The Jewish teachers had taught, that nothing except actual murder was forbidden by the sixth commandment. Thus they explained away its spiritual meaning. Christ showed the full meaning of this commandment; according to which we must be judged hereafter, and therefore ought to be ruled now. All rash anger is heart murder

I don't understand how you can't say that isn't relevant. Not only to Robertson's nonsense but you previous statement that the commandment 'really' meant murder.

Sorry. It is the way I've read and understood that commandment for many years. Same with the one "thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor". Some interpret that as "Thou shalt not lie". Yet King David himself lied to the temple priests (on his way to a war, I might add.

Sometimes..there are justifications for things..and sometimes a Christian shoots his mouth off one too many times..but that is no reason to condemn them as many have Mr. Robertson. Mr. Robertson did not speak in "Rash Anger" that is someone else's JUDGEMENT of him..that is why I said it did not apply

We will all be judged..about this Henry was right. He was absolutely right. But murder is murder only according to the situation. Chavez is building arms against us..has threatened us..all Mr. Robertson did was make a play on Chavez's own words..that is not murder.

But, like I was asked before..who is to be the judge? By what rule can we judge without condemning ourselves?

My opinion is nothing in the Greater scheme of things..so is Mr. Robertsons..no opinion is worth the outrage I've seen on this thread..even Mr. Robertsons.
