With all due respect can you answer me this- Did God give us humans his emotional traits? Because whenever I read religious texts God is always either- Pleased- This is when you do as he says and worship him and offer sacrifice and let him know how great he is. Very angry and genocidal- This is when you stop worshipping him and he causes floods, earthquakes etc Jealous- This is when you worship other deities. Contradictory and a sadist- Says he loves you one minute and all is forgiven and then wants you to roast in hell the next for the slightest error and cuse you immense suffering for all eternity. Narcissistic and demanding- Demands worship and asks his prophets to tell everyone how great he is. Why is God like this? |
Often scriptures uses human emotions and well as body parts when describing something about God. For example God's eyes ,arms, hand yet He doesn't have actual eyes, arms and hands as He is a Spirit.
God personally judge Sodom and Gorrahah after
1) the city were captured and ensalved
2) Abraham with his servants went and defeat Chedorlsaomer and return all the goods to these cities
3) Dealing with Abraham that God would spare the cities for 10 rightous people
4) they tried to lay their hand on Lot after the fact he was the reason they were saved the begin with.
Notice the judgement was not sentenced on these cities until they tried to lay their hand on Lot. Lot was the key between mercy or judgement as Lot and Abraham showed mercy on them.
God is jealous over idols not because they are His equal (they are nothing) but how these gods effect the people.
