Often a skeptic or atheist will mock the Christian by saying something like this:
It says in your holy book, "For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them. But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth." (Colossians 3:6-8). So, it is a sin to be angry, and look your god does it himself. What a hypocrite! He's nothing but a being that hates and kills..."
Well now, is it so?
Some thoughts:
1. God is the Judge.
"Let them worship the LORD! He is coming to judge everyone on the earth, and he will be honest and fair," (Psalms 98:9).
2. God wrote the rules.
"When God had finished speaking to Moses on Mount Sinai, he gave him the two flat stones on which he had written all of his laws with his own hand," (Exodus 31:18).
3. Breaking law
"If you obey every law except one, you are still guilty of breaking them all," (James 2:10).
4. Anger for a reason
"But I say to you, anyone who is angry with his brother without a cause will be subject to punishment. And whoever says to his brother 'Raka!' will be subject to the Council. And whoever says 'You fool!' will be subject to hell fire," (Matthew 5:22).
The thought being this: God is the lawgiver and judge. When His law is broken, it is OK for Him to be angry. When I am angry, then I am setting myself up as God. My laws, standards, personal space, whatever has been violated, but I am not God and have no right to be angry.
There is the thought that we can be angry at the things that angers God, but we cannot sin. "Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger," (Ephesians 4:26).
An example would be abortion. God hates the killing of the innocent. "There are seven things that the LORD hates and cannot tolerate: A proud look, a lying tongue, hands that kill innocent people, a mind that thinks up wicked plans, feet that hurry off to do evil, a witness who tells one lie after another, and someone who stirs up trouble among friends," (Proverbs 6:16). So to become angry at abortion would be OK, but to bomb an abortion clinic or kill an abortionist is sin; it IS absolutely wrong, evil.

It is not wrong or a sin. What is a sin, is your support for murdering unborn children. You seem to imply there is something wrong if a babykilling abortion mill is burned or bomb. Which do you prefer, a pile of bricks or a pile of dead babies? Innocent unborn babies deserve to be protected just as born children deserve to be protected. You would have no problem protecting born children if they were about to be murdered.
SAY THIS PRAYER: Dear Jesus, I am a sinner and am headed to eternal hell because of my sins. I believe you died on the cross to take away my sins and to take me to heaven. Jesus, I ask you now to come into my heart and take away my sins and give me eternal life.
Well, Rev, your reading skills need a little boost.
Killing unborn children is killing the innocent. I said, "God hates the killing of the innocent." Any one who can read understands that I said killing unborn children is killing the innocent. An abortionist is NOT innocent; he/she is a killer, a murderer.
Nevertheless to bomb abortion clinics and to murder an abortionist is evil. Let God carry out the judgment. YOU are NOT God.
Do you bomb abortion mills and kill abortionists or pray for it? If so, maybe it would good for you to repent of the evil in your heart.
