Why Does God Get Angry? In the Bible God gets angry at human violence. He gets angry at powerful leaders who oppress other humans. And the thing that makes God more angry than anything else in the Bible is Israel's constant covenant betrayal.
Proverbs 6:16-19, NIV There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.
In the Bible, there are verses in which God is described as being angry. “So, the Lord was very angry with Israel and removed them from his presence” (2 Kings 17:18). God was angry with Israel because they had sinned against him, participated in idolatry, and chose their sinful desires over His ways.
Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord. On the contrary: 'If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
Anger itself is not a sin, but the strong emotion, unrestrained, can lead very quickly to sin. As God said to Cain, “It's desire is for you, but you must rule over it” (Genesis 4:7).
Although often sourced in his foreknowledge, the way Jesus handles his anger provides a model for Christians today. he knows how to be indignant, irate, and even furious, but without the slightest trace of derision, contempt, or abuse.
It's been posited that God speaks to us through circumstances: blocked pathways, dreams, feelings, inspirations, music, nature, symbols, tender mercies, thoughts and visions. Some say he communicates through the community of believers, prayer, scriptures, sermons, wise counsel and His very creation.
"The Lord laughs at him, For He sees that his day is coming." The wicked come against the righteous, the poor, and needy as if they were to live forever. God laughs, he sees their coming destruction and says, "A little that a righteous man has is Better than the riches of many wicked."
God is unchangeable. God is sinless. If God is unchanging, He is not going to decide on a whim to get mad at us because of that mistake we made. Nor is He going to go back on His promise that Jesus covered all our sins on the cross.
One eternal or unforgivable sin (blasphemy against the Holy Spirit), also known as the sin unto death, is specified in several passages of the Synoptic Gospels, including Mark 3:28–29, Matthew 12:31–32, and Luke 12:10, as well as other New Testament passages including Hebrews 6:4–6, Hebrews 10:26–31, and 1 John 5:16.
In Mark 3:29 Jesus says that “whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; they are guilty of an eternal sin.” Matthew's account adds that even blasphemy against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but not blasphemy against the Holy Spirit (Matthew 12:31–32).
God smiles when we love him supremely. God smiles when we trust him completely. God smiles when we obey him wholeheartedly. God smiles when we praise and thank him continually.
God's laughter reminds his enemies that, while he may be treating them with great patience now, soon enough his wrath will be quickly kindled (Psalm 2:12) and it will be terrible to oppose him. And his laughter reminds his sons of their happiness. “Blessed are all who take refuge in him” (Psalm 2:12).
In John 9:31, the Bible says, “Now we know that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does His will, He hears him.” Many have latched onto this statement as though it was an absolute truth – i.e., that God will NEVER hear a sinner's prayer.
The Bible more often portrays God's voice as sounding ordinary and meek than as booming and thunderous.
Some, like those in the Gospel of John (One example — Jesus changing the water into wine at the wedding at Cana), are more often thought of as miracles, although the gospel writer used the term “signs.” What they all have in common is that they were unexpected or extraordinary events that made someone stop and take ...
Luke's gospel also records that Jesus wept as he entered Jerusalem before his trial and death, anticipating the destruction of the Temple.
1 Jonah was furious. He lost his temper. 2 He yelled at God, "God! I knew it - when I was back home, I knew this was going to happen!
What makes Jesus happy? The unity of all people under his headship. Paul says that the ultimate will, pleasure, and purpose of God is “to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ” (Ephesians 1:10).
Depression is associated with sin because people experiencing depression are seen to lack some of the spiritual fruits that are regarded as evidence of genuine Christian faith: When dealing with people in the church... some see mental illness as a weakness —a sign you don't have enough faith.
Unlike righteous anger, the capital sin of anger is understood as the deep drive to cling to hateful feelings for others. This kind of anger often seeks revenge. The consideration of anger as an experience, passion, or feeling requires some distinctions, however.
Sloth is a sin against God's love in that it goes so far as to refuse the joy that comes from God and to be repelled by divine goodness. It is a loss of hope in ever achieving what God wants for us: our eternal happiness.
Moses Spoke to God Face to Face
In this context, Moses asked to see God's glory. In essence, God responded, “Alright, but not My face revealed in full glory of My goodness. If that were to happen, you would be so radically changed on every level that no one could relate to you anymore.
