Is it wrong to get angry?

Question

When is it right?

Answer 1

No. Anger is a perfectly natural and acceptable response. It's what we do when we're angry that makes a difference. Anger can lead to resolve to do better. On the other hand anger can lead to destructive behavior.

Anger is right when we see injustice. When the poor and hungry and naked and widow and orphan and the falsely accused are persecuted. When people are massacred because of their ethnicity or religious beliefs, it is right to be angry. It is appropriate to speak out against these atrocities. We need to elect better leaders. We should send money to charitable organizations to help those in need. If we don't speak up for those in need, who will speak up for us when we are in need?

Answer 2

No, anger is a normal and acceptable emotion. Jesus got angry and he upset the tables of the unequitable desecrating the church. Anger at inequity is common and is a healthy spur of change when acted out without murder.
So, it's ok to feel angry, it's just knowing when, where, and how to express it the best which is up for a lot of interpretation of course.

Answer 3

Every human has emotions and being angry is one of them, therefore it's not wrong. It's right whenever something makes you feel angry. Seriously, are you like 5 years old ?

Answer 8

There is a worldly anger, when you get mad at someone because they got the last piece of pizza, or they won the video game. Then there is righteous anger, being angry at someone because they have wronged you, or your son or daughter did something they weren't supposed to do. Now, vengence is a whole other matter entirely, vengence is mine saith the Lord.
