Anger is a sign of undisciplined mind.
It can be. But so can passivity. Spiritual growth begins with understanding the necessity of both emotions, and being able to apply these emotions to the appropriate situations.

Action without anger can be just, and I think that is what you are talking about.
I was actually referring to righteous anger.
***Why not, my friend...you are a sinner in need of salvation...and, as a Christian, it is my duty and honor to minister to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.yeah the real arrogance of these christians, problem is that the will of your fantasy saviour aint the will of sane people
Anger is a sign of undisciplined mind.yeah I would see the ones who really can controll anger, not think they can and make others to bleieve they can but really can.....and that would sum up to no one.............

Yeah, but you seem to turn more people off to Christianity rather than invite us into it.
You try to convert us by means of fear, almost on the verge of a threat....no one is going to respond to that.
We've heard the story of salvation and hell a million times....there are REASONS why we don't beleive.
Try harder 👇

Don't worry, I'm not mean to you because you believe in reincarnation.
Reincarnation actually makes more sense than Heaven and Hell...
And technically, Buddhists do not beleive in Reincarnation...they beleive in Samsara....the cycle of birth and re birth.
Reincarnation requires a soul, and implies that the individual becomes another individual.
Samsara is simply new life.
I wrote a whole thread about this, until it was moved to the Philosophy Forum.....

***Dear Fatima:NONE of your questions are "silly questions!"...they are questions that come from your heart and they get right to the "core" of what we are talking about. Fatima...you are a very insightful and intelligent woman...and I am not saying that to just ingratiate myself to you...for it is obvious to all on this board that you really are...and a sweet Lady in addition to that.
You say that you do not have a Bible. I will buy you one FREE of charge [NO CONDITIONS ATTACHED] if you will email the administrator of this board and have him notify me where to send it...also I will send you a commentary and the bible in the language that you speak [Arabic] if you so desire...and it will be my pleasure to do so. Please Fatima...let me do this as my gift to you.
You asked the following question: ["u mean in simple words that all christins would be forgiven even if their sins were really bad"]...The Lord Jesus Christ will forgive ALL of YOUR sins NO MATTER how great or bad they are...for He views ALL sin EQUALLY...for they ALL lead to the SAME consequence [DEATH]...for it is written: "For the WAGES [that is, something that you have earned] of sin is DEATH; but the GIFT of God is ETERNAL LIFE through Jesus Christ our Lord" [Romans 6:23]. In other words, God does NOT GRADE sin...in His eyes, ALL SIN [big OR small] is EQUAL to the SAME result--->DEATH. But God, in His MERCY towards us, sent His Son Jesus Christ to REDEEM us...to JUSTIFY us in His sight and give us ETERNAL LIFE instead of the DEATH that we justly deserve for our sins against Him...for it is written: "But God commendeth His LOVE toward us, in that, while we were YET SINNERS, Christ DIED for US. Much more then, being NOW JUSTIFIED by HIS BLOOD, we shall be SAVED from WRATH through HIM. For if, when we were enemies, we were RECONCILED to God by the death of His SON, much more, being reconciled, we SHALL be SAVED by His LIFE" [Romans 5:8-10].
When God "justifies" [Romans 5:9] a sinner...it refers to God's GRACIOUS act of declaring a sinner "not guilty" but "righteous" in His sight THROUGH the sinner's FAITH in Jesus' SACRIFICE on the cross. In JUSTIFYING a sinner, God takes ALL of the GUILT of that sinner and credits it to Christ's account...who WILLINGLY died on the cross as the sinner's SUBSTITUTE. And God also takes ALL the righteousness of Jesus Christ, and credits it to the sinner's account. The effect of "justification" is that the JUSTIFIED sinner now stands BEFORE God 100% RIGHTEOUS in His sight---even though he/she is still progressively growing in practical holiness, and may occasionally commit sins at times.
Understood in that sense..."justification" doesn't really change the sinner...rather, it changes the sinner's standing BEFORE God. But having justified the believing sinner, God then progressively "sanctifies" the believer...making him/her increasingly to live like Jesus Christ by the power of the INDWELLING Holy Spirit. ALL sinners that God justifies are also sanctified by Him; but He never sanctifies anyone without having justified them [Romans 8:30].
So yes, my dear Fatima...The Lord Jesus Christ will forgive your sins no matter how big or how small if you trust in His sacrifice on the cross for you...for He said:
"ALL that the Father giveth me shall COME TO ME; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of Him that sent me. And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of ALL which He hath GIVEN ME I should lose NOTHING, but should RAISE IT UP AGAIN at the last DAY. And this is the will of Him that sent ME, that EVERYONE which SEETH the Son, and BELIEVETH on Him, may have EVERLASTING LIFE: and I WILL RAISE HIM UP AT THE LAST DAY" [John 6:37-40].
Your friend,
Marchello
