...First of all Alexander, thanks for your comment.<br /><br />I'm afraid that I don't understand where you're coming from. Could you please explain to me why that quote makes you think of God as a passive-aggressive boyfriend?<br /><br />I was trying to convey the idea that the Law that God gives the Israelites is based upon the love and kindness that He has shown to them.

We see God as wrathful and angry because that's how we are. When we want something, and rightly deserve it, and then don't get it, how do we respond?Erik Winterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07735938702001659391noreply@blogger.com
