Sinful anger

six conditions that make anger sinful:

• When, to favor a resentment or feud, we

done to us

• When an injury done to us becomes, in our minds, greater than it really is

• When, without real injury, we feel resentment on account of pain or inconvenience

• When indignation rises too high, and overwhelms our ability to restrain

• When we gratify resentments by causing pain or harm out of revenge

• When we are so perplexed and angry at sin in our own lives that we readily project anger at the sin we find in others.
