DID YOU GET ANGRY WITH YOUR BROTHER IN CRIST?

Carolina Alfaro

"The brothers being joined,

because this is the first law.

They have real bond

at any time

because if the fight between each other

the outside people will eat them up".

Advise from Martin Fierro to their children

Second part.

The poem of the gaucho Martin Fierro talks about blood brothers. The more the brothers saved by the blood of Jesus Christ. To be angry with a brother or sister. Who does not have this situation? If you  make them to loose the patience or they make you loose the patience, in this way the issue continues to be angry an then to be enemy. If the fury is not controlled, it can go to big bad issue. Churches had being separated due fury, enmity and rivalry between sisters and brothers.

But between Christians, unless your brother did to you something than can not be fixed, (in such case, it will be necessary to evaluate if the offender is a real Christian or not) 1 to be angry for nonsense things, it is not allow. You can not be mad with your brother and then make yourself the king of proud without looking for a reconciliation. But be careful: there are some brothers that due to attitudes, they will be always trying the patience of the rest. You can forgive but you can also admonish.

Obviously, if you see that your brother continues with the same issue, you forgive  but you move away and if this person continues, you take him as pagan who visit the congregation. One son of God can not reiterate anger ; the Holy Spirit will reproach his conscience. We are going to see some verses that urge us do not tolerate anger:

Mathew 5:22

²⁶ “Be angry, and do not sin”: do not let the sun go down on your wrath, ²⁷ nor give ^[g]place to the devil.

1. Something unrepairable ? As example that you brother seduce and take away from you your girlfriend or wife. Such as offense it is very difficult to forgive and God knows it. (Proverbs 6:20-35) Even so, the Word remember us that the revenge belongs to the Lord ( Roman 12:19)
