I think it's so easy for us to apply whatever we read to current situations without getting the whole picture. <br />I think the other important thing, which you mention, is that God's anger is not like our anger. Because we're human we tend to think of and understand God's wrath and anger in the ways that we do wrath and anger (maybe like Hitler?), which is usually evil, not good. But God's anger is not our anger, like you said it's not evil, it's good. God's anger is bigger and more powerful than we can understand and I would even argue that God's anger is so much more than we can understand that it IS love. I think we have to keep leaving space for that mystery for God to keep filling.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04022304793380870001noreply@blogger.com
