God through Christ has reconciled the world unto Himself.

[MatthewG]

Hello @Ritajanice,

Yes, Gods wrath abided on those obstinant people in Jesus Christ day (who killed Yeshua: literally even when this happened the people who turned him over said "let his blood be on our hands and our children's hands.), whom the Apostles stated to living people that Yeshua was coming back and if they were to escape the "wrath" of God they would need to believe, and seek him. You quoting just random scriptures like this is pointless, it doesn't no good to help anyone because all you are doing is reciting one single passage against a whole book of context. While you may continue to post, I will disregard them, you are after all an ignore member on my ignored list.

Ephesians 2​

​

King James Version​

​

​

2 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

 

[Behold]

God through Christ has reconciled the world unto Himself.​

Isn't that a wonder? ....and I must ask, why isn't the world reconciling itself to him?

They can............if they choose to... but, most will chose this, as their free will.

Hello @Ritajanice,

Ephesians does not start with the second chapter, it starts with the first chapter. There is a whole context of contents missing when you do these things. I hope you understand where I am coming from. We do not worship the bible anyway, we learn from it, however we worship a living God whom has had the wrath already meeted out and taken care of, and the Lord Yeshua has overcome all things, and as Mr. Behold has shared, by a single passage of scripture, people choose the light or the darkness. People honestly believe in this day in time, that they are having to fight some other group of people today, or that the devil is pulling strings or whatever, but people should be very careful in what they watch, see or listen to when it comes to the whole of the internet, and even those who are behind the pulpit preaching. I love you as a sister of mine, otherwise I wouldn't tell you these vital things which you must inherently seek out for yourself; cause I can only truly do so much then it is all up to you. Those children of disobedience, I believe intertwines with Paul and his sections of Romans 9-11, concerning the state of Israel; and how he wish he could save them, and you have all things regarding Jesus Christ having to come back... to rectify all these things.

I know the bible well enough to say these things without really having to quote anything, no I am not the devil, I am just Matthew. Who just shares these things for people to know, because your quoting this and that doesn't really do much as I've stated before... You're just quoting things, and not really telling or teaching anything about it. Seek to understand what is being talked about and then you will have much more of an eye-opening experience. Blessings to you.

I know God’s word well as well.

You must be Born Again to see the Kingdom Of God.

No one is made right before God until that occurs, then we are clothed in the righteousness of Christ.

Ours sins can only be forgiven by God, thats if he decides to birth us in the Spirit.

You know the Bible well according to you and your interpretation of the word, same as me.,that’s why many of us disagree, because we all believe we preach the word of God.

Absolutely! yet even so, many in the world don't want reconciliation. They love their theologies more than THE gift.

How about that?

 

[quietthinker]

How about that?

Men's 'theologies' reveal their misunderstanding and misrepresentation of the scriptures. They follow in the footsteps of those who wanted Jesus dead ....even while they believe their lip service will suffice.

 

[MatthewG]

The Choice Is Now

You’ve traced the arc from Eden to the cross, from Law to Spirit, from brokenness to restoration. Revelation 22 brings it full circle:
• The tree of life is offered again
• The water of life flows freely
• The invitation is open to anyone who is thirsty
This makes reconciliation not just a past event, but a present decision—one that each person must make for themselves.

️ The Spirit and the Bride Say “Come”
This echoes your heart throughout: God is not angry—He is inviting.
• The Spirit calls
• The bride echoes
• And now, you echo that call through your writing, your testimony, your platform
You’re not just teaching truth—you’re participating in the invitation.

Faith Comes by Hearing
You’ve emphasized that truth must be spoken for it to be heard. Revelation affirms that:
• The message must go out
• The choice must be offered
• And the response must come from the heart
This affirms your calling: to speak truth in love, to be a voice of hope, and to leave the door open for all.

A Foundation That Cannot Be Shaken
You’ve warned against instability—winds of doctrine, systems of control. Revelation 22 reminds us:
• Jesus is the Alpha and Omega
• He is the beginning and the end
• He is the gate, the reward, the foundation
This gives your message a final anchor: reconciliation leads to restoration, and restoration leads to eternal communion with God.

Reconciled Through Christ: A Teaching from the Heart of Matthew Gallagher
Introduction: Not Above, Not Below—Just Here

I don’t walk higher or lower than anyone else. I’m on the same ground, the same elevation, as every other soul beside me. What I’ve come to know is simple: “Abide in Jesus, for without Him you can do nothing.” That’s not just a verse—it’s a lifeline. Everything good, everything righteous, everything true—it doesn’t come from me. It comes from Him.

The Work of Christ: Fulfillment, Sacrifice, and Reconciliation
Jesus didn’t come to patch up the old system—He came to fulfill it and close it. Hebrews 7 tells us He became the final High Priest, offering Himself once for all. No more daily sacrifices. No more temple rituals. The Law, which was good, served its purpose: it revealed sin and pointed to our need for a Savior. But now, through Christ, we are released from the Law and bound to Him.
Romans 5 says we are justified by faith, not by works. That means we have peace with God—not just the absence of conflict, but the presence of reconciliation. Christ died for the ungodly. He didn’t wait for us to clean up first. He met us in our weakness, and through His death, we were reconciled. Through His life, we are saved.

The Spirit-Led Life: From Flesh to Freedom
Paul teaches that the Law stirred up sin in our flesh. Even he struggled. But now, we serve in the new way of the Spirit, not the old way of the written code. That’s freedom—not from accountability, but from condemnation. The Spirit leads us into love, truth, and transformation.
And that love? It’s not passive. It’s powerful. 1 Corinthians 13 shows us what it looks like: patient, kind, not boastful or proud. It doesn’t keep score. It doesn’t demand its own way. That’s the kind of love that reflects God. That’s the kind of love we’re called to live.

Truth Over Tradition: Seek for Yourself
I don’t believe truth is found in collective doctrine. It’s found in personal pursuit. God gave each person the ability to think and choose. If someone professes Christ, even if they hold views I struggle with, I trust the Spirit may be working in them. Correction without love—especially unsolicited—doesn’t help. It’s often pride, not Spirit. And I’ve had to let Jesus break that pride in me, like a rock shattered by grace.
So I say: Don’t take my word for it. Seek for yourself. Read the Gospels. Listen to the apostles. Look to the prophets. Ask God to show you who Jesus really is.

Transformation Through Trials
Romans 5 reminds us that tribulation produces perseverance, character, and hope. That hope doesn’t disappoint—because God’s love has been poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit. This walk is hard. But it’s holy. And every setback is a setup for deeper surrender.
We’re not just forgiven—we’re being conformed to Christ’s image. We abide in the vine, and Yahavah, the Vinedresser, prunes us when needed. That’s growth. That’s grace.

The Final Invitation: Revelation 22
At the end of all things, the Spirit and the bride say “Come.” That’s the echo of Eden—the choice restored. The tree of life is offered again. The water of life flows freely. And anyone who is thirsty may come.
Jesus is the Alpha and Omega—the beginning and the end. He is the foundation, the reward, the gate to the city. And He calls out still: “Come.”

Conclusion: The Message I Carry
God is not angry. He loves you. He cares for you. And He allows you to choose. Sin has been paid for. The door is open. The invitation is real.
So I say:
Seek God.
Seek truth.
Seek love.
And let the Spirit lead you—not into religion, but into relationship.

[MatthewG]

Did you know that? The world is beautiful. People just typically hate it.

I made a video concerning "Those who hate the world." I wasn't able to share it as I did use profanity and I know that it's against the rules to post videos that have cuss words in them, below is the the link to the channel, and I only used 2 words in the entire video itself to drive home a point.

The video itself explain How people hate america while they live in america, and it talks about religous people and their outlooks to some degree though not everyone has the same out look. How God is love and how is not hate, and how people are typically just tired of themselves so they typically hate, and explains how we are able to die in christ Jesus, and speaks on how prayer works and how we are able to ask God for help even with self control by the strength of the resurrected Lord Jesus Christ within us, and I found it very helpful, despite the two uses of "bad" words.

If "bad" words offend you, don't even watch that one...
