How This List Was Built
Each attribute is a set of exact King James phrases, such as “God is love,” “merciful and gracious,” “his mercy endureth for ever,” or “the Holy One of Israel.” The build searches the site’s King James Version for every verse with one of those phrases, adds the verses Torrey’s New Topical Textbook lists under the same heading, (1) and removes a verse only when the phrase is about someone other than God, such as Elijah being “very jealous for the LORD.” A verse can sit under more than one attribute. Exodus 34:6Exodus 34:6 · King James VersionAnd the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth,
Exodus 34:6 · King James VersionOpen source is in four tables.
The words are the King James words, so the Hebrew behind them varies. “Merciful” and “mercy” in these verses are usually or , and “Almighty” in the Old Testament is . The names behind “God,” “LORD,” and “Lord” are on The Names of God in Hebrew.
The Son and the Spirit share these attributes. Torrey lists Jesus as eternal, omnipresent, omnipotent, omniscient, and unchangeable, and the Holy Spirit as eternal, omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent. That evidence is What Is the Deity of Christ?, The Names and Titles of Jesus, and Is the Holy Spirit God?.
