Where have I said anything about any other religion ? Really important to try and keep things in context when trying to have a discussion, don't you think ?
It's in the title of the thread you started.

How an individual chooses to live is NOT A particular religion. I am sure you live your life slightly differently than do others of your particular faith/belief system. More about those of faith in general, has nothing to do with a particular religion.

....and here I thought the Apostle Paul said "do not let the sun go down on your anger." Was Paul wrong?
Hmmmm....... look it up (including expanded Greek) and see what is written.....

Yahweh is the source of all Yahshua did and said,
and Yahshua trained and taught the Apostle Paul,
and Yahweh's Word and the testimonies of Yahshua
and of all the messengers Yahweh called and chose and inspired / breathed
His Word thru
confirms Paul is in agreement , in perfect harmony, with all Scripture.

And yet you speak of "other religions" in the title of your thread. But as for "choosing to live", we chose to live based upon our "particular religion", namely Biblical Christianity. And included in that is to tell those of other religions that to be saved they must abandon their belief and embrace faith in Christ.

Consider the idol worshippers of Athens:

Acts 17:
23 as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO AN UNKNOWN GOD. Now what you worship as something unknown I am going to proclaim to you.
24 "The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands.
25 And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything, because he himself gives all men life and breath and everything else.
26 From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live.
27 God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.
28 ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’
29 "Therefore since we are God’s offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone— an image made by man’s design and skill.
30 In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent.
31 For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to all men by raising him from the dead."

Where in the New Testament does it say anything about how Christians 'should' go about expressing their vigilant anger continuously, even toward other Christians?

And this too.

James 1:20 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
20 for the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God.

Look it up. Not "toward other Christians" though,
and not even toward our enemies, no.

Not even "their vigilant anger".... see ? Remember man's anger does not work the righteousness of Yahweh....

Somewhere (or more than one place) it is written to have righteous indignation , not unrighteous, and not of the flesh, and not carnal,
but righteous anger - as "be angry as Yahweh is angry" His Judgment, not man's judgment....

and as always, our battle is not with flesh and blood.... not as if with what the eye can see nor what the ear (physical eye or physical ear) can hear, but with and in the invisible, in spirit, as Yahweh is and says and does.

....it would be MUCH better if you'd demonstrate that these "translations," particularly that of Wuest, in all actuality bear out contextually in the Greek texts. If they do, then I'm confident that you should be able to find many other Greek scholars who are in agreement with Wuest.

I would think you'd also find other Scriptures that correlate with Ephesians 4:26.

There were many scholars of Greek that agree with Wuest's accuracy in the Expanded Greek Translation, fwiw.

More importantly, the Spirit of Yahweh agrees with Wuest's accuracy in the Expanded Translation of the New Testament and in His 3 volume Word Studies.

It is all perfectly in Harmony with all Scripture - and apparently quite foreign to you from your remarks.

And who are all of these various Greek scholars? Surely by the very act of telling me that they exist, I can then assume that you can produce a long list of names for us, right? I mean, I know you wouldn't just say something is true without being able to support your assertion, correct?

3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Scripturally speaking, those in another religion (islam, hinduism, etc) are NOT my brother.

Luke 10:29-37 King James Version (KJV)

29 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?

30 And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.

33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,

34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.

36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?

37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

Neighbor - NOT brother.

Do you find "brother" in that text anywhere???

Are you speaking to the cfyahoo08 or someone else?
