re anger paul conditt writes in case you couldn t tell i get extremely angry and upset when i see things like this instead of rationalizing our own fears and phobias we need to be reaching out to people with aids and other socially unacceptable diseases whether they got the disease through their own actions or not is irrelevant they still need jesus aaron bryce cardenas writes the first issue you bring up is your anger it is obvious ly wrong to be angry gal for any reason especially extremely angry which is on par with hatred jesus has every reason to be angry at us for putting him on the cross with our sin yet his prayer was forgive them father they know not what they do i don t know why it is so obvious we are not speaking of acts of the flesh we are just speaking of emotions emotions are not of themselves moral or immoral good or bad emotions just are the first step is not to label his emotion as good or bad or to numb ourselves so that we hide our true feelings it is to accept ourselves as we are as god accepts us it seems that paul s anger he has accepted and channeled it to a plea to all of us to refrain from passing judgement on those afflicted with a disease and to reach out to others give in calling his arguments foolish belittling them to only quarrels avoiding action because of fear to give others a bad feeling he s not forgiving re think it aaron don t be quick to judge he has forgiven those with aids he has dealt with and taken responsibility for his feelings and made appropriate choices for action on such feelings he has not given in to his anger joe moore
