Christians, does God ever get angry?

Question

He shouldn't, since he knows everything that's going to happen and can always handle it in a jiffy, am I right?

No matter if he allows free will or not, he would still know exactly what would happen, as he's not limited to time, right? So he technically can't be surprised or shocked at what people do.

I see, so anger is not with events, but with beings. Is this what you're saying?

Answer 1

The Bible says God is angry with the wicked every day.
The only thing that is holding millions back from His fierce wrath may be the prayer of a godly grandmother or the intercession of a faithful aunt.
How do you think He can look upon what's going on in the earth and restrain His wrath much longer?

Answer 2

Yeah, God has emotions too. I was actually reading about that today. Judges 2:20 says: "Then the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel..
He knows what is going to happen, but he doesnt control what everybody does, so he can get angry... but dont forget, He is a God of love! 1 John 4:16 God Bless!

Answer 3

Yes, he does get angry, even though he knew Adam & EVe would fall from grace, he still made them, loved them, then cursed them by giving Adam the land to WORK, which God had always provided the best land, food, etc. w/o Adam having to care for the plants, harvesting, etc."Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat of it. It will produce thorns and thistles for you & you will eat the plants of the field. By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground. Genesis 2;17-19 By sending them out of the Garden of Eden, he showed them his displeasure/anger. He also cursed Eve with pain during childbirth, which is the first time pain was ever mentioned. All for them listening to the serpent [Satan] & eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it, you will surely die." Genesis 2:17. Apparently snakes at this time didn 't slither around on the ground such as they do now. For that was Satan's curse,God told the serpent, because you have done this[talked the woman-deceived her- into giving Adam into eating some of the fruit from the tree] "Cursed are you above all the liestock and all the wild animals! You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life. Genesis 2:13,-15, besides his being thrown out of Heaven, which of course is the worst thing that could possibly happen! Cursed to never be with God again! He did not let Moses go into the promised land because of his sin, which shows anger there too. He "smote" many in Biblical days for minor infractions, sins. Thankfully, he does not seem to take such immediate reactions to us sinners of today. Or maybe he does, we are just not wise enough to know.

Do parents get mad at their children? Of course they do. He is our heavenly Father and He gets angry at our disobedience that causes us so much harm. He gets angry but still forgives. Like Jerry Lewis once said, "You always love your family, but, sometimes you don't like them". God loves the sinners and hates the sin. Do you remember Jesus became angry when the money handlers were selling things in the court of the Temple. He was so angry at the disrespect they were showing that He dumped over the tables and chased all the people and animals out. God was so upset with man at one point that He even said that He repented that He made man in the first place. It is His love and the faithfulness of a few that keep things going. I personally believe that Jesus came as a human to understand the human experience. That is why in the old testament people were just wiped out immediately for disobedience. After Jesus came forgiveness and love was all important. Just my idea since I believe God is the great scientist and uses natural means for miracles. Mmm

Answer 5

No doubt God can handle everything "in a jiffy" as you say, but the most important aspect of biblical revelation to us (man) is that he gave us "free will". In other words he has decided NOT to fix everything but to let us have our say in creation. As man is far from perfect and we often do evil, it would follow that God does indeed get angry with man. Have you ever heard of the "wrath of god".

Answer 6

Uh yeah.

Remember 9-11

Remember the Holocaust

Remember the Crusades

Remember the Flood

Answer 7

well ur not right God has got mad i have read about it in the bible but he doesnt hold a grudge like the flood he flooded the earth cuz he was mad cuz they were all doing wrong and bad but he wont get angry enough to kill u cuz God is a loving God even when he is angry for wat u did if u did a sin he still loves u and still cares for u no matter wat even if ur a christian or not he still loves u but he wants u to follow him why? because he loves u. u can do the worst thing ever but if u just Say God please forgive me for what i have done i know that wasnt right cuz how can u have a relationship with God if u dont repent and if u dont ask him to come into ur heart if ur not a christian and u want to be all u have to do is say God i love u please forgive me for my sins i want u to come into my heart and live in me put joy in me and so i can go to heaven and not hell because those are real places if u believe in God and he lives in ur heart u will go to heaven but if not then u will go to hell in the bible God says that hell is sooooo bad not even he can explain it and God can do everything that shows how bad it is i strongly encourage u to make the right decision cuz Jesus loves u soooooo very much thats why he died on the cross for u 2,000 years ago willingly then rose again 3 days later!!!! u know wat the right decision is so ask him to come into ur heart and to forgive u of all sins!!

Answer 8

but how about human's free will?i believe there's a paradox here: human beings are gifted with free will, though god already knows the course of events? hmm, though one...
let's don't forget that for many of us, our faith has become symbolic as a need to believe in sth constructive and not go astray. the need to have faith is part of human psychology

Answer 9

The Word of God says that we can be angry, but sin not. May God Bless U.

Answer 10

God is angry with the wicked every day. He is mercifully pouring out a little judgment here and a little there, but he will deal with all wickedness completely very soon.
