Discuss Matthew 7 Page 30

This is directed to Michael C. (the one with the period after his "c")...

First off, I ask you to read Matthew 7:3-5..

I will be praying for what I see as a Spirit of pride that is seeming to make you feel that YOU are a better Christian that anyone else.. Some are strong in Faith, others need to ask for forgiveness for their weakness (meaning me..) I feel you are judging me. (The Lord's job?)

After my initial salvation 21 years ago according to the Word of God Acts 2:38 to bear His cross is to endure to the end. Matthew 10:22 To endure is to live in the Spirit by actively displaying the fruit of the Spirit Matthew 7:20 Galatians 5:22-23 God bless you all.

God has not given us the authority to judge so we should not judge if we don't want to be judged adversely.

Thank you

First are you Saved? Have you received Jesus as your personal saver. Do you have a Relationship with him? In Matthew 7:7). Ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find, knock and it shall be opened unto you...Bless you

Read Act 2

V.20 By their fruit you shall know them. Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith Meekness, temperance: Father, may I ever display your fruit that others see Christ and not me.

Deuteronomy 22:5, The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God. so now tell me what can you say about this the law God give to his people the way they most serve him, Matthew 7:13-14, tell it all so you better make your way pure before God, so you can be on that narrow way, thanks

It verse 9 tells us how to be good and to give good things to every one

God is always reminding us to have obedience on his words and accept God as our Savior, our Lord and the Lover of our Soul. Jesus himself is the word of God and he came down and shed his blood to us so that all of us will have life in abundance. We must keep thanking Jesus and praised him for everything he have done into our lives. We are saved by his Grace and he is faithful to his promises. Amen

yes!! we must always do the will of God. everything that he ask of us as his children we must do. just like a daddy and his child , we must be obedient to our Heavenly Father and his son Jesus.!!!

It speaks the true about jesus word

Thank you people very much. I've been searching for a study site, web page like this for a very long time. Sincerely sister in and with Christ Jesus.

Not by good deeds, but through Christ are we saved. There is no other way. That's why He died on the cross, for our sins. If there is another way then Christ would have died in vain.

May God's will always be done

as one preacher dealt with he said 'how you build is how you live'! if on the sand you will shift and be as reubn unstable as water! you will be as one that is tossed with every wind of doctrine! but if built on the rock there is a firm foundation stablness steady, not moved easily but as a tree planted by the water

These verses in context are talking about law and grace. BOTH gates are leading to heaven but one is through works or self efforts and the other is through grace faith in Jesus' works . Jesus is the GATE and he is referencing the SAME GATE in Mathew 7 both times. Romans speaks of the two types of Christians Jews and Gentiles and God says He will receive both however the carnal Christians Back then it was the Jews will live a destructive life here on Earth remember Paul pronounced a curse when he saw they were STILL teaching this after Jesus because you have to be perfect if you want to be under the law. Those under Grace who have a revelation of their freedom with ALLLL of GOD's promises aren't to flaunt our freedom where it would cause others to anger. offend in one area and you're guilty of breaking them all. By destructive I mean sickness with no healing cancer , no miracles seen that you can't apply logic to, just bad things in general that happen to Christians that are NOT supposed to happen but we accept these things because we have a form of Godliness and deny His power. Political correctness is of the world and you are not OF THE WORLD. Jesus said we would do all the things he did and more. Miracles are happening guys and we have POWER! If ALL OF GOD's PROMISES aren't happening in your life and you're just waiting for your heavenly home when you die, something isn't right.

We need to build up in God's word that we can be strong against the enemy. No word no power. Don't build on things in the world you will fall. Build on a solid foundation which is in Christ Jesus

A response to those commenting on verses 1-5. This passage has been twisted by a wicked generation in attempt to mussle those who would testify of the world's wickedness, warn against sin and death and call men to repentence with godly fear, zeal, and love. Christ's words v1-5 are intended to caution the reader against hypocracy, urging him to examine himself first. Many readers seem to ignore the second half of verse 5 "...then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye." So we are to help cast the mote from our brother, but only after careful self examination and correction, by godly submission, not in hypocrisy. The passage is not meant to silence those righteous who would reprove, exhort, and rebuke. This is the duty of the saints! 2Tim4. In fact all through the gospels and epistles we are given instruction on confronting and dealing with those in sin. "And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them." Ephesians 5 "Every day they wrest twist distort my words" Psalm 56 "...which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, twist distort as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction." 2Peter3

I see this passage as being very straightforward. It is a reminder that when we are pointing out flaws in others we ate ignoring our own flaws, and in the case of hypocrisy can be significantly worse for the accuser, than the accused.

MATTHEW 7 WAS MY LATE GRANDFATHER'S FAVORITE CHAPTER IN THE BIBLE, I LOVED READING IT OVER AND OVER TO HIM OVER 40 YEARS AGO AND HE WOULD JUST LIGHT UP WITH A SMILE THAT HIS 10 YEARS OLD GRAND DAUGHTER WAS READING TO HIM, AND THEN HE WOULD EXPLAIN EACH BIBLE VERSE TO ME AND I JUST LOVE TO HEAR HIM EXPLAIN ABOUT NOT JUDGING OTHERS LOOK AT YOURSELF FIRST. NOW, IT'S MY FAVORITE CHAPTER OF ALL TIMES.

39. Judge not, lest ye be judged Matthew 7:1. Why is this an issue? It seems to me that another word for judgement is meaning. And meaning is only what we assign to be. We are meaning makers. And what we make meaning of, we come to believe and we are what we believe. Even more importantly, when we are judging others, we are also in the habit of judging ourselves. And when we are judging ourselves, we come to believe those self-judgements and that tells us that we are stuck. Another offshoot of judging is that it creates conflict. So you can tell there is stuckness wherever there is conflict. Judgement Conflict. Conflict Stuckness.

THIS EXPLAINS ITS SELF IN THE VERSES JUST BEFORE IT --FALSE PROPHETS-- WE SEE THIS IN A LOT OF TV EVANGELIST TODAY AND LOCAL MINISTERS --NOT ALL--THANK GOD AND FALSE PROPHETS WILL ALWAYS BE HERE UNTIL HE COMES BACK AND GETS US MAY GOD BLESS YOU

verse 21 not every one who says onto me Lord Lord shall enter the Kingdom of heaven but he that does the will of my father which is in heaven JN 6:40 and this is the will of him that sent me that all that seeth the son and believeth on him may have everlasting life Mat 7:21 in that day many will say onto me Lord Lord have we not prophesied in thy name cast out demons in thy name and in thy name done many wonderfull works Rom 4 :4 now to him that worketh is the reward not recond of Grace but of debt but to him that worketh not but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly his Faith is counted for righteousness Eph 2:8-9 for by Grace are you saved through faith and that not of your selves it is the gift of God not of works lest any man should boast

You must not be driven or drift to destruction and sin that are been plan by the devil.

John 3:3-7 Jesus said that- "no one can enter the Kingdom of God unless he is born of water and Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh,but the Spirit gives birth to Spirit....You must be born again. " The Spirit that has to be born again lies within you in a dormant state in your sacrum bone. You do not seek material gain.You only seek to be born again as Spirit to reach God.Faith in God and adherence to rightism is of-course pre-requirement.

John 17:3 reveals a truth couched in simplicity, that, knowing Jesus is, the way, the truth and the life, and knowing 'about ' Jesus is not. Fans of Jesus know a lot about Him. I know Jesus personally as constant companion, the friend I worship. Knowing Jesus personally is how He transforms us on our walk through this life with Him. Matthew 7:23-24 is a companion scripture to John 17:3 because when we read Jesus telling the religious person, and I paraphrase, to get away from Him, that He never knew them, He is also saying to them, go away, you never knew Me. Shalom

Matthew 7 teaches us how to leave with God in purity, faith,and righteousness. "without faith, you can not please God ". Heb 11:6. We have to seek God diligently. Receiving Christ in your heart is the foundation of your faith. We have to walk in his light and be holy as he is Holy. We can go to church, we can preach, we can sing, we can do charitable works, but if we don 't strive to live a pure life, he will say. "depart from me, you workers of iniquity " on that day of the Lord. He knows our weaknesses, if we sin, we have an advocate in heaven. All we need is to repent whenever we sin. For sin is the sting of death. its poison will surely kill you if you don 't ask the blood of Jesus to cleanse you. Watch out! there are so many wolves in the skin of the lamb nowadays.

I think it teaches us to be very carefull, you know wolves in sheep clothing, and also casting out devils in his name etc and still can be workers of iniquity.

Man too often, does not do what he believes. He does what is convenient, then repents. He then quotes Matthew 7:1 while in denial of Matthew 7:20.

I love church!!!!!!
