I don't think I have to venture too far out on a limb to say He was upset or not pleased with what He observed and judged as being not right . So as someone said righteous indignation might be a better word and Him using some discernment (judgement) could get you there .But to say it was His "pride" it was stemming from seems a bit much .
where does it say he was angry
Agree and Jesus said to Peter "get behind me Satan " Anger is a normal part of who we are as humans . It serves a function . If your child who you are displeased with does not sense or see that you are angry with them how are they to know you are serious . Same goes for the church when they come together to judge issues . Some things are less serious then others . Some issues are a call to put that individual out of the group . Like I said be angry but do not sin .
Anger is not a Christian virtue, it's a base human response We are in a spiritual war
Not at al ....we are told to judge righteously . Other wise the Church would soon look like the Church did in 1st.Cor did .
In relationship to judgement that is a very accurate statement We are told not to judge others

Would it not be better to realize that sin has a doorway through anger rather then trying to deny the good part anger can function . Its like pain in that its good as a warning rather then being something to avoid . There are good reasons to be angry and they are justified or can be .
The fruit of the Spirit does not include anger, anger is a foothold

So you are saying that pride is the most harmful condition in this reality? You are also suggesting that pride leads directly to anger?
What happens when pride leads to happiness and contentment? Is that also wrong because that peace originated from a person's experiences and intuition on which they built their reality?
What is pride?
What is the opposite of pride?

Bingo or ding ding ding we have a winner .
Pride, if balanced correctly, is a beautiful and wonderful thing. If properly implemented, will allow a person to build their vision of this reality upon a solid bedrock that aligns with the true path of this reality.
