Can we talk about anger?

#HumbleSpirit
Read the book of Salomon!
Alot about anger and how to react/think, being wise in different situations.

Also Jesus never got angry without a very good reason. He was not out of control of His mind. Au contraire!

Other types of anger is simply a sign of a self conscious mind.
I know!
Let's be less of our self and more like Jesus.
The only remedy to uncomfortable anger is true love.
Understanding God's nature of love is the only true way to live..
Get filled by the holy spirit which is a helper in such matters.
Much better than any psychology or philosophy!
I know from experience.
Shalom my brother! And everyone else!

Training or hobby also good (my personal opinion)

Nothing is wrong with you. I'm simply stating that we as humans are faulty in general and need God.
No complete solution in our thinking, and no real solution in this world in general!

Our desire to be free is found in God only. Everything else is limited or worse.
Be you. But who are you? God only knows and will help you and us to know our purpose in this life on earth!

Freedom is there! Peace is there! Not of this world!
We are not only minds. We are actually Spirits.
What I meant is to be less about our selves and mind conscious and more spirit conscious.
That is what the Bible teaches..
Bible is written to help us!
Shalom!

Good night Quantrill. My head is in the clouds and I have started my nightly prayer and medication. I will check in tomorrow. Enjoy reading the Bible. God wants us to do both, so I will pick up my Bible to tomorrow and start reading. Right now I am reading, "Come be My Light," by Mother Teresa. She is my guardian angel. Like me, she had her "dark night of the soul." I also want to read, St. John of the Cross.

P.S. God does not want me to have "thick skin." He wants me to be an Empath and feel his pain and the pain of others. It is stressful sometimes, but I made a promise to serve God.

Have you read the auto-biography of Madame Guyon. I think you would like it. Also the biography of Watchman Nee.

Watchman Nee wrote quite extensively. And his books are very good. I think you would enjoy them also.

Be careful of another Chinese Christian who joined Nee in his ministry. His name is Witness Lee and he strayed off the path doctrinally. But I recommend all of Watchman Nee's writings.

anger used in lawful protection of others without control from training will get you into trouble


ie if you draw and the asailant ceases and runs but you shot ,whether you are a cop or not you will see court and time .it is not get made and angry like the hulk,and destroy everything

So? So you sound like a boy who has no heart. You believe in a spiritual war and continue to want to confront it with your mind. When spiritual matters are discerned beyond the mind in the heart.

The dog didn't die man. It was one warning shot into the grass in front of him and luckily it gave him the idea to go home instead of attack me and my friend.

You wanting to shoot someone looks bad on you man. Arent you supposed to be led by the Spirit? You're walking in your flesh which is why you talk as you do. We all know now that you're one heck of warrior and nobody better give you any crap or you will kill them. Gotcha. You're good at anger & hatred, I get it.

Have you or would you ever try to ever feel any love towards anyone? Have you learned to love? It doesn't sound like it.

Oh good. You had a gun and a warning shot that scared away the dog. Good for you. Neither you or your friend was hurt. Happy days. You didn't have to shoot or kill anything.

But the dog's nature hasn't changed. He went after you, he will go after another. So, since we like stories, there is an eight year old boy instead walking along. This same dog attacks him like he did you. Poor kid. He doesn't have a gun. He's scared. He runs. The dog just really gets motivated then and attacks and mauls the boy to death.

But no problem. The main thing is you didn't have to kill anything. The issue with the 8 year old boy was his problem, not yours.

I guess I'm good in good company then. I "display" my anger all the time. But as the years go by I display it less often.

No, actually the dog had a brand new chain the next day I noticed. It was very close to my house and wasn't the first time that the dog attacked me. I only had a hot cup of coffee the first time and no gun. I was just going 1 block to my neighbors place. So I made sure to have a gun the 2nd time.

The dog lived in an unfenced duplex and He let the dog out and the dog came straight for us. I know the dog's owner heard the shot. He probably thought I shot his dog. He (had to be) so overjoyed when he found the dog ok and wisely went out and got a chain for his dog. Thereby saving his dog...and your 8 year old that you're going on about, lol.

You didn't save any 8 year old. You left open the possibility of an 8 year old being mauled to death. Because you hesitated and didn't have the guts to do what needed to be done. The dog got lose once, he will get lose again.

If you had killed the dog, you would have prevented any future deaths or maulings. But no, you had to hesitate, and think, and talk your way out of it.

When it hits the fan, I don't want you anywhere near me.

Can you hear what you're saying? You have too much negative energy coming out of your heart and spirit and you should purge these things from your spirit.

Proverbs 18:14-15
14 The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?

15 The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.../

You'd better cultivate your spirit Brother. And if you think that God is a ninny then you don't read the Old Testament enough. Walking in anger, as you do, is outside the spirit in the flesh. You know this is a spiritual war, you said so. So are we to be walking in love and led by the Spirit or not?

Guns are not more god than God is. You still need God within you even if you carry. Anger is not god. God is love and compassion, and this is our walk.

Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. I...can not perceive any love or compassion at all in your posts. You sound like you think I should go shoot all the bad dogs or the childrens blood be upon my hands...(!!). That makes 1 Corinthians 13:1 come to mind. I would find it hard to walk in anger and call myself a christian. If we have not love we have become a a clanging cymbal. This isn't a video game man. Real life is a bit different. We've got two main goals on the street. Survive and don't get locked up. Surviving is the easy part. Jesus took care of that. I'll come visit you in jail.

This is laughable. You really think I talked my way out of it with the dog? Lol. I don't speak dog language. I spoke in a language the dog could understand though. Bang. I had plenty of time to shoot the dog if he didn't turn at the sound of the warning shot. Luckily he did turn off the attack.

You just keep saying, hesitate hesitate. You obviously don't get it. All of that has already been totally thought out and decided upon before any gun is ever strapped on. There's no time to think when an elephant steps into the room. You would know this if you had thought any of this out beyond videogame scenarios.

In the stories you relate, there should have been people shot if not killed. As well as one dead dog.

My Father was an Airborne Ranger and LRRP. I know that he has taken many lives in close combat. It's something he lives with.
You talk about taking lives in such a nonchalant manner, I question your compassion for others.

I am proud of our members who disagree with your point of view, and I am glad your odd man out in these discussions. It gives me hope in humanity.

Wow, can you send me a link to this?
Or is it just in your imagination?
I have an imagination too.
The dog belonged to an eight year old autistic boy that despartly needed this dog for emotional support. One day the boy disobeyed his parents and took the dog for a walk and got lost. Tired, the boy crawled under a bush and fell asleep with the dog watching over him. A man came walking by and the dog over reacted, thinking his human was in danger so he began barking as the man unknowingly came closer to the boy. Feeling threatened by the dog, the man pulled out his gun and killed the dog who by nature, was only trying to protect this eight year old boy. The boy didn't know how to cope, so he stopped talking. The boy is now 16 years old and still hasn't spoken.

See, I've got an imagination too.
