Only while walking here. Jesus would technically be called a Hebrew 'from regions beyond, as having wings, a wonderful living spirit (planted)'No. I'm not Jewish. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Of course, He IS Jewish.The Jews did not see God as angry. They found meaning in suffering.God gave you free will to do what you want, to follow or not to follow..
Although the old testament shows a very vengeful god!
I believe he was vengeful until Jesus died the ultimate sacrifice for our sins, which opened a bridge to God . I do not see anger in the New testament.
"From the eighth to the sixth centuries B. C., during which Israel and Judah tottered before the aggressive power of Syria, Assyria, Egypt, and Babylon, the prophets found meaning in their predicament by seeing it as God's way of underscoring the demand for righteousness. God was using Israel's enemies against her. The experience of defeat and exile was teaching the Jews the true worth of freedom. Another lesson was that those who remain faithful in adversity will be vindicated. Stated abstractly, the deepest meaning the Jews found in their Exile was the meaning of vicarious suffering: meaning that enters lives that are willing to endure pain that others might be spared it. "the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.""

Are you Jewish?
I can agree with that...Before Christ they did regular rituals to offer sacrifice ..After Jesus gave His life, as he said it is finished.
God is the master potter, while going through trials and tribulations we are molded in the Kiln... painful but when you walk through adversity it changes your life and the vessel becomes stronger..
I cannot imagine not having that understanding of God, and faith while going through difficult times..
