@@tony1685 I read the Bible daily. No Bible no breakfast no Bible no bed. Problem is well intentioned people read scripture & bring their own interpretation…..authority is needed…an understanding of who was writing & who he was writing to. God bless you in your honest search you will see the truth

[@triumphofihm525]

@@tony1685 the authority is not in anyONE person. It is the scripture, Tradition & magisterium. I have read the verses you sited in my search 25 yrs ago & found they were pulled out to stand on their own when they are meant to fit within the body of scripture in total. I agree the Holy Spirit does and will guide us. Again most well meaning Christians seek the Holy Spirits guidance but come to many different conclusions. I was aided by going back to the Church Fathers, the earliest Christians, to see how they understood the teachings of Christ & His apostles. There I found Christ’s Church. God bless you & thank you for loving our Lord & me 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

@@tony1685 they aren’t sola scriptura confirming arguments. Most are speaking of Old Testament since the New Testament had not been canonized or even written yet. Look to the 1st Christians to see how the understood

Very helpful insight into this reading from Holy Scripture. Thank you!

I can tell you there's a big difference between saying something is foolish, someone is BEING foolish, and calling that person a fool. The first is charitable towards the person, giving them the opportunity to separate themselves from an act. The second is more heavy, placing accountability for an act. The third makes the person feel irreconcilable, beyond help.

[@michaelhaywood8262]

The most explicit distinction between mortal and venial sin in the New Testament is in the First Epistle of John. As John was one of the apostles it is clear that it was also the teaching of Christ.

[@SheldonDsouza126]

One of the many other places in the synoptics that portray Jesus' divinity and not only limited to the Gospel of John. "You've heard it said... But I say to you...". No one in ancient or present times has ever superceded the Mosaic law like Jesus.

[@hallower1980]

"Seek reconciliation." That's the gist, I think. If "fool" in this passage means something like unbeliever, heretic, or apostate, then the accusation sets the accused apart. Murder is a total rejection of person, to the extreme of refusing even to tolerate the person's existence. If "raqa" means something like "empty", then it probably means empty of intellect or usefulness. To say "raqa" is to stop listening or heeding that person. At the most venial level, willful anger maintains some separation between persons. Anger is properly a response to injustice that moves us to restore justice. Like all emotions, it should be tempered to fit its role and be resisted when it fails to motivate one toward right action. There's a human tendency to hold onto anger even when we cannot accomplish the just ends we desire. Reconciliation and true peace require justice, but also mercy. Christ is telling us to forever be merciful "as your Father is merciful", to continue striving for reconcilation in hope of miraculous conversion.
