What is your Opinion ~

What is your opinion ~
Something funny, well maybe not, happened this morning on a personal posting. On one of my writings from the Urantia Book, the one saying that God was a loving God and not a wrathful God. Someone on my Posting wrote how little I know because I'd probably not read Revelations which to them shows how God is a Wrathful God.It's hard for me to understand how anyone could envision a God that was Wrathful or hateful, or angry, or needing revenge... what a scary universe that would be! People don't want their fear fooled with... I guess some like it. Even when I was a kid, and knew nothing.. I never would have envisioned God as mean or something to fear.
Just strange to me to be full of fear of God!!! A simple look up on one beautiful starry night will tell you that God has more on his mind then being vengeful and needing some sort of sacrifice to give us his love -- or wrathful and to be feared. Look at all that glory he's created and tell me he's not totally loving and supportive. In the end, God is active Love. No wrath or anger in real Love. Do you feel that hate or wrath in your love? I'd say not... just guessing :-)
2:6.6 41.4) The affectionate heavenly Father, whose spirit indwells his children on earth, is not a divided personality — one of justice and one of mercy — neither does it require a mediator to secure the Father’s favor or forgiveness. Divine righteousness is not dominated by strict retributive justice; God as a father transcends God as a judge.
2:6.7 (41.5) God is never wrathful, vengeful, or angry. It is true that wisdom does often restrain his love, while justice conditions his rejected mercy. His love of righteousness cannot help being exhibited as equal hatred for sin. The Father is not an inconsistent personality; the divine unity is perfect. In the Paradise Trinity there is absolute unity despite the eternal identities of the co-ordinates of God.
