    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Jan 3, 2010
    based on 14 ratings
     | 11,396 views

    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"

    Matthew 5 - Part 13 - AM I GOING TO HELL FOR CALLING SOMEONE A FOOL? I’ve been thinking about "Murder". Not committing murder but the subject of "murder".

    based on 14 ratings
     | 12,167 views

    Jesus goes beyond the legal matters again. The CASE you have against someone is not as important as the RELATIONSHIP you have with them. Jesus emphasizes that the RELATIONSHIP IS ALWAYS MORE IMPORTANT. Sometimes we don’t want it to be more important.

    Matthew 5 - Part 14 - WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN SOMEONE HATES YOU? I remember years ago that a man wrote a nasty letter to me and included in it a curse and all kinds of false accusations. To this day, I don’t know why he wrote it. It was so vicious and untrue, but he had built up a case against me and ...read more

    I notice when Jesus confronts me, He goes for the heart. I am amazed at what I am capable of tolerating in my life unless I actively choose to His way to deal with it. I need to be vigilant in this important area concerning my thought life.

    Matthew 5 - Part 15 - SEX, ADULTERY, LUST AND GOUGING YOUR EYE OUT! Too often when Julie and I watch a movie, I am forced to turn it off or over because of the coarse nature of the movie, particularly relating to the sex scenes.

    based on 24 ratings
     | 11,982 views

    Why is the F*** word and and the Sh** word used so freely today? Jesus doesn’t directly include this in what He says about oaths in Matthew 5 but it is there by way of application and other passages enlarge on this area of sin, so I am taking a detour.

    based on 9 ratings
     | 6,371 views

    Some people can make God look like He doesn’t know how to make up His mind! One day it is “God wants me to do this.” and the next day it was something totally different. What does Jesus say about all this?

    Matthew 5 – Part 18 – GOD TOLD ME TO DO IT! I SWEAR! Occasionally I meet Christians who say “God is telling me to go and do this or that” and then the next minute God seems to have changed His mind.
