in Matthew 5:22 (below)
Jesus said that anyone who
is angry with his brother
"without a cause" is in
danger of judgment.
Keep reading to find out
why the removal of this
phrase makes Jesus a
NLT have removed the
phrase "without a cause"
from this verse. By
removing those three
words the publishers of
these bible versions are
saying that anyone
whoever gets angry - no
matter how silly the
reason - will be in
danger of judgment!
But that is not what
Jesus Christ said!
He said if you are angry
He said if you are angry
without a cause, then
you are in danger of
judgment. See the
difference?
This is a critical error on
This is a critical error on
the part of the publishers
of the ESV, NASB, NIV,
and NLT because the way
they have written this verse
they make Jesus a sinner
because He got angry with
the money changers and
with those who were selling
animals inside God's house
of prayer. Then Jesus
kicked them out of the
temple! Now, according
to the King James Bible,
Jesus Christ had "a cause"
to get angry with them
and kick them out. These
sellers and
moneychangers had
made God's place of
worship into a shopping
mall!
But the ESV, NASB, NIV,
But the ESV, NASB, NIV,
and NLT versions say Jesus
Christ is in danger of
judgment because he got
angry! I would not want to
be those publishers when
they face Jesus at the
Judgment Seat of Christ
and explain why they did
that!

5:22 But I say unto you,
That whosoever is angry
with his brother without
a cause shall be in danger
of the judgment: and
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.
