Is it possible for God to get mad at us and want nothing to do with us? I always hear no, but I’m really starting to wonder.
The clue is when we read the gospels we see who Jesus got mad at. Because Jesus is God and is no different in attitude to the Father or the Holy Spirit, they would have the same attitude toward anyone.Is it possible for God to get mad at us and want nothing to do with us? I always hear no, but I’m really starting to wonder.
I don't know, but I get mad at God and want nothing to do with him sometimes.

Yes, but like a Parent; not a Judge.Does God get mad at us[?]
In any case, Hebrews 12:4-14 guarantees how God corrects us. This is not only punishment or measures to control us, but how God corrects us deeply by changing our character which has made us able to sin and displease God.Is it possible for God to get mad at us and want nothing to do with us?
Whatever the Bible says is for us with God, trust Him, how He alone is able to change us to do what He means by His word. Trust Him to be our Good Judge to know what to do with each of us.I always hear no, but I’m really starting to wonder.
He’s our Father. And He’s good. So He has compassion for us. Does He discipline? Of course. He a good Father. But it’s out of love, not anger.Is it possible for God to get mad at us and want nothing to do with us? I always hear no, but I’m really starting to wonder.
Yes, I feel as though that’s what’s happening with me right now. I was once so close to God, and I fell away for a time, and got myself into some sinful things. Now I cannot seem to get that close again. It doesn’t matter how hard I try.I would say yes, in my personal experience. But I’m speaking for myself here. I once was Holy Spirit led and nurtured daily, but through a series of sins I believe I must have grieved/quenched the Holy Spirit because I don’t ever have that anymore no matter what I do. But that’s just me...

I should have asked what you mean by "mad", when applying the concept to God, but I will work with what I think you are asking. I don't think God ever gets "mad" in the sense that he does with those that refuse to acknowledge him, with those whom he has forgiven of their sins. We belong to him as the others do not. It is not our performance that governs his thoughts concerning us.“US” meaning Christians. Sorry for not clarifying.
For what it is worth, for a few years now I have been trying to get Christians past the concept I think of as "this part is my job - that part is God's". It can get really disheartening when we see our failure and inability. It is really easy to give up. The sadness at the apparent "falling away" can make you doubt everything. But we are not the ones responsible for our success. God is. It is all of God, not us, though it consume us.Same here, been trying to get closer for something like eight years now I think.
