怒り
怒りは、それが定義を必要としないほど、人々にとって非常に一般的な感情です。しかし、興味のある点をいくつか挙げることができます。 1) 主は決して怒られません。怒りが主に帰するのは、この言葉が人間に意味を持たせるために書かれているからであり、人間が悪であるときには、主は怒るべきであるかのように思えるからです。そして、そのように考えることは人を傷つけることではありません。また、悪人が自分の計画がうまくいかない時に、主に怒りを感じて、それが返ってくると思っています。 2) 熱意はしばしば怒りのように見えますが、そうではなく、悪い動機ではなく、良い動機から来ています。怒りは利己的な愛が妨げられたり、攻撃されたりしたときに人に現れますが、熱意は善良な愛や価値ある真理が妨げられたり、攻撃されたりしたときに人に現れます。悪魔やサタンは怒りを感じ、それをよく感じ、攻撃しようとします。天使は熱意を感じ、しばしばそれを感じ、守ろうとすることがあります。
