Is God a person?

Does might make right? Most would agree that doctors are smarter than the average bear, or at least they have more time to devote to their specialty. A person who could kill someone smarter due to brute force is better? Or are they just lucky?

I’m certain that I’m smarter than the average bear, even if the bear devotes more time to its specialty. ( For this argument I am assuming that the bear’s specialty is eating, drinking, mating, and pooping in the woods).

Haha ok it was my birthday and I had a bit too much to drink. I myself am not even sure what the hell I was talking about.

I think you nailed it! God is certainly Personal, but God is also trans-Personal. I get the impression that people who affirm the existence of God but deny the Divine Personality in favor of a Process or a Pantheist view think they are saying God is more than just a Big Powerful Human but it seems also at times they are really saying that God is impersonal energy that may manifest personality only through us & other sentient beings.

To simplify that rather confusing rambling I just uttered- those who deny God’s Personhood may think they are saying that God is more than a Person but often appear to be saying that God is less than a Person.

Didn’t mean to suggest that God is not a personal God. God is personal to each of us as well as the Oneness in which all things exist. God’s personality is unconditional love shown to all of God’s creation. If you wish to think of God as a loving Father, fine, it will fit. There is no real distinction of male or female in the spiritual world, sorry, no sex. Those who expect to receive virgins will find themselves without the tool to do anything about it.
