#2 Is God angry? Why is He angry or why is He not angry with the human race?
Let me start by defining anger: Anger is a God given emotion that gives us energy to protect someone else or ourselves, or to take action against an injustice, Anger itself is not wrong.
I do not believe God is angery, or angry with the human race. My God is a God of all power and self control. He is the maker of all things and creator of the ultimate plan and purpose for our lives. He is slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness. He is meriful and gracious. He knows all and gives great understanding to those who seek Him. We are a flawd tool in His hand, and He chose to reach the world with us. Unlike His Son, Jesus, we are sinful in nature. God pored His redemptive wrath out upon Jesus as he suffered and died on the cross to save us from our sins. We are giving grace to walk with Jesus, covered in His blood, saved from our sin and ultimate death and eternal disconnect with God.
So we see through God's actions , time and time again in the Bible, His love is greater than evil. There is no quick action in anger that God uses to crush evil. He warns the nations and tells of His plan for them, when we chose to ignore God's plan, nothing ever good comes out of it. He is a God of love and will see His plan for His people through to the end.
