But then you have the Christian aspect of being inherently sinful. Can we have righteous anger when we are commanded not to anger?


I'm not sure I understand. I just contest all anger being Inherently "bad". Anger is a positive or Negative Emotion based on the ACTIONS taken as a result of the Emotion.

Constructive or Destructive.
 
     
 
Also in Christianity Sex is almost always a way for pleasure but a way to reproduce, you shouldn't have sex for only pleasure and homosexual sex and only cause pleasue and never reproduction.

I disagree. It is Entirely possible to be angry and still love. My father Grows angry with me, but at no point does he stop loving me.

But what about Ephesians 4:31-32?
(I think that's the verse Marshal was referring to)
What do you make of that?


That doesn't say "Don't ever get angry..."

The way I read that, it seemed to state that "Do not take these emotions with out an equal portion of Forgiveness"

I'm not saying your a bad person and I do hope that you can find happiness in the path you've takin.


I thank you for the sentiment.

And while we may be on opposite sides, you have my respect for at least acknowledging the work that went into thread without getting bitchy. I am a fan of 1 Cor 13:4-8, which is agape love--and (ignoring the horrendous appeal to tradition, sorry guys I have to say this) considering it's used at weddings, I see no reason why it can't apply to gays as well.

Do you have Biblical verses stating that sex should only be for procreation?

James 1:20

We have this too. The verse I am refering to, I am having trouble finding. I will post it when I do.

But still, there seems to be a lot more Biblical support for angre being bad than good.
 
     
There is no such thing as a bad Christian.

But then, what of Christ's anger? I can see the temple being righteous anger, but the fig tree? I think he was genuinely pissed off.

"Let all anger be put away from you"
"Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, (E)just as God in Christ also has forgiven [a]you."

The way I read it, it seemed to say, put away anger, and instead be tender-hearted. I think that "put away anger" is just another way of saying "do not anger", because when you put anger way, you're not being angry.

Same goes for infertile heterosexuals. Point? None. God never commanded reproduction and nobody said homosexuals couldn't TRY to reproduce. Nobody's saying they'll succeed but it's the thought that counts remember.

James 1:19 Disagrees with you...at least about "Never ever get angry"

19 *This you know, my beloved brethren But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger;

*or "Know this, "

and to put away anger, you would have to Have it first. So My reading goes some thing like thus:

When you DO get angry, remember not to be angry for anger's sake but to take up as much forgiveness as anger, if not more.

^_^ That's quite alright. I'm glad you admit that you are somewhat lacking in the sources for now, and I will gladly wait until you're prepared. Remember, this is as much of a teaching for me as it is for others. If you find something I've missed, then I'm the better for it.

That doesn't disagree with Marshal's thought, it actually enforces it.
We should be slow to anger because the anger of man does not achieve the rigtheousness of God.
I think that "slow to anger", with the context of this passage, means, to try and not get angry.
 
     

Sound is back!
I want to get into debate again, but I have a really busy life, so I don't know if I'll be as active as I'd like. If I take awhile to respond, don't automatically take that as me conceeding.
