Matthew 5 - Part 13 - Am I Going To Hell For Calling Someone A Fool? Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Jan 3, 2010

Does calling your brother a fool make you guilty of hell. Is this what Jesus means? The NASB softens it down by adding the words "guilty ENOUGH TO GO into the fiery hell." but literally it says "whoever says ‘Fool’ will be sent to fiery hell"

Jesus uses "murder" as a teaching unit on the mountain for His disciples. But He takes the view that it’s what happens on the inside that ...read more
