You are right. We need to rightly handle all of our emotions when they spring up. But anger in itself can be sinful if we are triggered to be angry over something we should not be angry about. Our anger should be righteous anger as the Lord's was and is. He felt anger over what He should be angry about. But if anger rises up in us over something the dog broke while running through the house, then that anger itself is not righteous and therefore sinful. It comes from our sinful nature and we could have reacted differently to the breakage by the influence of the Holy Spirit.
So, while we are to keep our anger in check so that we do not sin only if it is righteous anger. But anger that is unrighteous we are to also keep in check so as to not sin further.
I think it is easy to explain away the wickedness of our emotions fueled by our sinful flesh by believing that our feelings are somehow morally neutral. I don't believe that is so. Our emotions as God gave them to us are indeed good, but as ALL of our righteous deeds are as filthy rags tainted by sin, so are our emotional responses to things that stimulate a response. Not all stimuli warrant the response of our persons. Not every emotion is good when expressed. The depth of our sinfulness we truly cannot know and if the Lord tells us to not sin in our anger He knows even our emotions are tainted by the sinful nature. But when we walk by the Spirit then we develop self-control as a fruit of this walk and can be better in control of our emotions and can keep emotions from rising up in us that once when we were not controlled by the Spirit we would have felt in a sinful way.
Where does one draw the line in the saying, "well I can't help am not responsible) feeling this way because I am only human" as an out to excuse sin? The OT system even had a sin offering for sins of ignorance or not intentional. What sins are these? We sin and we do not know we do or we sin and we didn't really intend to. -- Romans 7.
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: WHO CAN KNOW IT?
Sometimes just because it felt right doesn't mean it was right, or spirit led.
Look at Peter in Matthew 16:22-24.
Peter never knew what get behind Christ meant until the filling of the Holyspirit.
Afterwards Peter ministered boldly the rest of his life knowing his fate.
"He would die".
I believe God gave his Church ministers Teachers, Preachers, ect and instructions by Paul how to function for orderly conduct.
And I believe that's whenever, wherever and however we meet.
I so called spiritually and Holy conduct shouldn't turn up a few notches upon entering the Church buildings.
We are a called out people who should carry out our orderly and organized conduct to a visual and conflicting world.
Christ was the head of the Church and even though he came to gather the lost sheep of Israel, he conducted himself the same way outside of Jerusalem as he did inside Jerusalem.
If we stay behind Christ and his word we will be Spirit led and when we get off course it's the Spirit that will correct us.
I believe it's how you respond to this anger is what makes it sinful.
One can be right in what he say to another but yet commit sin in saying it because their intentions was meant to hurt.
However I'm not saying that whatever is said is truth.
Be careful and see if our actions is meant to hurt or not.
Also we should consider
Matthew 5:22.
God bless.
