I intuit that the "traditional" view of God is either a personal opinion or at most a "community" opinion about God and is a not so veiled attempt to redefine a biblical view of who God is. There are far more references in the Bible to God being an all loving, grace filled, unconditional loving God then otherwise. References to Israel's history in the OT sometimes is confusing and many personalize those phrases... it is unfortunate. Romans Chapter 8 and 1st Corinthians Chapter 13 in the NT for example are treatises on the redefinition of how God is to be viewed in relationship with each of us personally made completely possible by what Jesus Christ achieved on our behalf in connection with Faith. The idea of sin, albeit viewed as" old fashioned", is a stumbling block for many.... the idea of being a sinful person and having personal, infinite value as a person are often confused..... In truth, both are different ideas and both are true and both truths are made very clear in the biblical text.... to remove this "downside"(sin) of a person that indeed can destroy him/her along with those in relationship indeed was an act of love on the Father's part through Jesus Christ, with no contribution from mankind at all. .... does it make sense ? .... actually, no. But, nevertheless it is. Truthfully, I have found it to make more sense as time passes.... as I become more acquainted with the total biblical view of what God has to say, it just does. And so, my faith grows in this process because my mind is open to the spirituality that is in Jesus Christ and His unconditional love for me. I literally long to spiritually touch that love on a daily basis..... For God to reach out and intervene in my daily affairs to love me in this way is hardly, "insecure". Actually, it speaks more of my own insecurity. . . So much more to say.... but, thanks for the opportunity to write this short paragraph on this subject.... God is Love (1st John 4:8) sincerely, Chris Good list, although I take issue with your first item.

Would it be okay with you if I type in a comment the ones that seem missing? I love this…. but I think you have a larger list somewhere.
