Some of the Attributes of God Almighty and His word (The holy Scripture):

(Please Note: Much of what is shared below was copied from an excerpt from a Statement written on the Attributes of God, from the Christian Research Institute. I whole-heartedly agree with it. And so I thought to use much of their Statement. The Modifications which I added, should be obvious. For my purpose in adding what I added is to show the Oneness and Unity which God has with His very word. And that they possess the very same Essence, Nature and Power. That they are Co-Equal and Co-Eternal. And to also show that the very attributes which God has, that His holy word (The King James Bible) also possesses those very same attributes and moral perfection.)

Also at the very end I also share a video where brother John and brother Jesse show how that Jesus and the Bible are ONE.

1. SELF-EXISTENT: God and His word have no cause; They do not depend on anything for their continued existence.

God and His Scripture have life in themselves. They are First and Last, Alpha and Omega, Beginning and End. (Isa. 41:4; 44:6; 48:12; Rev. 1:8, 17; 2:8; 3:14; 21:6; 22:13).

2. IMMUTABLE: God and His Holy Scripture (word) are perfect in that they never change nor can they change with respect to their being, attributes, purpose, or promises.
They are Unchangeable (Psa. 102:26-27; Isa. 51:6; Mal. 3:6; Rom. 1:23; Heb. 1:11-12; James 1:17; Heb. 13:8).
They are unchanging in their Character.

3. TRANSCENDENT: God Almighty (Jesus Christ) and His holy word are entirely distinct from the universe.

They are Separate from the world (Isa. 66:1-2; Acts 17:24)
and they are even Contrasted with the world (Psa. 102:25-27; I John 2:15-17).

4. ETERNAL: God (Jesus Christ) and His holy word are perfect in that they transcend all time and temporal limitations, and are thus infinite with respect to time.

They have endured through endless ages (Ps. 90:2; 93:2; 102:12; Eph. 3:21), are Unlimited by time (Psa. 90:4; 2 Pet. 3:8) and they Both are Creator of the ages ( i.e., of time itself; Heb. 1:2; 11:3). They are Eternal and therefore we also can know that they are self-existent, immutable and transcendent.

5. OMNIPRESENT: God Almighty and His Holy Scripture are perfect in that they transcend all space and spatial limitations, and are thus infinite with respect to space, with their whole Being filling every part of the universe and being present everywhere (not diffused through the universe, but present at each point in their fullness).

The universe cannot contain God, and it cannot contain His holy word (1 Kings 8:27; Isa. 66:1; Acts 7:48-49)

They are Present everywhere (Psa. 139:7-10; Acts 17:28; of Christ, Matt. 18:20; 28:20)

God and His word Fill all things (Jer. 23:23-24; of Christ, Eph. 1:23; 4:10; Col. 3:11).

6. OMNIPOTENT: God (Jesus Christ) and His word are perfect in that they can do all things consistent with the perfection of their Nature, Character and being. God and His word, they cannot do the self-contradictory, nor can they do that which is contrary to their Just and Perfect nature (e.g., They cannot change, They cannot lie, etc.).

Nothing is too difficult for them (Gen. 18:14; Jer. 32:17, 27; Zech. 8:6; Matt. 3:9)

All things possible with them (Job 42:2; Psa. 115:3; Matt. 19:26; Mark 10:27; Luke 1:37; 18:27; Eph. 1:11)

7. OMNISCIENT: God Almighty and His holy word are perfect in that They knows all things, including events before they happen.

They are Perfect in knowledge, Job 37:16
They both Know the heart (1 Sam. 16:7; 1 Chr. 28:9, 17; Psa. 139:1-4; Jer. 17:10a, Heb. 4:12)
They Know all events to come (Isa. 41:22-23; 42:9; 44:7).

8. MORALLY PERFECT: The following are the moral attributes of God and His Holy word (The Scripture); they are listed here together because God and His word, their moral nature is perfectly unified, with no tension between their wrath and their love, for example.

GOOD: God and the Bible are morally excellent, and they do only good (Gen. 1:31; Deut. 8:16; Psa. 107:8; 118:1; Nahum 1:7; Mark 10:18; Rom. 8:28).

HOLY: God and The Scripture are morally transcendent, utterly separated from all evil, and perfectly pure (Ex. 3:5; Lev. 19:2; Psa. 5:4-6; 99:5; Isa. 6:3; 8:13; Hab. 1:12-13; 1 Pet. 1:14-19).

RIGHTEOUS: God Almighty and The Holy Scripture are perfectly moral in all that They do, doing everything right ( Isa. 45:21; Zeph. 3:5; Rom. 3:26).

TRUE: God and His word, The King James Bible, are perfectly truthful, and cannot lie (John 17:17; Titus 1:2; Heb. 6:18).

LOVING: God (Our Lord Jesus Christ) and His word, the Holy Scripture, Their moral character is pure love, sacrificial giving for the true benefit of another (Deut. 7:7-8; Jer. 31:3; John 3:16; Heb. 12:6)

WRATHFUL: God and The Holy Scripture, Their moral perfection requires Them to show displeasure against anything which seeks to act contrary to their moral purpose, to judge that which rebels against Their authority as Creator and Lord (Psa. 103:8-9; Rom. 2:5; 11:22; Heb. 10:31).
