I just loved this so much! God's wrath is perfect. I'm terrified and amazed by Him.

Wow thanks doc...so is it right to say that we should not have a negative perspective on the subject "God's wrath" but see it as positive way of learning. To fully uphold and understand the true essence of what love is, and also learning how to seek the way back to God.

[KeithThompson]

God's wrath matters because if you do not put your faith in Christ you will experience it in hell for eternity. We are not saved from our sin, we are saved from the wrath of all mighty God.

I don't understand why he would have to hurt people, I think it's so sad, please pray for the people who aren't in the safe place, I don't want anyone to get hurt that would be devastating

Really loved this. Really with he would have said the word “wrath” instead of having said “roth” however. Nothing else was said as a Brit, but this word, the root word for the whole podcast was different. Not a problem, just bugged me!

The first 4 people on earth
Adam, Eve, Cain, Abel,

Cain and Abel are the sons of Adam And Eve but in Genesis 4:8 Cain kills Abel

Now at this point in time there is only two other people on the planet Adam and Eve

(Then your god says)

Genesis 4:15 But the Lord said to him, “Not so anyone who kills Cain will suffer vengeance seven times over.”
Then the Lord put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him.

Remember at this point in time there is only two other people on the planet Adam and Eve

Genesis 4:16 So Cain went out from the Lord’s presence and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden.

Question who else lived in the land of Nod answer
Cains wife
Who is the mother of Cain's wife?
What is Cain's wifes name?

Genesis 4:17 Cain made love to his wife, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch

Now there are three men and two women on earth but only the mysterious wife of Cain will populate the earth because there is no further mention in the bible of any additional children from Eve.

I bet you never notice that before
