anger

gallenwalsh:
I read somewhere in one of Rays papers that it is the spirit of murder to be angry,perhaps I misunderstand, but I wonder if that is taken from an incorrect interpretation because Jesus surely got angry in the temple when he drove out the moneychangers and there is another scripture quote that says be angry and sin not. so how is being angry like murder ? I read in the old testament somewhere that god considered not paying workers there due wages was like unto murder, actually now that I think about it seems most sins are like murder to God, whether it's fornication , lying, etc. Did I just answer my own question ? 

Dave in Tenn:
Eph 4:25-27  Wherefore, putting away the lying, speak truth each with his neighbour, because we are members one of another; be angry and do not sin; let not the sun go down upon your wrath, neither give place to the devil;

Sound like it's possible for Christ to have been angry and remain sinless?

Gallenwalsh,

Yes, I think you've misunderstood Ray's teaching...perhaps you can post a link or even a name of the paper you are referencing?

1 John 3:15  Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him

The scriptures state that one who hates his brother, hatred in his heart, is a murderer...Jesus did not 'hate his brethren' from the heart.

Here's a good read regarding the words and actions ['being angry'] of Christ during His earthly ministry: http://bible-truths.com/fools.htm


Hope this helps,

Marques

I don't think Jesus hated the money changers he certainly hated the money changing. hate the action not the person. just my humble opinion

Deborah-Leigh:
Anger is not the sin. The motives of the heart is where the sin is to be found.

Rev 20 :12 …And the dead were judged (sentenced) by what they had done [their whole way of feeling, and acting, their AIMS, and endeavors] in accordance with what was recorded in the books. 13. And the sea delivered up the dead who were in it, death and Hades (the state of death or disembodied existence) surrendered the dead in them, and all were tried and their cases determined by what they had done [according to THEIR MOTIVES, aims, and works]. (Amplified version)

Knowing what motivates us is part of judging ourselves but not many know what their motives are. To such, they believe their actions speak for themselves but God sees the heart, the motives and the spiritual condition that dictates our way of feeling, acting, aims and endeavors. :)
