Is it a sin if I get angry at men who rape women?

Question

I just get so angry when I hear about rapists in the news.
Do you think God will forgive me for my anger?

Answer 1

God is a just and Holy God and He hates what is evil. The Bible says we are to Hate what is evil and cleave to what is good. Romans 12:9. It is not a sin to hate evil, to hate the act of a rapists but what is sin is to harbor unforgiveness in your heart. Jesus Christ will not be blasphemed, in the end He will pay every wrong and it is not up to us to harbor anger but to just allow God to deal with it. Vengeance belongs to the Lord. The Bible states very clearly that we are to love each other and in a world that has been so corrupted it's difficult to love the unlovealbe but I know that with God all things are possible,
God will surely forgive your anger if you go before Him and repent and He will also show you how to Love people while at the same time hating sin, just ask Him.

Answer 2

ABSOLUTELY NOT! Jesus got angry when he came into the temple and everyone was "doing business and making money" instead of worshipping God. He overturned tables and showed his anger outright. John Chapter 2. It is not a sin to be angry. What you do with the anger is what is sinful. That is what is so great about God. He knows were not perfect & we never will be. He knows we are carnal & we will have emotions and, at times say or do the wrong thing. But, he's always there with his grace, love and forgiveness. The World and Satan want to let us Christians feel that everything that we do, say or feel is wrong and that we have to be perfect. Not true! Remember, God ALWAYS forgives- seventy times seven!

Answer 3

It is not a sin to be angry read Ephesians 4:26 God gets angry. God Hates sin - all wrong doings. God doesn't have to forgive your anger - only the acts that you may commit in anger.
Remember, vengeance is mine Saith the Lord. The rapists will pay for their sins.

Answer 4

Anger is NOT a sin- that's a common misconception. Remember when Jesus got so mad at those people doing business in a temple of God that he overturned all those tables and flung things around? That wasn't a sin- that's expression of humanity- anger at injustice. That is a good and healthy thing, and you shouldn't ask God for forgiveness for something that's not a sin.

Answer 5

Of course God will forgive you- and you can channel that anger into doing something beneficial on behalf of women- join a domestic violence abuse hotline to support women- it would be comforting to hear a male on the other line supporting a woman who was traumatized by another male. It gives women hope.

Answer 6

God will forgive your anger, just like he will forgive the rapist, as long as the rapist is a christian.

Answer 7

Yes. Jesus said it is only a sin if you are angry with your brother WITHOUT CAUSE. So being angry because some ****** rapes women is not a sin. However, it would be a sin to be, say, racist, and be angry at your [black,hispanic, etc.] brother without any cause - that is, they didn't do anything to you, and they haven't sinned.

Answer 8

In Proverbs it says that a foolish man gives vent to his anger, but i wise man keeps himself under control.

So just don't sin in your anger and you will be fine
+
God will forgive you nevertheless

Answer 9

It is not sin to be angry against men who rape women. It is a sin to say it is wrong for a Christian to be in the military.

Answer 10

If God forgives murderers and rapists, I'm sure that he'll forgive you.
