Did the lord jesus christ ever express anger ?

yea hes bible says god is Angry every day

Psa 7:11 KJV 11 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.

Yes. He was angry at the money changers in the temple

He was angry at the Pharisees, Sadducees, and Scribes on many occasions.

Gigi Him and the religious leaders at the time really didn't see eye to eye at all! Sometimes nothing has changed.

Rick

I realize that the Jewish religious leaders were at odds with Jesus and still oppose Jim because they are not born again.

But, as for Christisn pastors and leaders, I think that most are approved of God in their work having Ben called by rheHily Spirit. They are born again , so they are not tone categorized with Jewish leaders.

W should have brotherly love and affection for everyone God has saved. So, for me, I recognize that these pastors and leaders have a solemn calling and a more serious accountability to God for their

service. I do not look down on them not dismiss the work they do. Rather, I pray for them and support their work.

Granted, there are false teachers and leaders along with reprobate ones. We are to expose them as enemies of Christ. But I do believe those who rightly discharge their office are far more abundant than the ones who disgrace it.

I am not one to follow any leader, pastor or evangelist like a groupie, we should guard against that. But I honor my pastor. We speak honestly with each other and he cares for the members well. There are some Christian writers that I like to read because they explain things well.

We all can learn from each other, whether from people currently alive or from those who are gone but their writings remain for us to examine against Scripture.

Do, I do not put myself in the bandwagon that speaks I'll of Christian leaders. We judge people by their fruits not by their titles, offices, or lack thereof.

Gigi The original reply was in the context of first comment, and yes by there fruit ye shall know them.

Gigi In case my last comment wasn't clear I do not believe christianity is a religion, religion is what man works

out in the flesh to get closer to God,Christianity is what God accomplished for us through Jesus Christ. So I'm not

saying all in that statement but in some cases just because the label says apples on the outside doesn't mean there's apples on the inside.

Rick

I guess I do not agree with how you defined things here.

I think Christianity is the one true religion and all others are false religions.

But I understand your sentiment. I just don't have any angst over the word.

Gigi One of my favorite attention getters was always when someone ask me whats my religion and my reply

was I'm christian and that's the way of Gods love for His family and always a fun conversation going especially

if I was talking to someone who had a family. Just sharing some heart later.

Gigi Its all good like i said before I just share and move on and endeavor to inspire and bless.

Christ man , Christian !! Yes , I most certainly concur !! For Christianity is NOT a religion, it's a reality,.. every one grab a paddle, an jump on in ,.. an join the many memberd body

I meant "neutral"

I understand what you and Rick are saying.

However, if I met someone and they asked

Me what my religion was, I would say Christian , as many Chrisyians would.

I do not wish to argue the semantics or mental gymnastics of this concept. For me, the Christisn faith s the one and only true religion.

I do not think that religion is a dirty word nor a negative

concept. It is a Neural word that describes spiritual belief.

Gigi One question what was Jesus Christ religion and no that's not a trick question,not asking you anything I

haven't thought about honestly and its not a mental debate.

Gigi That statement didn't apply to all religious leaders and I DO NOT BELIEVE Christianity is a

religion, Christianity is God working on man religion is man trying to work his way ro be godly!

Good morning Rick

I understand what you are saying.

AAron Absolutely especially situations where corrupt religious leaders walking in hypocrisy and judgement

were using scripture for accusation and condemnation. Mark 3:1-6 is one specific situation, can you imagine what

he must have looked like!
