Discuss Matthew 7 Page 25

Using any other name than Jesus contaminates the word of God. Yes Easter is not in the Bible and it was first the Jews in the old testament doing this for SUNrise services in Ezekiel 8:16.
Mark 7:9 And he (Jesus) said unto (The Jews) them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.
Matthew 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
Matthew 1:25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
Calling Jesus Yeshua or whatever spelling is a denial of the new testament scriptures.

Traditions of man make void the word of yahovah.
the rapture theory, the pagan word easter and even the celebration of yahshua's birth on a pagan holiday
contaminate any holy worship to yahovah. ?

Some have asked what the New Testament says about judging others, etc.
Matthew 7:1
Luke 6:37
John 7:24
1 Corinthians 4:5
Concerning unforgiveness, whether in the past or the present: If we don't forgive others, God will not listen to our prayers.
It's not a feeling. It's an act of obedience no matter how others hurt us. Some of need to forgive ourselves. That was hardest fo me to learn. A really great DVD to watch on the subject, is The Shack. Might find it at Walmart. I had to watch it 28 times.

Matthew 7:1 is one. Link

Hello, why would you assume the KJV ever said 'skins'? Other translations use that word, but not KJV. KJV has always been 'bottles' and that is proven by looking at a scan of the original printing 400+ years ago which happens to be right here on this site: Link - Usually not a good idea to accuse others of things you haven't fully researched yourself then to ask people you don't know to 'repent' about it already being correct? Have you prayed to God before making these claims? Matthew 7:5

It could be man made. Do not put your trust in man but put your complete hope and trust in Christ Jesus. He is the only way. He is truth and He is Life. You have to enter through the Narrow gate. Matthew 7:14: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Choose this day whom you will serve.

Matthew 7:21 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
Luke 6:46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and (do not) the things which I say?
James 2:20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? verse 22,23, 24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
If you will read the book of James it will help.

On Isaiah 60: You are correct Alex. Jesus paid the price for ALL, yet not ALL will be saved. Look at Matthew 7:13 and 14. Then look at Matthew 7: 21, 22, and 23. This describes to me some of these apostate so called evangelists we are seeing today. Ie. Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copeland, and many others who fall into their false " prosperity " teaching. We are to count the cost in following Christ. It's as easy as just asking Him in, yet we have to follow Him and only Him. We all know through life's experiences that it's not all that easy. I fall short each and every day, and all I have to stand on is His grace. Again, He paid the price for ALL, yet ALL will not be saved.

Lord forgive me, a sinner.

...but tonight, Christ's Father willed for Christ to open up my heart to accept it, and He gave me wisdom through SEEING what He DID...Himself, though I've intellectually known ALL of this since childhood, basically, and it's been the thing God has made KNOWN to me since I was LITERALLY a SMALL child (that I feared God's will of persecution for my personal life). God chose some things for some people that are different than what He chose for the majority around said "some people." Like in Zephaniah 3:12. No matter WHAT a person does, GOD's will is the ONLY will FOR that person! And God doesn't always reveal things, so people WILL "friend of Job" and understandably disobey Matthew 7:1-5

C Lewis - I agree with you we are saved by Grace through faith. James 2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. Matthew 7:21 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. ( 2 Timothy 3:16 - All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:) Read ( Matthew 25) its all good not just the verse that makes us feel good.

It's very nice

True believers are those in whom the Spirit dwells and they as a result have a fruit of the Spirit namely; Love,goodness,joy,patience,temperance,faith. Etc
Gal5 22-23

I advise with love; 2 Timothy 2:15 View whole chapter See verse in context
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Be truthful and a zealot about your Christian faith. Repent daily of your shortcomings and pray in Christ's awesome name: Isaiah 11:2 View whole chapter See verse in context
And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; Matthew 7:7 Pray and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

Matthew 7:21 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. Luke 6:46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

Matthew 7:21 not everyone that says Lord Lord shall enter into the kingdom of heaven but he that DOETH the will of my father

Yes I agree Shane it is what is in our Heart that Matters and this is shown in our Words and Actions Matt 25:31-46 even in our Judgement of others1Cor 2:15-16 which yes we are told to do but not with an Unloving and Condeming spirit as warned in Verses1-5 but according to God's Truth Jn7:24 We too have Sinned and caused Jesus to suffer greatly and our Abba Father who because of His Great Love for us was Seperated from His Beloved Son when Jesus bore our Sins on the Cross 1Pe2:21-25 - Is54. Good and Evil cannot be in Unity that is why when we come close to God in Holiness Satan flees James4:7-17. Than having The Mind of Christ we will All be in Unity. Ephesians6:1-22.

Chapter 7 is one of my favorites,why because it talks to those who profess christ,but follow man.verses 21-24 really stands out.How do you know you are a true follower of christ?

Sounds like you're trying to rationalize not believing in God's Word. Are you yourself THINKing? Matthew 7:5

There is no prayer of sinner soul streams of sceams there is lifestyle and athians or phases that stomble too sayings there is stroms there speak you peace!

not So, in the new testment Jesus is in the Temple with his disciples and their are to men making prayers the One prays how he is better then the one standing beside him an gives a list of things he does in his life justifying himself but the other feeling not even worthy to raise his head BEATS on his chest and confesses he is a sinner a beggs for forgiveness here are two payers which are which

mary B: Thank you for your response and I agree, the prayer offered by the sinner in Luke 18 is not specifically a prayer that most have learned if they have grown up in an evangelical church. However it is my belief that it is more a matter of what is in a persons heart, than a matter of the words spoken. As Jesus says in Luke 18:14, "This man went down to his house justified".

At S: while Luke 18:13 is well and good, it is not the sinners prayer that so many profess as salvation.

At S: while Luke 18:13 is well and good, it is not the sinners prayer that so many process as salvation.

At S: while Luke 18:13 is well and good, it is not the sinners prayer that so many process as salvation.

At S: while Luke 18:13 is well and good, it is not the sinners prayer that so many process as salvation.

How about this? Luke 18:13

Yeah but the thing is that there's no such thing as a sinners prayer. It's no where in the Holy Bible.

Yes we must except the Lord Jesus and believe but that alone won't save unless we turn and follow him. Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. plus verse 2 -- Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, but he that doeth the will of my Father

You can have confidence in salvation, follow Jesus and be obedient at the same time. It's a false assumption to assume that just because the Bible is true about losing your salvation in Hebrews 10:26 that a Christ follow must live in fear? No, if you're following Christ in obedience you have freedom. Matthew 10:28, John 14:15, Matthew 12:31-32, Matthew 7:21. I believe what the Bible says. Hitler would go to heaven according to your once saved always saved belief.
