Quite frankly I don't believe angry and wrath are interchangeable. Perhaps at one time they were, but not now.
I don't believe "conversation" and "behaviour" are interchangeable either. 400 years ago they may have been, but not now.
Words change. The English language is very fluid.

[FONT=&quot]1 Thessalonians 4:15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.[/FONT]
--There is no way that any one here is going to prevent the resurrection of anyone. However, if Christ comes, we shall precede those who have already died in Christ.

The word angry has changed its meaning. To the common person it means one who has lost his temper, or even is close to losing his temper.

From Merriam Webster:

Note that Jesus never antagonized anyone or never was in a rage.
Anger is rage. Anger is a strong emotional feeling usually resulting in antagonism. Displeasure.
These are not the fruit of the Spirit, nor the qualities of the Lord.
We are not to emulate this type of behavior.

Today's use of it (even if what you say is true) has nothing to do with it.

Being angry does not mean you do not have control of your emotions neither is it automatically a negative aspect. God's anger and wrath are always just.

I might be wrong, but Ephesians 4:26 seems to indicate that we can be angry without sinning. And we should get angry with sin, but that anger should be so mingled with genuine love for the people sinning? And your right about God's anger being always just. Jesus—at one point when he was in the synagogue and they were bent out of shape because he was healing someone on the Sabbath—it says he looked around upon them with anger.

How does the author say that anger was displayed? How do you perceive it was displayed at that time? IOW, how do you interpret the passage?

I have just now had the opportunity to read through your discussion with DHK. Needless to say, I was equally aghast at DHK's arguments as were you.

In DHK's mind Hell is not a place where God's anger is manifested in an infinite indescribable manner which makes the human mind shudder.

Rather Hell is place which manifests God's 'wrath'......'wrath' being a more 'appropriate' description reflecting the dignity of the Almighty.

'Anger' is such a pedestrian term.

Of course, Jesus never displayed anger according to DHK.

His overturning the tables of the moneychangers was not done out of anger.

His Matt. 23 tirade against the Pharisees was yet another example of anger-free teaching by our Lord.

It's truly stupefying isn't it?
