That is one of the hardest things to teach many Christians, that God's Anger is in Love .
All those moments of Gods movements in the Old Testiment . Lots wife , The judgement of Moses for striking the rock 2 x's . Everything is done through Gods Love .
Agree, this is difficult for some. If I have a young child, innocent and defenseless... and someone harms him, physically abuses him, and I know about it.
I have the power to stop it, but I don't. Do I really love that child?
If someone comes up and physically abuses my wife, and I have the power to stop it... I am bigger and stronger, maybe I even have a club or gun.
But I don't stop it, do I really love her?
Sometimes loving someone involves harming someone else. Even if we love that someone else. Even if the person attacking my wife and kids was a friend or relative (brother)
that I loved... I would still have to do something to stop them. Otherwise I'm not really loving my wife, my child... even the one harming them.
God loves His children.
