I've been talking a bit about the existence of the God of the Bible and a person's belief in it. And in doing that I've spent a small amount of space describing those who take the atheistic or agnostic position. God's titles for such folks are "fools", "scoffers", and "scorners". And here's what I read this morning on the matter:
"The LORD's curse is on the house of the wicked, but He blesses the dwelling of the righteous. Toward the scorners He is scornful, but to the humble He gives favor. The wise will inherit honor, but fools get disgrace" -- Proverbs 3:33-35.
The Bible declares God to be patient, loving, slow to anger, and long-suffering. It does not declare Him to be ever-suffering. He will not strive with a person endlessly (Ge 6:3), as His flooding of the world proves.
