How is God's wrath a manifestation of his love for us?

Job 5:17, Hebrews 12:7, Revelation 3:19

Those whom the Lord loves He Chastens Like a father does for his son

That is one twisted reasoning with absolutely no scriptural basis. It's like that whole block of text is just something made up! The scriptures say this: Romans 6:23: For the wages sin pays is death, but the gift God gives is everlasting life by Christ Jesus our Lord. We die because we sin. Romans 6:7 : For he who has died has been acquitted from [his] sin. When we die our sins have been acquitted. What's the reason for a fiery torment eternally? Jeremiah 7:31 : And they have built the high places of To′pheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hin′nom, in order to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, a thing that I had not commanded and that had not come up into my heart.’ In Bible times humans were the ones to come up with the idea of burning people. As the scripture points out burning people was not something God commanded. IT DIDN'T EVEN COME UP INTO HIS HEART!! You see, the scriptures say clearly what the wages sins pays is. It's a human false doctrine to say that humans are tortured eternally by a loving God. God is most assuredly love and love does not torture someone forever and ever and ever. Look to the bible for answers and not faulty HUMAN reasoning.

God's wrath is meant to turn you away from sin and return to him. It is also judgment for wickedness.

Tough love. Surely you've heard of that.

There are all kinds of love which manifest themselves in a negative or seemingly negative way. Love isn't all a bed of roses. You sometimes have to hurt to be kind.

A supreme being capable of installing , peace and harmony and chooses, violence. Beats me.

I know of no book which has been a source of brutality and sadistic conduct, both public and private, that can compare with the Bible.

God's wrath. fear in god... etc.

horrible horrible tricks that religion uses to scare you into being "good"

wake up. It's Mythology used to control the masses. Think for yourself for a change!

Like an abusive husband beating his wife "I'm hurting you baby because I love you so much."

God's like that.

He's an abusive absentee landlord... He just loves the paycheck in the mail.

I dont know, i never met God before
