In the past day or so i have posted many questions about Faith and about Gods purpose in general and many of you have answered(Thank you). By asking these questions and provoking your feeling i have(Presumably) made you stronger in your Faith because you were forced to stand up and protect your beliefs making you stronger in your commitment to God. My question is this...Am i doing Gods work by doing this or am i just proking Gods wraith onto myself? What do you think?

In Islam, we have this thing that we called Legal Maxim, which mean, general rules which applied to all it's particulars.
one of the legal maxims stated that :
"Matters are determined according to intentions"
that means as long as your intentions are good that means you're doing a good deed, and vice versa...
hopefully this will answer your question
Peace

That is not considered your Gods wraith. And why Gods wraith to you, do you mean to say that you are now nearing death? Because wraith means apparation for somebody who is nearing to die. No, do not think of that.
What I believe is that you are little by little enlighten of the truth ab out God and on the words of truth in the Bible, however you are forcing your self not to believe on our faith.
Grab the oppurtunity while their is chance. Read the bible and ask the help of God to let you understand its contents. In reading the bible, go to the New Testament first because those are the teachings of Jesus and how he was punished to death by nonbelievers of him but repented.
On the Old Testament it is the story of people of Israel who have done so many things that are against God but still God give them chance to repent, yet they did what they want to do so that God got angry with them and destroyed Israel, Gomorah and Jerusalem and other countries there.

God can use all things to His Glory, even using unbelievers. Your questions may bring answers that will lead others to find truth, even if you arent really seeking the truth.... your aim may not be helping God but He can turn all things for good... God's wrath is between you and God.... only He knows the true motive of your heart and your actions

You're manipulating people and that is not good Karma. If you cause others suffering just to make them defend their faith and make it stronger then you are doing the wrong thing. They feel angry and anger is not good for anyone. I think you should apologize for doing this to people. I'm sorry to say this but that was a very misguided strategy. In Buddhism, anything that causes a negative reaction in someone else is wrong. Please be a better community member in the future. Why would you want to upset people intentionally?

Well I am learning more about my lack of belief- maybe I'll be the best of the worst again who knows. I just answer honestly and nothing that anyone says is going to make me change any little bit of my beliefs (or lack thereof) I'm pretty set in my ways

Romans 10:17 " Faith commeth by hearing, hearing by the word of God ". God and I don't want to see you suffer in and for your sins .Read his words and come to know the salvation through Jesus Christ . Isaiah 55:6 " Seek the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near ".

Wrath, surely.
Isn't a wraith a spirit, and by the tenets of your faith, a demon?
Unless, of course, your discourse has angered your God so that He has sent a demon.
Hmmm. This will require thought.
Okay, tools down.
Thinking time over.
Release the flying monkeys.

No matter what you do, God will use it to work for the benefit of those who love God.
The question of whether you will get favor or wrath completely depends on YOUR heart toward God, nothing else.

God often uses the Devil to do his will (through reverse psychology, according to the book of Job), so I would say both. It all depends on your motives.
---edit---
This is odd; I said exactly the same thing as "peacetimewarror" below, but she gets a thumbs up and I get a thumbs down. Hum....

If you were asking to understand, God wants us to understand if you were asking to provoke I would be thinking along the wrath lines
