Bible Question: What does the Bible teach about man's anger? |
Bible Answer: It's not a sin to be angry. It IS, however, a sin to act upon that anger. If someone cuts you off while driving, you're allowed to get a bit perturned, but you're not allowed to run the guy down and buss a cap in him! (Translation: You're not allowed to run him/her down and shoot him). The Bible shows people being angry, and God did not exactly punish them for their anger alone; rather, He punished them for acting upon it in a way that was displeasing to God (which, in fact, they all were; Moses destroying the Ten Commandments out of anger, for example). Ephesians 4:26 states "Be ye angry, and sin not; let not the sun go down upon your wrath". It is very easy for us to get angry when we are wronged (hey, even Jesus was angry when he turned over that table in the Pharisees' temple; he was angry at their hypocracy), but we must remember not to act upon that anger. Hope that helps. |
