Is God’s Character Good and Bad?

Some people believe God’s character is both good and bad and dependent on situational ethics will determine which mood He will exhibit...His good mood or His bad mood. Really now...are we serving such a fickle God that what we do or don’t do determines His mood as to how He treats us? If that is our understanding of God our understanding is a misunderstanding of our awesome, consistent, unchanging, lovable and loving God!

God's reason for creating us humans was not so mankind would cower from Him in fear and understand Him as unreachable, unknowable, unlikeable, unappreciative, uncaring, a unloving egotistical deity who as a superiority complex so large and a revenge attitude so wild, that He watches for our wrong-doings so He can swat us with calamities and beat us into submission because we have failed to please Him. And according to some “loving Christians” (at least by their claim they are”) believe God is and I quote: “The God that holds you over the pit of hell, much as one holds a spider, or some loathsome insect over the fire, abhors you, and is dreadfully provoked: his wrath towards you burns like fire; he looks upon you as worthy of nothing else, but to be cast into the fire; he is of purer eyes than to bear to have you in his sight; you are ten thousand times more abominable in his eyes, than the most hateful venomous serpent is in ours.”

This egotistic, sadistic, revengeful, angry, hateful, selfish view of God is a carry over from the pagan view that their gods were appeased by the people succumbing to the religious rules and ceremonies of their deceived warped understanding and is now projected on the one true God. Does that mean that God is like that? Off course not, just because men believe it does not make it so, it is merely a figment of a dis-eased warped mind set.

The one and only true God is all-loving, all-gracious, all-receptive, all-patient, all-powerful, all-joyful, all-peaceful, all-giving, all-generous, all-good, all-glorious, all-knowable all-caring, and the all-forgiving One who wants, and will have, the whole earth to be filled with the knowledge of His glory and of His gracious self!
