About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"RIGHTEOUS ANGER" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
IS IT BAD TO GET ANGRY? JESUS DID. THE JEWS PASSOVER WAS AT HAND AND IN THE TEMPLE THE MONEY CHANGERS WERE GATHERED. THESE WERE JEWS WHO CHANGED THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF MONEY INTO THE TYPE THAT WAS USED IN JERUSALEM. THE MONEY WAS USED TO BUY THE OXEN, SHEEP OR DOVES TO MAKE AN OFFERING TO GOD . A LOT OF WORSHIPERS HAD COME FROM MILES AWAY AND INSTEAD OF BRINGING THEIR OFFERINGS, THEY BOUGHT THEM IN THE TEMPLE.
JESUS GOT ANGRY AND MADE A WHIP AND DROVE THEM ALL OUT OF THE TEMPLE, TURNING OVER THEIR MONEY TABLES AND SAID THEY WERE NOT GOING TO MAKE HIS FATHER'S HOUSE A HOUSE OF MERCHANDISE. (JOHN 2:13 -16 And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables; And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.)
SO, I GUESS THERE IS A RIGHTEOUS ANGER, OTHERWISE, WHY WOULD THE BIBLE SAY IN EPHESIANS 4:26 " Be ye angry , and sin not : let not the sun go down upon your wrath:" THIS IS NOT SAYING TO BE SURE WE REPENT BEFORE NIGHTFALL. IT IS SAYING FOR US NOT TO LET OUR ANGER STOP AGAINST EVIL. IT TELLS US THAT IN ROMANS 12:9 "Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good."
YOU CAN TELL THE RIGHTEOUS ANGER BY YOUR MOTIVATION AND THAT IF IT IS DIRECTED AGAINST THE DEVIL WITH NO CONSIDERATION OF SELF. I WOULD THINK ALL OTHERS WOULD BE CARNAL BECAUSE IF IT IS SELF-SERVING THAT IS WRONG. STAY ANGRY ..... AT THE DEVIL .
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

Well explained David. Deception Is the devils great tool. Yes, there are evil wolves and liars deceiving the world. The world is deceived but we can blame ourselves but there are times blame go's to parents or other human beings. How many parents have put their children in cultist religion. People are given different gifts. You can use them for the world or for the true God. You can be so consumed by the wrong way but still get saved. Problem is when it has vastly devoured you and you realize the deception that may have undermined you in the early years and so the time & resources got wasted. People have different obstacles and some people even have a greater cross than others. Why would a loving God allow fallen Angels and "Lucifer" the devil to effect the earth? Because it is fallen and he was fallen. Why did Christ allow the demons to go into the pigs as he knew they would drown themselves and they would remain without a host. Greater is he that is within the "true" believer that walks with the lord than he that is in the world.
Anger: Righteous Anger of them that welcome God's WILL is well directed if within Christs directions.
There is none good but God. He does have servants.
Some people are of their father the devil just as Jesus Christ said they are. Not all children are of God. GODS mercy is evident in the continued life on earth. The devils people are also evident on earth. Salvation is of the lord.
Bless you
Wayne
