Abstract

Is it coherent to believe that there is a God—an omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent, personal spirit, who is changeless, eternal, necessary, free, perfectly good, creator and sustainer of all things other than himself, a source of moral obligation, holy, and worthy of worship? Or are such beliefs incoherent? That is, is any one of them instrinsically [[sic]] inconsistent? Or, perhaps, is any one of them inconsistent with some other one? Or do the words ascribed to God become divested of significant content when they are removed from the creaturely realm to which they usually apply and in which they are normally employed?
