A Mudança Ocorrida nos Cristãos
Nós, que antes nos deliciávamos com a fornicação, agora abraçamos somente a castidade; nós, que antes usávamos artes mágicas, dedicamo-nos ao Deus bom e não gerado; nós, que valorizávamos acima de todas as coisas a aquisição das riquezas e das posses, reunimos agora o que temos num stock comum e repartimo-lo por todos os necessitados; nós, que nos odiávamos e destruÃamos uns aos outros, e por causa dos nossos costumes diferentes, não convivÃamos com homens de uma tribo diferente, agora, desde a vinda de Cristo, convivemos com eles, oramos pelos nossos inimigos e esforçamo-nos por persuadir aqueles que nos odeiam injustamente a viver em conformidade com os bons preceitos de Cristo, a fim de que se tornem participantes connosco da mesma alegre esperança de uma recompensa de Deus, o Todo-Poderoso.
— Justin Mártir (100-165)
Uma Resolução para Não Agir como Meu
De hoje em diante, não devo agir, em nenhum aspeto, como meu. Agirei como meu se alguma vez fizer uso de qualquer dos meus poderes para algo que não seja para a glória de Deus, e não fizer da glorificação d’Ele a minha única e exclusiva ocupação — se murmurar, mesmo que seja a mÃnima, perante a aflição; se me entristecer com a prosperidade dos outros; se eu for de alguma forma inclemente; se me irritar por causa de injúrias; se me vingar delas; se fizer algo puramente para me agradar, ou se evitar algo em nome do meu próprio conforto; se omitir algo por ser grande abnegação; se eu confiar em mim próprio; se receber algum elogio do bem que faço, ou que Deus faz por mim; ou se sou de alguma forma orgulhoso. — Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758)
Razões Desonestas para Ir à Guerra
Conheço bem a desculpa que os homens, sempre engenhosos em maquinar o mal para si e para os outros, oferecem para atenuar a sua conduta quando vão para a guerra. Alegam que a isso são compelidos; que são arrastados contra a sua vontade para a guerra. Eu respondo-lhes: ajam com justiça. Tirem a máscara; deitem fora todas as cores falsas; consultem o vosso próprio coração e descobrirão que a raiva, a ambição e a loucura são a força compulsiva que vos arrastou para a guerra, e não qualquer necessidade; menos que, de facto, chamem necessidade aos desejos insaciáveis de uma mente cobiçosa.

Bible Verses for Anger Management
Bible Verses for Anger Management
April 23, 2024 |

Everyone gets angry sometimes.
It’s
normal. But many people struggle with a constant feeling of anger and rage,
either towards themselves or others. When left unchecked, these feelings can
lead us to do things that we later regret. People in addiction recovery often
struggle with anger because they are ashamed or upset at themselves for their
past behavior. As a Christian drug rehab, we understand that to overcome guilt
and shame, you must address feelings like anger head-on. To help those in
recovery from addiction and battling with anger, we’re sharing some of the best
Bible verses for anger management.
What the
Bible Says About Anger
According to the Bible, anger occurs when our desires rule us. These desires can include love, fear, hope, longing, respect, control, and more. When any desire, even well-intentioned ones, takes precedence over our desire to please God, things get out of hand. When our desires take over and aren’t met, we become angry. So basically, the root of our anger is our desires.
In James 4:1 to 3, it reads, “What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions are at war within you? You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions.” James had the right idea. Here, he was pointing out that when our desires are not fulfilled the way we want them to be, we act out in anger.
In James 1: 13 to 16, it’s also written, “Let no one say when he is tempted, ‘I am being tempted by God,’ for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one. But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death. Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers.” It’s common for people to place the blame on God and others when they’re angry. “Why are you doing this to me? What did I do to deserve this?” Oftentimes, we’re the instigators of our own problems. As James wrote, God never tempts us, but rather it’s our desires that sway our emotions and behaviors.
God also talks about anger in these Bible verses: “Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret—it leads only to evil” (Psalm 37:8) and,
“People with understanding control their anger; a hot temper shows great foolishness.” (Proverbs 14:29). He wants us to understand that acting out in anger often ends in sin and “great foolishness.” People have been hurt by their loved ones, lied to, and even killed as a result of anger and rage. In the case of a person who struggled with addiction, anger can easily lead to relapse. If you’re still struggling with drug cravings or close to relapse, our stabilization program at Faith in Recovery can help you stay on track.
Bible
Verses to Calm Anger
It’s important to remember that, contrary to popular belief, anger itself is not a sin. Rather, it’s how we manage our anger that determines whether or not we sin. There are plenty of instances of anger in the Bible that were not followed by sinful actions. Even Jesus has felt angry.
For example, in Mark 3:5, Jesus was angry with the Pharisees due to the hardness of their hearts. Yet, He was not vengeful or hateful but rather carried on his work of healing and allowed them to absorb what they may. Even so, many anger issues in the Bible were followed by sinful actions and behaviors, which lead to a whole other mess of problems.
If you’re
struggling with anger in addiction recovery, you may feel angry towards
yourself or your loved ones for not being there to support you. You may also
have been struggling with anger since you first started using drugs or
drinking, and now it’s time to manage it. If you’re in this situation, below
are some anger management verses in the Bible that can mentally and spiritually
bring you back to focusing on God and slowly help you overcome anger.
Ephesians 4:26 – 27: Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and give no opportunity to the devil.
James 1:19 – 20: Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.
Proverbs 29:11: A fool gives full vent to his spirit, but a wise man quietly holds it back.
Ecclesiastes 7:9: Do not be quickly provoked in your spirit, for anger resides in the lap of fools.
Proverbs 15:1: A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
Ephesians 4:31-32: Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
Luke 6:31: Do to others as you would have them do to you.
Psalm 4:4: Tremble and do not sin; when you are on your beds, search your hearts and be silent.
Proverbs 14:16 – 17: The wise are cautious and avoid danger; fools plunge ahead with reckless confidence. Short-tempered people do foolish things, and schemers are hated.
Although there are plenty of Bible verses to calm down anger, it’s not enough to just read these verses. You have to find ways to apply them to your life. For instance, Proverbs 14:16-17 reads, “The wise are cautious and avoid danger….” This means that you need to be wise about the situations you put yourself in. If you received alcohol treatment and you’re struggling with the desire to drink, don’t go to a club or a party where you know alcohol will be abundant. While it’s not guaranteed to be easy, God can help you overcome anything.

Judge Rules Against Firefighter Injured by COVID Vaccine!
Censorship/Surveillance
‘Chilling’ Decision: Judge Rules Against Firefighter Injured by COVID Vaccine After Employer Rejected Medical Exemption
A federal judge ruled that New York firefighter O’Brian Pastrana, who experienced a severe heart injury after his second COVID-19 vaccine, was not entitled to financial compensation. Pastrana’s employer denied his request for a medical exemption based on the firefighter’s severe reaction to his first dose.
Former New York City firefighter O’Brian Pastrana, who was forced to retire after he was diagnosed with permanent heart damage following the mandated COVID-19 shot, is not entitled to financial compensation for his losses, a federal judge ruled last week.
U.S. District Judge Brian M. Cogan ruled that none of Pastrana’s fundamental rights were violated when he was denied a medical exemption — even though he experienced a severe reaction to the first shot — and compelled to either get fully vaccinated or be fired by the New York City Fire Department (FDNY).
Cogan said the vaccine mandate wasn’t to blame for Pastrana’s injury, as he claimed. “In this case, Pastrana always had a choice between receiving the vaccine and keeping his job.”
Pastrana also “was free to decide between taking the vaccine or seeking different employment” in another department or a neighboring state, Cogan ruled. And he was “free not to receive the second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, potentially sacrificing his career.” As a result, the city can’t be held accountable for his injuries, Cogan ruled.
Based on the facts presented, Cogan granted the city’s motion for summary judgment, ruling in the city’s favor without a trial.
Christina Martinez, one of Pastrana’s attorneys, said the court sidestepped the unconstitutional conditions doctrine, which prohibits the government from conditioning a public benefit, like employment, on the waiver of a constitutional right.
She said:
“Here, the Court found that the ‘fundamental right to bodily integrity’ wasn’t implicated because Mr. Pastrana could have walked away from his job rather than take the second dose. But that ignores both the facts and the law. Mr. Pastrana didn’t just lose his job — he lost his health.
“He suffered a serious allergic reaction to the first dose, sought a medical exemption, and was told by the city that he had to take the second dose anyway. After complying, he developed myocarditis and was forced into disability retirement. That is not a free choice; it’s coercion.”
Attorney Sujata Gibson, also representing Pastrana, said Pastrana didn’t leave his job. He stayed, followed the rules, and was injured by his employer’s policy. She said:
“So the question is, can an employer require you to do something that they understand could kill or harm you without having to prove it is necessary or compensate you when you are hurt? This court said yes.”
‘My life has been slowly but surely deteriorating’
Pastrana received his first dose of the vaccine on Oct. 29, 2021. He immediately experienced an anaphylactic reaction, including hives, swelling of the lips and other symptoms that persisted for weeks.
He was treated in an emergency room (ER), and later seen by a doctor with the FDNY who attributed Pastrana’s symptoms to the COVID-19 vaccine. The symptoms persisted and were intermittently severe, causing Pastrana to return to the ER multiple times and take time off work.
Despite his injury, the FDNY doctor refused to grant Pastrana a medical exemption for the second shot unless he could present an allergy test proving he was allergic to the vaccine.
Pastrana went to an allergist, who said the allergy test could not be administered because Pastrana was taking medication to keep his ongoing allergy symptoms at bay.
Pastrana said he chose to get the second dose, on Nov. 23, 2021, so he could keep his job and support his family. He experienced serious heart damage and was forced into retirement. Pastrana gets a small disability benefit, which pays 50% of his salary, minus taxes.
He said he now struggles physically and is unable to support his wife and small children.
“Everything for me has been a struggle since I became injured,” Pastrana told The Defender. “Since 2021, my life has been slowly but surely deteriorating and has been only getting worse.”
He said:
“My wife is picking up overtime every day she has off, trying to make ends meet. I’m unable to hold down work due to my physical limitations due to the worsening of the debilitating illnesses I now suffer from.
“My wife’s vehicle was repossessed two weeks ago. Bills are building … things are getting turned off left and right. I’ve been able to get by, borrowing from family members, but who knows how long I can do that. Foreclosure seems inevitable.”
‘Lack of humanity’ in the decision ‘signals a very, very bleak future’
Cogan based his decision in part on the 1905 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Jacobson v. Massachusetts, which he said established that there is no fundamental right to reject a vaccine mandate.
However, Gibson said the Jacobson decision also held that no mandate can be put in place unless there is an adequate medical exemption. She said:
“Jacobson’s medical exemption requirement is consistent with Nuremberg. It goes with our most basic human rights. It just shocks the conscience to say that you can be required to subject yourself to a medical intervention that’s going to hurt or kill you. But now this court has said that that’s no longer true.
“You don’t need a medical exemption. It doesn’t need to be adequate. And there is no remedy if you are hurt or killed. Worse, the government need not even prove the sacrifice was necessary. It is something the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit has hinted at before, and it is really scary.
“The lack of humanity in decisions like this signals a very, very bleak future if we don’t fight.”
When the Jacobson ruling was issued, the penalty for violating the mandate was a $5 fine — equivalent to about $182.65 today. At that time, Gibson said, the same constitutional rights people are entitled to today didn’t exist. Nuremberg was still decades away. Since then, the courts have defined the right to refuse medicine as fundamental.
More importantly, she said, Jacobson said there are certain circumstances where it would be unconstitutional to ask someone to get vaccinated against their will.
“And the one example provided of such a circumstance where it would be clearly unconstitutional was if somebody was medically unfit for the vaccine and was at risk of serious harm or death,” Gibson said.
In Pastrana’s case, everyone agreed he had been seriously injured by the first dose and would likely be more seriously injured by the second shot. Yet the city refused to accommodate him, she said.
Gibson added:
“In Jacobson, the court said that not only would it be unconstitutional but ‘cruel and inhuman in the last degree’ to ask someone like that to get vaccinated, even being subject to a $5 fine would be unconstitutional. Here we’re talking about subjecting someone to a loss of his entire career, which itself is a protected right.”
The judge ruled that it was rational for the FDNY to require an allergy test to avoid arbitrarily granting or denying medical exemptions. He also said it would have been reasonable for the city to deny Pastrana an accommodation even after an allergy test if it thought that decision would better serve public health and safety.
“As Jacobson established over 100 years ago, the needs of the community can outweigh the desire for an exception for one individual,” the judge wrote. “The same is true here.”
Gibson asked, “At what point does this not become like the Hunger Games? Just something really sick and twisted.”
In 1905, she noted, people also had far fewer workplace protections:
“In today’s environment, where we have all these heightened workplace protections, for the court to say that it’s constitutional, not just for an employer, but for the government to force civil servants to risk harm or death to have a medical intervention that’s probably going to kill or harm them severely to serve. It is quite chilling.”
