What Does the Bible Say About Anger?
Key Scriptures and spiritual guidance on anger
Η Βίβλος αναφέρεται στο θέμα της οργής σε πολλά σημεία. Η Βίβλος μας υποδεικνύει να είμαστε υπομονετικοί και να μην εκδικούμαστε, αλλά να αφήνουμε χώρο για την εκδίκηση του Θεού. Η οργή μπορεί να προκαλέσει διαμάχες και δυσκολίες, ενώ η υπομονή και η ειρήνη μας οδηγούν σε ευλογία και ενότητα.
