god vs man

today at the end of class we started to discuss how god is supposed to be very different from man, how the distinction between what is human and the characteristics of god are clear. but from what i have read, i think god is very similar to humans. he shares many traits with man and are now considered to be natural human instincts. in genesis god has made mistakes, he is not perfect. after the flood he admits that it was a mistake to wipe out humanity. humans make mistakes, we are fallible. later when faced with the destruction of sodom and gomorrah, god changes his mind. abraham talks to god and reasons with him. This shows that god is open to debate at least in this instance and can be persuaded to think a certain way. Humans are always thinking, changing, and evolving, which is what god does in this passage with Abraham. Later in exodus god says that he is jealous and he decrees that humans should not be jealous. Now at some point in every one’s life they have been jealous of someone or something. This is part of human nature, we have unlimited wants and limited resources to get those wants. However humans usually don’t want to admit they are jealous or have “undesirable” traits. Perhaps this is why god is seen as different from humans. He knows he is jealous and he admits it. Maybe he knows his true self and has reached some sort of higher understanding of the universe because of it.
