You will always be subject to God's law. So if you think you got away with murder or the breaking of any of the other commandment's, guess again. The One Truth Today points out that anyone that is angry with his brother, or calls him a fool, or says RACA, will be subject to God's judgement and His supreme court and can be in danger of the fires of Hell. If you call someone an idiot or continue to harbor malice of the heart against someone you will guilty in the eyes of the Lord for your actions. You are always responsible for your choices and actions and you will be rewarded or punished accordingly. That is why it is important to confess your sins and ask for forgiveness from the Lord!
