>>Effectively you are arguing that wrath is whatever you say it is<<

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

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

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.

Not really. I take wrath to mean "anger" (orghs, the Greek, meaning: "anger.").

You seem to be saying that if someone is not eternally destined to God's anger, that nothing bad will ever happen to them and that they will be whisked away before all the unpleasantness.

The path that leads to eternal Life rather than eternal Anger is going to have its chastisements and its scourgings along the way.

That's not because God chastises and scourges his sons out of pleasure and joy.

Where does it say that in the scripture?
