Jesus went on to say that, if we so much as call our brother "stupid," it is the same to God as if we murdered them.

Oh?

Sort of. The point is that as far as God is concerned, sin is sin. From a human perspective, insulting your brother is nowhere near as bad as killing him, but to God, both are sins.

This is the point Jesus was making. From the NIV:

"...anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell."

In danger of Hell's fire, just the same as if you killed someone. Got it?

I knew you did.
