Discuss Matthew 7 Page 26

According to Matthew 12:31-32 if a Christian chooses to blaspheme the holy spirit they absolutely will not be forgiven. Even angels already in heaven still had the freewill to rebel against God. Humans on Earth including Christians absolutely still have freewill and sadly do turn and denounce Jesus and commit blasphemy. The Bible is crystal clear those Christians will not be saved. Matthew 7:21.

please friend don't mix issues.the water here is the baptism,while blood mentioned is that shed on the cross.Believers in Christ are commanded to commemorate His DEATH and RESURECTION only.Birthday celebration is for non-believers.Mathew26:26-29 1st corrinth 11:24-25 John 3:5.Now about birthdays study Mark 618-29 the death of John and Genesis 40:20-22.The fuits of birthday: Matthew 7:16-20 12:33

Rodney- Jesus tried to help every suffering person he came into contact with regardless of their religion. We are to emulate the character of Jesus. Matthew 5:44 Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you

The Bible already covered this. The answer is no, you can't just do whatever evil you want assuming you're covered by grace and expect to get into heaven. Matthew 7:21, Romans 6:1, John 14:15. Even satan believes, so believing isn't enough. A Christian must follow Jesus which is an active role, not passive. Revelation 3:16. Satan has deceived people into believing they can sin all they want and don't have to be obedient or follow Jesus. The Bible refutes that.

Verse 6: An indication to exercise discrimination when giving or offering charity to those less fortunate. Should we give example to non-believers or followers of other religions if in dire straits? or is this just supporting the devil his evil doers? It is written 'love thy neighbor as thy self' but is this for neighbors who are believers in Jesus Christ? Lots to consider here...

Jesus is Lord

Hello, check out Matthew 18:3. Children up to a certain age of mental development are considered innocent and blameless. I believe those who die will go to heaven. God forgives us of sin with no limit on frequency or severity if we are genuinely following Jesus. 70x7 and far beyond. Heb 10:17. Note that many think they're Christians following Jesus, but are not. Matthew 7:21-23. God bless.

Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait IS the gate, and narrow IS the way, which leads unto life, and FEW there BE that find IT.

Thomas, you replied to my comment which already answered your question. Did you not look up the first verse? Other examples are easily found through search, like John 14:6, John 3:16, etc. A Christian is a follower of Christ. If you do not follow Christ, you're not a Christian. If you're not a Christian you won't enter heaven, no matter how 'good' you claim to be. Matthew 7:21-23 is proof.

"All sins have been forgiven forever. So, everyone will go to heaven, everyone. I guess Satan or no Satan, it doesn't matter."

These 3 sentences are untrue. Romans 10:9, John 1:9 One must become a Christian follow Jesus to be saved. Matthew 7:13-14 - most WILL NOT be saved and will go to hell. One of satan's lies is to convince people he doesn't matter or doesn't exist 1 Peter 5:8, 1 John 3:8.

The words in Matthew chapter 7 are Jesus words I can't change them or dispute them.

When in heaven's name did amy of us ever become perfect or will become perfect on this earth. The point is we are forgiven. We cannot on our own power get it right before judgment day. We have to solely depend on God. That is what getting it right means..relying on God. We cannot be perfect or get anything right before judgment day. Jesus is our perfector.

Verse 17 --Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 -- A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Not saying there is no second chance but we better get it right before we go to judgement day.

Strive to enter in at the straight gate. God does not bend his rules for us. When we keep God's commandments, and ask for things, he knows how to reward the righteous. He keeps his promises. Inwardly search your heart and see if what we do is acceptable to God. Judge yourself by the standards of Jesus. He is our perfect example, and he leads us to our Father in heaven. God wants saints.

I think no matter who you are or where you came from, GOD forgives through the blood shed of Jesus Christ. Some of us gets so high and mighty that we forget that GOD has blessed us to get there and no matter what you should always treat people with respect.

Read Matthew 7:1

Please read Philippians 3:2 Isaiah 56:10-11 Matthew 7:6. Those who are shut out of the kingdom of heaven are also so designated, Revelation 22:15. Persecutors are called dogs Psalms 22:16. As the dog was an unclean animal, the terms dog, dogs head, dead dog, were used as terms of reproach or of humiliation. Also referred to as very wicked and evil people.

Verse 4 shows the importance of making sure that we work on our own imperfections before being quick to point out the imperfections of others.

I find many Christians trying to take the easy way out. Believing that the sacrifice of the only begotten Son of God the Father is sufficient in which gives them the right to sin. We are not perfect, but Jesus stated " Be therefore perfect as your Father which is in heaven." Meaning we are to strive to be so. Read what Jesus stated in Matthew 7:20-23. The WILL of his Father. God bless

You are right there is a difference from a True Believer in Christ and a Sinner for when we become one with God we are made whole. A non-believer sinner does not reap the benefits of God which is giving on to us which is the main reason we are to become one with God and that is to have ETERNAL LIFE with him for as We Know the only prayer God heareth from a sinner is the sinner's prayer..REPENT!!

Hello, does this mean you do not believe all scripture like Luke 12:10? Since it clearly says those who blaspheme won't be forgiven, are you saying blasphemers are forgiven? opposite of what it says . Christians need to continually report and ask forgiveness of sin and try to not conform to the world: Romans 2:2. Matthew 7:21-23 is how Jesus will respond to Christians who deny Him. Rom 6:1-2.

I love this whole chapter. Mathew tells it like it is. I love Jesus and know by his stripes we are healed. Yes the gate is narrow but I know I love him because he loved me first. I thank God he sent his only begotten son. I have experienced many miracles and feel he is with me now. He loves us and I pray that everyone could know his love .Jesus will save you no matter how low you are just ask.

I do not ever want to hear those words from Jesus: I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Matthew 7:23. I know I am Born Again and covered by the atoning Blood of my Savior Jesus, but my mind has been under attack with really bad thoughts about Father God and Jesus burdening me daily. When these thoughts happen doubt and fear creep in and it is wearing me out. Pray for me

Most people, Christian or not, have difficulty with this and many other things in the Bible. The reason for this is because we are all human and all very flawed. It's difficult for nonbelievers to believe because Christians are human and flawed. We are all on this same journey together

Disbeliever: What did you say to them...and how did they respond? Perhaps they were the self professing “Christians” of vs 23 that Christ “never knew”.

Disbeliever
What did you say to them...and what was their response?

never pass judgement without cause, do not make false judgement,if you preach make sure it's to the word

Too bad too many "christians" I've met don't follow this "wise" doctrine.
