Es Lo Que Está Adentro Lo Que Cuenta, Parte 2

Jesus says calling your brother 'fool' sends you to hell—what does this ancient word really mean?

This episode is part two of a sermon series titled 'Es Lo Que Está Adentro Lo Que Cuenta' (It's What's Inside That Counts), focusing on Matthew 5:20-22. The host, Irving Ravelo, introduces the message delivered by Adrian Rogers through the voice of Lenin de Llanón. Rogers begins by discussing Jesus' teaching on anger, distinguishing between caustic anger, disdainful anger, and condemnatory anger. He explains that calling someone 'fool' (Raca) in biblical terms implies moral perversion and leads to hell, emphasizing the severity of internal attitudes. The sermon then addresses whether all anger is sinful, citing Ephesians 4:26-27 to show that righteous anger against sin is permissible but warns against letting anger fester overnight, which gives the devil a foothold. Rogers outlines a five-step progression of anger: bitterness, anger (slow burning), wrath (explosive), clamor (shouting), and evil speaking (malicious words). He refutes the psychological notion that venting anger is beneficial, referencing Carol Travis's book 'Anger: The Misunderstood Emotion' which states that expressing anger increases it. The episode shifts to the theme of righteousness, contrasting the self-righteousness of the Pharisees with God's imputed righteousness. Rogers uses the analogy of a bank deposit to illustrate how believers receive Christ's righteousness as a gift. A parable is told about people trying to enter heaven with passwords like morality, religion, and humanitarianism, all rejected until one humbly relies on Christ's cross. The sermon concludes that the human heart's problem requires the new birth through faith in Jesus, ending with an altar call for listeners to accept salvation. The episode closes with promotional content for the series 'Edifiquemos sobre la roca' and a testimony from a listener in Barcelona.
