The biblical idea that God is our Father is a New Covenant consideration.    Whatever old testament scripture one can quote concerning God,  it must now be seen as a statement concerning the Father.  It is the wrath of a father that is encountered in the new covenant age.   In Christ, this father shed His blood for us  --    while we were still sinners  (and sinning).   He does not leave that emotion behind when His emotion is one of anger or disappointment   --------   no more than a father stops loving his children when they miss up their lives.    In fact,   some fathers love their children more in that circumstance.  Grace and mercy are all the more present.   

 

 

You read ALL this from that one verse, why not just take read for what it says? 

I guess that is your way of saying, yes God is angry (as the verse clearly shows) everyday of every week of every year or as the question was asked?  Is this not 24/7 as the question?   If all we do is push God loves you than we misrepresent God,  We make God look schizophrenic.  I love now but I will destroy you in fire for eternity then?  It has been my experience that this thinking makes people become pagans, atheists or even wink at other gods.
