See Matthew 18:15-20 and Matthew 7:3-5
Give me a Book, Chapter, and Verse.
◄ 1 John 4:3 ►
Every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.
Be careful GISMYS this also applies to you and me.
if we cut other people out, we get cut out.
if we fail to forgive, we will not be forgiven.
if we prejudge and reject, neither will we be received.
In the name of Justice where all are made one in Christ Jesus,
there is no division between Jew and Gentile. Remember this.
So if you are rejecting half of Jesus' flock, the gentiles under natural
laws in a separate fold, then how can you be one with God in Christ Jesus.
I agree that if gentiles reject truth, if they reject others, they are also rejected the same.
But GISMYS if they reject you because you reject them, you are equally at fault for this.
Remember which audience you are speaking with.
If you are speaking with Pharisees who commit to follow the law,
then yes you rebuke the Believers by the same laws.
But with Gentiles under natural laws, there is "due process" for redressing
grievances to establish truth. This cannot be done by rejecting and not listening to people.
Corrections are made by peers "receiving and hearing" one another, not judging and rejecting which never works!
See Matthew 18:15-20 and Matthew 7:3-5
Thank you and let us always forgive faults first
to open our relations to receive corrections and truth in Christ Jesus;
otherwise, if we do not ask God's grace and forgiveness first, to remove all barriers,
how is there room to receive truth if we are filled with rejection and negative emotions?
[MENTION=42952]GISMYS[/MENTION]
Can we please pray in agreement to remove all errors, all negative barriers and stumbling blocks from the process, receive ONE ANOTHER as children of God
and pray to RECEIVE God's truth through Christ IN PLACE of all negative blocks removed?
Bless those who persecute you. Don't curse them; pray that God will bless them
How can we have ROOM to receive God's blessings
if we have not first asked to FORGIVE and REMOVE
anger, judgment, rejection or hostility in our hearts
minds and relationships toward our neighbors?
Should we not REMOVE and discard the ill will and negative
fears and rejections FIRST, so that God's blessings of wisdom
and understanding of Truth and Justice can be received and fulfilled?
