Discuss Matthew 7 Page 29

"Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets." THE GOLDEN RULE Not only for our behavior toward each other; (which truly would make a very wonderful world); but it has to do directly with the kind of divine character we ask from God for ourselves, and the way of life reflecting that grace without hypocrisy.

"Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine," We've most often heard this phrase used about speaking to those whom we would judge unfit for our holy words and wisdom from God. But in the context of how the Lord said it; its about our hypocrisy causing scandal to the holy name of Jesus, and the precious treasure of His Gospel that we've been entrusted with.

Even while Jesus Christ was on this very earth, religious leaders were corrupting the word of God and sticking to traditions rather than the scriptures. To this very day it has only gotten worse. Friends, we must study the scriptures. We can not rely solely on those claiming to be men of God. If we study our Bibles we can know the truth, and be truly content while we await salvation.

Verse 4 shows the importance of self-examination. We can become so focused on the flaws of others that we miss major faults of our own.

Brother Hiram; Maybe you haven't quite got your wording? The whole point of this Sermon on the mount is to show by our works out of a pure heart and a good conscience, what is the true grace of God. It is all by our works that we shall be judged; (read Matt. 25); and it is all by the quality of our faith that our works are acted out and that which shows us either wise or stupid as proven by trial.

Matthew 7:21-23 is explaining salvation by faith alone
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.What is God's will? John 6:40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life:
verse's 22-23 condemn works salvation

And some would say Christ is not Christ.

i am: Blessed are ye,when men shall revile you and persecute you and say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Matthew 5:11 /--- The servant is not greater than his Lord if they have persecuted me they will also persecute you--- John 15:20 / Enter ye in at the strait gate for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction--- Matthew 7:13

Matt. 7:15, 10:16; Acts 20:29; Ezek. 22:27; 2 Tim. 4:3; Jude 3,4,8,10,16,18.

Who has ears to hear? Is it not those that enter at the strait gate, meaning difficult, not linear. These teachings are not from one who possesses an ego or has ulterior motives. No, they are the truth from God which are purified seven times as silver from dross, with fire. There is no controversy. Hear and perform these commandments or suffer the fate of a hypocrite. Be not like the phonies

Put on The Whole Armour of God,that Ye may be able to stand against the wiles of The Devil. Ephesians 6:11 / Study to shew thyself approved unto God---Rightly dividing The Word of Truth. 2Timothy 2:15/and many False Prophets shall rise and shall deceive many. Matthew 24:11/You will know them by how they twist Scripture,deny others. Matthew 7:15-16.

We need to take the initiative to do good towards others the way that we would want them to do towards us.

Ask God:

He said "for everyone who asks receives." Matthew 7:8

Expect God to answer you and you may be in for a surprise. God answers those who are sincere.

5757:Yes, it is. You're right lent is not in the Bible. There is only one thing we could give up that The Lord desires of us. "Our Heart" We will be made new. 2Corinthians 5:17/Washed Revelation1:5/ You will beBaptized with The Holy Ghost: Matthew 3:11. / When: John 6:44, 1 John 1:9. / Which way is Right? Matthew 7:13-14.

In the beginning was The Word--- And The Word was made Flesh, and dwelt among us---John1:1-14/ ---and washed us from our sins in His own Blood---Revelations1:5 / No man can come to me, except The Father which hath sent me draw him:--- John 6:44 / you will be Baptized with The Holy Ghost and Fire:--- Matthew 3:11 / you will be made new! 2Corinthians 5:17 / --few there be that find it-- Matthew 7:14

Bud: Matthew 7:20 by their fruit you will know,just like you know a tomato plant or lemon tree./-- And washed us from our sins in His own Blood: Revelation 1:5/ No man can come to me,except The Father which sent me draw him-- John 6:44/ Forgiving 1John1:9/you will be baptized with The Holy Ghost and fire Matthew3:11/ if any man be in Christ he is a new creature 2Corinthians 5:17 -you will know!

Verses 14,15,16: go together. Our Savior said run, when you see these things taking place,don't even go in the house for a coat!
We need The Word in our life always. Without the word in our hearts we would listen to foolishness. Satan is a roaring lion seeking whoever! Eternity is before us, which way to go? Matthew 7:13-15.
Last call Revelations 20:15

You are quite the 'naysayer'. Being a Christian we are to lift each other up. Jesus' church of Acts ch. 2 - is still here. You just told people there is no hope by saying there are no churches that preach truth anymore. I've got a feeling you've been in 'contact' with His church ....... ? The one that preaches Acts 2:38 for salvation.

Mt 7:21ff teaches about being careful thinking that we can perform miracles yet neglect the main purpose which is to exposit God's word with full respect and truth. Many of us are driven by miracle performers who don't even dare to prepare or study God's word. Good preaching does not exist anymore in churches. Lets go back to basics.

Peggy: I do not know what bible you read from but the KJV Matthew 7 : 1 reads (Judge not that ye be not judged) Go to the KJV original bible of 1611 it also reads the same. Good study. Have a good day.

Matthew 7:1- This verse used to read- Judge not, lest ye be judged. But now it reads Judge not,
that ye be not judged. This verse has been changed. In our church Christmas play (2016), this verse was said how it used to read with the word lest.

Gerry: no one comes to Christ until the father Draws him. John 6:44. There will be a tug in your heart,Him saying you need Christ! Ask forgiveness, 1John 1:9, you will be baptized. Matthew 3:11, you will know, it's impossible to not know. 2 Corinthians 5:17.
Most Churches are in a sea of darkness they have a lot of activities but no Light! ---2 ways, Matthew 7:13-14

Matthew 24" is a powerful teaching from the Lord" If you build your house on a solid rock which is the word of "GOD" you shall not fall and the gates of HELL shall not prevail against it"

I like the chapter because there many great advice in it for example v4_5 we are to example our clearfully and remove whatever problems we are struggling with before we try to help others with theirs . Verses 7 and 8 admonish us to open our mouths an simple ask and we shall receive , behold him and he will open unto us .
A-Ask
S-seek
K-knock
He gives freely but we must do one thing ask.

Authority to judge? He doesn't say don't ever judge but be careful how. v:2-5,to who v:6,watch out v:15,how will you know v:16. Just like sheep will get tangled up or stuck in mud. Don't say I will never be in that mess I would never say or do that! I'm glad I'm not like you! For by what judgment you use you will be judged. By their fruits you know v:20. Don't push them deeper but lift them up!

Not only The Book of Mathew ch. 7 that is awsome, the entire Bible is, bcause it was inspired by GOD. People have written books

Thank you, Jesus!

That what i ask the lord Jesus Christ far everybody.to obey the holy spirit. He is lord God one of the trinity

I enjoyed this lesson. The Word of God is so good. I like how you explained that the heart and mouth work hand and hand.

God is Omniscience:knows all things,sees all things,and hears all things;God is Omnipotence:unlimited power,Almighty,and universal.These attributes of God should causes never to take our eyes off Him
