Absolutely.
Read what the Bible says about love.
Love is indeed patient. Kind. Understanding . Doesn’t hold things against us.
But what else does it say ?
It says love is slow to anger.
It doesn’t say love doesn’t anger.
If you are love and you suddenly enter this world and it’s the opposite of what you stand for and it only sows hatred and deceit, don’t you think you would be angry ?
It’s how we channel the anger so to speak that makes us children of God.
Some people when they get angry they get violent .
This is not the way. Jesus says multiple times in the gospels to pray for our enemies. And bless those who curse us.
And yes we must turn the other cheek.
Jesus says what does it matter what man can do to the body. Worry about what the devil can do to the soul in hell.
Our eternity matters. Not this temporal world.
So yes your allowed to get angry. Just don’t let it consume you. Don’t let it dictate your choices. We have a choice every second of every day. Do we choose life or death. Choose life. Choose Jesus. As another poster said in a different thread put every thought into the captivity of Christ.
Also Jesus says if we show mercy to others, that’s what will be shown to us.
And trust me, everyone needs as much mercy as possible.
You might ask me to post scripture passages but I feel like we are old enough and have read the Bible enough to know what I’m talking about in this thread .
Thank you.
