I hope those beliefs do the most good of any you might have.
God to anyone, only God can reveal Himself to them. If I talk you into something the next
guy can talk you out of it. I cannot make scripture come true, or promises of God, only
God can do that. That said I do believe God will keep His Word and in it all of mankind is
heading to a very bad place and according to scripture only a few avoid it.

the gospel. He works with us, we maybe the one who plants a seed, or waters, and God
makes it grow. I believe that we share and God enlightens when we share the truth, but
my sharing is no different than anyone else' if God isn't in it, its worthless. So I attempt to
share about His love, righteousness, and Holiness so others may hear.
I don't know why He chooses us to be apart of His plan of salvation but we are. I know the
life I've lived without God's grace would send me some place I'd rather not go. I also know
that everyone I come into contact with faces the same fate, and the same salvation I have
has been offered by the same one who died for my sins. So if I can share so He receives
the reward for His suffering by helping others like me come to Him, I'm grateful.

"wrath" of god anthropomorphizes the divine and attributes human qualities to a being that transcends humanity. It represents a view of god understood in a particular context by a particular culture. It is problematic to continue trying to humanize god, and interpret the sacred texts in a strictly historical/literal hermeneutic.

The New Testament says let NO ONE ... deceive you with vain words about "the wrath" of God.
" Let no one deceive you with vain words, for because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience." (Eph. 5:6)
Paul says here in essence "Don't let anybody fool you."
