Those aren't really characteristics, and this is the main problem with religions. They define their god in rather vague terms.
First, most beneficial in what way? The most merciful? For what and how? If you have two gods, how do you determine which is more beneficial or merciful? Sorry, but those are subjective terms and would be different for each person doing the judging.
God must be an absolute what? Absolutely circular? Absoutely small? Absolutely existing? If the latter, we're all gods.
God creates what? There's nothing, so far, that seems to require a god to make it. And how do you test whether something created God, if you could find one. Another non-characteristic.
And lastly, the definition of a test is to compare it against what is known. So your last characteristic is "God is untestable". Basically, you're claiming that a god must be undefined.
This question, like most such discussions in religion, is just a house of cards. In fact, you can't even define what it is you are claiming exists.

there's a large distinction between cheating on a math attempt and asking God for help. i think of via asking God for help, you build a characteristic of your guy or woman (humbleness). all of us be attentive to that we can't proceed to exist with out his risk-free practices, his training, and his love. he's all we live for. inquiring for a lottery fee ticket and a collection to win a basketball interest are diverse. it is making the final very specific. a individual would desire to need, "God, help me win the lottery" or "God, I certainly have extremely some financial burdens, please see me via it." God supplies oppourtunities for Him to construct your features, and which you would be able to construct your guy or woman. additionally, your prayer "God provide me potential" i do no longer think of it is a characteristic, yet extra so help for the time to hand. we actually arent inquiring for potential for a hundred years, yet inquiring for potential to triumph over a confusing problem. So thus, i'd ought to assert the two. you're saying, "God, i'm apprehensive, provide me peace and safeguard me" you're inquiring for a non everlasting characteristic, and his skill to guard. it is by no ability a disservice to invite God for help. attempt to look at it in the different easy. the place would we be with out Him? and why would we desire him if we didnt desire his help? undergo in strategies the humbling skill of prayer

God is that which nothing greater can be thought, and therefore all our catagories of understanding in regards to God can only be understood analogically, in which for every similarity, there is an ever great dis-similarity. "Sic comprehendis non est Deus"-- if you understand it, if you think that you have it all figured out, it is not God!

We try to define God using human characteristics and traits....I think God's probably so much more than what we can describe. I try to simplify it by saying God is love and every positive derivative of that Love. God is also not bound by any religious definition or name. God is God, no matter what we call God...
Peace, Love, and Blessings

The only god I know fits the following:
you need to believe in his existence or he is void.
his attributes, as described by the clergy who "serve" him seems preposterous.
there is no way to be in contact with him.
there is no way to test for his present or past existence.

All loving and perfect - there is no doing of the math per say. Except this: love conquers all and He allowed us to observe that despite man's agenda.
