"In today's postmodern world, the truth of God's wrath has become
ridiculed as an outdated caricature of deity, or worse, denied
altogether as a medieval myth. Even many Christians today seem to
apologize for divine vengeance as if it is a blemish in God's character,
or some irrelevant doctrine of Christianity. But the truth is, the
Bible clearly presents the wrath of God as a necessary attribute of His
holiness. Any true knowledge of God must be grounded in a clear
understanding of His
sin-hating wrath. To withhold teaching on God's fury toward sin, is, in
reality, idolatry - it is worshipping a god of one's own making. The
holiness of God requires that He be full of righteous anger and fiery
vengeance against sin." (Holman Old Testament Commentary) "Divine wrath
has become taboo in modern society, and Christians, by and large have
accepted the taboo and conditioned themselves never to raise the
matter." (J.I. Packer) Have you accepted the taboo?
