The question "Who is God?" is a good question. It is better than asking "What is God?" This is because God exists, created us, loves us, is concerned for our being, desires to provide for us, and sent the Son to redeem us. If we were to ask "What is God?" we might be tempted to say that God is the infinite being, the creator, a presence, or something like that. In some respect, this would be true. But the first question brings us closer to understanding more of who God really is in His character and His love for us as revealed in the Bible.
The Bible teaches us that in all existence, from all eternity, there has been and always will be only one God. God was never created, is completely loving, completely just, completely holy, completely merciful, and that He desires the best for us. God is holy and He can have nothing to do with sin as the Bible says, "His eyes are too pure to look upon evil," (Hab. 1:13). This does not mean that God cannot see what someone does that is wrong. It is a way of describing how holy God is. God cannot sin. He is perfect.
In Christianity, God is a Trinity. This means that God is three persons, not three gods. Technically, the doctrine of the Trinity states that in the one God is the person of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Each is not the same person as the other; yet there are not three gods but one. This is similar in analogy to the nature of time. Time is past, present, and future. The past is not the same as the present, which is not the same as the future. But, there are not three times. There is only one thing called time.
The reason the word "person" is used in describing the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit is because each exhibits attributes of personhood -- not in a body of flesh and bones, but in personality. In other words, each has a will, loves, speaks, is aware of others, communicates with others, etc. These are attributes of personhood and we see the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit each demonstrate these qualities.
Because of the Trinity, God can become flesh in the form of the Son, and still exist in such a way so that He can run the universe. Therefore, the Son can communicate to us on our level.
Following are a couple verses that hint at the Trinity.

Matt. 28:19, "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit."
2 Cor. 13:14, "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all."
The Bible says there is only one God: "I am the Lord, and there is no other;
Besides Me there is no God," (Isaiah 45:5). Yet, the Bible teaches that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are each called God.
Below is a very brief chart that shows that each of the persons in the Trinity share the same attributes that only God shares. But remember, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit each have wills, and speak, etc. Therefore, we say there are are three persons.

Sometimes. But, one of His attributes is HE IS A LOVING GOD. Why God become angry? Because His creation is not doing the way He expected it the most. Since He is a loving God, he doesn't like seeing His people doing evil. Then and only then He can be angry. Remember Jesus, at the temple courts. He got angry because, he had seen that the temple was used as a business center instead regard it as a house of prayer.

Only if you are a wicked rebel or a disobedient child. Was your father always angry to think God is always angry? Do you have a full range of emotions? God does too only He never does wrong. We are told to be angry and sin not and to not let the sun go down upon our wrath. We are to practice forgiveness as God does. Have you asked His forgiveness of sins so your sins will be forgotten?

God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.
(Psalms 7:11)

God does not like sin. It makes Him angry. Good thing that He loves us and made a way to obtain redemption through the ultimate Sacrifice in His Son Jesus Christ!!!

Exodus 34
6 And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, "The LORD, the LORD, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, 7 maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children and their children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation."

I have said many times on this site, I am a Christian, & God is first a God of Love, Then a God of Judgement, Then a God of Wrath.

God's anger is about people messing up their own and other people's lives. But the truly awesome thing about God is that he loves and forgives people, over and over again. Each time you think he can't take you back as his child, he reassures you in some way that he still loves you, usually when you open your Bible and it's exactly at the one verse you needed most at that moment. That's my experience...

Nope, not at all.....


The belief in an all-powerful deity that intercedes is a rather interesting belief system considering I see no intervention in the killings and slaughter that go on throughout the world today or even in the past.

It is up to us, and some magical being that tosses lightning bolts from the skies down on non-believers.

We need to 'make a difference' if we can.

He most certainly can be when it is merited, but He is much more than that - He is Just and Judge as well. And He is love, and he also has wrath, which will be revealed when He judges those who have come to him and those who have rejected him. He's justified in being angry, if his creation rejects it's creator, wouldn't you agree?
