Representation of God in the BibleThroughout the Bible God can be represented in many different ways. In some chapters of the Bible we see that God is a compassionate and loving God, willing to do anything for his people. In contradiction to this, in other chapters of the Bible God can be found trying to instill fear in people to believe in him or do what he wants them to do. In both cases it shows how God can be seen differently and why believers can have doubts about what God is really like. In the first book of the Bible, Genesis, we can see that God has a kind of bipolar attitude. In the opening chapters God is shown as a caring person as he creates the earth and when he talks about how he wants Adam and Eve to succeed and do well and how he gives Adam a companion, Eve, because he feels that Adam will be alone. As the book progresses, God becomes very angry at the way his world is going. Sin has been introduced and humans seem to be drifting away from the righteous. This shocks God and creates the idea that he will flood the world so that only Noah and the people and animals inside the ark will live. His intentions seem horrible, trying to kill humans because they have sinned, but in reality he is trying to rid the world of sin so that the remaining humans live wonderful lives free of pain and despair. Flooding can be seen as both a positive and a negative thing. Nonbelievers might find fault with the idea that God felt he had to punish the world because of how sinful the people of the earth had become. To help promote their ideas they could use Bible statements like this one that express God's feelings about how dissatisfied he seems to be with the inhabitants of the earth: "The Lord was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was full of sorrow" (Genesis 6:6). It is also revealed when God says: "I will destroy all men, because the earth is full of violence because of them. I will surely destroy them and the earth" (Genesis 6:13). .In Genesis the way women are treated directly shows all the work women have done to achieve equality.
