The only real sin is lack of love. (Love not sex) It's the exact opposite of what Jesus said was the ultimate commandment to love the Lord God and to love your neighbor.
Scripture actually says "Be angry and do not sin". There is a righteous anger that is not sinful. Jesus demonstrated it when he saw that merchants were impeding the purpose of the temple which was to be a place of prayer. But getting anger right is difficult for man. So probably best not to practice it.
Dr. Phil says that Anger reflects either frustration or fear. And astute observation.
I can see where anger might be tied to rape or revenge sex. But I don't see it as the motivation for most sexual sins.
Fear of missing out, fear of loneliness plays a part in some. But loneliness is a thing in and of itself. And God said it's not good for a man to be alone.
Sexual desire is an innate desire given by God. Sex itself was invented by God and is beautiful wonderful thing. I believe it was designed to be used within marriage to reinforce marriage as well for procreation.
That we abuse sex and use it in ways never intended is a problem. I don't know that I have a lot of answers except to say that I need a Savior and thank God for Jesus.
But I got to say. It's very difficult in this day and age for many reasons.
Thanks, DannyTN for your thoughts about this matter. It’s surely an important one.
[[Scripture actually says “Be angry and do not sin”.]]
Ive read that This speaks to an anger that leads to boiling over and plotting revenge. As does the verse “do not ,et the sun go down upon your wrath”. (Some folks read it as “do not go,to bed angry, but I beleive the correct word is ‘with wrath’, not anger)
The verse I don’t beleive is about anger, it is about going to bed so full of rage that you plot harm to others, seeking revenge on them, lying there cultivating plans in your mind about how to get back at them.
Going to bed angry, is actually a good thing (provided you can do so and let it go so that you can s,eep). You set aside the anger, get a good night’s sleep, then you wake with a fresh mind and new outlook on whatever it was that made you angry the day before. You are usually much calmer and more level,headed than you were in the heat of the moment.
