Biblical Studies/Christianity/Christian Theology/Character of God

The Bible claims that God made mankind in His own image in Genesis 1:26. This does not equate that men are in the image of God and not women, as can be seen in Genesis 1:27, but rather that all of humanity possesses the Imago Dei. Christian theology strictly anthropomorphizes God as having a personality. Sometimes God is extremely angry and must kill whole towns; at other times, God appears infinitely compassionate. His human son, Jesus, is more renowned for compassion. The Bible does not record Jesus as having issued capital justice while on Earth. Love for humankind Incapable of evil, being bound by His character which itself gives definition to goodness Perfectly just Shows emotion Sorrow for mankind's folly and sinfulness Happiness when people repent Anger for mankind's rebellion against his commandments Has mercy on those who repent and believe in Him Does not lie
