The name "Yahweh" comes from Exodus, where God introduces himself as "I am that I am."

Considered by many Protestant Christians to be a personal god. (That is, a god who desires to be a part of our every day lives.)

Both a god of love, and a god of justice. Some like to romanticize God by limiting Him to his loving side, while others use God's justice as an excuse to oppress people. But a perfect God must love deeply, and also hate injustice.

God promises that every evil act will be punished, if not in this life than in the next. But there is an escape from this.

Some believe that being a good person will get you into heaven, but this this merit system is flawed. Certain individuals like Mother Teresa and Hitler could be easily placed on one side or another, but what about the ones in between?

Wouldn't it suck to be the guy standing right behind where the line was cut off?

"But that guy ahead of me isn't much better than me! We're practically equals!"

"True, but we have to draw a line somewhere... Sorry!"

God doesn't go by the credit-merit system of salvation. Instead, "All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God."

God says that if you want to spend all of eternity with Him, simply tell Him you're sorry for everything you've done wrong, and to love Him with Your life. Know Him personally, and you will enter.

Whether you believe in Him or not, THIS is the God of the Bible. Take it or leave it.
