	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Nature and Attributes of God
		God cannot be classified or defined, as contingent beings are classified and defined; for there is no aspect of being in which He is perfectly similar to the finite, and consequently no genus in which He can be included.
		But God is infinitely perfect and is necessarily what He is. It is true that some attributes by which certain aspects of Divine perfection are described are hypothetlcal or relative, in the sense that they presuppose the contingent fact of creation: omnipresence, for example, presupposes the actual existence of spatial beings.
		God first destines a man to glory antecedently to any foreseen merits, and consequently upon this decrees to give the efficacious grace by which it is obtained.

	The Nature of God
		God is eternally and infinitely perfect; he cannot personally know imperfection as his own experience, but he does share the consciousness of all the experience of imperfectness of all the struggling creatures of the evolutionary universes of all the Paradise Creator Sons.
		It is wrong to think of God as being coaxed into loving his children because of the sacrifices of his Sons or the intercession of his subordinate creatures, "for the Father himself loves you." It is in response to this paternal affection that God sends the marvelous Adjusters to indwell the minds of men.
		The erroneous supposition that the righteousness of God was irreconcilable with the selfless love of the heavenly Father, presupposed absence of unity in the nature of Deity and led directly to the elaboration of the atonement doctrine, which is a philosophic assault upon both the unity and the free-willness of God.

	How Cruel is Nature? - Does God Exist? - SepOct95
		Skeptics frequently respond to design arguments for the existence of God by citing the cruelty of the natural world as a contradiction to the nature of God.

		If God could be changed He would have to be changed by another being, and thus He would be dependent on another being.
		But this means that He is identical with His nature, otherwise there would be a distinction in God between His essence and His existence and this would result in Him having parts.

	PAPER 2 - THE NATURE OF GOD
		Human limitations, potential evil, are not a part of the divine nature, but mortal experience with evil and all man's relations thereto are most certainly a part of God's ever-expanding self-realization in the children of time--creatures of moral responsibility who have been created or evolved by every Creator Son going out from Paradise.
		After all, the greatest evidence of the goodness of God and the supreme reason for loving him is the indwelling gift of the Father--the Adjuster who so patiently awaits the hour when you both shall be eternally made one.
		The affectionate heavenly Father, whose spirit indwells his children on earth, is not a divided personality--one of justice and one of mercy--neither does it require a mediator to secure the Father's favor or forgiveness.

		On page 57 of Heaven you say "Before the Fall, God came to Eden to visit with Adam and Eve (Genesis 3:8)." This passage refers to God walking in the Garden after Adam and Eve have fallen, but before God has confronted them.
		So is this one (post-Fall) verse sufficient to establish that God was in the habit of visiting with Adam and Eve in the Garden?
		Since God is all knowing, all powerful, and eternal, did He know when He created Adam and Eve...
