In John 17:25 Jesus was personally communicating with God, so this recorded conversation is Holy. When these two talk, there is no crap going on, its the real genuine thing, dead serious truth. So we can glean much about how God is, from the conversations we are invited to between Jesus and God. Jesus begins by saying " O Righteous Father." So this is how Gods Personality is, he really is " Righteous", and God does NOT Change! Notice Malachi 3:6;" For I the Lord do not Change!" Gods personality does not waver back and forth like humans do, he is consistant and ongoing. He is not given to hissy fits and temper tantrums. If God was like a human, and able to loose control for even a few seconds, he could crack the fiber of existance and blow a serious hole into reality. God IS the Fiber of existance!

So God IS NOT like us, and we are VERY fortunate of this. God is Righteous, and he willNOT change into any other mode that is not balanced by Righteousness , he will maintain a straight path in accordance with what is just or good, and he sets the standard for conduct and principle. God is sound and correct in his judgements. His mind is Sound and reasonable , which is why I personally know that he would NEVER set up an eternal hell punishment for humans, no matter what the senerio, because that wouldNOT be sound! No, God is REASONANT personified, well constructed thinking at levels we are just not into, at this time. WAY beyound us, and way beyond the bible itself! And remember this; we are not like him, so we understand on our level of reason, and to my dismay, many believers are on the level of thinking God would set up a standard of Righteousness that the vast majority of humans could NEVER reach, and then judge them from that. This kind of belief is molded from OUR view of God, and he knows that, and from that view, many perverted assumptions and doctrines are born and have taken root in our belief, then WE judge others according to that.

But let me go further into Gods personality, and then, once that is understood, the picture of all of our salvation changes. God does not change, but our view of him needs to change.

Anyone who would look to understand God, must be willing to change.

Peace.
