This is weird. You and I seem to think alike, after a brief perusal of your “Does God get Angry, or does He Love Us?” blog. I’ve got 2 young daughters too.

I would like to comment on your blog, that our perceptions of how God is have a lot to do with how we were brought up as children by our own fathers. People often see God much the same as they see their own father.

More than that though, I don’t believe there is any conflict between God’s love for us and His holiness. There may be a lot of misunderstanding about those two things though. Anyway, the fact that God is holy does not make Him angry with people, it simply creates an unbridgeable gap between Him and people as sinners, something which He is probably more sad about than anything. He doesn’t want any of us to perish (in Hell) because of our sins. So He sent Jesus to die for our sins, forgive us, and create a Way to get to the Father through the Son (thus bridging that gap). But that’s a very specific Way: People must accept Jesus as their Savior, more than merely believing in Him, and they must ask Him to forgive them of their sins, and they must make Him the Lord of their life. And that requires humility and submission and admitting that they’ve been wrong, and most people don’t like doing that. So it’s not that people can’t be holy and be recipients of God’s love (both); it’s simply that most people just don’t want to… do what God wants them to do to be able to do both, be holy as God is, and be a recipient of His love too. And they get angry about that.
