2 PAGE 2 Who is God CHAPLAIN God is the substance of all human virtues. He is allwise and all knowing, he is all good, and love. It is known that God is omnipotent (all-powerful) omniscient (all-knowing) omnipresent (presenteverywhere). God is a spirit: eternal and ever-living; with no beginning and no end. God is the father of all creation, creator of all things. He is all powerful and sustains the universe. God named himself to the early Jews, as Yahweh, translated "Jehovah or Lord". Scholars believe that this is the "hiphil" tense of the Hebrew verb "to be" and means "he who causes (everything else) to be.
