God is..😃😡






                  While reading Genesis chapter 6 through 9, we see a lot about God's characterization. God     shows frustration in the beginning. He wanted to create a Flood to destroy all people. He told a old man named Noah to create an ark and save all people. Noah did the right thing and obey God's command. He created an ark and followed what he was told by God. God showed kindness towards Noah. Noah was special to God.
                      In Genesis chapter 6 verse 3 it says “Then the LORD said, "My spirit shall not abide in man for ever, for he is flesh, but his days shall be a hundred and twenty years." God made Noah lived for 600 years even though he said that all people shall die at a hundred and twenty years.
                     God's characterization changed. God became nicer since he was pleased that Noah did the things that he was told.
                    Chapter 8 verse 21 says “And when the LORD smelled the pleasing odor, the LORD said in his heart, "I will never again curse the ground because of man, for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I ever again destroy every living creature as I have done." This showed that God became nicer. As a Christian I was always taught by elders that God is compassionate and loving. But in the Old Testament we can see that God can get frustrated easily. But he was thankful that Noah respected him. He is not always angry. God has a sensitive side too.
