Wow anger is a subject that’s hard to define…feeling, actions, crime, murder, abuse, or is it the opposite of love, or is it the result of ❤️ not returned? And there’s all different degrees of it…some just annoyance…some hopping mad. Some unhappy cause they weren’t chosen for a job and those who are suicidal cause work’s too stressful for them. And that makes other people angry right there…and not want to contribute to their charitable means…who knows? But I do think to say that anger is an only emotion is definitely a sin! For the simple reason there’s so much positive ✨️ if you’re quiet still and just look for it!
anger is the dark side of passion, it is apathy that is the opposite of love.. even Jesus had that whole ‘cleansing of the temple’ episode.. LOL
There’s that verse love is kind, patient etc. I one if it’s live if you manage a couple on that list.
I think that word gets thrown around a bit to much for all the wrong reasons. Oh and define an enemy.malachi 1:3 romans 9:13. Jacob I loved and Esau I hated, he hated Esau to the point he even turned his land to wasteland. Difficult passages when you take them out of context. Tough love!
great insight Kaddy.. and maybe a nutshell sermon soon..I haven’t had enough insights to even find humor in this yet..
Hi BD!
I have been struggling with the same thing for about 15 years…thought all was good about 6 years ago & under the counsel of The Holy Spirit. Then that hatred flared up 10 months ago – I am giving The Holy Spirit the side eye a lot as well as rolling my eyes with deep sighing.
LOL ‘givin the holy spirit the side eye’ Ima have to you that.. thanks
Jesus did get angry with people who were mocking God’s temple and God Himself…praise Him for his righteousness and goodness in teaching us all His father’s ways, if He hadn’t this really would be a terribly fallen world! I have a difficult time with anger cause some relatives now deceased were abusive and I’m still in the grieving process.
I hear ya.. amazing how people can still harass you after they’re dead!

Ok, I have to say this cracked me up. Love the humor, but also, I’M SO THERE. We lost everything because of someone else’s actions, while my daughter was fighting cancer. I get up every day ask the Lord to help me forgive, and he does and is. I’m at a point where if the person was in front of me and got hit by a car (NOT me driving!) that I would jump in and render aid. The Lord has healed my heart a lot. But would I be able to get down on my knees and wash their feet?? Nope, not yet. The Lord and I still have work to do.
I hear ya FS! its a challenge all the time .. thanks for sharing your honest assesment
Sometimes I think it was in the last will & testament! I take very little if the inheritance they left cause I wan̈t to be independent from them !
hard to live with loved ones even.. excercise our faith and patience
