Gods Character

mike@sda · (#1 (**permalink**))

Here are some text how the bible describes Gods nature/character. How do you personally or how does you religion dscribe Gods character?
1 John 4:8(King James Version)
for God is love.
Jonah 4:2(King James Version)
for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil.

Exodus 34:6-7(King James Version)

6[/suP]And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth,
7[/suP]Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.

Humanity will always describe god in humans terms because most of us are incapable of going beyond that, heck 99% of people can't even go beyond the planet Earth let alone a god..

Therefore we makehim in theimage of man in everyway, heck we even give him our emotional insecurities.

No wonder most ofus are screwed up when our only object of perfection is an equally screwed up deity.

Now based on the History of Earth god would be best described in this way.

It has no feeling and cannot know suffering.

Is indifferent and ignorant of the distinction between good and evil.

Has no intellect or will.

Has no human characteristics or traits whatsoever..

Quote:

1 Samuel 4:8 Woe unto us! who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty Gods? these are the Gods that smote the Egyptians with all the plagues in the wilderness.

Psalms 94:1 O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.

Isaiah 61:2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

Jeremiah 51:6 Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; for this is the time of the LORD's vengeance; he will render unto her a recompence.

Jeremiah 51:36 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will plead thy cause, and take vengeance for thee; and I will dry up her sea, and make her springs dry.

Ezekiel 25:17 And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.

Nahum 1:2 God is jealous, and the LORD revengeth; the LORD revengeth, and is furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies.

Deuteronomy 9:7 Remember, and forget not, how thou provokedst the LORD thy God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that thou didst depart out of the land of Egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have been rebellious against the LORD.

Deuteronomy 9:8 Also in Horeb ye provoked the LORD to wrath, so that the LORD was angry with you to have destroyed you.

Deuteronomy 9:22 And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibrothhattaavah, ye provoked the LORD to wrath.

2 Chronicles 36:16 But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against his people, till there was no remedy.

Romans 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

Romans 2:5 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;

Ephesians 5:6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.

Revelation 14:10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

Revelation 14:19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.

Revelation 15:1 And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.

Revelation 15:7 And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever.

Revelation 16:1 And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.

Revelation 16:19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.

Revelation 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

Quote:

I did not miss the point. I simply decided, before I directly answered the question, to provide the BALANCE to the attributes of God you provided. God is Loving and Merciful, no doubt. But there is another aspect of God's Character that deserves equal consideration, and that is the aspect I attempted to shine light on.

I will provide a look at the Muslim concept of God shortly, God Willing.

I've tried to speak to you in the past and i have tried to help you understand my oppinion. So you can understand the bible thein a new light insteadof something you have already heard. This question to people from different religion, but you don't have know particular religion as you have told me in the past you believe what you want. you depend completely on your own understanding so anyone who questions your beliefs are wrong and you are right to swear and to say what you want. So you are indifferent and ignorant of the distinction between good and evil. You have said that you are superior to everyone else and you put other peoples beliefs down when you don't agree. And have a tantrum.

I'm sorry if i have offended you but you can't make up your own beliefs and expect people to agree with you especially when you think you are superior
