, yet the classical Christian position is God has the former not the later.
My point about personality is simply that in the mainstream Abrahamic tradition, God is personal rather than impersonal, which can be contrasted with some views about an impersonal God (e.g. Spinoza's pantheism). Now in Judaism and Islam, that personhood is understood in a singular sense, in mainstream Christianity the personhood is understood in a triune sense, but either way, God has an attribute of being personal as opposed to being impersonal. So arguments (like Van Til's) about how many persons God is, about whether he is three only or both one and three, don't impact this fundamental point. SJK (talk) 23:10, 25 April 2015 (UTC)Reply
True. As I said, very happy for eternity and personality to be distinct sections. StAnselm (talk) 19:23, 26 April 2015 (UTC)Reply
I am not sure we need any of these, but if you have references we can see what you what to say about them. I like what you (SJK) said about personhood, but StAnselm's comments on personhood are opaque. tahc chat 04:32, 27 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

About C.S Lewis edit

Why do you quote him about omnipotence? The page has partiality, ah various interpretations for Omnipotence, if you have a quote from it, you should have quotes from others with other interpretations, or have none and only what you have in the Bible The Omnipotente (talk) 07:41, 18 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

This page generally has one quote from a writer as well as a quote from the Bible. I'm not sure why you're questioning the inclusion of Lewis, particularly. Is it because he was not a professional theologian, or is it simply that you disagree with him? What would be an example of an other interpretation? StAnselm (talk) 20:01, 18 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
Please discuss the issue here rather than reverting. In any case, your version did not make grammatical sense. StAnselm (talk) 23:27, 18 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hello how are you? Sorry for the problem. Not being a professional theologian is one of the reasons, but as I said in the issue, the main reason is with the C.S Lewis quote, the page does not remain unbiased (which in my view is a bad thing). And if it is to put the opinions of Aquinas, it would be better; One suggestion is, or explains, that it has several interpretations for this attribute or puts different interpretations. A person can accept this as truth only because it is the opinion of someone with Relevance. About grammatical errors, your help would be welcome (and thank you very much) What do you think? — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Omnipotente (talkcontribs) 01:05, 19 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

I'd be very happy to include Aquinas if you have a suitable quote or sourced summary. Are you saying he would have disagreed with Lewis? StAnselm (talk) 02:57, 19 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

For example, Thomas Aquinas and Lewis agree with the version that God can only do logical things(it would be good to put Aquinas's opinion).. But there are other versions that God can do illogical things (in this version, God transcends logic). Speaking that it would be good to put these two versions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Omnipotente (talkcontribs) 03:36, 19 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Here to talk about aquino, this passage explains well(I tried to send and it was not before)

"It remains therefore, that God is called omnipotent because He can do all things that are possible absolutely; which is the second way of saying a thing is possible. For a thing is said to be possible or impossible absolutely, according to the relation in which the very terms stand to one another, possible if the predicate is not incompatible with the subject, as that Socrates sits; and absolutely impossible when the predicate is altogether incompatible with the subject, as, for instance, that a man is a donkey. It must, however, be remembered that since every agent produces an effect like itself, to each active power there corresponds a thing possible as its proper object according to the nature of that act on which its active power is founded; for instance, the power of giving warmth is related as to its proper object to the being capable of being warmed. The divine existence, however, upon which the nature of power in God is founded, is infinite, and is not limited to any genus of being; but possesses within itself the perfection of all being. Whence, whatsoever has or can have the nature of being, is numbered among the absolutely possible things, in respect of which God is called omnipotent. Now nothing is opposed to the idea of being except non-being. Therefore, that which implies being and non-being at the same time is repugnant to the idea of an absolutely possible thing, within the scope of the divine omnipotence. For such cannot come under the divine omnipotence, not because of any defect in the power of God, but because it has not the nature of a feasible or possible thing. Therefore, everything that does not imply a contradiction in terms, is numbered amongst those possible things, in respect of which God is called omnipotent: whereas whatever implies contradiction does not come within the scope of divine omnipotence, because it cannot have the aspect of possibility. Hence it is better to say that such things cannot be done, than that God cannot do them. Nor is this contrary to the word of the angel, saying: "No word shall be impossible with God." For whatever implies a contradiction cannot be a word, because no intellect can possibly conceive such a thing. —The Summa Theologica I, Q. XXV: The power of God, Art. 3. Objection 4.

Sorry for the long review. In the version that transcends logic, there is not much to be said about speech. But I can logically talk about why God can do illogical things. In the first congress of logic and religion, it has been said that God can make logical contradictions if he is a paraconsistent being (and was defined as a paraconsistent fact). Here he explains the logic and reason God is Paraconsistent

the Nicolaus of Cusa once had an argument about God being contradictory I am going to put it here "Since I am going to discuss the maximum learning of ignorance, I must deal with the nature of Maximality. Now, I give the name “Maximum” to that than which there cannot be anything greater. But fullness befits what is one. Thus, oneness—which is also being—coincides with Maximality. But if such oneness is altogether free from all relation and contraction, obviously nothing is opposed to it, since it is Absolute Maximality. Thus, the Maximum is the Absolute One which is all things. And all things are in the Maximum (for it is the Maximum); and since nothing is opposed to it, the Minimum likewise coincides with it, and hence the Maximum is also in all things. And because it is absolute, it is, actually, every possible being; it contracts nothing from things, all of which [derive] from it. In the first book I shall strive to investigate incomprehensibly above human reason-this Maximum, which the faith of all nations indubitably believes to be God. [I shall investigate] with the guidance of Him “who alone dwells in inaccessible light. De douta ignorantia, 1440" Too bad the book is paid but here's the link(CUSA, Nicholas.

C. S. Lewis on Omnipotence edit

I had spoken before that C. S. Lewis's phrase also makes the page tedious. What he says is not an absolute truth but only an interpretation

To cut the craps: in theology there are no absolute truths, but only interpretations made by theologians. The attributes of God are not based upon "the Bible says so", but only on interpretations provided by later theologians. I made this problem crystal clear at #Original research.
Just because you can cite stuff from the Bible, it does not mean that you know absolute truths. tgeorgescu (talk) 08:54, 26 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

Neutrality edit

This article does not discuss how different denominations of Christianity ascribe different attributes, and seems to rely on an Anglican interpretation. There are some major disagreements; for example, Nontrinitarian denominations would reject the current contents of the "Trinity" section. The article should attribute attributes to Christianity or some particular source, but currently it's mostly describing attributes of God in its own voice. To be neutral, the article would also need to include criticism or commentary from Christian and non-Christian sources; for example, there are arguments that certain attributes are incompatible or impossible. -- Beland (talk) 06:46, 31 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

Original research edit

Citing Bible verses at Attributes of God in Christianity is stupid, since other Bible verses can be found to contradict those. And you don't even need to search very hard for such verses. E.g. [1] and [2]. If you don't want stuff like "God is powerless against iron chariots" appearing in the article, then don't WP:CITE Bible verses for WP:V the claim that he is omnipotent. Same applies to citing Bible verses for verifying any other attribute: I will reply in kind. Christians are not the only people able to cite the Bible in order to push a POV. Cite WP:SCHOLARSHIP for verifying the attributes of God, don't cite the Bible.

If the standard of verification is Sola Scriptura I can insert Sola Scriptura in the article till Christian believers no longer want Sola Scriptura in this article.

Of course, a much simpler argument is WP:RSPSCRIPTURE. And that, my friends, is binding for your edits, too. tgeorgescu (talk) 10:33, 26 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

Fair enough. Of course, most, if not all, of these Bible verses will also be found as proof texts in secondary sources. (But you would be hard-pressed to find a reference to Judges 1:19 in any discussion of God's omnipotence.) And no, WP:RSPSCRIPTURE is not binding - it's an essay, following a noticeboard. WP:RS is the binding guideline. StAnselm (talk) 20:30, 26 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
I did not want to be mean, but throwing some Bible verses with little or no explanation won't do. tgeorgescu (talk) 07:34, 27 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

Houston we have a problem edit

Some of these aren't 'capital-A' "Attributes" of God (God's essence/nature). Instead they describe God's relation to the world and himself. Big difference, if you don't want to be a heretic and accidentally endorse things like tri-theism and pantheism. It looks like the article mentions a distinction but only briefly.

In other words, just listing all of these things as attributes is confusing, and that's why theologians (in my readings) don't list things like Trinity and Providence as 'attributes' of God. 2601:840:8681:9690:0:0:0:B103 (talk) 19:51, 5 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Well, here at Wikipedia we're merely descriptive, and we include things labeled attributes, even if they are heretical. Personally, I've always had my doubts about "mission" as an attribute. StAnselm (talk) 20:46, 5 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
That's interesting, @StAnselm; are there any reliable sources which describe "Trinity" as an "attribute" of God? What about "Mission" other than Bosch? Does Wright's book state this explicitly? When I checked "Providence" I found only Alfred J. Freddoso's unpublished course materials. I would say that in order for us to be descriptive, we'd need to demonstrate a consensus of sources that specifically and explicitly describe each item in our list as an "Attribute" of God as defined by the scope in the "Classification" section.
Our own article admits that "Christians are not monolithic" in their understanding, but I think that citing one lone theologian is insufficient to qualify something for this list. I believe that we should set the bar of our inclusion criteria sufficiently that excludes claims of fringe views and outliers. Elizium23 (talk) 14:02, 7 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
Well, I googled "is trinity an attribute of god" and the top result was Jen Wilkin (not exactly a reliable source, but I was surprised she didn't have a WP article): [3] I will keep on looking. StAnselm (talk) 14:28, 7 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
