HA I wish I was perfect enough where I was always little Miss perfect Christian ball of sunshine but let's be honest, I'm human. I deal with things through prayer (typical Christian answer I know) or talking to someone. I'm very sarcastic and I do have an ugly side. The only difference between my ugly side as a Christian and the ugly side of a non Christian is why I try hold it in. I do it because I'm trying to bring honor and glory to God. Non Christians may do it to be kind and courteous and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Christians should be kind and courteous because according to the Bible that is how we are supposed to be but to bring glory to God. It's great that people can be kind because they want to.
I really do wish I could treat everyone with kindness but you know what, I'm not perfect and I will never claim to be. I am no better than anyone else on earth

No ill will perceived. If we became perfect upon becoming a Christian, the Bible wouldn't have so many letters (called epistles) written to the churches established by the apostles - letters reminding them of how to serve the Lord with their actions, even their thoughts.
I never forget what I believe, but there are times when I don't act like it. The hard part is approaching the person/s I hurt and asking their forgiveness, as well as repenting before God.

Can we look at this from a little different perspective? If you are doing nothing, Satan will leave you alone and you will be at peace with everyone and everything. If you are an effective Christian, he will come after you and your will have mechanical breakdowns and frustrations and every reason to get angry. But there is help. Do I really believe what I just wrote? Maybe, it rains upon the just and the unjust. I hope I have satisfied your curiosity.

I once asked a christian if Jesus wants us to love our enemies then shouldn't we love satan and the guy got so pissed but it was a sincere question. I stopped going to those bible studies. I don't respect xtians and i think you feel the same but I think you may have more respect for Gnosticism which is xtian but different.They believe that Jesus married Mary Magdelene and that the God of the Old Testament was a Demiurge meaning he was a local mountain diety that gained power as the Jews worshipped it. They also believe in the feminine aspect of god. Also that Jesus was an Essene(kind of like todays secret societies but hebrew). Some also use sex in their rites. More magickal and mystical more hands on.93

Each day, we need to ask the Lord to help us. It is a daily process to learn to respond to others as Jesus would have us do and we fail many times. If we are walking with Jesus, the Holy Spirit lets us know when we have behaved badly. But, the Bible tells us, if we confess it and ask forgiveness, that He is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us of all unrighteousness.

I get into the flesh and yell sometimes, but then I quit it quick and ask for forgiveness because I can get into the flesh real quick with anger. Not with strangers but family members who know how to push my buttons. But there are many things I have been pretty controlled with and its pretty amazing. None of us are perfect, were striving to be Christ-like as we mature in the faith but no one will ever reach perfection as humans.

Romans 3:23
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God
Everyone has there days, but we are forgiven if our heart is true, and God knows everything. I Pray, that helps me stay focused and live my life for God everyday the best I can.

Sure. I have days when I'm very kind and considerate, and I have days when I feel like I hate the world and just lash out at everyone. Nobody's perfect.

a mature Christian should be Jesus 'like'.
IF the Scriptures read, a person is 'prearmed'. Thots from the Holy Spirit go thro your mind.
Pre warned is pre armed. Some think they're psychic, yet is the HOLY SPIRIT urgeings. often a word or a action is put in thots ahead of time.
Hopefully , everybody says "Jesus PLEASe what is your direction?" if human emotions seems overwhelming.
