“but I — I say to you, that every one who is angry at his brother without cause, shall be in danger of the judgment, and whoever may say to his brother, Empty fellow! shall be in danger of the sanhedrim, and whoever may say, Rebel! shall be in danger of the gehenna of the fire.”
Matthew 5:22 YLT98
Hello to you,
This verse above is from the going’s literal. Jesus said this in context of a matter of court in how we are to settle matter quickly with another who may be trying to sue you.
It’s interesting Jesus mentions being guilty enough to go into the Gehenna of fire.
Now I’m doing a study on the scripture dealing with Gehenna which are all located here: Matthew 5:22;29;18:9;23:15;33;
Mark 9:43; Luke 12:5; James 3:6
Was wondering others thoughts on what Jesus is trying to say by this, and even though it is in context about courts can it apply with dealing with other individuals in general, such as having a harden heart against another even as a believer and experience a fire - in example like Ghenna which was were they threw dead bodies and trash into.
Would the fire be an example of the Holy Spirit and fire which Jesus came to baptize with? In which when we are mean, or their is a sense of burning in our heart when doing wrong to another it is by the Holy Spirit in wishes to burn out the trash for an example ?
Please feel free to comment and add to this, thank you,
