Nope, because personality is what happens when you are fragmented from the whole and identify with your imprisoned spirit or ego. The source is beyond those things and it’s not bound in a temporal body like we think we are. And therefore it’s not amenable to anthropomorphisation.
Why did Jesus say he had other sheep to bring into this fold? You interpret that to mean gentiles but if you want to remain consistent with Jesus message throughout his mission then this is clearly a reference to the ‘lost sheep of the house of Israel’ which Jesus repeatedly stated that he only came for. And when he sent his apostles out to proselytise he instructed them clearly to stay away from the gentiles and go only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. That’s what he is referring to - those are the other sheep that he had to bring into his existing fold of followers (who were also Jewish) Unless you would have it that Jesus is a schizophrenic or liar who said one thing but meant the opposite?
Why he was building a house of prayer for all nations? Because this is the plan of conquest laid out throughout the entire Bible where the god of Israel wants to dominate the nations and destroy their gods and make them subservient to Israel. Check out the chapter in Isaiah dealing with Egypt’s blessing - just because it is called a ‘blessing’ in the Bible doesn’t make it any such thing.
In that chapter the god of Israel subverted Egypt, used the old divide and conquer tactic, sowed division, ruined agriculture, brought Egypt to its knees and then played the hero, making it swear fealty to the Israelite god. It’s subversive conquest plain and simple, and it’s called a ‘blessing’. It’s the same exact thing.
If the Jews sold you a turd by calling it a chocolate bar would it make it so? Would you eat it!
Well, Yaakov, if personality is the lesser state then you should abandon your personal account and stop pestering us with illogic.
I just rattled off a few Scriptures about God's plan for the nations (before and after Jews existed) and Jesus's work for them, there are many more. If the god of Israel wants to dominate the nations, what if he is the universal god and thus the best god of all the nations? Because if you think the real god or monad is the impersonal and nobody should have a personal god but should worship the impersonal as greater, then you're against Jesus as if he said something wrong. But people never can get around to hanging Jesus on his own words.
The real God is the one that is revealed in creation and that lets each person find out truth by a unique traversal of the one path of truth (and, when one comes across special revelation, testing that revelation by the nature of truth revealed in creation). If people don't accept the reality of what (or who) the real God is, people face natural consequences, because rejecting reality leads to negatives. Now, people might argue that, oh, that's an evil god using tactics against me, but if it's the true God then all their special pleading is for naught and all the negatives are what they deserve for their prior rejection of reality. So you wouldn't be able to tell apart the true God from a false god by saying the true God doesn't participate in allowing evils to happen to you; any devil can put bad things in your life and promise to relieve them when you worship him. So that's not how people discern that the Biblical God is the true God. Instead, they decide that based on (1) seeing the true God in creation or (2) seeing the true God defeating any other proposed god in a fair test. If the first doesn't work, you get the second, even if the other proposed god is yourself.
