Is Anger Management Biblical? Would the Pharisees place Yahusha in Anger Management for cleansing the Temple? Priest's probably called it vandalism. Let's look at the key points the World would say and what the Bible would say about anger. Remember the World uses the logic of good and evil.
2. Once you're calm, express your anger: The World wants you to stop all actions until you are so called thinking clearly. In other words, what they are saying is don't say anything that is politically incorrect. When you adopted their political correctness, then they will let you can speak. Expressing frustration is then like talking to a psychiatrist. Using assertiveness is just enough to hang you if you stray over their line of political correctness. Speaking your concerns and needs to them is placing good and evil as your master. When Yahusha cleansed the Temple, in His eyes it was His Father's House, not the scribes, Pharisees, and hypocrites house.
3. Get some exercise: Physical activity is a distraction for your mind and body. It's walking away from what offended you or standing down to what is offensive. What needs to happen is the Truth to be made known. Evil is never Truth. The knowledge of good and evil is manipulated Truth by the addition of deception. What appears to be true, is not always the whole Truth and nothing but the Truth. The World wants you to enjoy the pleasures of the World only if you stand down and not make a problem for them.
4. Take a timeout: A timeout is the knowledge of good and evil requiring you to do solitary confinement without anyone telling you to do so. The question is, is a timeout following the Good Shepherd to the green pastures and still waters? Following the instructions of a timeout will never lead you to a green pasture or still waters spiritually. It will lead you to the world's playground. To the World, Truth is evil, the knowledge of good and evil is is good.
5. Identify possible solutions: This is saying the knowledge of good and evil is the solution. The world wants you to believe that you are one that's mad if you cannot compromise. They want you to resolve. In other words, a committee decides after they broke down the elements of the argument. They identify the political correctness of the matter and punish the political incorrectness of it. A protest without violence is a threat to the World if it is conservative. A protest that is violent is rewarded by the World if it is liberal. Biblically thinking, believing in Yahusha Hamashia in their eyes makes you insane. The world wants you to forsake Yahusha and find another Elohiym.
6. Stick with 'I' statements: Say what? The World wants you to avoid criticizing or placing blame on others. Okay, almost good so far. But what the world is missing is Truth. It's the Truth that can set you and your neighbor free only if they can see or hear Truth. Saying, "I'm upset", is not heard for the most part. For them to hear that they would need to have compassion. In other words, eyes that see and ears that hear. Or they might see a wealthy bank account of yours and fake compassion. I statements places you number one only in your eyes. Saying, how are you feeling, is heard.
7. Don't hold a grudge: The question is, when is that person going to stop offending you? You can only forgive if you are anchored in Yahuah Elohiym. Otherwise you may be forced into their orbit and having their words being said with your mouth. People are afraid to confront a Narcissist or a Jezebel. On one hand if you don't forgive, you may allow anger and other negative feelings to crowd out positive feelings. This may cause bitterness or sense of injustice to control you. But then if you forgive foolishly, the Evil placed upon you may happen again and again because the knowledge of good and evil describes you as weak. In other words it's a battle. The Holy Spirit is your compass. Bible says put on the whole armor of Yahuah Elohiym. Forgive with the Sword of the Spirit in your hand.
8. Use humor to release tension: In other words, the World and the knowledge of good and evil wants you to eat, drink and be happy. They think by being half drunk, it can help diffuse tension. They want you distracted from your thoughts and your mind off of confrontation. Biblically you need to make Yahuah your strength and your shield; in Him your heart should trust, and you will be helped; your heart will exult, and with song you give Him. Being half drunk leads you into a contract of bondage.
9. Practice relaxation skills: The World with the knowledge of good and evil calls you out to connect with practices that are connected historically from Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism. They chant the mantra 'Om' during their meditation. Om or AUM are conditions of consciousness. It's the waking state, the dreaming state, and the deep sleep state. It places you with the deities in charge of the creation, preservation, and destruction of the universe. Biblically we must remember that Satan is in charge of that realm.
Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Ephesians 2:2
10. Know when to seek help:. In other words, the world wants you to seek the World for help, not the Bible. In their eyes, Being out of control is not being in the World's control. The question is, is your feelings of Hate or Truth making themselves known?
Whosoever hates his brother is a murderer: and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. 1 John 3:15
Yahusha said to love your neighbor. Yahusha also said ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of thieves.’ ”
Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.
1 John 3:18
Yahusha loved His Father in Heaven. I believe this is why He cleansed the Temple. The Politically Correct would have placed Yahusha Hamashia in Anger Management. This they could not do so they set Yahusha up to be killed by the Romans.
Anger is fostered so there is a need for anger management. If you love thy neighbor, there's no need to manage anger.
