If you love then you have to also hate; for example, if you love children then you have to hate child abuse, and wrath against a child abuser is the natural result of the hatred of the abuse, because you love children. <BR/><BR/>In the same way God is holy and as a result of his holiness He hates sin and the natural result of that hatred is wrath toward it. The gospel is simply this: Jesus Christ, who is God in human form, came to earth and died on the cross taking upon Himself the wrath that our sin deserved. Three days later He rose from the dead to prove that what He said was true. Now we have a choice: we can either place our trust and faith in the sacrifice that He made on our behalf, or we can reject it and take the wrath our sin deserves upon ourselves, and the place that happens is in hell.Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15876864956557805231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8062998037300248945.post-53905564911188915102009-02-01T13:53:00.000-05:002009-02-01T13:53:00.000-05:00How can "God" be wrathful?

If God is supposedly all powerful, all knowing and present at all times, then there would be nothing that could frighten him, cause him to be anxious or feel out of control.<BR/><BR/>In reality, Christianity contradicts itself. If "God" can indeed be wrathful (angry), then he ain't perfect. If he's perfect, then there is nothing that could evoke anger.The Rambling Taoisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04730292897416827840noreply@blogger.com
