The Bible reveals God as a “personality” to us.  As the “living and true God,” He demonstrates self -consciousness and self-determination.  Mankind, made in God’s image, also possesses these qualities.  Animals do not.  Science fiction fantasies such as “Blade Runner,” and “The Terminator,” suggest that at some point – computers will become self-aware. This is not likely to happen – despite the best efforts of science and the “singularity” agenda.  The soul of man was “breathed” into Adam directly from God – and cannot be simulated. 

God’s personality is revealed through what he does

• God loves.  John 3:16 – For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
• God hates.  Prov. 6:16,19 –¹⁶ These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto Him:¹⁷ A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,¹⁸ An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,¹⁹ A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
• God cares.  1 Pet.5:7 – Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you.
• God grieves.  Gen.6:6 –  And it repented the Lord that He had made man on the earth, and it grieved Him at His heart.

With all the different things in this world that people worship – money, fame, technology, houses, jobs, status, jewelry, etc…how it must hurt the LORD when objects are placed before Him in our hearts.  Appliances and even automobiles that respond and interact with people are contained only in the imaginations of  science fiction and New Age authors.  Programmed responses from “smart” technology is not a relationship.  When the advances are made in science to the point of merging man, machine, animal – and quite possibly fallen angels,  in laboratories  – these entities will not be human beings made in the image of God.  Only a personality can love, hate, care, grieve and have relationships.  God must be a living, eternal, and personal being. 

1 Thessalonians 1:9-10

King James Version (KJV)

⁹ For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;

¹⁰ And to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.

He is life, and therefore, the only source of life

John 5:26                                   

King James Version (KJV)

For as the Father hath life in Himself; so hath He given to the Son to have life in Himself
