And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done. Balaam answered the donkey, "You have made a fool of me! If I had a sword in my hand, I would kill you right now!" Matthew 5:22 The Greek word for brother or sister ( adelphos) refers here to a fellow disciple, whether man or woman; also in verse 23.

Matthew 5:21 You have heard that it was said to the ancients

When I get into an argument or a fight I feel that it is necessary, if things get really heated, to step away from the situation for at least a few moments to allow myself some time to think and calm down. This is not a bad thing. I would sin more often if I didn’t give myself the break. But I also have the tendency, at times, to put these things in the past and not deal with them anymore. This might be okay if I’m forgiving a sin of someone. It’s not okay if it’s just being angry with them for a long time. This is exactly what Jesus says not to do. verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{ Out of your heart come evil thoughts, murder, unfaithfulness in marriage, vulgar deeds, stealing, telling lies, and insulting others.

Later, we read of the penalty for murder being death in the Law of Moses (Exodus 21:12). Killing someone is a big deal. It is no small matter. The end of Genesis 9:6 tells us why it is such a big deal, “for God made man in His own image” (Genesis 9:6b).

Jesus says that those who are guilty of breaking this Law are “liable to the hell of fire”. Remember, the Law was not homicide, it was committing murder in our hearts. The hell of fire was Gehenna. It is an actual place that came to mean the place of eschatological punishment. In our language “Gehenna” would mean “Valley of Hinnom”. It is a ravine south of Jerusalem where horrible, horrible practices like baby sacrifices were made to the pagan god Moloch (2 Kings 23:10, 2 Chronicles 28:3; 33:6: Jeremiah 7:3; Ezekiel 16:20, 23:37). King Josiah saw the place as disgraceful because of what had gone on there and made it a dumping ground (2 Kings 23:10). And, it is thought that, in Jesus’ day it was filled with trash and had ongoing smoldering fires that would consume the trash. This place came to symbolize the place of eschatological punishment. In other words, this horrible place came to symbolize the place of eternal punishment for all those who died in rebellion to God. And it is here that all those who have broken God’s Law deserve to go. Strong's 1537: From out, out from among, from, suggesting from the interior outwards. A primary preposition denoting origin, from, out. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:Strong's 2588: Prolonged from a primary kar; the heart, i.e. the thoughts or feelings; also the middle. Let me give you an illustration of how this could work out in church. The Lord’s Supper is being passed out on a Sunday Morning. At the other side of the church there is a person who made you so very angry a few weeks, months, or even years ago. You should put down your bread and juice and go speak with them, reconcile before partaking because we want all that we do to be acceptable to the Lord. For the person who is not a believer, you are quite possibly for the first time able to see yourself as you really are: a murderer at heart. You see yourself as a person who needs saving. The good news is that God the Son came to Earth for your redemption. He lived a perfect life and kept all the Law perfectly. He fulfilled it for you. And He died on a cross, paying the full punishment for your sin. You can go from being a murder at heart who is in rebellion against God to being in a right relationship with Him.

I had a friend that would go to church on Sunday but act so incredibly worldly throughout the week. He was having sex before marriage. He was getting drunk on the weekends. But, I would see him on many Sundays at church. It was graduation Sunday. The Sunday where graduates would be honored and my church did something extra embarrassing and made us wear our cap and gown to the Church Service. So, we were recognized in front of everyone in our cap and gown. My friend, didn’t realize it was graduation Sunday. Well, he was graduating with me in a few days, so he knew that much but he didn’t know that he would be on stage. He was hung over from the previous night and now he was also the only graduate who was not wearing a cap and gown. He whispered loudly in my ear that he was hung over, everyone around him heard and now it was my duty to make sure he got where he needed to go. It was a mess. We made it through. And, lots of people saw the hypocrisy of it all. For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, acts of adultery, other immoral sexual acts, thefts, false testimonies, and slanderous statements.

A new MP3 sermon from Grace Fellowship Manchester is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: There is something else that should greatly concern us as believers. It is whether God will accept our worship. Is God pleased with our worship if we worship angry? But, Jesus defines murder as much more than homicide. You see the Pharisees, who taught the Law, believed that simply not committing homicide was enough to keep God’s Law. This commandment is one that seems relatively easy to keep, and is kept by most people alive today…otherwise we’d all be dead. They hadn’t reached the right conclusion about the Law though. All of these are issues of the heart. How could a court be able to judge whether or not a person has anger inwardly. And then to use these derogatory terms doesn’t send a person to a council, but to the “fire of hell”. This is an inward attitude that sees another human being as worthy of death. We are not talking about a murderer who is worthy of execution. We are talking about getting angry at someone and killing them inwardly. To have a disdain like this for another human being is a heart attitude equal to that of murder. It is also the attitude of heart that leads to murder.For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, and slander. So, everyone who is ὀργίζω, which just means angry, is “liable to judgment”. Then, he says, whoever says, ῥακά, which is not just an insult. It is a very derogatory term. It is calling someone “empty headed” or a “fool”. When this term was used it was more than just an insult. It is like calling someone worthless. Then, Jesus says that the person who says, “You fool!” will be liable to the hell fire.” “You fool” is the word μωρός. It again carries with it an idea of worth. It is very derogatory.
