Blog Post 26 - 99 Names of God

The Vanquisher

                This name can be applied to God because God is the manipulator of all things in the universe therefor has the power to take it away. To vanquish something is to defeat an opponent or opposing army in a battle or fight. God has the power to defeat evil and He did just that when Jesus died on the cross to save us.

The Sustainer

                I chose this name to be a more masculine name of God because in today’s society there is a stereotype in which the man of a household is the one who is supposed to be the “breadwinner”. The man is the one who is supposed to provide for his family all of the things they need to survive and live a comfortable life. In a way, God gives us the power to be able to do this. God sustains on life in the universe and God is the ultimate provider for all human beings.

The Most Kind

                God is kind and does not discriminate against anyone. He is the ultimate epitome of kindness. I chose this to be a feminine name of God because females are stereotypically nicer than men. Women naturally have a more motherly approach to things and are usually nicer and are more emotional when it comes to decision-making. God has our greatest intentions in mind when he cares for us.

The Infinitely Patient

                God is incredibly patient with us. Just like most women are or mothers have to be incredibly patient when raising their children. Most women don’t have short tempers like men. God has to have a lot of patience to be able to listen to all of our prayers. God cannot be mad at us and forgives us whenever we sin.

                All four of these names can refer to the same God because God is everything. He has to have all of these attributes in order to truly love and be truly encompassed in each and everyone’s life. God is all-knowing and all powerful. He has to take on both masculine and feminine attributes to be who He is. He created the universe because he loves us and keeps us alive every day because he cares. Each of these names accurately describe God in every way because he embodies each attribute.
