The blessings of our Father God come from obedience to his word. That was written by those led of his Holy Spirit and inspired to record his words.
The wrath was written by the same men, The Prophets of old. You can choose to believe or not the choice is yours.

I am not wanting to start fights just posting something for believers to think about.

Standing in the blessings line, in fact I have received many and in a variety of ways. This does not by any means excuse me from His chastiment and refinement when it is due, it does assure me that those times will be meriful and just.

I would like to think, based on what I know of the scriptures, I am in the blessing line (so to speak). I believe we are blessed through obedience and can get out of blessing through dis-obedience.
Pretty sure the wrath of God is in reserve for now, waiting on judgment day.
The Lord has provided blessing(on obedience) and curses(on sin) in His word. It just seems folks get it all twisted up.
Take care.

Blessing...as I have entered into the covenant of the New Testament with the one true God. I am assured of the salvation of my eternal soul thru His Son, Jesus.

Definitely the wrath. Bring it on. I'll get my friend Zeus to sort him out.

I hope I'm a sheep but that is not for me to decided, Many are called but few are chosen"
We are not saved by faith alone.
Is the below clear enough for you "fundie" I even used one of your hereitcel versions, foruntaely Luther didn't cut thsi out.
Who is the least of these in your eyes, the homless drunk you pass by everyday, the inmate who committed the most henious crime you can think of, or the one about to be executed, the Pope ... if you are going to follow Jesus first coount the cost ...
The Sheep and the Goats
31"When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory. 32All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
34"Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'
37"Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'
40"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'
41"Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.'
44"They also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?'
45"He will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.'
46"Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life."
