The personality of God.

[Mickiel]

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So God has to be withdrawn, I mean he just has to be careful with how he reveals himself.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.

In Exodus 33:20, is where God told a human that we cannot see him and Live, for those of you who want to examine that further. Whatever the experience of seeing God is, it would just be too much for us to experience. God allowed Moses to see his Back, but not his face. Really God just allowed Moses to see the back side " Of his Glory." So God is withdrawn, but really only to " Protect us" in one sense. His Glory is just too much for a human to experience outhand. So God deals with humanity from a distance. He uses terms that we can understand. And he cares enough about us, to NOT REVEAL himself! Or it would just kill us all.

So were talking about a being, not some kind of Medusa freak, but a being of such " Great Glory", and glory is also " Goodness", that he is just way far beyond our realm of existance. Gods level of exiatence is so powerful, that it can wipe out our existence. And he knows this, so God has to be careful with how he exposes himself.

So one of the reasons God is " Withdrawn from humanity", is because he has to be, or he would place us in grave danger. Read Isaian 42:14, and 1:15, God will keep silent for very long periods of time. And this is personality. He knows hes very powerful, he knows he waits on nobody and everything serves him. He knows he has all of eternity to even get around to doing , anything that he wants to do. He knows there is no power to stop or challange him, he knows that he gets everything that he wants. And these are reasons why God takes his time doing anything. God is very, VERY patient. I mean hes in no rush to do anything. And if you consider it, why should he?

So we can reconize personality IN God, by considering HIS ways and means of behavior. And I want to open that up some more.

Peace.

So understand that God is not in a hurry to reveal himself to us, neither me or you need worry about not understanding him. Our time will come, he will see to that. God is withdrawn from humanity, NOT because we are a bunch of filthy sinners and he is so righteous, that he can't stand his own children. Hes just on a different level than us, he exist in a totally different reality than we do. And because he is in that reality, no flesh, or nothing made of matter, can survive in his world! And we were NOT created to survive in heaven while in our flesh, no fleshly body will be in Gods Kingdom. Our destiny is to be transformed from this world that we know, and be Born again into a whole new reality with God, then we shall see him as he is.

And every last one of us will experience this " New Birth." The born again experience that Christians are teaching is rubbish! You cannot be Born again in a fleshly body. Being Born again, means simply that, your old world has died, and you are placed into a totally new one. Your body will not be the same, your mind willnot be the same, and your experience with God and Christ willnot be the same! EVER AGAIN! You will be " Actually Born Again!". Transformed into the same being and likeness that Jesus NOW IS!

But I tell you, christians have misinterpited the new birth so bad, the errors are just too deep and well established, for hardly any of them to come out of the deceptions in this life, but only the one to come.

God is Longsuffering and he will forgive you until you need no more forgiveness. There is no such thing as a sinner that God willnot forgive. God LOVES Sinners, and he Lives to give us Life! God knows how to make each of us come to know him.

And he is patient in his work on each of us.

Peace.

Look at the scriptures on the fruits of the Spirit in the bible in the book of Galations, they are a perfect reflection of the personality of God. Longsuffering and Patience are two of them. Each fruit listed is an extension of the raw personality of God, but each fruit to the HIGHEST! Love to the highest, joy to the highest and kindness to the highest and beyond. It is from these advanced levels of Goodness That God draws his personality. He really, really is gentle and Kind, I mean, thats how God really is. Its also how he rules his subjects and creations. When the ruler is righteous, the people rejoice.

God Loves because he likes to Love, he just likes it. And I believe this is why God hates the false gospels being preached in his name. People going around condeming each other and being hard on unbelievers and teaching that God will place so many of his unbelieving children in this insane hell lava lake of unmercy. These people do not know God, they have just convinced themselves that they do.

They cannot see Love and Joy in God, Kindness in him, because this perverted hell belief is a horrible blind spot.

God has a personality, he is a personage. A Being. A living being with a mind, or minds. The bible says that God has Seven Spirits, so I think its possible he may have upwards of Seven minds, because eveyting that I know of that has a Spirit, has a mind to go along with it. Its human to have one of things, but who knows whats going on in heaven. But I wouldnot limit God, that would be foolish. God is very strange and unique. But also interesting and unsettleing.

And I want to go into that.

Peace.

[Mickiel]

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.

I think its really a shame what people have done with the perceived personality of God, just done him a horrible injustice, and I am talking about believers in God. Believers have done far more damage to the perception of God, than anythingelse BUT satan himself. But satan has used believers, like a Spirit that milks a cow, satan has used religious folks like a pied piper leading a group of rats. People actually believe that other people can explain how God is. So religious believers have been granted a platform by satan, who masquerades as God, to actually think that they represent God, and thus can explain him to the world.

And this is the area we are in now, instead of Gods word carrying humanity into the future, its actually mans word about God, that is being taught to humanity. There is no man, myself included, that can tell you about God. The bible is right there to tell us, but we prefer to listen to other people expound on God, and take " Their Word for it." A type of satanic reverse pathology that has induced untold of perversions. In Luke 3:6;" ALL flesh shall SEE the Salvation of God." Thats our destiny, our future in a nutshell. Instead of believing this, we would rather listen to a theologian, or read a book, or listen to a popular televangelist and let them mold our view of God. So Gods personality has been mocked, or traced onto our minds like a child would trace a picture already given it, in order to produce its own picture of the picture. It then has a picture of a picture, and the preconceived notion continues on to each generation.

And I want to go into how that has distorted our view of God. Because listen, getting to know God, is getting to know HIS personality, not the personality of the person speaking and teaching about God! Peace.

[Mickiel]

All things aside, the best way to get to know Gods personality, wouldn't you think it best to be taught that from God himself? Or do you need a pastor or teacher? Where is your confidence in God, is it invested in others? 1John 2:27;" And as for YOU, the anointing which you received " From Him" abides in you, and you have no NEED for anyone to teach you, but as HIS anointing teaches you about ALL THINGS!" This is the true path in comming to know how God really is. God has to do this for whoever he sees as one he looks to open himself to.

Its the Need that throws people off, they think they need others to teach them about God. What human is a better teacher than Gods Holy Spirit? People defend their pastors and teachers, because they NEED them.

The way to understand God is not pastors and teachers.

Peace.

God is a Fulham fan...

[Mickiel]

God is Gentle. One of the most confusing aspects of Gods perceived personality, is his Wrath. People read the bible and see all the killing God has done himself to humans, and all the killing of humans from humans that he has allowed, and they think that God is strict and firm and mean. Nothing could be further from the truth. Gods personality shouldNOT be judged by events in the bible that involved death. Because death means nothing to God, anyone God has killed or allowed to be killed, hes going to give them a better life again anyway.

Gods wrath is his " Reaction to Sin", not to the sinner. God does not like sin, but he Loves humans. When God decided to create humanity, he also created a volitle mixture of Sin, Evil and suffering and death, NONE of these things existed before humans did. So they exist " For our benefit!" I know that sounds weird, but it is nonetheless true. They are integral parts of our grooming. And God will eliminate all of those things, but NOT humanity.

Compared to eternity, our human existance is relatively short. And our creation is perhaps the most harsh thing God has ever done, when it comes to creating evil. He does not like evil, but he is obviously using it, like a master potter would use a knife. So this evil stuff in our creation is against Gods nature and personality, and he shouldnot be judged by untaught views of him. God is really gentle and passive. Sweet natured and happy in his persona. He has a whole lot of pure Joy, and is always happy.

Although God is using things that are powerful, his heart is gentle, which is a salvation garentee for weak minded humans like myself, who have surcummed to sin so much. We have a God who cares for us, no matter what.

Peace.
