Isaiah 10 is a great, and humbling example.
God bless you.
Often such emotions & resulting responses are not necessarily bad or evil in themselves: they're dependent on the reason for it & the manner in which it is given. Even Love: we often see that as a good emotion to have & the highest form of expression to another. But Love could also be carnal & not for the other's benefit but maybe because of self-centredness. Or, Honesty: 'honesty is the best policy' is the adage, but one wouldn't share all the good & bad of a person when an enquiry is made - one could then be accused of being judgemental or biased. Obedience: a good trait, but should we then obey the Devil or one who's leading us into error?
You mentioned Anger. Anger is also one that can be good or bad. We have to ask: 'for what reason are we found with anger in our hearts?' Are we angry because our sins/weaknesses have been exposed or are we angry because God's Name is defamed or someone has been treated badly or unfairly? And then comes Vengeance (as you asked): this is one emotion/action that falls into the 'bad' category. Vengeance can never be good as it requires one to commit a wrong to try & correct a (supposed) wrong. "Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord." Romans 12:19. This is one emotion/action that we have to withdraw from as only God can deal properly with the perpetrator of the wrong.
So David's emotion of Obedience & Anger would be justified, if his only desire was obedience to God & having the same emotion as God had towards idolators or the enemy. And Jesus' venting of Love or Anger too, can be seen for His Love for the Father, being in one Mind with Him, & angered at the abuse of the Temple of worship & prayer - yet He loved the people.
1. Genesis 3:3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden,
does this mean tree of life and tree of the knowledge of good and evil are the same?
2. Genesis 3:5 and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
how to understand "gods" here?

It humbles me, and gives me joy, that you would like to hear a bit about my life changing experience with the Lord. As we are all Blessed with our Testimonies in how the Lord came in our lives. I enjoyed hearing a little about how you came to the Lord as you replied with some info to someone. As now nothing really matters to me more than God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.
Here is a post to my Testimony on this page. Link
Please do not take offense to the thing that led me to the Lord as I know it can cause division in the Body of Christ and I don't want that. As I stated it is not really that important to us who believe and are already with the Lord. We should all focus on Him and His Will. Amen.
God Bless.

"Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God" Psalms 90:2 This verse shows us that God has no beginning nor ending.
The fact that souls continually reach out to God with a desire to be in harmony with its maker is also a wonder. Psalms 42:1-2 says "As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so my soul after thee, O God. My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God? There seems to be in mankind an awareness of a greater power than is found in humanity or even our very selves. The soul must be set free in this awareness by the knowledge of the True God or it may find itself lost in idolatry.
Exodus 3:4 is where Moses wanted to know the name of God and God answered him saying, "I Am That I Am". God's existence is in Himself.
For our meditation.

Isaiah 43:13 (KJV) Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?
Psalms 90:2 (KJV) Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
I was interpreting a natal horoscope to a Methodist (on Yom Kippur); when the Lord appeared in a vision! I was in shock with conviction. I got my 25lb tv Bible and started reading all verses about stars, astrology, the death penalty for doing those things. I confessed I deserve to die.
Then I saw a vision of hell in the floor. Dense, dark, twisting roots, screaming; vile, unclean, loathsome! I stood on a chair.
I sensed a Hand being held out to me, from the ceiling. I could not see it, but I was convinced it was there. I reached up and closed my fingers.
I fell into the floor but hell had disappeared. I was delivered from who knows how many demons. If you serve satan knowingly or even unknowingly, you are in-dwelt and oppressed. I passed out.
I woke up, day 1 with the Holy Spirit. Everything looked the same, but I knew it was different. I cleaned "house" all day of everything occult. I filled a 35 gallon trash can with occult books, encyclopedic, planet and star charts.
I dragged it all into the garage. I didn't know I needed a witness. 2 days later the Methodist came back. I told what happened: I was saved. We rejoiced. I drag the stuff out to the patio; with charcoal lighter and matches. It was a metal can, I lit it up. No one called the fire dept on me.
ACTS 19:19. The Holy Spirit was helping me walk out the New Birth. Earlier that day I poured out booze, flushed lots of pills I was sorta planning my suicide with, pot, cigarettes.
Next day I sat on the sofa waiting for the DT's to kill me. Got sleepy went to bed. Next day, same thing. Third evening I realized I had been delivered from detox and withdrawal. Talk about joy and happiness!! I was going to live and declare the Greatness of Jesus Christ all the days of my remaining life.
And here I am, born again, blood washed, over-coming child of the Most High God. Holy Spirit filled and educated. Choose Jesus Today.
Romans 13:4
For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
Romans
Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
2 Corinthians 12:20
For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults:
Galatians 5:20
Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
Ephesians 2:3
Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
Ephesians 4:26
Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
Ephesians 4:31
Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
Teenagers might enjoy the NIV or New King James Bible.
The Living Bible is paraphrased so it's more like reading a story.
Most serious students of the Bible prefer the King James Version because it has less diversion from the original languages.
For studying try a KJV Reference Bible. I prefer those that have the reference notes in center of each page columns.
This website has a super fast SEARCH BOX. Say like you want to look up all verses in the Bible about "CAUGHT UP IN THE CLOUDS", or as others say Rapture, the search engine will fetch all of those verses. You can pare down the list by clicking Old Testament or just the New Testament.
You can sort the verses in Bible order
If you want to read Commentary on your verse, touch or click the verse; it will highlight yellow. Scroll down till you see your Commentary.
Hope this helps.
God Bless you in that healing stream till the race is over.

Just to give a reply as brother Adam already expanded much about this subject. As I stated first that I can only speak for myself on this matter. Although I will never tell anyone I think they should get this "shot". Even as you gave the list of all those other sicknesses, which don't scare me either, this is totally different. From hearing numerous learned people in the medical field about this "vaccine". The main thing I don't like is how it is to change our DNA. That is bad. Also that they have actually been testing this "vaccine" in labs since the early 2000's. Though it has never made it past animal testing due to side effects and death. They didn't just come up with it, make it, in a couple months.
The only way it was past to be used, on people, was from some "emergency bill" or something. As I myself know people who have taken the "vaccine". It is sad to say but you can never go back after you take this shot. As again it changes your DNA as I'm not able to get too detailed about that but the information is out there. They even say it.
I suffered with epilepsy "seizures" for 17 years of my life. No doctor could ever find anything wrong with all the tests done. No medication, for 17 years, ever subsided me from having them. Even praying many times in tears, through the years, to God that He would heal me from this. Though when I gave my life to the Lord and prayed to Jesus Christ if He would heal me. It was in only a couple days He showed me he was healing me. As now I don't take any medication any more and having seizures is in the past. More than a dream come true. A prayer heard and the hand of the Lord healed me. Something no doctor can do. Praise the Lord!!
Please take this post from my heart brother Dan. As I believe we should trust, have faith, in the Lord over any man. If someone wants to get the "vaccine" I will not condemn them. Though if my opinion is asked for I will speak in truth.
God Bless you my brother.
