Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
22 Many will tell me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, didn't we prophesy in your name, in your name cast out demons, and in your name do many mighty works?'
23 Then I will tell them, 'I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.'
19 "And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hear your lies?"
Specifically where it says- ".....to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live....."
My first thought was about our court system that coddles rapists and murderers and there's no justice for the victims of these crimes, and panders to irresponsible women who use abortions as birth control.
Who wrote Ecclesiastes??? Solomon??? Even he saw the stupidity of letting the wicked go free.
Ecclesiastes 8:11
"Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil."
1 Timothy 1:
8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;
9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
I'm in favor of the death penalty for the worst offenders: murderers and rapists (of men, women, boys, girls, babies and animals. Fornication outside of marriage is a horrible sin.)
What do you think?
The Word of God teaches us in 1 Cor. 2:14 that the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them because they are spiritually discerned.
This is why those communicating their messages in this 'forum' so often use the word 'discerning' while the 'Word of God' is not of any private interpretation ( 2 Peter 1:20). This is why it also teaches; that anyone that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man ( 1 Cor. 2:15).
Furthermore, the Spirit of truth cannot be received by this world ( John 14:17) as this whole world has been deceived ( Rev. 12:9).
May we suggest you search the words 'a world deceived' an learn how you may know the difference between the 'natural' and the 'spiritual' body ( 1 Cor. 15:44).
Seek, and ye shall find ( Matthew 7:7).
Please remember, the above words are not our words but from the 'Word of God' and they are according to the 'Spirit of Truth' ( John 14:17).
It is God's will for all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth ( 1 Timothy 2:4) but not everyone 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 ( Matthew 7:21).
Many will say unto me 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? ( Matthew 7:22).
And then will I profess unto themI never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity ( Matthew 7:23).
The first prerequisite to start your journey of repentance is to be able to acknowledge that you are a sinner and separated from God. This has been made almost impossible because of people's natural conditioning ( Matthew 19:23-26), as the devil (your natural spirit) has you convinced through man-made teachings and religious doctrines, that you are a child of God ( Matthew 15:7-9).
To keep the way of the tree of life, does that mean to keep the way open or to keep the way closed? Two trees were in the midst of the garden and only one of them was forbidden. Does that mean they could have eaten from the tree of life at any time?

You has said something a few days ago (I can't find it) but it had to do with false teaching and how it might impact those who might be new believers.
Anyways, in my study today in Romans, a couple of verses pinged my memory and got me thinking about this.
Romans 16:17 says, Now I appeal to you, brethren, and listen to this, the command:
Mark them which cause divisions and offences.
The word mark is the work SKOPOS. We get our word scope from this word. And it is in present participle form in the Greek, which means continue to observe.
Be continually looking at those who cause divisions and offenses (SCANDALONS) contrary to the doctrine which you have learned.
Paul said in Galatians Chapter 1 that if anybody preaches any other gospel than that which he has preached, let them be accursed.
That's pretty bold and authoritative. If they preach contrary to the doctrine which Paul has taught and has given them, mark them. That's command number one. Command number two is avoid them. The word avoid means to go out of your way to avoid them.
Romans 16:18 gives us the characteristics of these people:
For they are such as serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; which is a term that is used for their own satisfaction.
And by good words.
Interesting. This is the word useful. With useful words and fair speeches (and this is the word eulogy) they deceive the hearts of the simple.
The word simple in the Greek text means nave. With useful words and fair speeches, they deceive the people who are nave.
These are those who may be the most vulnerable to any teaching that might be contrary to scripture.
Any thoughts?
Luke 13:22 - And he (Jesus) went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.
Luke 13:23 - Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he (Jesus) said unto them,
Now why is this person is asking this question? It is like this person is telling Jesus, "We get the idea from you, from listening to your teachings that there are not very many people that are going to be saved because you just eliminated 99% of the people. Are there few that be saved?
Luke 13:24 - Jesus says, " Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able."
The word "strive" is the word AGONIDZO where we get the word agonize from. Agonize to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
That is when this life is over. Jesus said in Matthew that the way of destruction, the gate is Broad, the road is broad. But the narrow gate and the straight road, and He says that there are very few that find it. So do you think that Jesus made it easy?
Only those people that had a heart for Him are the only ones that are going to go through that narrow gate and walk that straight road and give up the only life that they have by surrendering their life to Christ.
Luke 13:25 - When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:
Luke 13:26 - Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.
"Hey, didn't we eat dinner with you at the Pharisees house? And we drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets. You were at that street evangelism sermon that we heard."
Will continue as Part 2
I often think about this. What if the sinful nature did not pass down to each human. Would there ever be anyone who lived life without sin? I think not. If Adam had not sinned then, he would have sinned later. If we did not have the sinful nature in us we would be influenced by the sinfulness of others and succumb to sinning. So, God was not being harsh when He consigned every human over to unbelief and disobedience. In doing so, no man can ever think or say that they were completely righteous and worthy of eternal life let alone be the savior of others. No man can pay the price for every human. It took the Son of God becoming THE Man to save us. Only God can pay the infinite penalty of humanity's incalculable wickedness in our sins which were an infinite offense to Him. And only a perfect human could be an approved substitute for mankind.
When we are resurrected, we will be glorified and be made perfect in our humanity, like the humanity of Jesus. But Jesus will always be, not only the perfect human, but also God. We will be like Him in His humanity, but never like Him in His divinity.
There is only one God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) and He is One LORD. ( Deut. 6:4) Let us worship Him as He has revealed Himself to be, not how we "make" Him to be. We must guard against idolatry, whether false beliefs about Him or the false belief that we will ever be like Him in His Godhood. "You shall have none other gods before Me". ( Deut. 5:7)
Lord, help us to "lay down our idols and the thrones we have made, all that has taken your place. Lord, I will bow to You, to no other God, but You alone." (from the Song Lord, I Will Bow to You)
Interpretation of the verse "there is no fear in love"
1 John 4:16-18
"16-And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 17-Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. 18-There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love"
What does it mean that "one dwells in love, in God?" It means that they love both God and people, especially their brethern.
1. How is it shown that we love God? Answer, John 14:21, "He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.". So our love for God is shown when we obey His commandments
2. How is it shown that we love our brethern? Answer, 1 John 3:16-18, "16-Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 17-But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? 18-My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth."
3. What is preceding, love for God or love for our brethern? 1 John 4:20-21, "20-If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? 21-And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also"
4. What are the consequences if I hate my brethern? 1 John 3:14-15, "14-We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. he that loveth NOT his brother abideth in DEATH. 15-Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him"
1 God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.
(God stands in the congregation of the mighty people, the Lords and Judges of the nation of Israel, He judges between the mighty people that have authority on people's lives like they are Gods themselves, to imprison or to set free, to Kill or to spare life, God's representatives on Israel.)
2 How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.
(But although I placed you in my position, in the position of the righteous God, you don't judge justly, ...)
3 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.
(no interpretation needed)
4 Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.
(no interpretation needed)
5 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
(no interpretation needed)
6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
( I have said that you are like God to people, it is like you are Gods yourselves, as if you were my children, you stand in my position, you have been given the power and the authority to rule and judge on Israel like God does).
7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
(But because you are unjust princes my punishment will eventually come to you)
