I suppose there comes a time when we should just know better.

I'd rather err on the side of mercy, although, there are times when God says, "Enough."

It makes me think that we should be so diligent to guard our hearts. God is judging our hearts, not so much our actions..... Man looks on the outside but, God judges the heart.

Don't let a root of bitterness be in our heart. Don't stumble over anger. We can be angry but, sin not.

Emotions can be great motivators. I can get a lot more done if I'm excited about what I'm doing verses bored and tired.

When I feel angry, I'm motivated to change the circumstance but, I need to do it without sinning.

I understand!. The emotions we have are powerful and we always have to be aware of the consequences of them!
Even Jesus was angry at what they were doing in His Fathers house!

So, this verse of Paul's would apply to what you are saying.... :unsure:

1 Timothy 1:13 King James Version (KJV)
13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

Paul did it ignorantly in unbelief. God could see Paul's heart and was able to show mercy because Paul was not doing evil knowingly.

Paul received mercy for what exactly? And the words of Elijah, John, Jesus, Paul, Isaiah, Jeremiah and on and on cuts zero slack for those that lead people to hell by false doctrine.....tragically, and I say this with with no animosity, anger, bitterness or anything negative towards you or your character because I do consider you a sister in Christ, but I must say that one day soon you will have to chose to stand with Jesus or coddle false teachers for the sake of unity under a banner of fraudulent love............and JUST BECAUSE I LAY INTO those that devalue Jesus by doctrine does not mean that I have no mercy, hate them, desipise them..........

What are your thoughts on what exactly Paul received mercy for? :unsure:

For the record, I never said you had no mercy, hated or despised anyone.

True but, oftentimes, we get angry for the wrong reasons. Then, I have to go back and say I'm sorry. lol! :giggle:
