Re: Do the Haters Know the Man? ... Att. Seminole
So when we say does not possess anger or hate or other attributes, do you mean non-existent or used when appropriate. A man can have anger but also know how to control it and supplant it with affection the same we know Gods mercy prevails over his wrath.
One doesn't "possess" anger and hate. They are emotions - imperfect emotions. So whether God "possesses" them isn't the point - it's whether or not he deals with man with imperfect emotions. The words, commandents and actions represent these imperfections, not whether or not he possesses them.
But your example of a man having anger but controlling it is not a good example as the religious texts I mentioned demonstrate that God hasn't controlled these imperfections.
