Etymology of the Word "God"
Discusses the root-meaning of the name "God", which is derived from Gothic and Sanskrit roots.
Existence of God
Formal
dogmatic Atheism is self-refuting, and has never won the reasoned
assent of any considerable number of men. Nor can Polytheism ever
satisfy the mind of a philosopher. But there are several varieties of
what may be described as virtual Atheism which cannot be dismissed so
quickly.
Nature and Attributes of God
In
this article, we proceed by deductive analysis to examine the nature
and attributes of God to the extent required by our limited
philosophical scope. We will treat accordingly of the infinity, unity, and simplicity of God, adding some remarks on Divine personality.
Relation of God to the Universe
The
world is essentially dependent on God, and this dependence implies (1)
that God is the Creator of the world — the producer of its whole
substance; and (2) that its continuance in being at every moment is due
to His sustaining power.
The Blessed Trinity
The
Trinity is the term employed to signify the central doctrine of the
Christian religion — the truth that in the unity of the Godhead there
are Three truly distinct Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy
Spirit.
