God of Anger

I just had an epiphany!

/////\\\\\/////\\\\\/////\\\\\/////\\\\\/////\\\\\/////\\\\\/////\\

I was thinking about how God is portrayed as both a wrath filled God of the Old Testament and a loving God of the New Testament..

A friend of mine was constantly talking to me about his questioning of the Bible because it was written by human hands and therefore it was corruptible. 

I'm not a philosophy or a theology genius but what if that is the key!

.:. Think about it.. it happens even today! History will be written by the victor. What if the Muslim Jihad succeeded? Wouldn't they say and write that God had asked them to attack us and ordained their victory and blood shed?? What if the writers of the old testament assumed their victory was because God took a side? Or maybe they acted in the name of God and took his name in vain. 

Exodus 20:7 //  You shall not make wrongful use of the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not acquit anyone who misuses his name. 

THAT is the 6th commandment!! Do not take the Lord's name in vain and don't claim his endorsement on violence. Don't say you are a Christian or take actions that represent God falsely. Don't take his name in vain!

God is love and love takes no sides. Think about the specific instances when God gave his people a plan of victory.. Like Joshua and the victory at Jericho!! That was God conspired and non-violent. Maybe we have to see the scripture in the context of the time and circumstance to properly interpret it and not lose the deeper meaning ... more thoughts as they come .:.
