| | ::My reading of the new testatment indicates that Jesus preached 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. When you say "his notroruiously stupid remarks," you sound '''exactly''' like Rev. Jerry Falwall, that is you are not trashing Falwell the sinner, but rather make reference to his foolish behavior. This is just as Falwell always said, hate the sin but love the sinner. When you refer to Falwell as a meanspirited blowhard, however that is ''ad hominem''--to the man (or sinner). Now, how shall we characterize "blowhard"? Is it akin to "raca", meaning worthless, or "fool", in danger of the fires of Gehenna? | | ::My reading of the new testatment indicates that Jesus preached 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.
