Question 1

Question
Complete the Paragraph: Christians believe that God possesses certain characteristics. God is [blank_start]omnibenevolent[blank_end] which means all good. God is [blank_start]omnipotent[blank_end] which means all powerful. God is [blank_start]omniscient[blank_end] which means all knowing and God is not limited by time or space; he is [blank_start]omnipresent[blank_end] and transcendent. Christians believe that Jesus is the full revelation of God because he is the [blank_start]incarnation[blank_end]. This means that Jesus is both fully human and fully divine.
