The trouble is ... I never said that ... so let’s take a look at this, since you’re bringing it up.

— — —

King James Version ...
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, You fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

New American Standard Bible ...
“But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before the court; and whoever says to his brother, ‘You good-for-nothing,’ shall be guilty before the supreme court; and whoever says, ‘You fool,’ shall be guilty enough to go into the fiery hell.

New International Version ...
But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, ‘Raca,’ is answerable to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell.

— — —

Now, you’ll note I’m not angry at my brother. And I didn’t call him a “good-for-nothing” or an “idiot” or a “fool” or “Raca”.

However, you will find in the Bible - very explicity so - to vigorously contend over teachings and doctrines and groups and/or institutions.

BUT ... once again ... if you want to go into it some more, please do post a thread on this subject and let’s cover it in the Religious Forum. It’s a worthwhile subject to cover - and it’s worth clearing it up in the Religious Forum. People do have to understand that there is a difference between teachings and doctrines and groups who engage in those things - versus - a person himself and calling him names or hating him so that you basically almost want to kill the person.

SO ... no ... there’s no hate against a person here.

You dance real pretty but you're not quite quick enough. And I didn’t call him a “good-for-nothing” or an “idiot” or a “fool” or “Raca”.

"Raca" means vain, empty, worthless, only found in Matt. 5:22. The Jews used it as a word of contempt. It is derived from a root meaning "to spit."

That is EXACTLY what you did! And more!

you know that there are Christians who are Bible-believing, Evangelical (and perhaps Dispensational) - who are going to say that Catholic teachings are DOCTRINES FROM HELL and are going to lead those who believe in that straight into the Devil’s hands.

Shame on you. And now you are making excuses, post after post trying to justify what you did.

I love Jesus and I ain't buying it.

I rebuke you in the name of Jesus.
