Discuss Matthew 18 Page 12

Dear Boba Fett - I like that you appreciate the teachings of Jesus even if you claim that you are not a Christian. May I just add that aside from your entering a spiritual state every time you play with your lego, Jesus is telling us that "being a child" means possessing a humble and teachable spirit like children :)

disciple, so then apparently Jesus Christ was confused in John 14:26 when He said the FATHER would send the Holy Ghost and He must have corrected Himself then in John 16:7 when He said HE would send it instead? And in Matthew 18:20 apparently we are to expect Jesus Christ in the FLESH to sit with us as we gather and NOT the HOLY GHOST. And I'm twisting scriptures? Listen to JESUS CHRIST...

John 14:26 "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, WHOM THE FATHER WILL SEND..." John 16:7 "Nevertheless I tell you the truth....if I depart, I WILL SEND him unto you." Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, THERE AM I in the midst of them." JESUS CHRIST plainly identifies HIMSELF as all 3 manifestations. Go ahead

Matthew 18:15 doesn't say anything about whether you have forgiven the trespass or not, nor does it say anything about whether or not the brother has repented of the trespass. It doesn't say if thy brother has ought against you. It says, "if thy brother shall trespass against thee... ". Talk things out. Make peace with your brother. Don't look for excuses.

I Trust in GOD and will not be distracted. Prayers is what I need to keep my mind on JESUS CHRIST! I am a child of the KING! Having child like Faith

Jesus came to save the lost ones. We are grateful for the ransom of Jesus because without this ransom we would still be lost and with no chance of survival.

For the Son of Man has come to save for the losts. Thank you Jesus for being a good Shepherd to us We've lost once but you have come to give us life in abundance By your Blood you paid the price for us Thank you Jesus for your love mercy and grace Amen hallelujah

I BELIEVE IN JESUS AND GOD IS THE FIRST AND THE LAST AND AS MY SAVOIR.

this was so much encouraging me

Like the lord in verse 27, Jesus is willing to forgive all our sins so we can be blameless when we appear before Him at His Judgement Seat. We should also adopt the same posture of forgiving all those who trespass against us, countless times.

Love this passage

Jesus says, v. 3 except you b converted and become as little a child, you shall not enter the kingdom of Heaven. There is no merit in just acting like a child.

Although I'm not a Christian, it's nice to know that Jesus approves of my child-like behavior. When I play with my Star Wars Lego sets I become child-like even though I'm 38 years old and thus I enter a spiritual state of mind that can be called heaven...

PRAISE THE LORD JESUS WHO WAS SENT TO EARTH TO DIE IN OUR PLACE AND HE WAS SENT BY HIS FATHER WHO IS GOD. There is nothing on this earth we can do if we want to see Jesus one day but to do and live by his Word everything else is vanity and Act chapter 2 V 38 when U follow that first then you will be Saved. Then study the word and the bible will show yoU how to live ask Jesus to lead u to a Church were he wants U to be .because preacher are not like they use to be most of them now just want Money they will not help the people that need help but only help themselves Jesus is not please we shall reap what we Sow Amen

Anyone who studies scripture and concludes that the Son of man and antichrist are the same is very disturbed or under demonic deception. I pray to my heavenly Father, in Christ Jesus, asking God to have mercy on your soul and to heal you and save YOU according to His will. Amen Matthew 12:32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come. Matthew 13:37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man Matthew 16:13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? Matthew 18:11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost. Matthew 26:24 The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born. Luke 22:48 But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?

My youngest son referred me to this chapter regarding his older brother. I appreciate the fact I have somewhere to go for direction in dealing with our broken family. I hope we all realize we have a go-to book to give us guidance.

I learnt more information about Jesus Christ

Yes is true Jesus he is our saviour and out lord We are find by him we bow today and say thank you Lord

Praise the Lord for taking care of us and giving us love and mercy. It's only through his mercy that we are reunited with him, when you are lost in sin how sweet it is to be back in the arms of the Father. Amen

The guy that had his dad as a minister for 60 yrs. Thanks for your comment : This opened my eyes : Yes , I see that he came to bring back to man what was lost in Adam in the garden : A relationship and fellowship with the Father God. Praise God !!! He restored !

Before I came to developing a relationship with Jesus Christ, I knew everything as negative. Learning the scriptures gives me a powerful set of tools to use during hardship as well as the pink clouds that come and go. It provides strength I never knew before and how to remain positive.

I believe that this passage is also talking about forgiveness and un forgiveness and I believe that this passage is also talking about what I say : I can have what I say : If I talk doubt and unbelief all day every day : that is what I get : Talk fear : That fear will come upon me : Talk Faith and Blessing all day everyday , not only on me but on all and everyone that I talk about. I will have to give an account of all that I speak on the day I stand before Jesus Christ . As well as every one else. No one will be left out on that day !!

Matthew 18:18 is a powerful verse that equip Christian with power to overcome every activities of the enemy and to destroy their works and also to build up that which enemy has destroy.

It teaches about the mercies of God.GOD wants us to do unto others how we would want them to do unto you.And again that whatever we reject here on earth that heaven will also reject it and whatever we accept that heaven will also approve it for us glory toGOD.Comment*

This king james version is so amazing

This is powerful and very encouraging and it motivates me a lot .It tells me in the name of Jesus by his power given to me I have power over the evil one AMEN

Excellent verse for healing touch and agree for it.The Lord Jesus Christ paid the price for already.Thank you JESUS.

I learned that it is not enough to just say I forgive you. It has to be from the heart. People can say "I forgive you" but their heart is saying something else. The Lord demands it has to be from the heart. Thank You Lord, help me!

This chapter is helping us to deal with people because they do so much wrong but regardless we have to forgive and don't take no-one for granted you must pay your debts humble yourself away from Pride because this is not of GOD

Matthew 18 a very powerful chapter that speakes on many things teaching us how to humble ourselves and to cast away from us the offences we may have so that we could hear Him say well done my tried and tested servant, not depart from me you worker of iniquity I knew you not and also teaching us that our Father is watching us along with the angels how we treat one another holding grudges not forgiving then we turn around and ask the Lord to forgive us. I have come to realize that we cant get anywhere being at war with each other but if we come together in the name of the Lord He shall be in the midst of us. " Thats the key unity " Be Blessed!
