"What's sinful about wanting more money and a better life? What's sinful about expressing my sexual needs? What's sinful about getting angry and jacking up somebody who needs it?"
What makes all of those things sinful is
The Inherent Focus on ME,
The Importance of Getting What I Want and
The Immediate Urgency of Having My Own Way. But but but ... doesn't scripture say that Jesus got angry at the temple money changers?
It does. So doesn't that mean it's OK to get mad and express righteous anger?
Well, scripture also tells us that Jesus healed the lame, made the blind see, cured lepers, walked on water, calmed the storms, cast out demons, was born of a virgin, was resurrected from the dead, was God's only son and lived his whole life entirely without sin.
Are you able to claim all of those things, too?
