Wow! what a great God we can know and serve because He reveals Himself to creation, speaks to man, interacts with man, and guides history to the end He has decreed. If He did not reveal Himself, we would never be able to know He exists or what He is like.
Tomorrow, I will post Scripture that speaks to this uniqueness. For tonight, it is late and I am off to bed soon.
What a great post on the uniqueness of God! I am not trying to add to or take away from anything you said here, just wanted to share something that came to mind as I was reading through this. In Part 2, you showed how God is unique in the way He exists as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen!
John 1:18 came to mind and I'm not sure if you considered it or not, but it speaks also of the uniqueness of Christ. In the phrase "the only begotten Son," the word begotten (MONOGENES) can be translated unique. Jesus is the only unique one from the Father, the only one in human form that represents God.
I want to say thank you for all the time you have spent sharing the attributes of God from A to Z.
I understand John 1:18 speaks of Jesus being monogenes (unique), only begotten Son. Thanks for bringing this up. He is a unique son because He is the only son that is ontologically one with the Father and the Holy Spirit, possessing the divine nature fully and equally along with the Father and the Holy Spirit, thus God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit-one divine nature, but three distinct persons, each divine, but not separate from one another-unified and one.
Pt. 3.
