Divine anger against mankind because of the crucifixion, and the Gospel of divine love are topics, today. A “Yahoo! Answers” writer using the ID “Mike” (Level 3 with 1,261 points, a member since March 29, 2012) posted the following originally asked on Yahoo Answers United Kingdom:
Has 'God' given up on mankind for the Killing....?
of his one and only son. for which i might add he did not intervene to save him..does this mean god is totally Evil, in fact he's so evil, that satan went into retirement as he just couldn't top that evil act....standing by and watching your son get KILLED,.
Is god EVIL and Abandoned the human race,abandoned as he was about on a daily basis 2000 years ago and then pooooof, he watched his son get KILLED and decided he'd had enough as there has been no sight or sound of him since...explain that.
THE GOLDEN ARROW: Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples, And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another? Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see: The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me. (Matthew 11: 2-6, KJV)

“Mike”, every Christian believer asks that same question (maybe not the same way, though); and none feel they have a complete and proper answer until they truly begin to discover the truth of divine love. I can only share a few points, here, that have been helpful to most Christian believers:
(1.) To know the love of GOD, there are so many changes we have to make in how we think, reason, and behave that, when we attempt to fully understand the things specially provided to us by GOD intended to help us know him as he is, Christians have been taught to say, “we must be born again.” Our entire approach to reality is to be permanently altered by our receiving of divine substance; therefore we say, a person must have the Holy Spirit: GOD bestows a portion of his own eternal content and “makeup” (so to speak) whereby believers may recognize and begin to understand divine events and sacred purposes. Through divine operations in baptism, the person “born again” is given inseparable material including faith, holiness, joy, love, truthfulness, wisdom and wrath against sin. Moreover, born again, the believer must gradually “grow up” again (and that includes the challenge of “growing pains”).
(2.) The experience of coming into right relationship with GOD also involves accepting accountability for spiritual duties, for correct recognition of the awesomeness of GOD (some say, fear of the Lord), for continual recognition of divine presence, for demonstrating and displaying the righteousness of divine law, and for heartfelt acknowledgment of GOD (we say, worship) expressing gratitude, humility, and respect.
There is far more to be said, reasonably shared, and spiritually understood. (For example, (3.) What is the good news about GOD a person would like to hear: that there is forgiveness? that there is love? that there is a promise of life? Believers who are trusting GOD also are sharing that very “good news” (we say, Gospel). When first presented to us from others like ourselves (instead of from angels), the Gospel may seem foolish, illogical, impossible and unbelievable for it presents truth that is otherwise invisible to finite created beings and living creatures. Multiple divine operations, sacred events and eternal truths are being presented that reveal the sure and certain love of GOD to mankind.) Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your faith. Jesus will return.
