A question about some verses in the book of Matthew?

Question

Does these verses mean that Jesus will end up in hell for an eternity?
Matthew 7:22 "Anyone who says, "You fool" will be subject to the fires of hell"
Matthew 7:26 "Everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man!"

Answer 1

For those saying he didn't call them fools, only foolish read what he has to say to the Pharisees in Matthew 23, he really calls them fools there.

Answer 2

Ah, Matthew 7:22 says "Many will say to me on that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?" I am sure your meant Matthew 5:22. As to Matthew 7:26, Jesus is using the term in the form of a parable and is not calling any particular person a fool as is suggested in Matthew 5:22.

Answer 3

(Matthew 7:26)
Like a house of cards, the fool's life crumbles. Most people do not deliberately seek to build on a false or inferior foundation, instead, they just don't think about their life's purpose. Many people are headed for destruction, not out of stubborness but out of thoughtlessness. Part of our responsibility as believers is to help others stop and think about where their lives are headed and to point out the consequences of ignoring Christs message.

Answer 4

Be careful with translations. The authors of the Bible did not have the luxury of having the whole Bible in their possession when they tried to remember the words of Jesus. The words of Jesus were written down 30 to 40 years after Jesus said them. We have few exact words of Jesus.
Paul tells us in 1 Cor 3:1:" Let no one deceive them self. If anyone among you considers them self wise in this age,let them become a fool so as to become wise."

Answer 5

Jesus is God, He has given US this passage to abide by--God can call anyone a fool for HE is God!
Because HE is the one to judge, not us. That is why Jesus tells us not to call someone a fool. Jesus can call someone foolish, for HE is our JUDGE. He is our Lord and Savior!
You need to stop comparing Jesus to man--or else you will never understand His holiness and righteousness and perfectness.
Read Romans 12

Answer 6

How can you use these verses to support this answer?

Did Jesus say "You fool"? No.

"Foolish" in the 2nd verse you use if indicative of charactistics portrayed.

I'm actually hoping you weren't serious about this question.

Answer 7

Saying someone is like a foolish man and blatantly calling someome a fool is two different things.

Answer 8

Of course not. We need to examine ourselves and ask Jesus to tell how He looks at our life.

Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. 24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: 27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

Answer 9

We don't really know if "raca" literally means "fool." It may have a connotation of being a worthless good-for-nothing.

Answer 10

Well the basic answer is to your question is no.

However, that is not what Matthew 7:22 says, please check your reference.
