Is God an angry God?

Answer 1

Why do you say that God is an angry God?

John 3:16 teaches us: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

John 3:16 means that God so loved all men. God saves His elect people in Christ Jesus, He saves the real organism of the human race. Many individual men go lost; but mankind is saved.

Answer 2

Expressions such as those found at Isaiah 34:2-7 have moved many to think that Jehovah, as described in the Hebrew Scriptures, is a cruel, wrathful God. Is that so?

No. While God does at times express his anger, such anger is always justified. It is always based on principle, not on uncontrolled emotion. Moreover, it is always dictated by the Creator’s right to receive exclusive devotion and his constancy in upholding truth. Divine anger is governed both by God’s love of righteousness and by his love for those practicing righteousness. Jehovah sees all the issues involved in a matter and has complete, unlimited knowledge of a situation. (Hebrews 4:13) He reads the heart; he notes the degree of ignorance, negligence, or willful sin; and he acts with impartiality.—Deuteronomy 10:17, 18; 1 Samuel 16:7; Acts 10:34, 35.

However, Jehovah God is “SLOW TO ANGER AND ABUNDANT IN LOVING-KINDNESS.” (Exodus 34:6) Those who fear him and strive to work righteousness receive mercy, for the Almighty recognizes man’s inherited imperfection and shows mercy to him on this account. Today God does this on the basis of Jesus’ sacrifice. (Psalm 103:13, 14) At the proper time, Jehovah’s anger is removed from those who acknowledge their sin, repent, and truly serve him. (Isaiah 12:1) Fundamentally, Jehovah is not an angry God but a happy God, not unapproachable but welcoming, peaceable, and calm toward those who properly approach him. (1 Timothy 1:11) This is in sharp contrast to the merciless, cruel characteristics ascribed to the false gods of the pagans and portrayed in images of those gods.

Answer 5

Read up on His Word, is my suggestion. Yes, He has shown anger, but in the same regard He has been just ~ and ~ He did give us the rainbow as a promise He would never do anything drastic again, no matter how bad we,as the human race, might get. Prayers =)

Psalms, psalm 7 verse 11
