Any man who has anger is a woman.
There is no such thing as righteous anger and we are not allowed to judge, only God.
We are not to judge another’s soul. That’s it. We are to judge and admonish one another without being hypocritical. Our justice system is based on judging. We pick spouses and friends and even employment based on judging. This whole “judge not” is probably the most twisted verse in Scripture.
Wrong. Laws are for the lawless. We are guided either by Good (God) or Evil (Satan). Free will does not exist
Getting angry at anyone is of the Devil and no matter how hard you try to bend scriptures and words, is wrong.
Free will absolutely exists and it was given to us by God. WE make our decisions, not God, not Satan. Getting angry is not of the devil; was Christ of the devil when he was righteously angered by the money changers in the temple that He Himself fashioned a whip to drive them out? When He flipped the tables was He guided by Satan? Righteous anger is not vengeance.
1 Cor 6
Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge trivial cases? Do you not know that we will judge angels?
Anger is an emotional response, created by God, just as joy, just as sorrow. But the corrupted heart of a fallen man can turn anger into unjust, unrighteous, selfishly driven anger, joy into avaricious joy, and sorrow into sorrow for self, with disregard for others.
It is not the emotion that is at fault; God created us with the capacity to experience all and every emotion that He himself experiences. Rather, it is our fallen nature that is at fault. So, yes, there is righteous anger (if it is not rooted in your selfish or immature heart), and God desires that we judge the world, NOT from a selfish, immature heart, one that disregards mercy, compassion and understanding, but with a mature heart that does not slip into selfish, self-righteous or destructive judgemental heart.
If you are incapable of these things, you are still merely an infant, spiritually.
It's like the man who NEVER touches alcohol because he is incapable of actually NOT being influenced by it, and so abstains from a place of weakness, not from a place of strength.
Matt 15:11
What goes into a man's mouth does not make him unclean,' but what comes out of his mouth, that is what makes him unclean.'The content of your heart is what makes you unclean, not the act, and not the emotion.
Bible thumpers have no common sense and are the same as atheist intellectuals. Memorizing and quoting lines means nothing. You know of the bible but don’t Know the bible.
Thank you. Bless you.
May your opinion serve you well, and serve others well.
Thank you again.
Wrong. Anger is what God has and His Anger, unlike ours is perfect. God doesn't get mad as being mad suggests lack of control. We are free to judge...but are to judge correctly. I can judge actions all day long but I may never judge intent.
When you can grasp the fundamental idea that no man nor woman can help themselves then you can see judging others and getting mad is wrong.
Anger is a woman trait and that’s because her father is the devil, as per Adam and Eve.
