I've been thinking about your response for a couple of days now. You are absolutely right, God does have wrath. However, he is also precise. I don't believe God would have haphazardly destroyed thousands of innocent people. When he "wiped out LIFE with a flood", he also saved the only family that wasn't corrupt. When He sent his angels to destroy Sodom and Gomorah (sp?), He also spared the lives of Lot and his family for the same reason.
I don't know. I'm not a Bible scholar. We all have, and are entitled to, our own beliefs. This is just my own opion.

Soror, point well taken.
I remeber growing up whenever something tragic happened to "good" or "innocent" people, I would hear grown-ups "justify" it by saying God only takes his own, or that God is trying to get someone else's attention. However, I can't say that all those people had a personal relationship with Him.
So, I honestly don't know what to think.
I do agree with what Ideal said earlier. Sometimes we need a wake up call. How many times have y'all experienced an overflowing church during Christmas time and on Easter Sunday? Some folks act like church is only twice a year!
You don't see them at any other time of the year, but they show up on holidays. Ok... I'm getting off the subject. The point I'm trying to make is as a nation we need to remember to put God first in our lives. Now, how long will it last?
