Unless you view chastisement of children somehow to be wrath.

Effectively you are arguing that wrath is whatever you say it is, and if someone presents a Scripture text that undermines your argument, your strategy is to explain it away semantically.

So when Christ scourged the moneychangers in the Temple he did not do it out of anger?

Um…..No. I think the clear distinction made in scripture speaks for itself.

I suppose we are down to semantics now. God did say we are not destined to His wrath and I’ll just leave others to their interpretation of what that means for them.

“So when Christ scourged the moneychangers in the Temple he did not do it out of anger?”

Being the living Law he could be angry, punish them as he saw fit, but being of the order of Melchizidek he did not kill them though he had the right to...for “he scourges those he loves”. Get it?! He was angry, but he sinned not, and spared the lives of those he could have killed, showing them the mercy that only the priestly order of Melchizidek not Aaron would allow!
