Ephesians 4:26 (Another Take on the verse)




Apostle Paul said In your anger do not sin.

Jesus said, it’s what that comes out of our mouth that defiles us. (Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh)

Buddha said you will not be punished by your anger but by your anger. 

Same thing said but by 2 Religions. The main point is Anger. How to deal with anger ? Whether one is a Jew, Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim, one is still a human being that’s dealing with multitude of problems and emotions. The common theme  is Anger and the common thing that it happens in is Man. 

Basically we are dealing with Man and his Anger issue ANGER MANAGEMENT. And here we see the 2 Great religious leaders voicing the same teachings and thoughts on the issue. Buddha incidentally is 500years before Christ. 

What I am trying to say is don’t get caught up by who say what and what they represent. Christ and Buddha have overcome their human tendencies albeit maybe they say it differently but it’s still the same thing.

God agreed. He is merciful. He is reasonable. He uses his discretion. According to Tao 18 that's consolation, the real thing is everyone, the whole world in harmony. But because the world is out of tune and out of sync, Righteousness has to fill the void.  Hebrew 10:16   “This  is  the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the LORD: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them,” That's  the real thing. ...

Quakers 1st House Meeting Place at Lyall St South Perth

 O Excert from “Chocolate Wars” - Deborah Cadbury : Chapter 3 A little side note on Quakers origin & history  For George and Richard, the chocolate factory was to be much more than a commercial enterprise. As Quakers they shared a vision of social justice and reform: a new world in which the poor and needy would be lifted from the “ruin of deprivation.”  For generations, Cadburys had been members of the Society of Friends or Quakers, a spiritual movement originally started by George Fox in the seventeenth century. In a curious irony, the very religion that inspired Quakers to act charitably towards the poor also produced a set of codes and practices that placed a few thousand close-knit families like the Cadburys in pole position to generate astounding material rewards at the start of the industrial age. Richard and George had been brought up on stories of George Fox, and many of the values, aspirations, and disciplines that shaped their lives stemmed from Fox’s teach...
