GOD'S
ATTRIBUTES IN THE BIBLE
JACOB WRESTLES
WITH GOD
(This title is taken from the New
International Version of the Bible)
[Gen. 32:22]
Jacob wrestled God who said to him,
"Let me go; for the day is breaking" But Jacob said,
"I will not let you go unless you bless me. And he said to
him, "What is your name? And he said "Jacob" Then the
Lord said, "Your name shall be no more called Jacob but Israel,
for you have striven with God and with men, and have prevailed. Then
Jacob asked him, "Tell me, I pray your name. But he said,
"Why is it that you ask my name?"
And there he blessed
him. So Jacob called the name of the place "Pen'el"
saying: For I have seen God face to face."

For in six days the Lord made heaven
and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.

sleep, and like a mighty man that shouts by reason of wine.

forever.

Why do you forget us forever, why do
you so long forsake us?
DOES HE REGRET
?
[Gen. 6:6]
And the Lord was sorry that
he made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart. [he
said]:
[Gen 6:7] "For I am sorry that
I have made them."
DOES HE ABUSE
HIMSELF ?
[Jer. 10:18]
For thus says the Lord, Woe is me
for my hurt! my wound is grievous.
DOES HE ORDER
HIS PEOPLE TO STEAL ?
[Exo. 13:21]
God ordered the people of Israel to
BORROW FROM THE EGYPTIANS THEIR JEWELS
AND THEN TO GET AWAY WITH THEM WHEN
LEAVING EGYPT WITH MOSES. (See in details Exodus 3:22 & 11:1
& 12:35)
DOES HE CLAP ?
[Ezek. 21:17]
I will strike my hands together.
[Ezek. 22:13] Therefore I
smite my hand. (in K.J.V. Smite)
THE DENIAL OF
HIS MERCY AND JUSTICE
[Zech. 1:2]
O Lord of hosts, how long WILL YOU
NOT HAVE MERCY ON JERUSALEM.
[Psalm 82:2]
HOW LONG WILL YOU JUDGE UNJUSTLY ?!!
[Job 12:21]
He [God} pours contempt upon
princes, and weakens the strength of the mighty HE INCREASES THE
NATIONS, AND DESTROYS THEM. He takes away the heart of the
chief of the people of the earth and causes them to wander in the
wilderness where there is no way. They grope in the dark without
light, and he makes them to stagger like a drunken man.
IS THERE
JUDGMENT ?
[Job 19:6]
God has overthrown me, and has
compassed me with his net. Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not
heard, I cry loud, but THERE IS NO JUDGMENT. He has fenced up my way
that I cannot pass, and he has set darkness in my paths.
MOTHERS EAT
THEIR CHILDREN !!
[Lam. 2:20]
Look O Lord, why are you punishing
us like this ? Women are eating the bodies of their children they
loved.
[Lam. 3:18]
MY HOPE IN THE LORD IS GONE.
(According to the Good News Bible known as To Day
English's Language.) 42
We have sinned and rebelled, and you O Lord have not forgiven us.
You pursued us and killed, YOUR MERCY WAS HIDDEN BY YOUR ANGER.
SLAYING WITHOUT PITY, YOU HAVE WRAPPED YOURSELF WITH A CLOUD SO THAT
NO PRAYER CAN PASS THROUGH.
[Lam. 4:4]
The tongue of the nursling cleaves
to the roof of its mouth for thirst, the children beg for food.
8 Their visage is blacker than
soot.. Their skin has shriveled upon their bones.
The HANDS OF THE COMPASSIONATE WOMEN
HAVE BOILED THEIR OWN CHILDREN. THEY BECAME THEIR FOOD in the
destruction of the daughter of my people. The Lord gave full
vent to his wrath, and poured out his hot anger, and he kindled a
fire in Zion.
