Why Do Some Christians Get Angry

[IAMABELIEVER1979]

I am not saying that all Christians get angry. But a lot of Christians seem to be angry when they preach against sin. I have dealt with angry Christians. If I reject God and chose to live a lifestyle of sin, why would that bother some Christians? It doesn't affect their lives. (Now just to let you know, I do not want to live lifestyle of sin. And I do not want to reject God. I am here because I want to persue God and follow Christ. I am just trying to understand Christians).

I mean, they go out of their way to preach against sin, even though they know the world is going to hate them. I don't get it. Wouldn't it be easier to keep their beliefs to yourself and stay at home and pray? But they seem to be fighting with the rest of the world.

They world has called them self-righteous and arrogant. They have heard it all. And yet, they continue to preach. And they continue to tell people they are doing wrong. And yes, they seem angry to me.

That makes me angry to hear that.

You what?? How could you insult the God who sacrificed His own Son for you. Yes you! Who died for your sins! Yes your sins! I'm taking this personally, even if no one else is! It makes me so mad I want to, I want to ...... bash a Bible!!

Well... lets see how I can help you out here, just you said a lot in a few words.


First of all a christian is christ like and what did JESUS come for? To free us from sin. As we see in acts in the city of aninoch they were called christians, some say it was simply as a joke but I beg to differ becuase later a guy comes up to them calling them christians saying they were so like christ, it was like christ was all over them.



So yeah those that don't want people to preach against sin are not christians. A christian isn't just a believer but a christ like individual. I'm not judging i'm just going based off the bible and multiple times it says let this mind that is in chrsit be in you and put on christ and such, and christ taught against sin so.



I mean, they go out of their way to preach against sin, even though they know the world is going to hate them. I don't get it. Wouldn't it be easier to keep their beliefs to yourself and stay at home and pray? But they seem to be fighting with the rest of the world.

My Response: JESUS was hated for teaching against things as well it's supposed to be that way. The bible says he was in the world and the world knew him not. The bible say the world is not of god. Sure it would be easier to stay at home and pray but that doesn't save souls. The bible says preach the gospel to every creature.

Now your last statement is referring to two types of christians.. teh ones I told you about who are not by definition christians and the ones who are. The ones who are preach anyway against sin becuase they want to free others from sin as JESUS came to do, but the ones who are angry are some of those that reject this teaching yet say they are christians.




I hope I helped some any questions just ask.

I think they're afraid... And they tend to associate sin when they hear it, with the Devil or Satan, and when they think of sin, they think of him and all manner of evil and sin that he represents, and it triggers their fight or flight response, like fear tends to do... And, most pick "fight" and pride, rather than humbleness, humility taught by the flight response to fear, which is Godly fear...

When I hear the word rapist or child-molestor, I do this, or used to do this... And, I want to get angry along with the person who is expressing anger about it, that also scares me, (anger does also... also scares me)... But, I had to come to the realization, that there's nothing I can do about it, and not much these other people getting angry about it can do about it either...

I'm not a politician or well known figure or person who might be able to influence and change the laws, and it does me very little good to get upset over something I can do little to nothing about... And, With no outlet for that anger, and not being able to use that anger to do anything good or better about it, It's just going to make make me into an angry person who is bottling up anger with nothing that can be done about it...

And, that bottled up anger is going to have to come out and be expressed in some kind of way eventually, and usually on, in, and with other people who probably don't deserve an outburst, out-of-control moment of anger from me that is not their fault and has little to nothing to do with them... I've had to say "there's nothing I can do about that" and ignore it, walk away, or move on, cause it's not healthy for me otherwise...

Bottling up anger especially about things I can do little to nothing about, is just going to interfere in very negative ways in my ability to love... So, I don't fret the small stuff, and ignore, walk away or move on, from the big stuff I can do little to nothing about, and pick and choose my battles very carefully...

God Bless!

Personally I'm quite sinless and rather enjoy harassing sinful types who choose to disrespect me. Sorry, I mean disrespect God.

I think it has more to do with the person than the religion. I would bet that those particular people act that way about other things, as well.

 

[Godlovesmetwo]

act that way about other things, as well.

Good point!

Self-righteous, and by disrespecting you, disrespect God huh? Holier than thou? Does the truth that I've said disrespect you? Lack of compassion and love for sinners? Who's the "sinners" to you? Does it agree with Jesus view? Why or how or perhaps you have always been quite sinless, or not?

So, for you, you "get-off" tormenting, who you call and think the sinners are...? What qualifies you to be his? For me, it's being washed in the blood... But, I highly doubt you even know what that means if you've always been quite sinless... He who has sinned little, loves little... How do you know it was up to you, or by you or your own doing that you are "quite sinless" except by the mercy of God? If I was you, I'd humble myself right now...

God Bless!

 

[Godlovesmetwo]

He who has sinned little, loves little

My sins are almost zero and my heart is so full of love, it is about to burst!

 

[Winken]

be bold and brave enough to use yourself as the example and share your testimony of how you got through to help, otherwise, shut the f up about it, cause you know nothing...

If you know not these things, nor have any experience with these things, then your still a babe in Christ and need to listen a hell of a lot more than you speak, and shut the f up for awhile,

Some of your posts are troubling. This one is an example.

 

[Neogaia777]

Yeah, I can tell by your responses... And how you say what you like and enjoy doing to other sinners "unlike" you... If you've failed in one thing, even once, you are guilty of them all, and no better than anyone else... For it is all equal disobedience in God's eyes, and we deserve nothing but the worst kind of hell we could ever imagine for that... Which you and I and everyone is equally guilty of... Were all here by the mercy and love of God alone, when you realize that/this that I've just said, then will you be truly "full of (real) love" that is about to burst, not until then...

Have your sins always been "almost zero"? And, If you want to compare, (which I don't like to) I'll bet you my sins (now) are closer to zero than yours are, by far, for there are many sins you are doing, that I don't even think your aware of, your attitude towards other sinners, unlike you, attests to that...

Pride is oozing from your responses and you stink of it's stench...

The Pharisees thought they were "quite sinless" and there sins were "almost zero", or were zero too, the fact that you are comparing it, stinks of the stench of the sin of pride and ego... Just like the Pharisees...

God Bless!

I don't like Pharisees...

See, I can read your posts and still have no ill-will towards you. I hope you can express all your anger on here and not get in trouble for it with moderators.

Nor sarcasm, it seems.

I do have trouble with humor... Did he really mean to be humorous...?

Crap, If he did, I sincerely apologize very much so...

God Bless!

I usually only get angry with the self-righteous, that's a weakness for me... Did you mean to be humorous...?

If you did I sincerely, truly and deeply apologize...

So sorry...

God Bless!

Well they talk about it because we are suppose to. If people don't know they are sin, how will they turn to the Lord and get saved? Unless you mean why are some literally angry when they talk about it like "YOU HEATHEN! Your a selfish glutton and will burn in hell!!!". If your referring to that, then yes they shouldn't be doing that. We are suppose to spread our message WITH love, not with anger.

I think many times, pride is at the root of it, if they happen to see themselves as being free from sin. Or a kind of invented pride ... some people may use the tactic of focusing on the sins of others so that they feel better about their own sins by comparison? Some have simply been taught to preach in this way (it's a very popular "formula" - but one I strongly disagree with, as well as the Theology that inspires it). Perhaps other reasons that are not coming to mind?

I'm just trying to think of some possibilities. See, if I have someone in mind and tell you why they are doing it, then I'm pretending I know more about their heart than I possibly can, and becoming just as guilty.

But, while we want to avoid evil, and it is better for us, and for others, not to commit evil acts, and that has some virtue ...

It is not the business of the Church to condemn the world. And there really is no profit in trying to enforce Christian morality on non-Christians. If they don't have the foundation, some things they will not understand. Others they will recognize without us harping on it. And no one was ever "made a Christian and saved" by someone enforcing morality on them.

There are those who are humble and honest about struggles, and happy to help whoever comes to them with whatever they are seeking help with, content to let God worry about the details with the person. But they do seem to be rather rare.

Paul, my brother. I know you are my brother.

I'm not sure what your posts here mean? Unless you have some history with the OP I am not aware of?

I fear your point may be lost on whoever you are making it for. Just letting you know, because it's lost on me. I'm not sure why you are posting in this way.

Forgive me. God be with you.
