Guest ninhao Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Hello Dak. I think even in the time you have righteous anger there is the possibility you will act sinfully. Let me say I agree there's the time when your anger is condoned by God but what you do with that anger may not be. Hence in your anger do not sin etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen this matter in this kind of light before. And yes, I think that this is why I need more self-control, so that I will not sin when I'm angry -- even when my anger is righteous! -- and do only the will of God. And that... should be very hard to do.... Thanks ninhao! By the way, about our discussion in the other thread, I'll try now to make my post later today or tomorrow. ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anger at an injustice inflicted against oneself is also appropriate.Anger is a warning flag-it alerts us to those times when others are attempting to or have violated our boundaries. Anger can become sinful when it is motivated by pride(James 1:20) when it is unproductive and distorts God's purposes (1 Corinthians10:31) or when anger is allowed to linger (Ephesians 4:26-27).We must act to solve our part of the problem (Romans 12:18).We cannot control how others act or respond,but we can make the changes that need to be made on our part.

Guest AFlameOfFire Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I always found anger is always righteous when someone else is angry at me (and is therefore always this justifiable "righteous anger") but its never righteous if the tables are turned I ever am. No siree, thats always unjustified In otherwords its always righteous (coming your way) but never righteous coming out from you. Or so it seems lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He knew what was going on before He went in there. God does not lead us into battle blindfolded. He never has and never will.God ordained what happened. God justified what happened. The gifts of God are without repentance.Now, I would not suggest that someone go in and do something that they were not led by God to go do.But, if God has led you in such a way, get ready, the wolf pack will bite hard.Get in the Word and read, read, read. God will show you through the Word your ministry.God bless you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Bopeep. I think you may have just answered my question. However, the others also have valid points, and I have to consider them too, so I cannot yet give you the Best Answer award ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't tested it yet, but I think that's what it does. Also, I remember reading from the pinned thread about Worthy Q & A that the asker of the question (in this case, me) has already been given the ability to decide who has given the best answer....

God bless you Thanks for the reply. You gave a few interesting points. I'll be considering what you said about "the gifts of God are without repentance." Just need to point out a couple of things though: First, Jesus knew beforehand what was going to happen at the moneychanger's tables because he is God and he has that ability. We don't. And second, I have found out in my life that God's leading has been mostly blindfolded, even unto spiritual battles. Isn't this our motto as Christians? Walking by faith and not by sight? ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
