Maybe because he made man and loves him?
...& punished severely if they don't love back properly.This is what I see as the point of the Genesis Myth. That Humans are loved.
They don't have to be, but that doesn't change the fact that they are.
I'd rather an all-powerful being not be subject to rage, hatred or jealousy.
Of course He does. He's God.
I will share how this process works for me.It is more of a place of being then anything.Take the strongest feeling of love and multiply it over and over and its like basking in a sea of this love.Every limiting thought disipates and all negativity just vanishes. It seems every cell in the body becomes alive with energy and you are just rejuvinating new life into the body.Every bad and evil thought you have even toward your worst enemies turns into thoughts of love and you can't even stop praying for those you you thought you hated most.It is a universal love does not even exist inside of yourself but just seems to come into your heart and take over.You can feel sickness and alien energies in your body being destroyed from this place and its as though you just release it through your consciousness.Death completely looses its sting and fear cannot even dwell in the same place.Your consciousness opens wide open and is not contracted around thoughts period.It is like a light is turned on inside of you and all of the garbage and limiting thoughts you have held onto just leave and is replaced with more love and an over whelming feeling of peace.Depression and other mental illnesses are just let go of and released as they can't dwell in this presence of energy.All nagging voices you may have had in the back of your mind making you think you have to do this or that or have this or that to be happy are suddenly vanished and you are just left with a quiet mind and a sense that is all is well and left to be in peace and joy.This doesn't answer my question, though.
I wrote: You mentioned communicating via your soul and 'conscious' - that's what I'm interested in. How do you do it and how is it a verifiable means of communication? What are the processes involved?
Do we know that God got to decide or choose and pick his emotions?
Well, He just wouln't be all-powerful if He couldn't have those emotions now could He?I'd rather an all-powerful being not be subject to rage, hatred or jealousy.
We don't know anything. You're just guessing anyway. My point was that you said you'd rather have a God that was loving, etc. rather than just a cold robot. But that would also mean that God would be subject to bad emotions like hatred, jealousy, fear and rage. I could do without a god that had those qualities, even if it meant he was also without the good qualities.
This is why I'm convinced the christian god does not exist. I believe if a god does exsist god would most certainly be purely almighty. Not limited to the flaws of human emotions.
Ok, well I was thinking about humans when I posted that, not God.
Well, He just wouln't be all-powerful if He couldn't have those emotions now could He?
So, my comment was that, if you want God to be like that, you also advocate a god that is jealous, afraid and feels hatred.
I agree. If God is everything, then he must also be the bad things. Otherwise it's an invalid statement.
My position is emotions are not bad things, we have them for a reason and they serve a purpose. Humans fail yes but personhood emotions aren't bad. Can you help explain how emotions are bad.

So, you don't consider rage and hatred to be bad?
