Ruben (the real one)
Ruben Israel wrote:

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.

The children of God are the ones who walk in the spirit.  Those who walk in the flesh are His enemy.   Romans, chapter eight, if you believe the Bible..
If not, never mind.
