Other perspectives on wrath

Answer 2

OT does include compassion and grace

Jesus brings a message of wrath to those but it is an eternal punishment..

The Bible talks about God in Metaphors.. in human form functions like a mouth or speaking, emotional and mental states, roles and family parents,

God is Angry captures three ideas -

 God perceives evil wrong doings
 God repulses evil
 God wants to execute justice

Humans get angry differently.. wrong reasons, overreacting, biased judgments, Often human expressions of anger are infected with sin…

God is slow to anger - hundreds of years before God brings punishment.

Gods angry is good - he fights for the oppressed… and against evil

Read closely - wrath, anger or grief.. is God grieving with us!
