Description
The most misunderstood subject in Christianity is the Essence of God and how it functions. The Human Race exists because Lucifer tried to avoid responsibility for his revolution against God by distorting the Essence of God. Christians often say, "Oh How I Love Jesus" yet in they know nothing about his deity, little about his humanity and do not recognize he exists in hypostatic union forever at the right hand of God the Father and constantly intercedes for Christians with God. The point is that ONE CANNOT LOVE WHAT ONE DOES NOT KNOW! The Essence of God is a subject which in reality is not possible to really comprehend but since God himself has revealed much about himself I have tried to consolidate some of that information and organize it into a fairly understandable document.

Summary
This is a compilation of the characteristics within the Essence of God, the Character of God of which usually 10 attributes are considered but which encompasses many more rarely expanded.

Excerpt
Because it is literally impossible for the human mind to know what God’s faculties are in themselves, they are given the names of those powers that would be necessary in order for man to produce such effects, and then they are called such things as wisdom, understanding, and foreknowledge; yet at the same time one cannot but be sensible, that these faculties are of a nature altogether different from those of human beings, and that man has no direct and proper notion or conception of them. Thoughts can only be effectively formulated when there is sufficient Vocabulary to describe and define the thoughts. However, very often vocabulary can provide a definition for a thought or idea but the reality of the concept of the thought cannot be truly comprehended. Some examples would include, Infinity, Eternity, Perfection, and many others. Such is the means of describing the Character of God.
