ANGRY PEOPLE

Anger in Proverbs: 

Proverbs 12:16 (CEV)

Losing your temper is foolish; 

ignoring an insult is smart.

Proverbs 14:17 (NCV)

Someone with a quick temper does foolish things,

but someone with understanding remains calm.

Proverbs 14:29 (GW)

A person of great understanding is patient,

but a short temper is the height of stupidity.

NJB 29  Mastery of temper is high proof of intelligence,

Proverbs 15:1 (NKJV)

A soft answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger.

Proverbs 15:18 (NET)

A quick-tempered person stirs up dissension,

but one who is slow to anger calms a quarrel.

Proverbs 16:32 (NKJV)

He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, 

And he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.

Proverbs 19:3 (NIrV)

A man’s own foolish acts destroy his life. 

But his heart is angry with the Lord.

Proverbs 19:11 (GNB)

If you are sensible, you will control your temper. When someone wrongs you, it is a great virtue to ignore it.

cross them and they bite your head off.

A quietly given gift soothes an irritable person;

a heartfelt present cools a hot temper.

Don’t make friends with people who have hot, violent tempers. You might learn their habits and not be able to change. 

Proverbs 29:22 (GNB)

People with quick tempers cause a lot of quarreling and trouble.

Proverbs 3:31–32 (NET)

Do not envy a violent man,

and do not choose to imitate any of his ways;

for one who goes astray is an abomination to the Lord,

but he reveals his intimate counsel to the upright.

Isa 45:24 Angry at God?

Isa 45:24 “SURELY”, shall one say, in the LORD “I HAVE RIGHTEOUSNESS” and strength: even "ALL" those who raged against Him "WILL COME" to Him ashamed of their unbelief – (IN GOD'S SAVING POWER)

This verse is a continuation of where we left off last in Isa. Chapter 45 verse 23 saying “EVERY knee will bow and EVERY tongue confess or give their allegiance to God”. This verse is saying even those “who raged against, or were angry at God will come” which would include the atheist, and agnostics. It is saying there is a “SURE” time coming when even ALL these will say “in the LORD, I HAVE RIGHTEOUSNESS” and will believe, making it possible to be ashamed of their unbelief. It also includes those who had been hurt by the church that condemned them every time they turned around or tried to be honest about their thoughts, lives, habits, and feelings and so; had turned against God in anger and unbelief in His goodness, desire or ability to save sinners like us. Because this unconditional love is not what they had seen in the so called Christians they had known. And they certainly had not seen any “unconditional” love or grace from the supposed leaders of these churches who were apparently perfect in all their ways.....So giving up on such a high standard for acceptance; these turned from church to the world where at least they would be understood and accepted; and could have an honest conversation with someone without fearing being shunned afterwards because of their weaknesses or imperfections.

This self-righteous crew of clergy has brought more condemnation in the hearts and minds of the people, than they have the Grace and Love of God. “God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world but to save the world” Jhn 3:17; Bringing the Love of God and Forgiveness of sins through Christ Jesus. Let the Spirit of God finish the work from the inside; don’t try to do it in the flesh on the outside – this never works and is void of any power. The Spirit of God and Christ on the other hand has all the power of the universe at His disposal. So think again the next time you see someone who has seemingly turned their back on God to the point of disbelieving anything about God at all and living as if they were angry at the world. God here says He has a plan for them also – eventually they will come.

Peace, Grace, and Love to you,
