We must remember the Hebrew word for Raca is Chacha, which means worthless. So Jesus is telling us that if we get angry, and call our brother or sister this term, then we are in danger of the judgment. If we call our brother a fool, then we are in danger of Hell fire. The Greek word for Hell is Gehenna which was a valley in Hinnom where the Jews word burn their garbage. This is a sign of the fires of Hell in the final judgment. So guard your heart, and be angry, but sin not.
