God's Anger and Ours (Part 5)

Some people think God's beliefs about sin/sins/evil has changed for some reason, that when God sees a woman commit adultery against her husband, or a man kill his child, this activating event is perceived/believed differently by him than it is by us, and thus God's consequent emotions and actions are vastly different.  Even using biblical sounding language like God "raining down wrath" puts God's anger in a kind of theological category beyond what we experience.  I believe "God's wrath/fury/raining down" is anger like we know anger to be--but of course coming from a being who is perfectly powerful and able to feel and express anger in a way that transcends us.  But I don't think His anger is different from ours in the sense that it is almost opposite of ours, as if our anger and his has no correlation what so ever. 

A quote from C.S. Lewis perfectly and climactically captures what I'm saying.  It comes from Lewis' "Perelandra," where a character named Ransom is chasing a creature that is evil and murder personified--The Unman, who is a completely, absolutely, and permanently demon possessed man named Weston.  Ransom is chasing the UnMan in order to kill him.  This is the quote that captures God's anger beautifully:

"(Ransom) remembers seeing the Enemy for a moment looking not like Weston but like a mandrill, and realizing almost at once that this was delirium.  He wavered.  Then an experience that perhaps no good man can ever have in our world came over him--a torrent of perfectly unmixed and lawful hatred.  The energy of hating, never before felt without some guilt, without some dim knowledge that he was failing fully to distinguish sinner from the sin, rose into his arms and legs till he felt they were pillars of burning blood.  What was before him appeared no longer a creature of corrupted will.  It was corruption itself to which will was attached only as an instrument.  Ages ago it had been a Person:  but the ruins of personality now survived in it only as weapons at the disposal of a furious self-exiled negation.  It is perhaps difficult to understand why this filled Ransom not with horror but with a kind of joy.  The joy came from finding at last what hatred was made for.  As a boy with an axe rejoices in finding a tree, or a boy with a box of colored chalks rejoices in finding a pile of perfectly white paper, so he rejoiced in finding the perfect congruity between his emotion and its object."

The perfect congruity between emotion and object is THE POINT  I'm making in EVERYTHING I'm writing. 

With God, there is ALWAYS  a perfect congruity between His emotions and its object. 

When God sees/experiences/perceives the activating event of "sin/sins/evil"

--meaning an action that is in violation of some relation,

His belief about that event is in perfect congruity with reality,

and His consequent emotion (anger) and consequent action (judgement--His reaction to very sinful people)

is in perfect congruity with its object.

When experiencing an undeniably evil act, God's anger, and ours, is in perfect congruity.
