Discuss Matthew 7 Page 34

I struggle with this verse because I cannot figure out if it ultimately means heaven or hell Or is it just talking about how we live in the here and now

when we ask we will receive the the wisdom of GOD when we seek his way by reading his word daily we will not have time to look at the mistakes of others because as we read the word of GOD the word will cleanse us from all unrightousness because we will be seeing our own mistakes and not have the time to see others mistakes Knock and the door will be open and we will not hear depart from me you that work iniquity If we walk in the spirit we will not fulfill the lust of the flesh

Randy read Romans 10 pay close attention to verses 8 10 You are correct God looks at the heart But the heart and mouth go hand in hand Romans 10 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation

This proves that you cant use one verse and make that verse what you want it to be For example Romans 10 13 says For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved In this Chapter 7 21 says 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 We must read the whole book and pray for understanding and if we pray from the heart the Holy spirit will lead us unto all righteousness Remember This we re not really praying until God speaks back

You create everything that happens to you by your intent and inward asking You ask and it comes to be by your thoughts which might not be what you are saying with you voice You can say anything from your mouth but what you get is what you are asking from within That is was is dominant

We must put forth effort if we want to please God First of Jesus says ask this means we must open up our mouths and talk to God Come to Him with words The fervant prayer of a righteous man availeth much Next we have to seek that means if we want God we have to look for Him whatever we need we have to diligently seek out the answer from God and finally Jesus tells us to knock If we are standing on somebody s front porch but never take the time to knock on the door then how will they know to let us in Same thing with God if we never pray if we never call on His Son if we never let Him know we want to be saved He isn t going to open the door and that door is to the Kingdom of God I do not see this verse as talking all together about financial blessings or getting a wife or a husband or a new job this verse is about asking for the Holy Ghost and the fire If we want the Holy Ghost then we must ask for Him and must not stop until God opens that door and pours His Spirit freely upon us

Can a parallel be drawn with a politician promising everything

Simply implies that it takes more than just repeating a prayer after a minister at church You actually have to know God and walk with him through faith in Christ by the power of the Holy spirit The scriptures say that even the devils believe in God You need a saving faith A faith that only comes by the mercy of God But many of us think we have it and will be terribly sorrowful one day

Many people say Lord Lord only for God to do for them and what they think and want, without seriously seeking the Lord for what He wants them to be or to do. Like Lord Lord,give me a brand new Mercedes while I spend your money on beer. Or more up to date is this: Lord Lord I am a lonely Sodomite so please give me a husband. The Lord does not do your will if it is evil or wrong for you so you must know and do His will by grace through faith in Him.We are saved by grace and faith but if this does not include right thinking and actions then you need to seek forgiveness and ask Jesus to help you get it right. And he will.Once you do enter into the kingdom of God then the Holy spirit lives in you and He will deliver you from the self righteous and unrighteous works of the devil. For this purpose was the Son of god was manifested that he might destroy the works of the Devil!! I hope this helps someone.

Jesus the son of God teaching the truth,that is True and false religion...Only two religions not more than that....True one ....Believing in him and witnessing the true God Jehovah by following Jesus other than that Satan the Devil with his varieties of religions even though they preaching n do miracles in Jesus name....The fact is be very careful cause Satan using Religions to trap each and everyone....only a few who know the true

22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I [am] God, and [there is] none else. Isaiah 45:22

DO NOT WORSHIP JESUS (PEACE BE UPON HIM). Worship only one true god, creator of the heavens and earth, your creator and creator of all things living and dead. Creator of Jesus , Moses, Abraham and Mohammad (peace be upon all of them).

If you worship jesus (peace be upon him) or any other but god, jesus will say to you:

"depart from me……"

...in Christian love; Jesus being God, said exactly what He meant to say..(What Jesus meant to say).

Matthew ch-7 verse 6 says to me; Don't give away your salvation to hang with the unholy, for this would be giving away your most valued treasure. These unholy people will/can drag you to hell with them if you don't put God first.

I believe the fruit referred to in Song of Solomon 7:13 may be the same as the treasures referred to in Matthew 13:52. Jesus said that scribe who becomes a disciple of the Kingdom is like one who brings out of his storehouses treasures he has laid up, both new and old. The maiden, likened unto the Bride of Christ tells her beloved she has laid up for him fruits new and old. Therefore, we, as the Bride of Christ and the disciples of the Kingdom must lay up fruit, both new and old, for our Beloved. What is this fruit that we must lay up, then ? Quite a few references to spiritual fruit can be found ( Galatians 5:22-23; John 15:1-17; Matthew 7:15-20...). However, I think the mystery lies in the new and the old. Jesus wants us to seek it out, to decipher the parable for ourselves. What is the new fruit and what is the old fruit ? When we have dug deep we will discover the answer and can lay up all manner of those pleasant fruits for our Master.

Matthew 7:21. What that place is telling us is that, we should not be hypocrite, we should do the work of our father which is in heaven with the whole of our mind.

God love every body

The blessing does not come in hearing the word but in doing the word

I am responding to the verse 14, Tobi's questions. It is not saying that the husband or wife will be saved or go to heaven because the other one obeyed the gospel/is saved. It means that the unbeliever might be won over by as the believer's exemplification of living a godly life. The other might be made holy (santified--Greek translation means, hagiasmos...holiness. As each person is responsible for his or her own soul. If the he or she choose not to obey God's teaching, they won't be and cannot be saved.
Babies/children are not capable of sinning so they will go to heaven. A person have to be able to be accountable for their sins, able to understand.

" Matthew 7:21 Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven {will enter. Just because a person obeyed the gospel, it doesn't" mean they are going to heaven. One has to obey and live their life according to the God's word. If someone goes back into the world and start doing the same thing they did before put on Christ in baptism, they will not make it to heaven. Repenting is a change of heart/lifestyle. God's does not leave or turn his back on us....ever. We are the ones who leaves him. Romans 8:35-39. I hope this helped.

Do you think Jesus was talking about Muslims when he says depart from me ye cursed any thoughts 

What Jesus meant to say in Mat. 7:6 was: Do not reveal your holy secrets to the wicked (whoever they are) least they will trample them under their feet, and turn again and rent you."

MUST CHECK EVERY WORD THAT IS SPOKEN BY AMYONE IN LIGHT OF SCRIPTURE. I CAN DISCERN THE TRUTH AGAINST THE FALSE PROPHETS BECAUSE I SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES DAILY TO SEE IF IT IS SO.

One of my favorite Biblical quotes...

I LOVE THE BOOK OF MATTHEW IT6 TEACHES US ABOUT GOD AND HIS TEACHINGS LIKE JUDGE NOT JESUS SAID IN HIS OWN WORD S JUDGE NOT AND YOU WILL NOT BE JUDGE MATTHEW 7:1

those who don't endure or repent finds the narr0w gate to heaven, be prepared for the wrath of god because he will come like a thief. our brother and sister are in the image of God; how dare i judge god! the lord gave to those what he sow and the law and prophets is the demonstrating, the measure you give is the measure you will receive. it is doing the will of god is the the fruit of the wise, foolish does the work of darkness which becomes false prophets and anti-christ. put your energy on you and the lord and be not of this world. amen come lord jesus shalom

Ask it shall be given
seek it shall be found and
knock and it shall be opened unto you.
Here we should ask which is well pleased to our Lord
Seek the kingdom of god first and then every thing required to us in his will, will be given;
knock the door of Gods kingdom then it will be opened is the meaning of Mathew 7;7

I think the main issue here is that people are confusing discernment with judgment. We really need to understand there is also scripture that says to put these things away from you with a malice, how if you do not discern the evil or sin in these things can you put them away from you. How can you not entertain evil or sin or wickedness if you do not call it by its name? How is it that everyone is afraid to say the truth. I believe the scripture we are discussing reads: judge not, lest ye be judged for with what manner you judge you will be judged. so if your trying to be ugly or hateful then it doesn't really matter if your judging or not because you've already crossed the line. but if you see a friend headed into trouble and you say (with love) this is not what God wants you to do then judging has taken on a totally different aspect.

I pray, for a beautiful wife, and a home to have , before I found out how many grandkids , I would have to take to church. I also prayed for the Lord, to make it harder on me and not my friends and family, which he did , but know I await my wife, even though I may know whom she is I await to see, what and where she may find me or I may find her. It is terrible, that it seeems as if everyone knows but me, excwept for I know, my faith will not let me down, nor will my Lord, because of the Blood of his begotten, Son, Our SAVIOR OF THE wORLD, tHANK yOU jESUS FOR ALL THAT yOU HAVE DONE FOR us.
