The personality of God.

Even trying to comprehend that God exist in the first place is tuff, so in trying to understand his personality, is just a very comprehensive thing to do. God " Is", or he exist, and he is what he is, or he exist because he exist, and I don't think we will ever know more than that about his existance. God once was asked who he is, he responded by saying " I Am what I Am." In other words, he was saying that he exist, and thats all he is saying about it. If you get a response like that from God, it means, amoungst other things, that he does NOT want to give you any more information. Other words, thats all your going to know. And this is really how God has treated the average humans on earth, with very, very limited manifestations recorded.

In Isaiah 45:15;" Truly thou are a God who Hides Himself." This is really one of Gods Personal attributes, he is very regal, he will listen to everyone, but even in that listening, its usually from a distance. Hes kind of " Stand offish", in one sense, not really out in the open. Even the prayers of the Saints are said to be bought to him in some kind of containment, vails or bowls, and he then listens to them, as one who smell incense. Perhaps good for humans in one sense, because the word of God says that no human can see God and live through that experience. Something about God can kill a human instantly by just looking at him. Kind of frightens my imagination.

So God has to be withdrawn, I mean he just has to be careful with how he reveals himself. This is only one reason why God has NOT shown himself to humanity, no human has ever seen God. But you know how humans are, they will claim up and down that they have. God knows that he cannot reveal himself to flesh and blood directly, or that would kill. So God uses other means of communication, and the fact that he does that, leads into evidence of " Personality".

And I want to go into that.

Peace.
