Anger is not a sin, because even God gets angry and God is perfect.In the bible, Jesus got angry when he saw all the people selling and buying in the temple. |

We are to practice self-control and not to have angry fits of rage. This type of anger has the potential to lead to hatred and even murder. Remember, in 1 John we read that if someone hates his brother it is like being a murderer. Also remember that Jesus said if we say 'you fool!' we are in danger of God's wrath.
If we are angry as Jesus became angry at the money changers in the temple, of angered at the Pharisees, this is an entirely different motive for anger. He was angry because these people were not honoring God and living in obedience to the Holy Father. This is just and righteous anger. |

Be angry and yet do not sin, do not let the sun go down on your anger Ephesians 4:26
It is not the anger that is sinful. |

No anger is not a sin, neither is sadness, nor pain, nor frustration. |

The bible contains many references to God being angry.This anger nature is what the old believed his nature is-both good and evil and happy and angry.
The gospel as Jesus taught it is his father is angerless.
Anger is a human emotion bordering on revenge.
No doubt,we are many times angered by the world hurting us in many ways but anger is an unfit emotion that requires self control that which God is not required to exercise upon himself for he is truly perfect and harbors no anger. |

Does not the bible say to be angry and sin not? if anger is a sin then Jesus sinned as he was angry many times. |

Yes, It is a sin. Confess right away so it doesn't grow into a worse sin. God wants us to practice feelings of joy and happiness instead. |

God gets angry. So, if my anger is in the Holy Spirit, not it is not a sin. But God in His anger does what makes things better > what is caring > so in the Holy Spirit's anger I will be filled and led to do what makes things better . . . blessing and not cursing > "without complaining and disputing" (Philippians 2:14)
However, Satan has emotions, including anger, but not the kind of anger that is in God's Holy Spirit. So, if Satan's spirit of evil (Ephesians 2:2) is getting me into his anger, Paul very clearly says what to do > "Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice." (Ephesians 4:31) God Almighty can easily get rid of wrong anger. |

God hates all sin Psalm 5:4-5 ...to follow Christ is to overcome sin as Apostle Paul spoke of many trials of the flesh Rom 7:14-23
Anger is a work of the flesh Col 3:8 one aspect of the nature of a physical human - the flesh. True Christians are a work in progress - few are very slow to anger for others anger is an attitude that would require work to overcome ...we are to turn away from sin it is not an overnight instant happening it is a lifetime process
wrong thoughts lead to wrong actions ...what you think eventually becomes what you do Prov 23:7 James 1:14-15 |

Anger is a sin without just cause.
When Jesus drove the money changers out of the temple it sounds to me like he might have been angry. |

Anger is an emotion. It is not a sin. How we behave because we feel angry CAN be a sin. That is the problem. The words and behaviors that accompany anger have a lot of potential to damage relationships. |

I believe that anger can be used as something that is both active and passive. One being that in the bible when Joseph was accused of molesting Potiphars wife. It is said that the Egyptian nobleman burned with anger (Gen. 39:19). On the other hand Potiphars wife appears to portary herself as an innocent victim. She came to Joseph day after day and when he refused and fled from her he left his cloak and falsly accused Joesph of traying to make sport of her. No outbursts or wild tantrums on her part. She manipulated life to get what she wanted. She demonstrated a passive form of anger. Is it sin? Such is the case that one can become manipulative with anger at the same time being silent and deviant. |

Jesus was angry. It is not necessarily a sin.
Mark 3:5 And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other.
The important things are: What are you angry about? And what will you do about it? |

Psalms 9:11 God judgeth the righteous,God is angry with the wicked every day. Proverbs 14:17,22:24 & 25 He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly,Make no friendship with an angry man:Lest thou learn his way. God gets angry,Jesus overthrew money changers in anger, anger against ones who violated Gods rules. We see we are warned not to be friends with angry lest we do the same. We aren't to give into the passion of anger which brings forth sin as Epheshians 4:26 shows Be ye angry and sin not,let not the sun go down upon your wrath. Anger is an emotion and on its own with good cause it does happen but it is about forgiveness,don't let sun go down until anger is put to rest or done away with,ended with no chance to grow and cause ongoning sin. |
