Anger is not necessarily equated with sin in the Bible. Anger and sin are presented as two different things in Ephesians 4:26-27, where it says, “Be ye angry, and sin not.” Those verses caution that anger can become a sin if acted upon.
So, anger is an emotion, when it is directed to pay back evil for evil, to revenge a wrong done to someone, it is a sin. If it is directed simply to correct, defend ones good and that of others, is it praiseworthy. An example would be when Jesus drove out those money changers in the temple (Mt 21:12).
10. Ephesians 4:31-32. “Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.”
“Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and give no opportunity to the devil” (Eph. 4:26-27). Today we will examine one of the most important passages in Scripture on Christians and anger. The life of Jesus has shown us that being angry, in itself, is not evil.
Raising one's voice when rebuking someone is not a sin, but rebellion is. See 1 Samuel 15:23, “For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft.” You will not find a biblical comparison to loud vocal noises- “shouting is like witchcraft.”
Anger itself is not a sin; there are some things Christians ought to be angry about. God expresses anger (Exodus 4:14). Jesus showed controlled anger in turning over the tables of the tax collectors (John 2:13--17). However, uncontrolled anger quickly leads to doing wrong. Being angry is not an excuse to sin.
No, Christians should not cuss. The Bible makes that unambiguously clear. Rather than being those who try to justify words that even the lost world around us clearly understands to be foul, filthy, and morally-corrupt, Christians should be people whose words are full of grace, wisdom, truth, praise, and thanksgiving.
Anxiety is not inherently sinful. In the same way that there's a doubt that leads to faith and a doubt that leads to faithlessness, there's anxiety that leads to faith and anxiety that leads to faithlessness.
Being overweight may be a health concern, but it has nothing to do with your moral standing before God, especially since weight is not necessarily always linked solely to eating habits.
The Bible also condemns arguing about things that are not worth arguing about, a type of arguing that the Bible sometimes labels “foolish controversies” (1 Tim. 6:4; Titus 3:9). Additionally, the Bible condemns ungodly anger, the type of anger that sometimes leads us to engage in unbiblical arguments (James 1:20).
Sorrow in and of itself is not a sin, in fact is a gift from God and it is a part of our normal creation. It was meant by God to drive us to Himself. So when we face sorrow or when we face losses or when we face sorrow for which there is no cause we have a choice in the way that we are going to respond to that loss.
The Bible, prevalently in the book of Proverbs, categorically defines laziness as a sin. Lack of diligence and idleness depicted in Proverbs 24:30-34 ESV and 19:15 ESV lead to ruin and suffering, respectively. Proverbs 26:15 ESV elucidates the self-destructive nature of laziness.
We cannot simply say that anyone who harms or kills another man is guilty and has committed a sin. It depends on his intentions. Also, we see that using extreme force, or even a weapon, may be appropriate if it is used in a way as to not intentionally inflict permanent damage.
Yelling at your spouse in anger is NEVER a godly thing to do. It is NEVER something that is Spirit-led. PERIOD! Galatians 5:16ff tells us that when we walk in the Spirit we will not fulfill the evil desires of the flesh, but rather the fruit of the Spirit will be produced in us.
The most important thing is to recognize that annoyance-along with many other sinful ailments that we usually do not count as sin-is really a sin. It must disappear from our lives. Once we recognize this, we will rely upon Jesus' redemption and His blood, which contains healing for every sin.
A: It's good that you recognize that the anger is not healthy. Left unchecked, it can someday turn violent and wreck family life. Allowing ourselves to fall into excessive anger can certainly be a mortal sin, so it's good to mention this in confession.
One eternal or unforgivable sin (blasphemy against the Holy Spirit), also known as the sin unto death, is specified in several passages of the Synoptic Gospels, including Mark 3:28–29, Matthew 12:31–32, and Luke 12:10, as well as other New Testament passages including Hebrews 6:4–6, Hebrews 10:26–31, and 1 John 5:16.
So is Getting a Tattoo a Sin? It depends. Revisiting 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 is a great reminder when considering a tattoo: “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price.
The Biblical position on this is clear. The Scriptures do teach that people are born with a predisposition and that it causes an inability to inhibit behavior. The Scriptures, however, attribute both to fallen human nature and its enslaving power, not ADHD!
No. There are no specific verses that say being stressed is a sin. There is hope found in Scripture throughout the Bible (Matthew 11:28 NIV). What a joy to know comfort and peace can be found by going to God in prayer.
Answer: The consensus of theologians has been that the second commandment forbids deliberate misuse of the name of God. Such misuse would be false oaths or using the name of God in a hateful or defiant manner. The context of “Oh my God” makes all the difference.
Swear words as we generally think about them aren't really in the Bible, however there are several instances of people being called snakes and dogs and other various insults that would have had similar connotations.
1 Peter 3:10 tells us that "whoever would love life and see good days must keep their tongue from evil and their lips from deceitful speech." God commands us to keep our tongue from all obscene words, filthy and corrupt communication, lying, swearing, cursing, and any evil speech.
