Answer 2

TO THOSE THAT ARE OF THE KINGDOM OF THE HEAVENS

The poor in spirit, they that mourn, they that seek righteousness, the merciful, the pure in heart, the peacemaker, the persecuted, those falsly accused for the sake of the Lord and savior shall have a great reward Matt.5:312;

Rev.20:1-6 [ the heavenly first resurrected are with Jesus coming down out of heaven from God Rev.3:12 to resurrect all in Rev.20:12,13 and most will receive the rewards promised in the sermond on the mount and be saviors and rescue a great number of the resurrected John 12:47.48 of Acts 24:15; John 6:26-29; Dan.12:2; Isa.26:19 Heb.9:27 It is appointed unto man once to die and after the judgement
!Cor.15:22-28,51-53 As in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive for the 1000 year reign of Christ to save all possible and make all new Rev.21:1-5, 8 is those of the second death. Rev.20:7-10 is the final cleansing of earth before everything passes into the kingdom of God and God is all and all and all is perfect ];

Answer 3

I have no problems with anything on the sermon on the mount, or any part of the bible. After over 36 yrs. serving God, Yet I am still learning, I think that I have learned how to live for God. I am not a novice about the Bible

Answer 4

I'm not sure what you mean. Are you asking if I pick and choose out of the Bible those parts that I'm comfortable with and only apply those areas to my life while telling the Lord that certain areas of my life are my business and I'm going to do what I want?

I don't know about you, but that's something I would never consciously decide to do. If some area of my life isn't in accord with not only the sermon on the mount but any other area of God's Word then it's because God hasn't yet revealed it to me or because somehow I've deceived myself since as it is written:

Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it? 10 "I the LORD search the heart and test the mind, to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds."

But since I have fellowship and accountability with and through other Christians I don't think that I have any glaring discrepancies between my life and what the Bible teaches about how to live it. The part of the sermon on the mount that drives me to live a life chacterized by prayer and rigorous self-examination is this part.

"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?' And then will I declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.'

"Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.

And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it." Matthew 7:21-27

As a matter of fact, a couple of years ago the Lord put it on my heart to memorize the entire sermon on the mount, all three chapters and sometimes when I'm standing in a long line or trying to go to sleep I recite it in my head so that my thoughts are set on the Lord.

"You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD GOD is an everlasting rock. Isaiah 26:3-4

Answer 5

The only two I have not yet fallen away from are divorce and fasting, only because I have never been married and I have never fasted for God. All other sins mentioned I and I would have to say everyone is gulilty of.

Answer 6

"do no longer choose or you too will be judged." - regrettably this signifies that i'd be judged as I somewhat have judged others. notwithstanding it is my well-known. also, examine: "Christians in difficulty-free words please"... it is staggering that those who do not position self assurance in God are so convicted that they ought to pipe-into God-based discussions each and every time the prospect promises itself. It now and again looks they prefer to reaffirm themselves of ways sensible they are... or possibly subsequently they in basic terms can't examine.
