Do you know that if you get mad, you're sinning against God's will?

Question

I mean, we almost always get mad when our expexctations aren't fulfilled, or when someone else attacks us or displeases us.

Since it is God's will for all things to happen and all beings to exist, isn't "getting mad" actually going against God's Plan?

In that case, Jesus was a big sinner when he got mad at the temple merchants, because God wanted them to be there.

acording to believers, nothing happens without God willing it to happen, so? Why get mad? God wanted it this or that way, didn't HE?

Answer 1

Here's a bigger question for ya:

How CAN we ever go against God's plan?

"God" is supposed to have created the universe by design, and is supposed to be omniscient (all-knowing), omnipotent (all-powerful) and omnipresent (everywhere at once). So anything you do, your sins included, is part of "God's Plan" by definition, as is your subsequent repentence or indifference, and your consequent reward or punishment. You're just God's little puppet, a part of Himself that He only distinguishes from Himself for the sadomasochistic pleasure of "testing" you, even though He already knows how you'll fare.

That's theism! And the Christians can thumb me down, but they can't actually refute a word of what I've said.

Answer 2

You are incredibly wrong. Do you think it is God's will for someone to rape me? If I get mad at the rapist, am I going against God's will? Anger is an emotion that God MADE, and it is okay to be angry. Anger at sin is appropriate. Anger that your chicken nuggets got burned in the oven is not so appropriate.
EDIT:
Jesus did not sin by becoming angry at the money changers. The money changers shouldn't have been selling overpriced sacrificial items (they sold the items people needed to make a sacrifice, but charged too much). They were taking advantage of people, and Jesus was justifiably angry.
ANOTHER EDIT:
No, once again you speak falsely. Christians don't believe that whatever God wills is what will happen. If that was the case, there wouldn't be any murder, lies, stealing, rape, deceit, pride, etc. God created perfection but gave us the ability to mess it up. We continually choose to mess it up. If you created a beautiful painting and then gave me a paintbrush and paint, and then you left the room, would you be happy with me when you come back to discover that I have ruined your painting with my own ugly designs? You gave me the tools, but you hoped that I would use them for good. I instead used them to destroy - anger is okay on your part. So are other emotions, like disappointment and sadness.

Answer 3

Your interpretation of scripture is a little off. Jesus did nothing of his own will but that of the Father. So, God did not want the merchants in the temple. Ephesians 4:26 "Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:" I guess that blows the therory that we are not to get angry. Don't let anger eat you up and give the devil a chance to take over. There is such a thing as righteous anger! Like, when you see people who are deceived and you can see that there is no hope of changing their minds and because of that, they will loose their soul. You can have a righteous anger about that and it is NOT sin.

Answer 4

Did you just say that Jesus was a big sinner?

And to be frank, I don't remember anywhere in the Holy Bible saying anything about it being a sin to show emotion...

Don't you think God gets mad when people sin against him?
Would that make God almighty a sinner?

I don't think so!!!!!!!

Nice try.

Answer 5

His temper tantrum at the temple has been a subject of debate. Wrath is a sin, and he was wrathful. I think the loophole is that Jesus is god, and "vengeance is mine so sayeth the lord." In other words since he is god he has the right to judge and be vengeful. It's called rationalizing. The bible thumpers will keep you in an eternal loop of circular logic.

Answer 6

First of all, Jesus was NOT a sinner....

Anyway, anger is a human emotion. I have yet to read in the Bible where it states "do not get mad/angry".

We are not to act out our anger. We are to forgive and to give it up to God.

Everyone "sins" against God. We can't help it. No one here is perfect. God knows that. Thus is why he gave the ultimate sacrifice, his only son, Jesus, to pay your way into heaven in you accept him.....

Answer 7

Since when is "getting mad" always a sin? I get mad when I read about the Holocaust or such things.

Jesus got mad at a lot of blasphemers...including His own Apostles at times. One could almost say that He was "mad" at God as He suffered on the cross.

"Being mad" is not synonymous with "revenge" or "being irrational."

Often times getting mad is a very human emotional symptom of deeply-felt love.

Our free-will allows us to choose to get mad for the right and the wrong reasons...just as it allows us to do most things for a right or wrong purpose.

Don't confuse God's Will with human free-will. Very often humans choose to disregard God's Will.

Answer 8

haven't you read: "Be angry,and sin not" ?if you don't know where
it is- look in a "concordance". you also stated that ' it is GOD's
will for all things to happen ' - it is never his will for sin to happen.
As for the temple merchants, they were not supposed to overcharge travelers who needed turtledoves to offer sacrifices.
wrath- the "expression or release of ones' anger is usually a sin.
a little secret- there is a chapter of proverbs fo every day of the month. read them for 3 years daily and you will increase your
wisdom beyond your imagination. -the WISEMAN

Answer 9

u r a crazy person, Jesus is not a sinner how dare u sit there and say that when God is sitting right there you know that if He sinned then He will be a regular human and He died on the cross for OUR sins not His because he cant sin!! Get that through your head, u r makn me mad!!!! HOW DARE YOU??????

Answer 10

We are all sinners and that is why Jesus died on the cross so we would be forgiven of our sins. If you think your only sin is anger then you are doing better than I am.
