it means that you must think before you say anything and be sure of what you are saying. if we obey this command we will be trusted.

hi mamaw you are very much welcome to the online bible studies.hope you will enjoy yourself and learn more .may God bless you and your family.we love you.

i think a person who remarried after a divorce that wasnt caused by marital unfaithfullness ,live in a perpetual state of adultery.s/he should stick on the word.s/he should seperate in order to get back into God's will. our God is the God of second chance.s/he should call the partner and read the word of God to make things clear.the word of God says the truth shall set us free.if s/he is doing God's will,all is well. if s/he stays on that marriage:as long as you are involved in that marriage you comit adultery.Jesus said go and sin no more.as long as you kno the truth and not repent ,a fire of hell is waiting for you.God does not understand the sin.He only understand His word.it says :the wages of sin is death. Jesus said "not everyone can accept this word,but only those to whom it has been given......."

i think Jesus'disciples reacted so negetively to His teachings on marriage and divorce ,because they were on flesh.flesh is against the word of God.if they were on Spirit they were going to understand easily and they were going to accept it. they misunderstood because they said if this is the situation between a husband and a wife,it is better not to marry.

there is no law comanding divorce.even moses said it because of their were hard.the law does not regulate it.it is only for marital unfaithfullness.what God has joined together let man not seperate.

Jesus did not take either of the side.He was just standing on the truth. if someone divorces his wife,except for marital unfaithfullness,causes her to become an adulteress.if they do not reconcile they must not marry.they must stay like that. in detorinomi there is a contradiction.

Jesus treat all sins the same because there is no better sin.they are all equal to Him.murder is the same with insult .they are all caused by anger.we can be angry but not until sunset.

yes.most churches preach new testament only.not knowing that the new testament is hidden in the old testament and the old testament is revealed in the new testament.meaning they click together.christian legalism in a church is like too religeous.in a church where there are no moral standards and no obedience ,it is like hell.there is no peace.they do their own thing.they are totaly lost.

verse10-12 is about perseverence and verse 13-16 is about the fruit after perseverence.darkness does not glorify God.it is not His will.glory and suffering go hand in hand because Jesus suffered for the glory.we have to walk where Jesus walked in order to glorify His name.yes Jesus suffering was nessessary because of our salvation.and ours is nessessary also because it makes our salvation to be perfect.christlike life because of suffering

the danger in the life of a christian is to be lost.as we know that darkness makes people to be lost.they will definately get lost.

1.the symtoms of a christian who has lost his "saltiness" is to see things different from christians.he is no more the same.you will see him by his fruits.ther is no dignity.the old life comes back and the new has left him.it is not difficult for a beleiver to detect such symtoms in himself because the truth will show him the difference.as the word says if you know the truth you will be free indeed.secular people notice a "de-saltified" christian by thier walks and the attitude.other christians about me ,notice "love" .yes it is possible to "resaultify" your life by going back to the redeemer.

Q4. (Matthew 5:6) How can an intense desire for righteousness put you at odds with the world? What sort of righteousness is Jesus talking about, do you think? What promise are we given in this Beatitude? You will not do what earthly people do. Instead you will irritate them. I think the sort of righteaousness Jesus is talking about is to do the will of God. The promise we are given in the beatitudes is eternal life.

Q3. (Matthew 5:5) How does this sort of gentleness contrast with the world's ideal? How is humility important to Christlikeness? # The world's ideal is far frorm God. It may look good but does not satisfy God. # God's gentleness is to do his will and have the fear of the Lord. Christlikeness is incomplete without humility. When we humble ourselves God will lift us up.

-It is doing good and recieving blessings. -It is because the statement at the beginning sounds negative but the end is positive. -The fruit of the Spirit is a reward to the Beatitudes.
