I was asked that once, and I said "He's a lot like us, only he knows everything and never does anything wrong".

I don't know if that's exactly correct. But there are many similarities between God of the old testament and Jesus of the new. Both have amazing authority. When Jesus says something, it is true. When he commands, it is done. Both have incredible mercy. Both are nothing that is not expected from anyone else.

If you have never stood before God and felt afraid, then probably you have never stood before God. You have stood before an idol of your own making. Worse, your life will remain silly and superficial because you worship a silly and superficial god.

Fear if the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.

What is fear. Two examples. While in the air your plane drops 5,000 feet. While driving down the road, a car pulls out in front of you.

What is the essence of fear?

1) your life is on the balance
2) you are not in control of the situation.

That is meeting God. Having met God, you do not live in fear but it is good to visit it once in a while..............

Don’t try to figure what God is like or you may end up deeply depressed if you can’t find the answer. If I knew the answer I would gladly inform my FRiends.

What is God Like?

Well for starters.....you don’t want to get on his bad side.

He is gracious, wise and loving, but with a righteous anger he can shown on occasion.

President Trump exhibits many similar qualities tomhow God is described biblically. Of course, Trump isn’t a perfect match (no man can ever measure trulumuo to Him)but he’s as close as we’ve known in centuries

“If something we think about God violates what we know of Jesus, what he taught, and how he acted, then that thought lies.”

That would only be true if we knew everything there is to know about Jesus, which is not humanly possible. Not only that, everything we know about Jesus would have to be correct, and there are a lot of people who believe things that aren’t true.

“God isn’t angry.”

After 60 million murdered babies, I wonder.

I fully expect to be asked why I didn’t do more.

Either he has a great sense of humor or I am having a really good run of bad luck.

I like Mercy Me's version through I Can Only Imagine

God is so AWESOME we can ponder and imagine all we want and never get close to the awesome truth - of a God who invites us into eternity with Him and it will never get old/stale/tiresome....

It’s not our mission to conceptualize God

Regina Spektor - “Laughing With”

“No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war
No one’s laughing at God when they’re starving or freezing or so very poor”
