Anger in relation to the

Bible
They say in the bible that thou
shall not kill but in a quote in the
bible it says "I'm telling you that
anyone who is so much as angry
with a brother or sister is guilty of
murder" (Matthew 5:22).
So God is saying taking anger out
on some is just as sinful as a
murder.
