Bible Studies: 2 God

Here's the second instalment in my Bible studies that I'll be posting on Fridays. I should probably now take the time to say that these studies don't necessairly represent any official teaching of my church. They are however, not intended to contradict said teachings, but rather support them. Ultimately, they are the product of my interaction with the Bible in the context of Adventist doctrine and my theological education ("B.A. in Religious Studies"--full disclosure). Preparing these studies has led me to a deeper faith, and I hope you will gain some benefit from them as well (so give me some feedback). Again, the 'answers' are at the bottom.
