What does omnibenevolent mean?

  1. God has complete knowledge

  2. God has limited goodness and love

  3. God has unlimited ceremonies

  4. God has unlimited goodness and love

The correct answer is: God has unlimited goodness and love

Omnibenevolent refers to the idea that God possesses unlimited goodness and love. This concept suggests that God's nature is perfectly good, embodying love and benevolence toward all of creation. In various theological contexts, omnibenevolence is seen as an essential attribute of God, portraying a being that is inherently good and merciful, having the best intentions for every individual. Understanding this term within the wider discussion of God’s attributes is crucial. It contrasts with notions of limited goodness or love, which would imply that God is not perfectly good or that His love has restrictions. The other options, such as complete knowledge or ceremonial aspects, do not directly relate to the notion of omnibenevolence, as they focus on different attributes of God rather than His goodness and love.
