Removal

I'm not sure I get this. This defines what God is (all the while leaving out the Trinity or plurality of persons), and does not address categorizing or classifying the attributes. Hence, my removal.

Theopedia categorizes the attributes with the following distinctions given by Charles Hodge,

It is proposed in what follows to accept the guidance of the answer given in the "Westminster Catechism," to the question, What is God? It is assumed in that answer that God is a self-existent and necessary Being; and it is affirmed of Him, I. That He is a Spirit. II. That as such He is infinite, eternal, and immutable. III. That He is infinite, eternal, and immutable, (1.) In his being. (2.) In all that belongs to his intelligence, namely, in his knowledge and wisdom. (3.) In all that belongs to his will, namely, his power, holiness, justice, goodness, and truth. Whatever speculative objections may be made to this plan, it has the advantage of being simple and familiar. (Systematic Theology) [1]
