So what I got is that it says in the Bible that if we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness so we're expected to confess our sins to God for our sins to be forgiven so when Jesus was on the cross he was the Lord but in the flesh so he as...

I think that understanding that everyone comes from somewhere where they sin in one way or another helps to dissolve the anger but it's still understandable to have quite a lot of resentment in certain things but as long as you're peaceful about it and don't take it out as if it's the whole...

Oh no! I don't know what you mean actually.. lol
