Tifunloran:
We live in a high-speed age that is filled with tensions and pressures that make people edgy. Small things can be so annoying that they cause tense persons to explode with anger, saying things they later regret or doing things for which they later have remorse. A thoughtless remark, an unintentional bump or an irritating discourtesy is a small thing, but over such small things a person can become violently angry if he fails to exercise self-control.

Kobojunkiee:
All it means is that it is probably time to go see a mental health counselor

ThePlainTruth:
Anger is Satan's spritual food, so know that anytime your are angree you are giving Satan a free delicious spiritual meal.

Kobojunkiee:
Anger is simply a human emotion that can be brought under control depending on the mental state of the one experiencing it.
God does not list anger as a sin..and there is nothing Satanic about the emotion since even God speaks of being angry..

ThePlainTruth:

Anger can easily lead to sin: Ephesians 4:26 “In your anger do not sin” Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry.

Also Matthew 5:22 But I say, if you are even angry with someone, you are subject to judgment! If you call someone an idiot, you are in danger of being brought before the court. And if you curse someone, you are in danger of the fires of hell.

Kobojunkiee:
Anything you can think of can lead to sin but not everything is sin and we are warned against describing that which God has not declared as sin, as so.
Do not add or remove from the laws of God.

ThePlainTruth:

Matthew 5:22 But I say, if you are even angry with someone, you are subject to judgment!

Kobojunkiee:
Consider that in the context of the passage Matthew 5 vs 21 -26 and see if Jesus Christ declared anger a sin or not.

ThePlainTruth:

Jesus clearly stated that Matthew 5:22 But I say, if you are even angry with someone, you are subject to judgment!

Kobojunkiee:
He said there will be judgment, when? Read the verse in its original context to know what the message really is about.

ThePlainTruth:

Proverbs 29:22 An angry person starts fights;

So it is better to avoid anger as anger can easily lead to sin.

Kobojunkiee:
A fight is not a sin.
Back to Matthew 5 vs 21-26, why not figure out instead what Jesus Christ did indeed decree a sin in that context?

ThePlainTruth:

I never called anger a sin. I said anger can easily lead to sin. Jesus clearly stated in: Matthew 5:22 But I say, if you are even angry with someone, you are subject to judgment!

ThePlainTruth:


Anger can easily lead to sin: Ephesians 4:26 “In your anger do not sin” Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry.

Also Matthew 5:22 But I say, if you are even angry with someone, you are subject to judgment! If you call someone an idiot, you are in danger of being brought before the court. And if you curse someone, you are in danger of the fires of hell.

Well said.....
At the bolded, I wonder is "idiot" meaning "fool"? The "curse" part I didn't know about.
Wondering how a person can "curse" someone?
I find myself having a "righteous anger" when thinking about the current state of Nigeria and the spirits that are in the religion section.

It's quite difficult to "not" get angry about injustice.....in any form.
I have to stay daily praying for victory over this hereditary trait.
