God is

NOT

rude or boastful. When you read Paul's description of the indescribable in his letter to his friends in Corinth- the Corinthians, you see him searching for words to try to explain how LOVE is, which is a way of describing how God is, as John tells us God is Love. So if Love is kind, patient, long suffering, forebearing, etc. so is God tautologically.

God is NOT rude or boastful, self absorbed, quick to take offense, etc.

If Paul were alive today, he would likely add a few- because there does appear to be a misunderstanding about his nature even in high places.

God is not mean, he is not petty, he is not politically vindictive, he is not spiteful. So why does the church get that way?

Anything not Love is not God. Not God doesn't belong in the church. That comes from some other place.
