Biblical Answer

Anger is indeed one of the seven deadly sins, but not in the sense that it is the only sinful kind of anger. The Bible teaches that there are two primary kinds of sinful anger: explosive anger and simmering anger. Both are equally harmful, and both need to be repented of and brought daily to Jesus for redemption. Explosive anger is the kind that leads us to do something about injustice, but it can also lead to hurtful actions. Simmering anger, on the other hand, is when we want to hurt others, often due to impatience or selfishness. Both types of anger can erode our bodily health and give the devil an opportunity to divide and conquer. The Bible teaches us to be angry, yet not sinning (Eph 4:26-27), which means that we should not let our anger control us, but rather, we should let Jesus control our anger.

The Bible teaches that God's anger is different from human anger. God's anger is not an arbitrary matter, but rather, it is a response to sin and evil. His wrath is a holy and righteous reaction to wickedness. In contrast, human anger is often a sign of pride and weakness. We should not confuse God's holy anger with our own sinful anger. The Bible teaches us that our anger should be a reflection of God's holy anger, not our own sinful anger. We should be angry at sin, not at the sinner, and we should not let our anger control us. Instead, we should let Jesus control our anger and guide us in how to respond to injustice.

In the Bible, anger is not classified as one of the seven deadly sins, but rather, it is a broader category that includes many different types of sins. The seven deadly sins are not a biblical concept, but rather, they were developed by early Christian writers to describe the ways in which Christians can be untrue to themselves and to God. The Bible teaches us that anger is a sin when it is not controlled by God and when it leads to hurtful actions. We should repent of our anger and bring it daily to Jesus for redemption, and we should let Jesus guide us in how to respond to injustice in a way that is holy and righteous. By doing so, we can reflect God's holy anger and live a life that is pleasing to Him.
