In addition‚ subscribers of the Abrahamic religions also hold that God has attributes that include omniscience‚ omnipotence‚ and benevolence. Fundamentally‚ God is all knowing‚ all-powerful‚ and all good. In contrast‚ God created a perfect universe that is in harmony‚ but occasionally practices miracles.
