Anger that is NOT Described as Sinful

Anger Mentioned in the Parables (Anger NOT Considered Wrong)

Sinful Anger


The wrath of God and the final judgment

This is not the primary focus in this study, but this concept occurs in the following passages:

Matthew 3:7; Luke 3:7; 21:23; John 3:36; Romans 1:18; 2:5,8; 3:5; 4:15; 5:9; 9:22; 12:19; Ephesians 2:3;. 5:6; Colossians 3:6; 1 Thessalonians 1:10;.2:16; 5:9; Hebrews 3:11; 4:3; Revelation 6:16-17; 11:18; 14:10; 16:19; 19:15

NOTE ABOUT GOD'S ANGER - FROM THE OLD TESTAMENT.:

The Lord is also described as being "slow to anger"  or "not quickly angry" (also translated as "patient" in at least one translation): Exodus 34:6; Numbers 14:18; Nehemiah 9:17; Psalm 86:15; 103:8; 145:8; Joel 2:13; Jonah 4:2; Nahum 1:3. Yet he DID become angry when the people persisted in being stiff-necked and rebellious.

This concept also occurs in the New Testament, but the word "patient" is used, rather than the phrase "slow to anger." See Romans 2:4, 9:22, and 2 Peter 3:9, 15.
