Monsignor Pope Ping!
Hebrews 10:31, KJV: “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.”
“What Is the Wrath of God?”
Democrats?
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were thrown into a fiery furnace but were unharmed. They were aligned with God and were protected from the fiery wrath of the furnace.
Matthew 10:28
Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Instead, fear the One who can destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.
The IRS.

Donald Trump getting on Democrats
Become one with the Light of God and His Fire will not harm you.
Is this another Elijah Cummings thread?
It was a pretty big part of my southern baptist upbringing
I had a conversation visiting on the phone yesterday with my Hollywood friends group call yesterday oddly
They were raised Catholic back east
We were discussing the denial of God in Tinseltown
And how many show creators there are openly derisive of God
I talked about wrath and how it was simply not in me to impugne or ridicule God given my ingrained fear of the punishment for such
I think they understood but I also think they didn’t get the hellfire and brimstone I did either as a kid. I went down to the front in 1966 when a young James Robeson was doing guest revival at my church
It was a serious sermon on a Wednesday nite....my dad chuckled to my mom that the way Robeson was heating it up every kid in the sanctuary would be at the pulpit upon invitation if not before..lol
Robeson must have been in his 20s.....were both old now
Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God, Jonathan Edwards, 1739
Not a fan of Puritan culture but Edward's sermon is pretty famous all the same.
Please check the author’s name.
Once again Pope is in error. Wrath is something expressed as a result of what is in God, and which is God's love, which is not opposed to wrath but the result of it. The parent who attacks someone who attacks their defenseless child is moved by love to do so.
And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, took a javelin and joined the fornicating man of Israel and his Midianitish woman partner together in death was moved by faith in and love for God and holiness. (Numbers 25:7-8)
And which just execution of wrath, flowing from faith and love, turned away the wrath away of God from the children of Israel, which love for holiness required. (Numbers 25:11)
We must be washed clean in the Blood of the Lamb and purified.
And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. (1 Corinthians 6:11)
And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, (Revelation 1:5)
Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: (Ephesians 2:5-6)
Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; (Hebrews 10:19-20)
For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: (Philippians 1:23)
Most of us will need purification in Purgatory, too.
