I'm doing a study on the concept of ANGER in the old testament. I know God gets angry and so did Jesus, so therefor I conclude it cannot be sin. I'm sharing my crude notes here in case you'd like to dive in with me.
I am attempting to prove from scripture that feeling ANGRY is not sinful.
The reason for this is simple: God wired our brains on the right side to feel six big emotions. He designed things so we would be able to feel each one and return to shalom within ninety seconds by the time we're four years old.
In some family systems, certain of these emotions are considered inappropriate, wrong, sinful, etc. This can be SO damaging!
I was reared by a Mom who likely has emotional disorders (labeled officially as "mental illness") like NPD and/or BPD.
Not being able to feel our feelings and react to protect ourselves or loved ones, stand up for ourselves and behave as God intends is a problem facing SO many of us.
DR Wilder breaks it down like this: NPD is the inability to regulate the right brain emotion of shame, whereas BPD is the inability to regulate the other of the five. Because of his extensive teachings from scripture and the research he and his team have done looking into Dr Schore and other's work on brain science, I use his working definition for not being able to feel our feelings properly.
Note: there are levels of emotional maturation we need to reach before we can regulate the six right brain feelings.
To begin my study with ANGER I start with Strongs 639. As I get time I will update this post as I can.
Ex 4:14

Question: Does GOD FEEL ANGRY?
Can God Sin?
If he built us to feel angry does that mean anger is a sin?
Does the bible say, "IN YOUR ANGER do not sin" or does it say anger IS sin?
Ephesians 4:26 What is the object ?
