🔸️ 'Anger' should be known as the sin that leads to hell 🔸️

The word 'unjust' is unfortunately added to the verses of the Lord Jesus while mentioning about anger in the Tamil Bible as "one who angers his brother unjustly". But that word is not in the original root Bible. It's the fact for any man on Earth to have justification or reason for being angry. So the word 'unjust', which Jesus didn't mention, is diminishing the strength of the truth of the New Covenant. So in the proper sense, it is true that whoever gets angry with his brother will be subject to judgment" 

(Matthew 5:22).

The second step of anger is, "Whoever says that his brother is in vain will be subject to the judgment of the council." That is, saying 'his brother is of no use at all' is equal for approaching the Supreme Court for the crime.

This anger grew and Jesus said in the third step, "He who calls his brother a fool will be in hell." At first, anger appears inwardly, then treats the brother as ‘vain’ and then at the third step saying ‘stupid’ would driven the person into the wrath of the hellish standard. 

As the effect of angry in the New Testament is so severe that Jesus said, "If you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has any defect against you, first go and be reconciled with them; then come and offer your gift" (Matthew 5: 23,24).

Why did your brother complain against you? Because, you have developed an evil mindset of being angry at your brother in your heart, and as a next step, you have treated that brother as 'vain', and next, you have inflamed your private anger in your conversation and uttered the word 'stupid' against your brother! That word has harmed your brother and that's why the brother has now complain on you!  

I only have to apologize to my brother for the anger that arose in my heart which caused this defect!!

Prayer:

Our Loving Heavenly Father! Help us not to get angry with anyone at any time! If we get angry, please have mercy on us to reconcile with them immediately! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
