Anger's a sin

Anger is sin. Sin is evil. It's like giving a foothold to the devil. Romans 12:19 - Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord.

Being angry is a sin. We should never let the sun go down on our anger. Being angry is punishing yourself for someone else's mistakes.

I've never felt so angry in my life before. So much rage. I've heard that one can be so angry that you will shake with anger. I thought it only happens in comic books or cartoons. Well, it is actually possible to shake with anger.

I sinned a lot tonight. I cursed non-stop. I committed murder in my mind. More than once. And many more crimes. I have such a deceitful heart. I said things I wished I can take back. Who says things like "from today onwards, if you still give them money, I will not call you my father". I've always know that I do not have the purest of heart, but I didn't know I was capable of such cruelty. So much of the flesh in play.

Another thing that baffles me is I've never seen such a cruel Christian and immature elder person in my 24 years of life. Baffled, yet amazed. That a person will go so far to hurt, break and destroy. As much as I'm angry, I'm also ashamed that she's a Christian and we share the same faith. Well, different Christians sinned differently, so I should not be judgemental. Moreover, I don't want to be carrying the air of holier than thou.

I'll take it that I paid 600 bucks for this lesson on how to be the better person. But we know, the cost is much more than just 600 bucks. It's the burning of bridges, the ending of family ties, and the knowledge that you are related to poison. You hate yourself a bit because you have poison running through your blood.

But still, anger is sin. Sin is evil. It's like giving a foothold to the devil. Romans 12:19 - Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord.
