Just wonderin'

Answer 1

It falls out on the way up.

Answer 2

"Whatsoever you bind up on earth you bind up in heaven". Matthew 18:18.

Basically, the heaven of heavens (universe of universes) is friendly, but creatures like human beings can and do have emotions. You CAN be angry, but about what? Toward who? Why? It is very important to do your best to resolve all anger now and here while you have the chance to make the peace if it is at all possible; at least in your own heart. With God's understanding and guidance, this is possible to figure out and it is possible to overcome... either now or later as it is prudent. Sometimes resolving anger requires that a person go through a series of steps of understanding. It might be that the person has to solve the problem as if it is a puzzle or as if it is like a ball of yarn to unravel in order to get to the cause and purpose of it.

Once that is done, then it requires discernment to discover how to put the puzzle together aright or how to start rolling up the yarn properly this time.

God is infinitely understanding and merciful. In all our afflictions he is with us and also afflicted; the experiences every one of us has are his experiences too. He wants nothing more nor less than for us to be able to be actually happy and free of all anger. For anger is really, if you are ready to accept it born of some fear or hurt of some sort. When a person is angry they are really manifesting an emotion that started at the root as a fear or hurt of some sort. Anger is the indication that there is unresolved business to attend.

Jesus admonishes all of us to "Fear not" and "Be of Good Cheer" and he doesn't mean to fake it.

If we are to become eternal, to be liberated from the fetters of time and space, to be strong and courageous enough to actually live through the intervening levels of spiritual maturity that it will take, then we must learn how to properly overcome anger.

Anger is a spirit poison; not only to ourselves but to those around us. It is amazing when you think how much anger affects you or even just a stranger you pass by.

Anger can become enslaving; and Jesus came to teach us how to be set free from it.

All humans experience anger. If when you die, and you have unresolved anger, you will have to learn how to resolve it in the intervening levels before you can graduate to eternal life. God loves us all so much that, his mercy and judgment is amazingly perfect even more wonderful and loving than human beings can ever imagine. Whatever causes your anger he knows and it is a fact that if you can not get over something now, or even for a long long time in the intervening Mansions then you will eventually forget all that by the time you get to eternity. Don't forget that anger is like a stone hurled into a hornet's nest. How could heaven be heaven if everyone harbored anger?

In the Bible and The Urantia Book it is told there is the heaven of heavens. Plural! That's why. There are many training worlds called Mansions in the Bible. These worlds exist to train you and to teach you how to become perfected as the being that you are even as God is already perfected as he is. This is how we are in God's image because in his sight we are perfect;

So, do your best to find out what is causing your anger, figure out what has to happen to overcome it with good.

Answer 3

The New Testiment teaches us to be angry but sin not, but can you really get angry without sin? That is something to think about. We are to be without spot or wrinkle. That means to have nothing that will keep us from going. The spot or wrinkle means if we do have anger or anything else going on in our life then we need to give it all over to Christ and let go of what ever there is that is causing us to be angry. Would you want to take the chance ?

Answer 4

If there is anger in one's heart then that means there is no love in one's heart. Holding on to anger means someone, somewhere has not been forgiven and a grudge is being held. To get rid of the anger one needs to seek forgiveness

Answer 5

Is this a problem for you? Please talk over the cause of that anger with a wise person you trust and pray about releasing that anger. I know that that is hard, but God can do wonderful things in your heart if you ask.
If you are just wondering, that is how you should advise others on this topic.

Answer 6

If you have anger because you are not forgiving someone, then you have a problem...If you have righteous anger, like the type most feel when they see a small child or an animal abused...that is a different type of anger...or the anger you feel when God is mocked.

Answer 7

I think by the time you get to heaven the anger has melted from the heart.

Answer 8

in the old testiment no you don't, because the crusaders for example have to kill and murder people in battle with anger and rage. But they go to heaven because they did it for faith

Answer 9

Just think how empty heaven must be if that is true....everyone feels anger sometimes!

Answer 10

If your anger doesn't drive you to hurt people, why would you not go to heaven.

Answer 11

You go to heaven by accepting Christs payment for sin and that he was buried and rose again... after that nothing can take your salvation away not even sin... cuz he washed it ALL away
