You could never do what Jesus commanded.​

Maybe TRYING to do what Jesus commanded with what you have is what's important to Him.

There's a 'parable' of this world saying, 'Practice makes perfect.'

For example, just imagine on that day Jesus happened to question us saying;

"During your lifetime of grace, progressively you practiced and made perfect reasonably many 'things' pertaining to the world.

I understand many of you also vary according to your 'ability', the 'things' you have achieved, even to some winning trophies.

Nevertheless, every one great and small, some or rather able to 'do' it based on your ability, that 'practice made you perfect' in some way.

But why haven't you done the same to my word/teaching, which GOD given and made with you in the New Testament of the Holy Bible?

Especially in Matthew 7:22-27, I further expounded?

Even when you do fall short, I've given you 1John1:9, to get up 'practice' again, and progressively, 'sin no more'."

you can never accomplish his work
He already 'accomplished' His work on the Cross saying, 'It is finished."

We henceforth have to 'accomplish' His given and made word/teaching in the New Testament with us church, as 'hearers' and 'doers', thus liken unto wise builders.

On the other hand, likewise 'abiders' and therefore bear much good fruit, as to accomplishing faith with works (2Timothy3:16&17).

Servants who continue on the contrary to these and other decree of the Master given and made with them, are liken unto foolish builder and rejected as workers of iniquity.

Shalom in the name of Lord Jesus Christ

One of the scary things is that the Bible says you need to point out your brother's mistakes, and then when you point them out, This becomes a horrible non-observance of another scripture, which is

2 Timothy 2:24
And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,

So readers, Jesus said to Himself to be a 'hearer' and 'doer' of His sayings in Matthew 7:24, since MatthewG can't do what He did.
do we learn that Jesus works within us, yes.
Do we learn that God works within us, yes.
MatthewG is a 'puppet' and Jesus controls the strings looks like it.

Hey, I am just saying you are not Jesus.

No one can do what he did...

You can be upset about it or continue to debate, but there is no debating to this.


Because of your attitude, I really dont even care to talk to you or hear you anymore.

So long as one agrees with him . You will find that in this late and last generation
often the ones that holler love , tolerance and lets all not judge
Do exactly what they accuse others of doing .
SO long as thou agreest with me and dont try and correct me , THAT Be their motto .
I have found the so called lets all get along and find common ground group
to be the most judgmental group known to man .

Matthew G is fantasising and sharing his made up version of the Gospel, faith without works.

For GOD does all the work through him and he need not lift a finger, for he just have to abide in Christ.

So convenient to 'debunk' other scriptures, and rather copy and paste out of context scriptures just to fit his 'fall short' gospel version.

Since himself a 'fall short' believer, thus make excuse of his imperfection, and his 'copy' and 'paste' out of context scripture says it all.

Shocking!
As even by grace i do know that IT IS HE who works through me ,
Read beware for many that use this truth
if you examine their fruits which often accepts and overlooks sins ,
Ye would have known THAT AINT GOD at work in them , THEY serving the flesh .
When men came along and started the idea that christanity is not about checks and boxes
and that we need to take GOD out of the box ,
What they really meant was OUT OF THE BIBLE and let us recreate one in our own image
that accepts our own sins . Many have no idea
WHEN GOD works through his own , Oh he uses men to correct sin and error within that church .
And while they will all say WE all have our gifts and GOD worksthrough us
And yet when one comeths along that is unctioned BY THE HOLY SPIRIT
to exhort , which sure do include correction , all of a sudden its
HEY dont judge , that is GODS job to correct . Rather odd
because GOD sets people in the church TO KEEP the church safe , to keep them
far from sin and the appearance of evil and to be doing good .
This generation was long ago lulled to sleep by men like rick warren and others
WHO actually went about to recreate and reshape The image of GOD and of CHRIST
into one that has now led them into hatred against truth ,
and a massive increase to love evil and to hate good .

2 John 1:
9. Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not GOD. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the FATHER and the Son.
10. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him GOD speed:
11. For he that biddeth him GOD speed is partaker of his evil deeds
.

Even satan disguise himself as an angel of Light, and it's not surprising in disguise he can be the god of those believers who do not 'abide in the doctrine of Christ in the New Testament.

Quoting a passage doesn't mean you can do what Jesus did...

Jesus does things in and through you when you abide in him.

You allow this to transpire through faith in God... Whom works on your heart and mind.


I know people love to play quote the scripture game, but the spirit overrides.

People can quote scripture all day and still not even understand the whole story.

you can never be jesus
True . But we are to walk as HE DID by the SPIRIT within us .
And I sure seem to notice JESUS corrected any and all errors when HE SEEN them .
As well as did the apostels
Their views on sin and disobediance
SURE were big time different on what i see many teaching today .
And that is why the churches fell and continue to only get worse .
SO i have a simple truth , a simple reminder for us all .
Rather than finding men and books which preach gravey and smooth things .
TIME to heed the ones who are grave and wont allow sin upon this people
And time for us all to do a pilgramige BACK into our bibles for to learn
for ourselves .
