Answering a question with a question - is that a sidestep to avoid answering?
How does your understanding match up with Jesus' invitation:
"Come to me ... for I am gentle and humble at heart ... you will find rest for your souls" ? Matt 11: 28
Hardly wrathful.
Something happened at the Cross. Something rather significant. The debt was paid. In full. The wikipedia page on propitiation puts it like this:
The thought in the Old Testament sacrifices and in the New Testament fulfillment, is that Christ completely satisfied the just demands of our Holy Father for judgement on sin, by his death on the Cross of Calvary.
Propitiation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
That page also quotes a remarkable verse talking about the scope of what was accomplished on the cross:
And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. - 1 John 2: 2
These are some of the reasons why I claim that God does not have wrath towards people anymore, and why modern day hymn-writers of the stature of Getty and Townend can write "The wrath of God is satisfied" and have it become the most downloaded song at the on-line worship song resource songselect.com and is used and accepted in churches round the world.
