Subject: Anger Management Author: Yeager [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 06:42:14 04/25/02 Thu AK: Good point on separating out lust and then the insight on Anger. I know Tim already hit up anger and I think that you are right that some anger is good; let's call it righteous anger. Then some anger is bad, say toward a neighbor; let's call that resentment. Maybe the rest of you have some further thoughts to other good and bad anger. I was thinking too about your friends that said that they were experiencing some anxiety. I too, get sick and tired of people telling me to "get over it" or "think happy thoughts" or "to change my attitude". I believe it is impossible for ME to change my attitude or to get better; almost piggybacking off of Shrieve's previous commentary that we are, to use the analogy, in the hospital bed on a respirator. In other words, I don't think we have the ability to save ourselves from anything on our own. Yet, I still think about PHIL 4:6 that says, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. I have wondered recently if this anxiety and struggle is an oppression from the enemy, according to Ephesians 6:12. Because these thoughts on anxiety seem to somewhat differ from what the Bible says on love for instance in Rom 8:39. Yeager [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
