How come Jesus got angry?

Question

Jesus got angry sometimes, like when he threw over the tables in the temple John 2 :12-25. Isnt it wrong to be angry?

Answer 1

Jesus was obviously angry at the merchants who exploited those who had come to God’s house to worship. There is a difference between uncontrolled rage and righteous indignation—yet both are called anger. We must be very careful how we use the powerful emotion of anger. It is right to be angry about injustice and sin; it is wrong to be angry over trivial personal offenses.

The Temple area was always crowded during Passover with thousands of out-of-town visitors. The religious leaders crowded it even further by allowing money changers and merchants to set up booths in the Court of the Gentiles. They rationalized this practice as a convenience for the worshipers and as a way to make money for Temple upkeep. But the religious leaders did not seem to care that the Court of the Gentiles was so full of merchants that foreigners found it difficult to worship. And worship was the main purpose for visiting the Temple. No wonder Jesus was angry!

Answer 2

It is not wrong to feel angry at times. It is how we respond to that feeling that matters. There are healthy and productive ways of dealing with anger and not so healthy and destructive ways. I think if Jesus existed he was a human like us so it would be natural for him to experience anger at times, especially when he would witness injustice or intolerance. Although I think the story where he curses and kill the fig tree in Mark 11:12-14 for not having fruit for him to eat though was a little over the top and not an example of appropriate anger or response to it. Then again I don't put any stock in the Bible as a literal truth story and I think it was written by a series of humans.

It's not at all a sin to get angry. When you hurt someone out of anger, then it's a sin. But Jesus was human, meaning he had human flaws to, he wasn't exactly Buddah you know? He was basically trying to make them understand just how bad it was what they where doing. Throwing a table across a room gets the point more across then if he where to just say "Don't gamble in my fathers house". Like when a teacher kicks a student out of his classroom for being a disruption, makes you respect them.

Answer 4

It is perfectly alright to get angry, as long as you don't use it to commit sin whch nowadays is called 'revenge'.

And besides, remember Jesus was flesh and in human form. It was completely possible for the flesh to work in him sometimes. But overrall, he got angry because the people were abusing the holy place of God, so he had the right to get angry. But that definitely did not make him commit any sin.

Answer 5

Because he was the son God first and and a man after that. Meaning , God sent him down in a form we could relate to. Our form. We are not perfect and neither was he. Just supposedly forgiven. Lets not forget the whipping part. Jesus took it to another level there. Like father, like son? Hmm. Well at least he didn't turn them all to tablets of salt. Whoop-***!!

Answer 6

i don't be attentive to why whilst it incorporates Jesus different religions get indignant. Christianity is definitely considered one of the few religions that even have faith that Jesus is the Son of God. maximum different ones have faith he became purely a prophet. yet heavily, how fashionable do you are able to desire to be for time to surrender and start up on your start?

Answer 7

they made a variety store out of the temple of God and exploited the religious pilgrims of the day. i don't see anything wrong with what He did at all.

Answer 8

He allowed himself to be "burdened" by ego, so that he could demonstrate that it (ego) will always be transcended...it is not wrong to be angry...never deny your feelings; it is how we deal with (and react to) our feelings that matters. Denial or stuffing of feelings causes energy blocks that will impede your reception of spiritual growth...

Answer 9

its not wrong to get angry! you can get angry but sin not. why wouldnt he be angry? them ppl were in God's house gambling selling and everything but what you should do in Gods house.

Answer 10

The prophets are human after all, and his anger was most likely righteous... as I do not believe he would get angry unless the commands of Allah (God) had been belittled. Allah (God) knows best!
