Matthew 23 deals with Jesus being nasty to the leaders of the pharisees. If Jesus can do it, I can do it as well, right? This is one chapter. We have to take it into account but it’s one chapter. The four gospels contain a total of 89 chapters and in one of them, Jesus is exceptionally harsh. In the other ones, He is mild, calm, articulate, firm, and even mildly angry. Still, 1 out of 89 is 1.1% of the time. Taking the words of 1.1% percent of the gospels and applying them to 80% of your behavior is not following Christ, it’s an excuse to act how you want, when you want.

He made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side… MARK 6:45

Interesting read and I think that we as Christians must understand that it is ok be angry, but must not sin in our anger either (Eph. 4.26). It is righteous to be indignant in defending the faith and others honorably, however to seek out and destroy with pure and utter rage that is not guided by the Scripture is wholesale murder, whether verbally or physically.
