Dear loved ones, brothers and sister and others,I must apologize for my ill temper this past week. I awoke this morning with the realization that I must repent for my bad behavoir toward epouranious, who is my brother in Christ and who I really admire for his abilities to study the Word in real depth... I know that sometime it take a while to get through his posts, but really it is worth the time and effort to do so.. he has much to teach us all.. EPO ... please accept my apology for my horrible behavior. I also owe an apology to Radiofree... you have a right to your opinion and I would fight for your right to disagree with any of us on any subject. I should not have called you names and I apologize to you . Now to you ageeagee... I totally disagree with your attitude , but support your right to assert it. I insinutated you hated women and that was a total assumpsion on my part and you know what that makes me...I not only apologize to you but to all who read these posts and my bad behavior in print... Also to the administrators who had to make decisions and administer the site more closely due to my behavior. I not only apologiize , but it is my intent to repent and reform. I will try to never be the way I was this past week. I will attempt to control my temper and if I am angered by someone, not post it for all to be affected by it. Again to all, I am so sorry, please forgive me and pray for me to do better as that is what I desire in my heart. Sincerely ,Betchevy

Don't worry about it, I have had much more horrible behaviour in my growing experience, and I am not yet full grown. If you don't believe me, just ask me. I am afraid that I speak in a matter of fact type fashion. Do not take that personal, as it is a shortcoming of mine. I am probably hyper verbal, or, in this case, hyper typer. Please forgive me.In Ephesians, the apostle shows us two angles to pray from, one is that you pray for me (or vise versa) that I may open my mouth boldly as I ought, while the other is that I pray for you (or vise versa) The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know.It is revealed of this company that all are of total equality, wherein any of us should be able to teach or receive, as the case may be, thus ~ joint-heirs, a joint-body and joint-partakersThe structure when coming to Ephesians 3:6 is enlightening:A Two Mysteries a Mystery of Christ b Apostles, Prophets (Plural) c THE Mystery d in spirit e Joint heirs e Joint body e Joint partakers d In Christ b Paul alone a Unsearchable riches of Christ"In spirit" corresponds with "In Christ" and indicates the sphere in which this new relationship "fellow-heirs" operates. This new relationship is threefold,Sunkleronoma Sussoma Summetocha
You know what they say, religion and politics, lol. The question does arise, can one get angry and sin not? Eph 4:29 - 32 seems to indicate that we cannot. Note too, that chpts 4-6 in Ephesians is the practice section, while 1-3 are the chpts of instruction.
God made each of us individuals none like the other each with different fingerprints and dna and we are all precious to Him. I disagree, I have a right to be angry when it is approriate. I do not have the right to be unkind... I can be honest and not be unkind. I am really tired of being one upped and told how to intepret scripture as if there is only one way or choice.
To be angry is not to sin. Man was created in the image of God as Genesis 1 tells us. There are countless examples in the Bible where God gets angry and He is righteous in all ways. Jesus was angry as he went into the temple; a lot of people try to water that episode down but it's clear that he did not go into the temple on that day in a sickly and timid manner. Matthew 5:22 sums it up as well: But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
I only said it SEEMS to indicate that. Maybe the vv. I referenced say anger is a good thing, but I missed that part, obviously. For some reason I thought the verses were speaking about human anger, our anger, not His own righteous indignation.
