Matthew 7:21 - 23

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. Many 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? And then I will profess unto them, I never knew you, depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Matthew 7:21 - 23
When Christ returns most people are going to tell Him the nonsense they are told in churches. (When praises go up, blessings come down). They are going to tell Jesus He should be impressed with the useless activities done in church. That He should ignore what they let happen outside the church. (Abortion, same sex marriage) The truth is Jesus doesn’t work through you because you are so good, but because He is so merciful.

Who in the world do you think you are to know what "most people" are going to say to Jesus Christ when he returns??? Have you attended all of the "other" churches and do you know what they teach? You should possibly eliminate the words them, they, or all, and just use I or me!!!!! No where in the Bible have I found your name as being the judge of all other Christians or denominations! Perhaps you should just concentrate on how you're going to impress Jesus when He returns???!!!!!

Did you read the scripture? What do you think many means?

TexaCan Loc: Homeward Bound!

Yes !!!!! I read scripture.....chapter by chapter verse by verse.....just like you and those of your church harp on!! Yes I know what many means! I have not taken on the responsibility of 'teaching' the Bible! You constantly insert your opinion and your words in the interpretation of scriptures, such as your constant judgement against 'all' churches and all others that don't believe as you. All churches are not this evil entity that keep proclaiming in every 'lesson'......And what exactly do you want us to do about abortion and same sex marriage? "We" did not support it, no more than we support murdering anyone!

Do you really think that we are going to tell Jesus that he should be impressed with anything that we did ???? I'm going to be on my knees thanking him for loving me enough to die for me and I think most people will be doing something similar, NOT bragging about what we did !!! You have an extremely low opinion of your brothers and sisters in Christ and judge them according to your opinion. Do you not ever see the good in others or the good and sincerity in many of our leaders and teachers in our churches? Not everyone is a false prophet just because he doesn't believe or teach as you do. I wish that you could see more love and joy than this constant 'darkness ' that you teach that consumes you.

=====================
The purpose of praying in the church. We go to church to celebrate the joys in the Lord Jesus Christ.
We read the Holy Scriptures. We thank Him, praise him, sing for him, and glorify him. We also celebrate the Holy Eucharist, that is the new and everlasting covenant with Christ.
Mathew: 26:26
While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks, he broke it and gave to his disciples, saying "Take and eat, this is my body to be given up for you."
Matthew 26:27
Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to his disciples saying, "Drink from it, all of you" "This is my blood of a new covenant, poured out for the forgiveness of sins." "
Do this in memory of me"

Jesus also said, when two or more are gathered in my name, I am in your midst. The church is the holy place of God to gather and celebrate His holiness.

Praying:
Matthew 6:5
And when you pray, do not be like hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues, and on street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they a have received their rewards in full.

Matthew 6:6
When you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to the Father who is in heaven. Then the Father who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Try standing for God's word among these weirdoes and perverts. Saying God doesn't like it so we shouldn't do it. Try taking up a cross and following Him.

fredlott63

Try obeying Him. Luke 6:46 There are no public closets.

That means there are many false teachers and false prophets, and you are one of them.

That is what you claim. But Satan is really deceptive.

Hope Jesus takes you back! Peace!

You and those like you are the reason Christians are called judgmental hypocrites!!! You don't have a clue what I do or what I don't do! You spend more time judging and criticizing than 'teaching' scripture. Why don't you worry about your relationship and actions and let the rest of us worry about ours!

The Lord is good, a strength and stronghold in the day of trouble; He knows those who take refuge and trust in Him.
Nahum 1:7

You then, why do you judge your brother or sister ? Or why do you treat them with contempt? For we all stand before God's judgement seat.
Romans 14:10

Do not judge,or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use , it will be measured to you.
Matthew 7:1-2

I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has
Given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand
John 10:28-29

I ain't judged nobody.
