Unfortunately that's something that only they can answer. None of us can answer on their behalf. The question I'd ask is: were they truly angry at you for that time, or did it just appear so? If you're on speaking terms with them, I'd ask. The reasoning behind this is that if they operate by biblical principles, they should have forgiven whatever upset them, and therefore not hold any grudges against you that would prevent them talking reasonably. Your leaders have a level of responsibility as to your wellbeing (as shepherd leaders), so they should be ensuring they do nothing to cause you to stumble. However, as they are leaders, you must be willing to be accountable to them and accept rebuke if you have erred. I use the word 'rebuke' to describe the corrective guidance, not being tongue-lashed. My first suggestion is to ask them, and let them answer that question. It's the only way you could get an absolute answer.

You didn't give a reason for their anger. The Bible does say that sometimes it's not sinful to be angry. If they think their anger is righteous, or Godly they may have held on to it longer, waiting to see repentance from you. I don't know this, but it is an instance where this could be true. If they were just angry for something silly, I'd say this. They are no more or less human than you or I. Sometimes we take a while to notice our mistakes. There are many examples in the Bible of righteous anger. That is anger against evil, or people who are willfully and blatantly sinning. If you don't develop a hatred, a deep and lasting hatred for sin and evil, you are suseptible to fall into it yourself. An example, drug abuse. There are millions of people in this country who experimented with drugs as teenagers, and some later in life. They gave up drugs at a point for various reasons, but unless they began to hate the destruction caused by those drugs, the decline of morals, health, and all the crime and violence that comes with the drug trade, they are in danger of experimenting more. If an alcoholic does not learn to hate drunks, how long before he drinks again? To live the kind of life God wants you to, you have to hate sin. That does not mean stay mad at a person, it means stay mad at what they did, if it is anger for a just reason, so that you don't do the same. As for verses, try John 2, Jesus was mad. Or Rev 14, which also gives you the penalty for angering God too much. Matthew 18 talks of how to get a brother out of sin, and I would say anger at his sin would be about the only reason to use it.The pressure the Church can put on a man to change his ways can only come from refusing to associate with an unrepentant sinner, or being angry at him if you will. We must be angry at the unrepentant sinner, the child molester, the murderer, the drug dealer, the rapist, or how could we send them to prison for the rest of their lives, or to the executioner? That is righteous anger my friend. You are right about not letting the sun go down on your wrath, but that is a teaching on how to live with others who are not blatantly in sin, or willfully so. I have been married for 23 yrs, tomorrow to the same woman. It has been our practice to follow that principle. We do not go to bed mad at each other. Our marriage would probably not have lasted otherwise. Most all of our fights through the years were not from anger at the other's sin. As with most people, we have found that the arguments are over one of us being too full of pride, or some other dumb reason. In that case don't let the sun go down on your wrath.

Sometimes people allow their emotions to overcome their ability to do the right thing. They are more rigid on other things most likely because being humans we tend to focus on the easy things that we know we can always, or at least, try to always follow; whereas, other things are much easier to ignore and make excuses for. Clearly, what is right is right and what is wrong is wrong. The Bible isn't a pick-and-choose manual, where we can only choose to do the right thing, and do the wrong thing at other times and make excuses. More than likely, this could be why these other people are NOT following God's Word; besides, of course, being human we're all going to make mistakes because after all, nobody is perfect save Jesus, our Saviour and our Heavenly Father, God. You might wish to talk to these people and ask them why they're still angry about you and what you can do to resolve their anger, that is, if the solution is moral and feasible. However, the VERY BEST advice is to pray to God that they see the error of their ways and that you also pray to God that you always try to do your best and when you falter, to ask God for His forgiveness and try not to make the same mistake twice. I hope this answers your question and good luck with them!
