Question

subject to the judgment; but whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be subject to be called before the sanhedrim; but whosoever shall say, Fool, shall be subject to the penalty of the hell of fire." Does that means that am going to hell for saying it.

Answer 1

Whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause is in danger of the judgment.
But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. -Colossians 3:8.

Answer 2

READ THE VERSE BEFORE THIS.It is talking about murder!21"You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not murder and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.'.22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. READ THE NEXT VERSE!! 23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;
24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be RECONCILED to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
25 Agree with thine adversary quickly,(MAKE UP, SETTLE MATTERS) whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.

Answer 3

21"You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not murder,[a] and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.' 22But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother[b]will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, 'Raca,[c]' is answerable to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell.

Proverbs 10:8:

8 The wise in heart accept commands,
but a chattering fool comes to ruin.

Proverbs 10:10:

10 He who winks maliciously causes grief,
and a chattering fool comes to ruin.

Proverbs 10:18:

18 He who conceals his hatred has lying lips,
and whoever spreads slander is a fool.

AND ONE FROM THE NEW TESTAMENT.

Luke 12:20:

20"But God said to him, 'You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?'

Not for saying it, but for using it as a word off condemnation on another. But notice, my scripture says could be in danger of hell.

Answer 4

22 However, I say to YOU that everyone who continues wrathful with his brother will be accountable to the court of justice; but whoever addresses his brother with an unspeakable word of contempt will be accountable to the Supreme Court; whereas whoever says, ‘You despicable fool!’ will be liable to the fiery Ge·hen′na.
the word (contempt) for your brother.“An unspeakable word of contempt.” Gr., Rha·ka′; J17, Re·qa’′, an Aram. word of contempt.

Symbolic of Complete Destruction. It is evident that Jesus used Gehenna as representative of utter destruction resulting from adverse judgment by God, hence with no resurrection to life as a soul being possible. (Mt 10:28; Lu 12:4, 5) The scribes and Pharisees as a wicked class were denounced as ‘subjects for Gehenna.’ (Mt 23:13-15, 33) To avoid such destruction, Jesus’ followers were to get rid of anything causing spiritual stumbling, the ‘cutting off of a hand or foot’ and the ‘tearing out of an eye’ figuratively representing their deadening of these body members with reference to sin.—Mt 18:9; Mr 9:43-47; Col 3:5; compare Mt 5:27-30.

Jesus also apparently alluded to Isaiah 66:24 in describing Gehenna as a place “where their maggot does not die and the fire is not put out.” (Mr 9:47, 48) That the symbolic picture here is not one of torture but, rather, of complete destruction is evident from the fact that the Isaiah text dealt, not with persons who were alive, but with “the carcasses of the men that were transgressing” against God. If, as the available evidence indicates, the Valley of Hinnom was a place for the disposal of garbage and carcasses, fire, perhaps increased in intensity by the addition of sulfur (compare Isa 30:33), would be the only suitable means to eliminate such refuse. Where the fire did not reach, worms, or maggots, would breed, consuming anything not destroyed by the fire. On this basis, Jesus’ words would mean that the destructive effect of God’s adverse judgment would not cease until complete destruction was attained.

Answer 5

It would be good for you too consider that the wisdom in the Christian Bible is as the wisdom in other spiritual books. That is read study learn but it would seem that God sitting around taking notes on what your bible might indicate is not worthwhile
does not seem productive for either you or He.
Rather ask if this be true oh God forgive me then go and do not perform such an action again. But, if you do it again ask forgiveness of God again. God remains the loving God, not the vindictive God.

Answer 6

This goes along with the verse that says if you lust after a woman you have already committed adultery with her in your heart. Just like if you hate without cause, you have murdered in your heart. These acts do not have to be physical to be sinful. We all fall short. We all will be judged. We all need forgiven. Anyone that isn't forgiven will go to hell because their sin remains and there is a price to pay. Salvation is through Christ alone; He has been given authority to forgive all sin. Christ paid our debt. We all deserve hell, but God is merciful. Seek Him and live.

Answer 7

You must read the whole passage, not just one verse. Read verses 21-26 to get the picture, then read that passage in the context of chapter 5,6, and 7. Jesus is not talking to you. He is talking to a fellow Jew who is under the law. That is-he should know better than to hold anger against his brother (another fellow Jew). this is in reference to a disagreement. The one who says "fool" is not attempting to settle the dispute.
It is difficult to lift one verse out of its context and make it mean the right thing.

Answer 8

To call someone a despicable fool is to say that person is not fit for the Kingdom of God. It was issued as a warning for us, not to judge anyone one lest we be judged by our own measuring sticks.

Answer 9

Anything out of harmony with YHVH must be either repented of, or carried into the fires of purification. there is no third choice>

Answer 10

It means , as a Christian, you better repent and ask God to forgive you for it.
