Look, state your points without name-calling and insulting others. It really just discredits you all around, and eventually you'll either end up banned or no one will talk to you anyway.

Look, I don't care.

People get mad, Jesus got mad. We make mistakes and people say stuff that should be taken back. I don't take back what I say because I am a real person and I don't play games like that.

Which is worse, to attempt to accuse one of sinning and judging or getting mad?

You basically said I was mad and sinned. I don't see a scripture in the Bible stating anger or frustration is a sin, nor I do I see it describing calling someone actions a sin. I did call him a punk but when did that actually become a valid name to call someone?

The others were descriptions of actions not name calling.

Please back up take a breath and examine what you are doing before you act like that.

That isn't a game, gustav. That's called humility. If you're out of line, be big enough to say you're sorry and don't do it again.

1. I didn't accuse you of sinning.
2. You asked for scripture, and I provided it. "Be angry and sin not."

Alrighty then.

Back up? Take a breath? LOL!!! Are you under the impression that I am out of breath? Or even slightly bothered?

Of course I've lost my temper before. And I had to [wo]man up and apologize for it. Feeling anger is not a sin. It's how you act on it that matters.

But, hey, I've put in my 2 cents. You're not required to listen, are you? It's a free country. (But not necessarily a Free Forum)

This is the kind of erroneous conclusions people can fall into when they find a Greek word that is related to a modern day word (even if the original word has multiple meaning in different contexts)... and then try to apply one of the meanings of the original word to the modern day usage of the related modern-day word... and then try to create a link between the 2 very different word meanings (old and modern) by using the word linkage as a bridge between the two totally unrelated meanings.

Not only is it a terribly unsound practice, but that kind of exegesis can provide, and has provided in some cases, an undergirding [and badly flawed] foundation for some of the worst false doctrines we have today.

Right. Etymology 101.
