Guilt and shame are emotional responses

As Ive been saying that guilt, shame, and fear are an expression of anger. God has already obtained complete peace. There is nothing else we can do to make a plan so that we are at peace. Gods peace is seen in Him applying absolute justice and declaring us innocent. We think in an emotional way. We think that the presence of guilt is what we feel. But the bible stands over the feelings of guilt as a kind of prosecuting Judge. The judge acts as our defense to pronounce blessing by destroying anything that brings us captive to these cursed dispositions. I believe that Gods way of healing us is though His righteous indignation because He treats guilt, shame etc as abuse. The cursed dispositions are like bandits who scheme to trap us into destruction.

Gods indignation is a response to this scheme as an expression of anger. As guilt etc builds up in us it is anger turned inward. The continuous state of guilt is the same as being ambushed by a group of hoodlums. Gods curse is our outlet for releasing our anger as if we were standing before the Judge pronouncing us safe taking measures to prevent further destruction.
