When someone sins, someone who knows better, who has been taught, who supposedly loves the Lord, and it makes you go crazy with the urge to hunt them down and punch them in the face for their general unremorsefulness, is that okay?
I've been looking for verses that say it's okay to punch someone in the face, but it appears that the Word was written infururatingly to make us peacemakers:
Psalm 37:8 "Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret—it leads only to evil."
Exodus 34:6 "...The LORD, the LORD, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness."
And of course, we can't forget good ol' Romans 12:19 "Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord."
So, then I guess my prayers will be for a solid punch in the face from God, who is wrathful and just.
