I have this question:
Did God ever get mad in the bible? I mean, did the bible say that God ever get mad for some reason? If he did, can you tell me where I can find where I can look it up in the bible? A link would be even better so I don't have to look in the bible.

Not only has the Judeo/Christian God been "mad" for some reason He has given a reason. In the ten commandments He admits He is a "jealous God."

There are many places in the Bible were God got mad . God is Holy and when ever his Holiness or authority is violated his punishment was meted on the violaters. here are a few scriptures Acts 5:3-11, Numbers 11:1, Num. 16. these are just a few verses, there are plenty more. Read the word of God for yourself and you will have better understanding.

The Lord was grieved during the time of Noah, but I think the first time the Bible mentions God's wrath is in Exodus 32:10 "Now therefore, let Me alone, that My wrath may burn hot against them and I may consume them. . . ." This is when the Israelites made the Golden Calf to worship while Moses was receiving the 10 Commandments from God.
God's anger may be implied many times throughout the Old Testament, but in fact, he was judging His people accordingly for rejecting Him or disobeying.

I was just reading in Numbers a little bit ago about when God got mad at the Israelites for complaining . Numbers chapter 11. There are many other places too.

Not only did He get angry, but He destroyed cities. Our God (The God of Christians) is a jealous God and will not stand for disobedience. Genesis 6, God destoryed the whole world, and the time is getting close that He will do it again, except this time will be the last time

John 3:36
He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
The mentions of God's wrath in the Bible are too voluminous to add in this little space.

um, yes, actually it happens quite a bit in the old testament
for example when he gets mad at the hebrews for worshipping a golden calf, and almost kills them except that moses stopped that from happening.
i think thats basically how the bible said it went
.........
yep, just checked and that is what happened

"Then I heard the LORD say to the other men, "Follow him through the city and kill everyone whose forehead is not marked. Show no mercy; have no pity! Kill them all – old and young, girls and women and little children. But do not touch anyone with the mark. Begin your task right here at the Temple." So they began by killing the seventy leaders. "Defile the Temple!" the LORD commanded. "Fill its courtyards with the bodies of those you kill! Go!" So they went throughout the city and did as they were told." (Ezekiel 9:5-7 NLT)
Deut 21:18-21. It says:
If someone has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey his father and mother, who does not heed them when they discipline him, then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his town at the gate of that place. They shall say to the elders of his town, ‘This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us. He is a glutton and a drunkard.’ Then all the men of the town shall stone him to death. So you shall purge the evil from your midst; and all Israel will hear, and be afraid.
Stand in silence in the presence of the Sovereign LORD, for the awesome day of the LORD's judgment has come. The LORD has prepared his people for a great slaughter and has chosen their executioners. "On that day of judgment," says the LORD, "I will punish the leaders and princes of Judah and all those following pagan customs. Yes, I will punish those who participate in pagan worship ceremonies, and those who steal and kill to fill their masters' homes with loot. "On that day," says the LORD, "a cry of alarm will come from the Fish Gate and echo throughout the newer Mishneh section of the city. And a great crashing sound will come from the surrounding hills. Wail in sorrow, all you who live in the market area, for all who buy and sell there will die. "I will search with lanterns in Jerusalem's darkest corners to find and punish those who sit contented in their sins, indifferent to the LORD, thinking he will do nothing at all to them. They are the very ones whose property will be plundered by the enemy, whose homes will be ransacked. They will never have a chance to live in the new homes they have built. They will never drink wine from the vineyards they have planted. "That terrible day of the LORD is near. Swiftly it comes – a day when strong men will cry bitterly. It is a day when the LORD's anger will be poured out. It is a day of terrible distress and anguish, a day of ruin and desolation, a day of darkness and gloom, of clouds, blackness, trumpet calls, and battle cries. Down go the walled cities and strongest battlements! "Because you have sinned against the LORD, I will make you as helpless as a blind man searching for a path. Your blood will be poured out into the dust, and your bodies will lie there rotting on the ground." Your silver and gold will be of no use to you on that day of the LORD's anger. For the whole land will be devoured by the fire of his jealousy. He will make a terrifying end of all the people on earth. (Zephaniah 1:7:18 NLT)
"I have wiped out many nations, devastating their fortress walls and towers. Their cities are now deserted; their streets are in silent ruin. There are no survivors to even tell what happened. I thought, 'Surely they will have reverence for me now! Surely they will listen to my warnings, so I won't need to strike again.' But no; however much I punish them, they continue their evil practices from dawn till dusk and dusk till dawn." So now the LORD says: "Be patient; the time is coming soon when I will stand up and accuse these evil nations. For it is my decision to gather together the kingdoms of the earth and pour out my fiercest anger and fury on them. All the earth will be devoured by the fire of my jealousy. "On that day I will purify the lips of all people, so that everyone will be able to worship the LORD together. My scattered people who live beyond the rivers of Ethiopia will come to present their offerings. (Zephaniah 3:6-10 NLT)
