Is Your Anger Righteous? - 07/30/00 05:32 PM
I think it is a topic worth studying into.
Here we go again into this study that I took from my SDA Today friend, Vince MacIsaac.
quote:
Matthew 5:21-22 (English-RSV)21 "You have heard that it was said to the men of old, 'You shall not kill; and whoever kills shall be liable to judgment.'
22 But I say to you that every one who is angry with his brother shall be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother shall be liable to the council, and whoever says, 'You fool!' shall be liable to the hell of fire.I [Vince] intend to ask some hard questions here, to try to get ourselves to examine this
topic deeply.Is there ever a time when it is right or even "ok" for a Christian to be mad or Angry at another person? Either a Brother or Sister In Christ or a "heathen"?
Is there really such thing as Righteous Anger, among believers?
Can anger be justified?
Is there a time and Place for it?
Is our anger apart or Gods Plan to correct people? Why or Why not?
Is anger a normally emotion?
Where does anger come from?
Historically just what is the Origins of Anger?
What should we do with our Anger?
How can we deal with it?
Is it something that we can control? Why? Why not? How?
Why Does Anger often consume and seemingly control those claiming to have the Victory of Christ in there lives?
If I am a True Follower of God and Submitting
myself daily and momently to God will anger be present in my life?If I become Angry what will I do about it?
Ecclesiastes 7:9
Do not be quickly provoked in your spirit, for anger resides in the lap of fools.1 Timothy 2:8
I want men everywhere to lift up holy hands in prayer, without anger or disputing.
There you have it just as I received it from Vince of SDA Today.
Let's take a really close look at this one and examine it thoroughly from all angles.
SOP quotes would also be appreciated as we study this one together.
