Discuss Matthew 7 Page 35

No, he wasn 't talking about Muslims, considering the religion of Islam was not yet established. He was talking about those who claim or even believe they act on behalf of the Lord but by their actions do the opposite. Matthew speaks of those who will ask God to recognize the good works they have done in his name, but they are told to depart because they work iniquity. Iniquity means evil, wickedness. One may believe one is doing His work, but if you spread hatred and anger and sow dissension, you are not. There are countless examples of people who believe they act in God 's name but whose actions are inconsistent with the Gospel. By their fruits shall ye know them.

Matt.ch.7 1 5..Amazing verses. God 's word rings true always and the Holy Spirit convicts those who are true believers. This is especially true in this are of my own life. It is alot easier to see what someone else is doing wrong and we are quick with a solution to their problem, but often times miss the problems in our own life.

Never take Scripture out of context. Scripture interprets Scripture. Most folks have misjudged what the Scripture is actually saying and have totally missed the point. In fact, they exalt their own opinions above the Word of God. Never take Scripture out of context without knowing what it is really talking about.

If we continue in sin we bring upon seld destruction death...But if we abide in Christ Jesus word and love one another..etc we please God..and grow in all via the Holy spirit...also sharing the Word to the lost..planting the seed of life where ever possible..even when rejected or ridiculed etc..do it unto the Glory to the Lord..and walk away..dust off feet..love what is pure and what glorifies God..hate evil but not the person..and pray for one another in love..also study the Word daily..it teaches and speaks directly to our minds..all truth concerning everything..we ought to know..amazingly so!!Thank you father God..amen

When he said this, Jesus was addressing the question of how to distinguish between authentic and false prophets. To put it another way, He was providing a fool proof litmus test for evaluating others ' belief systems we judge them not by the words they use even if they claim "I have been saved " or "I believe... " but rather by the way in which their beliefs whatever they may be manifest themselves in their conduct in the world, and the effects they have on others. "Fruits " GK karpon means the same as "fruition " you can evaluate another person 's belief system only by whether or not their actions have a beneficial and inspiring effect on others around them whether they are kind, decent, and helpful, or self righteous, mean spirited, and oppressive.

ask and it will be givin to you seek and you will find knock and the door will be opened to you. what if you sought to obey all these words in the sermon on the mount. if you seek for that very good thing than you will stand in time of testing parable of the weeds luke 8

What does this mean though? I at first thought Jesus was refering to Himself the gate to heaven and the sheep fold but it seems to be preceded by descriptions of actions, like beware false profits. I am really confused?

Verse 13 I don 't know what the accepted interpretation of this is, but it seems to me he is saying that while the few will find life, the many will be destroyed. With over seven billion of us on this planet, we are the many.

I WILL KEEP PONDERING AND PRAYING ABOUT THIS SCRIPTURE. THE WORD OF GOD TELLS US TO WITNESS AND WARN ALL THAT THEY NEED TO BE SAVED OR THEY WILL PERISH.

In other words, to hear Him say to us on "that day " "Well done thy good and faithful servant. " I has to do the will of our Father 100 ? This leaves no room for error, and it scares me. I have been reading and trying to live it, but, I 'm still weak, I 'm human. I am not wanting to hear Him tell me to depart from me, I never knew you " Of course, I, like most want to hear Him say, "well done, thy good and faithful servant. " I guess He wants us to continue striving for the mark, continuing to shed of sin the crud of this world and to put on our "New man. "

the emphasis of dogs and swine turning again to rend you is emphasis of being attacked trying to help someone who does not want it and in turn shows their disapproval by doing such. The mindset is "Just save your breath and strength lest you lose it by wasting it. " Things that are not wasted are used for the good, therefore there is profit in not wasting and the lack thereof when you waste. you have no fruit with those who do not have a desire to hear the things of God. There is no return on that investment in other words. Don 't put your money there lest your account becomes depleted.

Why would the broad road to destruction need a gate on it? All of Adam 's children are born onto that road to destruction. Romans 5 12,18

amen i am trying to walk this walk everyday i pray that god give me everything to stay inline with him amen.

Always Ask, seek and knock the door of God 's kingdom. Believe me he will always be their for your help.

This verse shows the importance of not only reading the Bible and hearing the message, but also applying what we read in our personal lives.

Narrow is just that false reachings, half truths, and easy living may be how we interpret Salvation? For me only I sinned even though I were a Christian. Repentance for me was difficult and came later in life. I was not living by God 's Word, but though I was doing well holding on to certain verses and selecting to stand on certain believes that gave the most comfornt in my times of need. Perhaps I 've been on the wide road even though I called myself a Christian and have not lived the way God explains.

this is synonomous with Love thy neighbor as thy self in The Ten Commandments

This verse just makes me scared about how wonderful the kingdom of God is our God is real

I struggle with this verse because I cannot figure out if it ultimately means heaven or hell Or is it just talking about how we live in the here and now

when we ask we will receive the the wisdom of GOD when we seek his way by reading his word daily we will not have time to look at the mistakes of others because as we read the word of GOD the word will cleanse us from all unrightousness because we will be seeing our own mistakes and not have the time to see others mistakes Knock and the door will be open and we will not hear depart from me you that work iniquity If we walk in the spirit we will not fulfill the lust of the flesh

Randy read Romans 10 pay close attention to verses 8 10 You are correct God looks at the heart But the heart and mouth go hand in hand Romans 10 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation

This proves that you cant use one verse and make that verse what you want it to be For example Romans 10 13 says For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved In this Chapter 7 21 says Not every one that saith unto me Lord Lord shall enter into the kingdom of heaven but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven We must read the whole book and pray for understanding and if we pray from the heart the Holy spirit will lead us unto all righteousness Remember This we re not really praying until God speaks back

You create everything that happens to you by your intent and inward asking You ask and it comes to be by your thoughts which might not be what you are saying with you voice You can say anything from your mouth but what you get is what you are asking from within That is was is dominant

We must put forth effort if we want to please God First of Jesus says ask this means we must open up our mouths and talk to God Come to Him with words The fervant prayer of a righteous man availeth much Next we have to seek that means if we want God we have to look for Him whatever we need we have to diligently seek out the answer from God and finally Jesus tells us to knock If we are standing on somebody s front porch but never take the time to knock on the door then how will they know to let us in Same thing with God if we never pray if we never call on His Son if we never let Him know we want to be saved He isn t going to open the door and that door is to the Kingdom of God I do not see this verse as talking all together about financial blessings or getting a wife or a husband or a new job this verse is about asking for the Holy Ghost and the fire If we want the Holy Ghost then we must ask for Him and must not stop until God opens that door and pours His Spirit freely upon us

Can a parallel be drawn with a politician promising everything

Simply implies that it takes more than just repeating a prayer after a minister at church You actually have to know God and walk with him through faith in Christ by the power of the Holy spirit The scriptures say that even the devils believe in God You need a saving faith A faith that only comes by the mercy of God But many of us think we have it and will be terribly sorrowful one day

Many people say Lord Lord only for God to do for them and what they think and want, without seriously seeking the Lord for what He wants them to be or to do. Like Lord Lord,give me a brand new Mercedes while I spend your money on beer. Or more up to date is this: Lord Lord I am a lonely Sodomite so please give me a husband. The Lord does not do your will if it is evil or wrong for you so you must know and do His will by grace through faith in Him.We are saved by grace and faith but if this does not include right thinking and actions then you need to seek forgiveness and ask Jesus to help you get it right. And he will.Once you do enter into the kingdom of God then the Holy spirit lives in you and He will deliver you from the self righteous and unrighteous works of the devil. For this purpose was the Son of god was manifested that he might destroy the works of the Devil!! I hope this helps someone.

Jesus the son of God teaching the truth,that is True and false religion...Only two religions not more than that....True one ....Believing in him and witnessing the true God Jehovah by following Jesus other than that Satan the Devil with his varieties of religions even though they preaching n do miracles in Jesus name....The fact is be very careful cause Satan using Religions to trap each and everyone....only a few who know the true

22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I [am] God, and [there is] none else. Isaiah 45:22

DO NOT WORSHIP JESUS (PEACE BE UPON HIM). Worship only one true god, creator of the heavens and earth, your creator and creator of all things living and dead. Creator of Jesus , Moses, Abraham and Mohammad (peace be upon all of them).

If you worship jesus (peace be upon him) or any other but god, jesus will say to you:

"depart from me……"

...in Christian love; Jesus being God, said exactly what He meant to say..(What Jesus meant to say).
