Why was God angry at Israel?

-
God was angry at Old Covenant Israel because they could not keep the law of Moses. This means God did not love those non elect disobedient Israelites. It meant that God would have to make a New Covenant and sacrifice His son. That was the source of His anger toward Israel. He will keep anger at least until the plan of redemption is fulfilled.

Will He end the anger at the end of the process of redemption? Scripture may not say. I have not found it.

However, I believe God created his own anger because of Christ's suffering and for deepening the understanding of the elect remnant of ancient Hebrews and now  the few elect Christians saved by the gospel. Believe in Jesus Christ.

See Hebrews chapter 11 where we see see that the Old Covenant saints realized by divine revelation that the Old Covenant of salvation by works was not going to save those who looked to the law of Moses for their salvation. The non elect Israelis strayed.

The remnant saved in the Old Covenant looked for a heavenly country, a perfect covenant, the New Covenant!

Summary of Gospel and Christian Doctrine

-
This list of crucial Christian doctrine is not every crucial doctrine but is enough to separate the believer from the false churches.  A. Flee the Denominations. Flee Sacralist religion. B. Flee all cults that seek to control your lives as well, fellow believers!  C. Flee those who teach Christ was begotten in heaven. He was only begotten on earth, being called the Son after He was born and then begotten at the Resurrection. Christ was the eternal Word with no beginning in heaven. See John 1:1 Luke 1:34 and Acts 13:33. D. And finally, flee all religion that denies the Holy Spirit is a distinct person and God equal to the Father and Son. Jesus called Him Spirit of Truth. John 14. Stand alone for Christ and the full revelation of the gospel, if necessary! 1. The gospel cuts the hearts of the pre-chosen, which is the spiritual circumcision. This cutting must come before true repentance as the power turns men and women to Christ, showing them their unbelief in a painful, but blessed wa

Predestined to Hell

-
The human mind cannot always take in the sobering reality of predestination. We who are predestined are grateful, but sorrowful. We know many we love are not so predestined. It hurts. Paul said he could wish that he would suffer if his kinsmen would be saved. But it is also that same Apostle Paul who told the truth in Romans chapter 9, that some vessels were created for special use, like fancy kitchenware, and others were created for menial use, to be thrown away. The truth is, sin is created by those who are not kept from it. The devil and Adam created sin in their acts of defiance, having been permitted to have a will apart from the will of God. They used that will to create sin. It is always that way. Only God is good, and only His Will is sinless. So then, there are a few predestined to heaven, through God given faith. And there are many, including many who believed in predestination like Calvin and the Protestants, who are predestined to hell. They were created for menial

The Law of Moses Is a Curse

-
Yes it is true. The law of Moses is a curse. The law is good, but it is external to the heart. It is a curse to mankind because it condemns mankind to failure. The law of Moses requires sinless perfection. Genesis 28:58-68. All the law of Moses must be kept. And man could not do so. Deuteronomy 6:25 and Acts 15:10. The Sermon on the Mount is stricter, morally, than Moses. The commands of the Apostles are intended for the hearts of believers. But the law on stone was not intended for the heart. It governed only outward behavior. Keeping New Covenant commands is what true Christians, those chosen before the world, must follow. The law of faith, the Law of Christ, is the law in force. But Christ kept the law of Moses and offered the perfect sacrifice to free the chosen from the curse of the external law! Galatians 3:13. Paul established the law by confirming Christ was the fulfillment of the types and shadows found in the law. Roman's 3:31. But the ordinances tied to those types
