A true understanding of the law, reveals our true brokenness and a desperate need for a savior.
So can you murder under the new covenant?
Yes, you do it ever day.
Will you be chastens by God for your sins?
Yes, out of love God will teach you His ways and show you how YOU have hurt yourself and others by believing lies.
He says repent and turn to Him.
There is a problem here. A connection is made between anger and murder.
And this is anger against an individual not a behaviour or action.
So everyday we murder people. This is hyper-legalism which is certainly why
Ariel relates to g7 and his crowd.
Anger repression is often the most common psychological failing people suffer from
and irritations become desires to destroy someone because of something so small
the reaction is just absurd. And sometimes it does lead to real murder.
Jesus actually says this.
"But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, ‘Raca,’ is answerable to the court. And anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell."
The anger which is being judged is against a fellow disciple not anybody.
If it escalates to an insult, the court of the Lord will make a judgement.
If you say to a disciple "you fool" you endanger your salvation.
So anger in one context, Jesus is condemning. Anger in the general world
he is saying nothing about. And anger does lead often to murder or murder
results from frustration and the desire to literally remove someone.
So you see what I mean by hyper-legalism, taking something from scripture and
making it more than it is.
Ariel is saying we are all guilty of murder ever day. Not a chance.
I do not get angry very often, and against a fellow believer, I cannot remember
ever this happening. It may have happened, but my conscience is clear.
So it is easy for legalism to creep in, to define things Jesus is not saying and then
condemn oneself. Beware you do not give the enemy opportunity to define who
you are rather than dwell in the Spirit.
