Anger at sin
Anger at sin we allow. In this sense we may be angry and yet not sin (Ephesians 4:26). In this sense our Lord himself is once recorded to have been angry. He looked around at them with anger, being grieved at the hardness of their hearts (Mark 3:5). He was grieved at the sinners, and angry at the sin. And this is undoubtedly right before God.
