God’s Attributes If the Creator is Eternal and Everlasting, then His attributes must also be eternal and everlasting.  If this is so, then his attributes are absolute.  Can there be more than one Creator with such absolute attributes?  Can there be, for example, two absolutely powerful Creators?  A moment’s thought shows that this is not
