"Yet there remains a question about whether God was an angry God at Golgotha whose wrath had to be appeased by the suffering of the innocent Jesus," Terry wrote. "Sometimes Christians carelessly make God out to be some kind of ogre whose angry wrath overflowed until the innocent Jesus suffered enough to calm Him down."

There are several things here that have biblically incorrect foundation. To make such a statement, one would have to deny the divinity of Jesus, as well as the Trinity. He's making a statement with the assumption that Jesus and God are wholly separate entities, with one imposing punishment on the other.

Yes, that occurred to me too. The concept of the Trinity is difficult for some to grasp, never the less, it's sound theology.
