Doesn't Jesus' anger contradict being sinless?

Ok, so.

Jesus was without sin…Sinless.

Jesus was angered in the temple and at the fig tree. Anger is one of the seven deadly sins…

So…How is he without sin…
 
Hi,

Anger is itself is simply an emotion and of itself, morally neutral. Basically it is a kind of auxiliary generator. It adds thrust to an action that has already been generated. If the action is good, then the anger is good. If the action is bad, then the anger is bad. Righteous anger is most appropriate. Sinful anger is one of the seven capital sins. The anger Jesus expressed was righteous and and was not a sin.

Fr. Vincent Serpa, O.P.
