Come on Jack. What type is God and why?

Show me your stuff (in a non-sexual way, of course).
HMM. If there were said "God," I'd say INTP or ENTP, because he's a starter, not a finisher.

Maybe ISFP. He likes to sculpt things out of clay.

I think God is an INTJ.

I'm having a tough time believing that God is an I. For instance, within Christianity and Judaism, God is an active God. In Judaism, God is amongst the minion when one is formed and there is a lot of praying going on within the Jewish community three times a day, every day. Likewise, I believe the Christian God is supposed to be among them when two or more are praying. And, I'm sure that's the same case for Muslims, and them folks are praying all day, practically.

And they all do this and believe this because God said he'd be with them during prayers. In other words, he volunteered to be with thousands of groups every day, all day, from here to the end of days. To me, that's not the mindset of an I.

I'm having a hard time with the T belief based on the compassion this guy supposedly has for his followers. I mean, a T would have said we are all failures after the Jesus thing, destroyed us all, and started over with a better plan.

The Christian God seems to give people a lot of chances. Especially when you consider that you can sin up the place all your life and then profess your belief in Jesus on your death be in order to get "Saved" at the last possible minute. I don't think a T would allow such a thing.

God must be an E, in Christianity, cos of that split into three. That's very extraverted :D

But, that belief is based on the justice of God. It's not just a belief in Jesus that is professed, it's a belief that he is the one who took the penalty for the individual's sin.

Good point, Geoff.

Right, I understand that. However, and ultimately, this is based on God's compassion for his creation, not justice.

You're missing my point. He's physically reclusive, yes. And that's accordingly to a myriad of reasons as to why he can't show himself - which I'm sure you are aware of, at least to a minor extent. He is, however, a spirit being that is everywhere at all times (i.e., omnipresent).

He got Mary pregnant without having sex with her.
Triple X is porn, dude. You're on the wrong site again.

Well isn't Jesus God's physical manifestation? I think Jesus was INFJ.

I'm gonna go with ENFJ.

What say you and why?

I thought ENTJ.

Why F?

Would an F really be capable of destroying an entire city over immorality?

On second thought, he does love all unconditionally.. seems like you could go through the bible and pull out several instances where he could be both T or F.

I gave my reasons above.

Dude . . . Are you telling me that Fs don't F-out?

True, but overall, Jesus saves and God forgives. Plus, within Christianity, God is a compassionate, good God. They push all the bad T stuff onto Satan.

Jewish G.d -> ISTP (an Irascible, Materialistic, Vengeful loner and not particularly well organized; rather arbitrary)

Catholic God-> ESFJ (Love, compassion, collectivism)

Reformed God-> ENFP (Ethics, benevolence, individualism)

Lutheran God-> ENTJ (Brutal CEO of the Universe)

Sunni God-> ESTJ (Superficial and exoteric; symbol of law and justice)

Shia God-> INTJ (Secretive and esoteric; symbol of law and justice)

Well done. But I disagree with your "Jewish G-d" description.

In general, I'm thinking that an S would be impossible, for all religions that I'm aware of,
since creating something from nothing seems like a non-sensory endeavor. In other words, there was nothing, he internally and intellectually envisioned something prior to its physically existence, then he/she/it brought it into existence.

Do you see what I'm getting at?
