Just what are these attributes?

offspring of God, we ought70 not to think that
the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or
stone, graven71 by art and man's device.

sent me unto you.
Joh 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily117, verily, I say unto you,

him; and they were full29 of eyes within: and they30 rest not31

How do we know?
Ro 1:18 For the wrath65 of God is revealed from heaven
against all ungodliness66 and unrighteousness67 of
men, who hold68 the truth in unrighteousness;
Ro 1:19 ¶ Because that which69 may be known of God
is manifest in them70; for God hath shewed it unto
them.
Ro 1:20 ¶ For the71 invisible things of him from the72
creation of the world are clearly seen, being
understood by the things that are made, even his73
eternal power and Godhead74; so that they are75
without76 excuse:
God created man in God’s own image.
Ge 1:26 ¶ And God said, Let us45 make man46 in
our47 image, after our likeness: and let them
have dominion48 over the fish of the sea, and
over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle,
and over all the earth, and over every
creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Ge 1:27 So God created man in his own image,
in the image49 of God created he him; male50
and female created he them.
This is what is meant by
Ro 1:20 ¶ For the71 invisible things of him from
the72 creation of the world are clearly seen,
being understood by the things that are made,
even his73 eternal power and Godhead74; so

M't 1:20 ¶ But while63 he thought on these
things, behold, the angel64 of the Lord

conceived69 in her is of the Holy Ghost.

fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the

Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
