Discuss Matthew 7 Page 32

Many give lip service to JESUS Mat 15:8 , but are not Born Again John 3:7 . It is they who lose out and are turned away Mat 7:22,23 . Salvation comes through JESUS CHRIST alone. It is a gift and cannot be earned Eph 2:8 . If GOD were to ask you why HE should let you into Heaven, what would your answer be? Would you tell HIM about your good works or give ALL credit to JESUS? Eph 2:9 KJV Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Pray for others that they may do what is right in God 's eye. Also that you also do the same.

The lords words are so clear about the people who are church wolves in children 's clothing.. There is away that seems right into a man or a goat but the end is destruction he that has an ear let him hear they that are Gods sons hear their fathers voice they that hear not they are not sons of God

That we ought to abide by every word spoken by our Lord Jesus Christ!!!

Hallelujah!! God is the one with a fair judgement. Humans are un fair.

Hello Marvin and Joni G.: Under this Dispensation of Grace if a person have not followed Acts 2: 38, what Peter declared on the day of Pentecost they are lost. There is no way around it. There will be a lot of people who will say LORD, LORD but will not enter into the kingdom of God, 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.

Hello April Carter: I would like to add to my comment. To judge means to for an idea, opinion, or estimate about any matter to criticize or censure to think or suppose However, in Jesus Christ the word judges. If a person is a sorcerer and the preacher tells them if they do not clean up their act and get right with God they will be lost this is not the preacher judging but God s word has already stated this, Revelation 21: 8. If a person is called a whoremonger and adultery according to the scriptures they will be judged. The scripture states that if a person has not the spirit of God, which is the Holy Ghost, they are none of his, Romans 8: 9. Then they do not believe to God. They are not Jesus Christ children. This is not the messenger words but it is written in the word of God.

Hello April Carter: I understand what you are saying, however it is not those who truly preach and teach the word that judge. It is the word of God that does the judging of people. There is an old saying, Don t shoot the messenger . The word of God is for the following, 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: When a preacher or teacher is quoting scriptures and those scriptures happen to find a person in their sin and makes them feel uncomfortable then they should thank God that he thought enough about them to correct them and give them a chance to change. When a preacher is speaking about fornication, adultery, liars, homosexuality all these things are against God then this should make a person want to change not get angry. However, humans do not want to be told that the lifestyle they are leading is against what God wants for their lives.

Jesus was speaking of wrong judgement. He wants us to judge righteously. And in order to do so, we must be right with God. Therefore, we must get right with God and then try to help someone else get right with God. And in order to help people, we must judge their actions and intent. Yes, we can know intent via discernment. The devil has people thinking that God doesn 't show us how other people truly are. That way, Satan can get us to believe wicked deceivers. People abuse this passage to excuse sin and or enforce acceptation of sins.

The word is written to confound confuse the wise of the world. That being said. That, that is written in spirit can not be understood in the carnal mind. So the Holy Ghost is the teacher not man. It 's very openly that none of these men understand God 's word.

I feel like the Lord wants us to lean on him. He wants us to ask him as we would ask our earthly father for something we need or want. It is not up to us to judge that 's Gods job.

With unconditional love for all life, a true Christian will not judge, slander, nitpick, or pray for selfish demands. A heart full of unconditional love has no room for fear or anger. That way is truly narrow. Sincere followers of Christ trust that prayers are always answered according to the Father 's will. Those answers may not meet their own expectations or fleeting desires. Spiritually mature Christians do not give lip service to a proclaimed faith while maligning all of creation. Using snippets of scripture to justify hateful actions leads through the wide and open gate.

A beam was used to hold up a ship. The wider the beam the more stable it was. I am inclined to believe that pride is a beam because it can have you lifted so high up where you think that your better than everyone else. It 's deceitful because when its in the eye of your understanding it can and will blind you from seeing the truth. "It 's the water of the Holy Spirit holding you up and not the beam. " Remember when Jesus was in the boat and the storm was raging. The disciples were scared but because they had Jesus he spoke to the wind and said peace be still and it became still! A beam wont protect you in a storm of Satanic doubt and unbelief but the Word of God will. You will find God 's word when you rest in the spirit of God continually. His spirit will keep you from pride because pride forms judgment and pride comes before a great fall! SHIPWRECK FAITH

You can take things, especially scripture, out of context and think you know what something means before considering the setting, or without reading the chapter.. that will give you context. It always comes back to the same thing that people ignore. We all behave differently. This 'judge not ' is meant to be a warning not to be prejudiced towards others because of racial or cultural or even personal differences in the way others behave. In other words it is wrong to judge other 's behavior based on your own standards. This scripture applies to other 's behavior or lifestyle, and not someone 's harm to another.

I had a family of filthy pigs , who abused their children both violently, and sexually. I was very upset to see my church deliver a large basket of food to them. Was I wrong?

Jesus is teaching his deciples and us not to judge without being able to look at our own lives. sometimes we hypocritically want to judge others with one measuring stick and use quite another for ourselves and our friends. He didnt say not to get the mote out of your neighbor eye just make sure your sight is clear of something larger than the mote, sometimes we avoid correcting people or telling them the truth because we have done something in the pass. But this tells us get the beam out sothat we can help our brother remove the mote

Jesus Is teaching us that there will be those false prophets who will come to deceive the children of God by their false prophecy ,so as children of God we have to be aware of that kind of people ,by listening to the spirit of God ,

It keeps me away from judging others.

The devil is transformed into an angel of light. I believe that God gave of His Holy Spirit to be able to discern who or what is a false prophet. You will know them by their works. Never accept anyone on a first impression. If it were possible could deceive even the very elect. Penny I have thought that Obama is the for runner of the false prophet The word teaches that the false prophet will not show himself till the church is taken out. 2 Thessalonians 2 I am planning on not to be here when that happens with my Lord 's help.

God is good all the time

JESUS EXPERIENCED GOD PERSONALLY AS EVERY CHRISTIAN SHOULD NOT JUST HEARERS DOERS

As people under the mighty GRACE OF GOD,let us pray at all time for wisdom to determine the sheeps from the wolves

It is a chapter full of inspiration.I love the gate of hell cannot prevail.

Ask if you have notice that the Lord could have put the words ask, seek, and knock in order but God is so wise that He put it this way so we can see that we have to ask take the first letter off all three words in the order God put them in we have to Ask and is shall be given.

our father is judge..

God recently showed me in the spirit many dry and dusty roads that curve that lead to death and destruction.But the God showed me this straight road that leads to life.I have been battling my will over Gods and he has made it very clear I need to choose his will over mine by showing me the joy of doing his will verses the emptyness and ultimatley death of doing mine.
