Answer 1

Hey you are on the right track..Brother!!

Answer 2

I truly believe that everything that happens is a part of God's plan. Even the bad. And yes, we get angry for some of the things, but this is where our human nature steps into play.

No matter how strong your faith is, it is natural to become angry and some things that may happen. I believe even the most steadfast Christian has questioned God in a time of peril in his or her life. We are human. God gave us all free will and He knows we are mortals and sin and temptations are everywhere. How can any human being NOT get angry at some point in their lives?

It's not a question of faith. The only thing that matters, in my opinion, is that you don't stay angry at God. Because you never know when your last breath will be.

Answer 3

God's plan included humans having freewill. How you use that freewill is up to you it has nothing to do with your faith, that's another issue. So showing anger, getting drunk, etc. are all part of being human. However, every action has a reaction, the question is...are you prepared to live with the consequences of your actions? There are always consequences some are more serious than others. Some are monetary, ie: loosing your temper with your boss and loosing your job. Some are physical, ie: drinking too much and ending up with a hangover. Some involve our self respect and others involve how we are respected by others.

Faith, on the other hand, as defined by the Bible, is the assured expectation of things not yet seen, Hebrews 11:1. So the practice of faith is your belief and, if you are a student of the Bible, you know that it teaches a code of conduct. I Corinthians 6:9-11 tells us to control our temper, not to drink too much, etc. So though we should control these things to the best of our ability, God, through our faith in Jesus sacrifice, will forgive us when we fail because He knows we are just human. God knows that we won't always succeed so He looks at our attitude and our willingness to try. The Pharisees of Jesus day knew the Laws of God and made NO effort to follow them and Jesus called them offspring of vipers.

Answer 4

You can be mad at people for things they do. But if you believe that it's all in God's plan, then you should stand back and try to figure out the lesson in whatever happens to you and around you. This life is temporary, why waste time being angry? Sometimes it seems to be random that we are involved in something, perhaps it's a lesson for the other people involved. A lot of anger comes from fear. A big fear is that some others don't have high morals and will do harm and be irrational. That's scary. We all want to be safe.

Answer 5

We get angry because we are human and not divine, only the divine don't get angry. As for everything being God's plan, well not everything is in the sense that God gave us a brain and the ability to make decisions, He's there to help you out and to put you back on the right track - sort of like a parent - that's why we call him Father!!!

Answer 6

Actually, how could being angry be contradictory since it would have to be a part of His plan as well? If EVERYTHING is a part of his plan, that includes even the unpleasantries such as jealousy, anger, hatred, murder, adultery, rape, theft, hunger, disease, embezzlement, racketeering, money laundering, etc.

What people need to realize is that freedom of choice is god's plan. People choose to do these things, as it is their right. It doesn't mean that god or anyone else finds them acceptable.

It is just an example of "You made your bed, now lie in it." In the end, in one way or another, people will pay the consequences of their wrongdoings.

Answer 7

As long as you are in a human form with all the emotion and chemical reactions you are subject to the emotions.
We are not zombies.
I don't know what the big picture is, I'm not that big.
You and I are here occupying a place in time and space. For a reason, yes. What reason?
We find that out as we go through life.
Yours different than mine.
Faith enters into it on a personal basis.
Why do I believe the way I do?
I really can't put it into words, I just do.
Even my belief is different than most. I have talked with hundreds. I found 4 similar to me but not exactly.
We are very unique beings, you and I and everyone else.

Answer 8

Psalm 7:11 says that God is angry with the wicked every day.

Ephesians 4:26 says
Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:

Appears to me that it is ok to get angry. Just because something is part of God's plan doesn't mean you have to like it. You just have to accept it as part of his plan and give him the praise in all things.

Answer 9

Everything is part of Gods plan, except for our rebellion and our free-will. Those things cause Gods plan for us to take longer than it is supposed to. There isn't anything wrong with becoming angry, even if it is something directly in God's plan. There are many things in God's plan that we don't like and things that make us sad and miserable (such as the loss of a loved one).

It is our Faith that brings us back to God to help us through those times of anger, loneliness, misery, sadness, and rebellion.

Answer 10

God does have a plan for our lives, the problem is that most of us choose to ignore that plan and follow our own. So no this isn't contradictory to our faith, it just shows as the bible does that it is easy for man to turn his back on God.

Answer 11

Very interesting considering all religions do not believe in predestination especially Christians. But whenever something bad happens they always say its part of gods plan. How can it be part of gods plan if we have free will to do what we want. I have no idea, just another confusing aspect of the religious.
