Does it make sense to address God,as a divine gentle man

[Jerry1023]

Please your opinion can be of help,i love to address God as a divine gentle man,if you give God attention he will give you direction,even when you refuse to give God attention, he will still give you direction,especially if you are a chosen vessel like Paul Acts9:15-16" my bible tells me never to lean on my own understanding,Proverbs 3:-5” moses address God as a man of war,exodus 15:3" i'm a good listener,who desire to learn,if it is wrong i will stop it,to the glory of God.

No because God is not a man.He is God.

[Openly Curious]

No because it is true God is divine and gentle and is our Heavenly Father.

Blessings Brother Jerry,

    God bless you & you already know my opinion in this matter but let me just add that in that particular Verse of Scripture it is to be viewd in context of the subject matter.....Moses said"the Lord is a man of war(not a divine gentle man ),the Lord is His Name"....God inspired His Word through Moses describing the action He took in behalf of man.......to read it in Hebrew is much more descriptive,God the Father describes Himself in the likeness of man,humbled as Jesus was becoming a man in position of servitude....which God the Father & God the Son are One,and always were ,they are & always shall be.......God is the Same Loving Father in the Old Testament as He is in the New Testament & this description of the ACTION He took is confirmation of that,as His Word never contradicts itself as we read,"God is NOT a man that He could lie" as it is written in Numbers 23:19

Hello Jerry,

 

When you address God as a divine gentle man what does this mean ? Is this like suggesting God has the exemplary qualities of  gentleman ?

Yes @ ninhao,i heard it first from my bishop,he always address God as divine gentle man,in the sense that God is not a respecter of anybody,if a person draw near to God,he will also draw near to the person,when man work,man work on his own,but when man's pray,God answer as a miracle worker,because as far as,there is a man to pray,there is a God to answer,some times,God never come into a situation that he is not invited,he changeth not,but he has the power to change any ungodly situation,in my native language,we address God with many names,to the glory of his name alone.

The Divine Gentle Man

 

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Matthew 11:28-30

See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand. For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever.

 

If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me. I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.

 

Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, and to his people. Deuteronomy 32:39-43

And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

 

And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever. Revelation 20:11-14

 

The Son Of Man

 

I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.

I am uncomfortable refering to Him as "divine gentleman" because the Bible uses a lot of names/descriptions to refer to Him. That is not one of them. The word "gentleman" has to do with good breeding, family or social position. I know, it has other meanings as well but none of them define God. The terms that are in the scriptures best describe Him and His attributes.

 

just my two cents...
