130th Post Jesus Said About Hell Con't. - Matthew 5: 22-30

Matthew 5: 22 - 30.
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. Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift. "Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still with him on the way, or he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. I tell you the truth, you will not get out until you paid the last penny." "You have heard it said, 'Don't commit adultry.' But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If you right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than your whole body to be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell."
This passage comes from the beginning of Matthew chapter 5, the beginning of Jesus Sermon on the Mount. This is about a year and a half into Jesus earthly ministry on earth. This will be continued on the following posts.
