How can God be “angry” (as it says in the bible)? Anger is a human emotion and I’m having trouble imagining an omnipotent being expressing it. Also I hear some people say that God “wants” us to love Him and be with Him. Wanting something implies incompleteness.
How do I make sense of this?
Please consider the following concept:
In order to understand God’s anger, one must have a developed understanding of the Holy Spirit.
Please consider the following: The Spirit of God can be defined as always being and spreading the means to freely be perfectly patient, kind, and motivated with all the body, and with all the spirit, and with all the thoughts, and with all the will equally towards others and the self for the unbreakable peace and limitless happiness of every relationship and individual of a society.
Since God made use of the terms Spirit, Father, Son, and holy spirit, there must be a distinction between Spirit and holy spirit.
Given that ALL humans are naturally out of complete oneness with the Spirit of God: after a life of dedication to perfection, one can become wholly one with the Spirit of God or in more graceful terms, the Holy Spirit of God. Since the Spirit of God is God, then being one with the Spirit of God must make the person a “son”/daughter of God. Since the Son of God is God, then being a “son”/daughter of God must make the person a god.
Since we are ignorant, in the process of growing in oneness, though we may desire peace and happiness for everyone, we will act with impatience and meanness in efforts to obtain the desire sooner than later.
Therefore the Bible describes the events of ignorant humans who grow in oneness with the Spirit of God. To recognize this, perhaps consider: Have you ever been curious about a temptation to the point of going against your authority’s orders? This is Adam and Eve. Have you ever completely ignored someone because they have hurt you? The act of ignoring can be interpreted as making them not matter. When one does not matter, essentially, s/he does not exist. If one goes from existing to not-existing, this is equivalent to dying/killing. Therefore, ignoring someone can be paralleled to some of the stories of killing in the Bible. When a parent feels the pressure to raise a mannerful child and has not the time to develop more patient and kind techniques, s/he will use some forms of corporal punishment. This can be paralleled to ruling with an iron rod. There are too many alignments to state in a reply. I hope you will be able to perceive other alignments in your life and the History of Mankind.
Regarding wanting something means incompleteness:
You are correct in that wanting something reveals incompleteness, therefore there must be a perspective which validates that there is never a time as to which God is incomplete. Referring back to the concept of ignoring someone being paralleled to making them not matter/not existing. When God was working on fulfilling His want, time did not matter to Him, therefore time did not exist. By the time, time mattered (humans making it matter), God already knows His desire will be fulfilled, therefore He essentially no longer wants, and is complete throughout all time.
Thank you very much for the excellent food for thought, my friend! I look forward to further discussion.
Thoughts?
