Anger leads to judgement; calling someone a fool leads to hell.
If anger and name calling were the sins that led straight to hell, I believe most of us would be doomed. This is what this passage tells us, at least at first read. But once we look at it in context, we understand the heart of Jesus does not want us to be in conflict with one another. Sometimes making up is hard to do, but it is what heaven is made of. Here, Jesus gives us an opportunity to experience heaven on earth.
