Anger: What Is It?

How would you define anger? Do you have an anger problem? I do. Of course, that depends on your definition. So, I want a definition.

Doesn't it make you really angry when you ask and good honest question and you just get a blank stare and silence?

well, now that is a good question. I would say that it makes me frustrated and disappointed. Makes me feel like giving up...
Know what I mean?

frusturation is a form of anger...

Glen Zehr said...

perhaps, care to explain...
By the way, why not give your name...ipatn

Glen Zehr said...

By the way, are you saying then that frustation is wrong? That it is sin? Is all anger sin?

Here is a definition from godweb.org


the emotion of instant displeasure on account of something evil that presents itself to our view. In itself it is an original susceptibility of our nature, just as love is, and is not necessarily sinful. It may, however, become sinful when causeless, or excessive, or protracted (Matt. 5:22; Eph. 4:26; Col. 3:8). As ascribed to God, it merely denotes his displeasure with sin and with sinners (Ps. 7:11).

No frustration and anger are not all sin. I LOVE Meredith's defination.. wow very good!
Anger is a God given emotion, it is what we do with that emotion that determines whether it is sin or not.
