The Sin of Anger

What did God say about murder?  The sixth commandment tells us: (Exodus 20:13) “You shall not murder.” Why is murder so important to God? (NASB) Genesis 9:6 “Whoever sheds man’s blood, By man his blood shall be shed, For in the image of God He made man.” Anger: what did Jesus say about anger? (NASB) […]
