Question: "What does the Bible say about anger?"
Answer:
Handling anger is an important topic. Christian counselors report that
50 percent of people who come in for counseling have problems dealing with
anger. Anger can shatter communication and tear apart relationships, and it
ruins both the joy and health of many. Sadly, people tend to justify their anger
instead of accepting responsibility for it. Everyone struggles, to varying
degrees, with anger. Thankfully, God’s Word contains principles regarding how to
handle anger in a godly manner, and how to overcome sinful anger.

Same sex marriage?
Question: "What does the Bible say about gay marriage / same sex
marriage?"
Answer: While the Bible does address homosexuality, it does not explicitly mention gay marriage/same-sex marriage. It is clear, however, that the Bible condemns homosexuality as an immoral and unnatural sin. Leviticus 18:22 identifies homosexual sex as an abomination, a detestable sin. Romans 1:26-27 declares homosexual desires and actions to be shameful, unnatural, lustful, and indecent. First Corinthians 6:9 states that homosexuals are unrighteous and will not inherit the kingdom of God. Since both homosexual desires and actions are condemned in the Bible, it is clear that homosexuals “marrying” is not God’s will, and would be, in fact, sinful.
