Is God an Impersonal or Personal Being?

Millions of people across the world have a faith, some a Christian faith. A faith in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. A Father who let his only son, Jesus Christ, die on a crucifix so that the people of the world would be free from sin. But is the father, God, an impersonal or personal being? I will be exploring different parts to this question in my essay.

I believe god is personal. But I do not believe he is a personal being. I believe this because for me, a 'being' is something physical, something everyone can see. Whereas God is a belief and you cannot see or touch him. I believe he is personal though because people can pray to God and there are stories of these people miraculously being healed for example, or having their prayers answered in other ways.

Some people think that God cannot be personal because he has to care for everyone at the same time ie. Answering prayers. People think this though because they think that this is impossible for humans like themselves to do such a thing. They forget that God is not human, and if he exists, is more powerful than anything anyone can possibly imagine. Like I have already said, he is also a belief and not some huge telephone answering machine way up in the sky!

The Holy Spirit is God working inside us, doing the work of transformation. ...
