I know the real God is captured in the bible. But tell me in simpler terms who he is. (Yes, i know he is god. But what is the real God like?) There have been different ideas of what God really is and we tend to project a certain image of God according to our liking. Tell me, who is the real Him?

The bible refers to Jesus as "(He is) the image of the invisible God.." -Colossians 1:15
In what way is Jesus the image of God...look into the mirror and you'll see exactly yourself. Jesus reflects God as he has the same characteristics as he is.
Jesus was compassionate to the poor, he fed thousands of hungry people.
Jesus was merciful, he forgave the sins of many and heal them, sickness, lameness, blindness, even those possessed by demons.
Jesus was and is a great lover of righteousness, including a deep and tender love for those who, though imperfect, sincerely strive after righteousness. He chose a tax collector to be his follower rather than highly educated people because he sees not of one's position but he sees the heart.
He is mild, peaceable, friendly and very patient. He taught even the little children, healed the lepers when others were abandoning people with such illnesses.
At the same time he has a strong hatred for all that is lawless, including those who prove they are willfully committed to their evil ways. He showed anger at the temple when he saw the people making it as a commercial place...

The best concept of God that I ever read was in the book "Seth Speaks". It is a fascinating read. The concept of God and the true nature of reality encompasses many pages of the book. God is referred to as All That Is. And All That Is, is God. I like that definition better than an anthropomorphized God that sits "up high" somewhere in "Heaven", beyond the clouds, and "looks down" on us from afar.

A great light that gives life, no form, no shape, with such power flowing through him that it will shatter the body if seen in human form. Life over flows from within your soul to witness this presence. It is different to everyone, God gives us the consciousness to understand him as we believe.

ok, God is the creator of the Earth and everything in the Earth, everything that is man amde is made by a person God created, some people ask "if marijuana was amde by God, then why shouldn't I be able to smoke it?" God made marijuana for medical purposes, just a little thing there, he is the ruler of everything.
"God is a man cuz we say 'our father'"
this is not true
"God is a woman"
whichjis not true either, God does not have a gender because he is not human, he is a spirit, hence the trinity(the Father, Son and Holy Ghost)

Have you read Genesis? God is depicted as angry, impatient, jealous, disgusted, remorseful at having created the human species, vengeful, and even a little egotistical at times. He tolerated slavery and polygamy, and a few other things; but he did not tolerate disbelief. God gave humans their free agency, and they exerted their free agency, and he got angry.
The last we heard from God, in the time of the prophet Malachi, he was considering smiting the Earth with a curse.
It says in the Bible that God is the same forever, unchanging. So I guess we can assume God is just as he was in Genesis.
Let us pray for mercy.

It's hard to explain, God is Love, that he step down from Heaven an became flesh, that is Jesus and He dwelt amonged us and we knew Him not, The people in the bible said show us the Father that is God, Jesus said you see me you see the Father, Because He is God who manifested in the flesh. Read the book of John in the bible because John was the closes to Jesus.

God is Love, wild and free.
God is compassionate, caring, wise and just.
And Joyful.
He does what He must, to perfect us so that we may be fit to stand in His Presence. But He's looking for lovers, not victims. If we wish to stay away from Him, He will respect that wish.

God is someone full of love for us sinners he's almighty and powerful.After all he sent his son to die on the cross for our sins so we can go be with him in heaven some day if we chose to do so.Now isn't that love.Ask yourself would you die so that someone that would continues to sins over and over again could go to heaven knowing that that some of them will curse and deny you?

The real God created us but Satan tempts us to not believe that.Luckily,you came to the right person,myself,I am a Christian and I know all about God.You know how the "Trinity" works.It may not make sense but God is three people in one.The Fathe,Son,and Holy Spirit make the trinity.God is all three,you know why?Cuz god can do anything.God had no beginig,he just always was.
