An ideal True Christian™ Man as the spitting image of God.
The Bible tells us that God created man in His image (Genesis 1:27). That means that there are similarities between God and men. Where are they? People die, and God is eternal (e.g., Psalm 90:1-4, Isaiah 26:4). God is in the Trinity, while every man is just plain himself. However, we can clearly see that God has some personality traits which are not uncommon among men. Below is a list of God’s personality traits that are described in the Holy Bible; a True Christian™ Man should aspire to possess as many of these Godly characteristics as possible.
1. God is strong.
2. God is fierce.
Psalm 78:49
He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them.
Isaiah 13:9
Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
See also Jeremiah 4:8, 4:26, 12:13, 25:37, Lamentations 4:11, Revelation 19:15.
3. God is jealous.
See also Exodus 34:14, Deuteronomy 4:24, 5:9, 6:15, Nahum 1:2.
4. God is vindictive, punishing guilty and their innocent families.
5. God loves war.
Exodus 15:3
The Lord is a man of war: the Lord is his name.
6. God is greedy.
7. God is mean, giving bad laws just to make people suffer and to punish them.
8. God knows no mercy.
1 Samuel 15:3
Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.
See also Judges 21:10, Ezekiel 9:6.
9. God enjoys cruelty.
Psalm 137:9
Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.
10. God enjoys misguiding people.
11. God enjoys putting people in difficult situations, making bets on their behavior.
Job 1:8-22
8 And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?
9 Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?
10 Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
11 But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.
12 And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the Lord.
13 And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:
14 And there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them:
15 And the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away; yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
16 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
17 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have carried them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
18 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:
19 And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
20 Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,
21 And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.
22 In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.

25 Wherefore I gave them also statutes that were not good, and judgments whereby they should not live;

. Anyone who would be willing to lie on your behalf is probably already Hell bound anyway.
