ANGRY … RACA … FOOL / MATTHEW 5:22

(KJV) Matthew 5:22

 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, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

Jesus is not speaking of a justified anger at those who are wicked and cruel (John 2:13-17). Rather, He is condemning the act of judging another out of anger and with the desire to harm or kill another person. “Reca” is a term of hatred and is much like calling a person an “empty headed fool.” Calling a person a “godless fool” in anger may indicate a heart attitude that places one “in danger of the fire of hell.”
