God Characterization Genesis Sections 4-9

I think that God as a character is very powerful and could even be violent at sometimes. For example he said "I have determined to make an end to all flesh; for the earth is filled with violence through them; behold, I will destroy them with the earth." but also God can be merciful. For example God said "I will never again curse the ground before man, for the imagination of mans heart is evil from youth; neither will I ever again destroy living creatures as I have done." This also shows that he might even regret what he has done. God can also be respectful, mainly to the people that worship him, for example he said this to Noah somebody who worships him before making the flood and killing everyone Also take with you every sort of food that is eaten, and store it up; and it shall serve as food for you and for them." I also have a new look on God, I always used to think of him as somebody who always loved and never used violence, but now I realize that he isn't all about that. Sometimes he will use violence to solve problems and show how powerful he is. He also will punish people if they don't worship him and will have respect for them if they do worship him. In conclusion God can be violent and have authority to solve certain problems but at the same time he has respect for people that worship him and is mostly loving.
