I think everyone who believes in God at some point comes to his/her own self consideration and/or understanding about Him and what might be described as their own personal Side-View of What God thinks, wants and expects from us. I ran this gamete at an early stage in my own young life, that caused me some considerable consternation given the clash between Biblical and Catholic man-made rule violations in the Catholic school I attended as a juvenile.
In the new testament, Jesus sacrificed Himself for us but first left God's personal instructions with the apostles and instructed them through the Holy Spirit to write them down as a heavenly path to Him.
In the old testament a seemingly vengeful God himself, took many human earthly lives. The Great Flood. Sodom & Gomorrah. Pharos's Army at the Red Sea crossing. All of those lives taken were evil people intent on power, slavery, human butchery, human sloth and sexual deviations. Ultimately ridding God and any remnants of his holy plan and name from the human equation that He Himself created.
In every instance before his vengeance, he gave these evil people both signs and a way out. They refused, mocked and ultimately ignored every one. They then paid the price, were killed and I assume cast into hell. We've been to long without a God reinforcing miracle. God has never had to prove to me his existence. I cannot see the millions of earthly miracles around me daily and accept that they "JUST HAPPENED" by chance.
Here's just 3 of the 21 Bible versus describing Gods own anger with his children and his intentions to put those indiscretions right.
Psalm 37:38
Verse Concepts
But transgressors will be altogether destroyed;
The posterity of the wicked will be cut off.
Proverbs 14:11
Verse Concepts
The house of the wicked will be destroyed,
But the tent of the upright will flourish.
Psalm 94:23
Verse Concepts
He has brought back their wickedness upon them
And will destroy them in their evil;
The Lord our God will destroy them.
If we ever needed God to put his Devine thumb down on an earthly scale, now's the time.
