I think you missed the whole point of that quote.

For the last 2,000 years He has not been upset with anyone of mankind since His Son's sacrifice. He has been at peace with humanity and has not been reckoning their offenses to them but entreats them to be at peace with Him because He is at peace with the world.

2Co 5:19-20 how that God was in Christ, conciliating the world to Himself,
not reckoning their offenses to them, and placing in us the word of the
conciliation." (20) For Christ, then, are we ambassadors, as of God
entreating through us. We are beseeching for Christ's sake, "Be conciliated
to God!"

In the Old Testament God showed anger to reveal to the humans that they were doing wrong according to the covenant they made with Him. Of course He was not always angry with them. He was slow to anger, long suffering and merciful. He knew they would fail at keeping the law. But the lesson to be learned is that Israel had to learn they were incapable of keeping the law.

i disagree they do need someone to say it bek unlike moses, we are deaf dumb and blind to the messages God sends to us daily.

If some one is more in tune than I regarding the messages and effects of God..I will gladly listen..You know and I know that liars in this regard abound these days...Yes most people are deaf..and blind to reality - truth...God...and the problem I see these days is contained in this line "I will send them a strong dellusion".....Most embrace fantasy...human imagination gone wild...to receive inspiration from God takes great courage and fearlessness...

AS for reality (truth) - they will rip you apart if you state it..It takes a brave soul to turn his back on mankinds faulty systems and listen to GOD...it is dangerous and allienating....so...it becomes very private. To listen to God is true salvation but also a very rough ride on earth...most hate- God....and as I have often said...stupidity and evil are the same thing...as we look a about most of the most powerful and influential leaders on earth are just plain dumb and deaf to God...it can be stressful dealing with evil on a daily basis..

Behaves just like a child, throwing tantrums and fits of rage, and people still see this story book character as something to look up to?

If you're going to pick something to worship, make sure it is worthy first, for the god of the bible clearly isn't, but is the most mentally deranged mass murderer.

Charles Manson has his followers, gods do also, neither or worthy
