Discuss Matthew 5 Page 39

We as Saints are responsible for behaving and acting like Christ. To let the world see you are different and not of the world but a peculiar people. By shining your light others will want what you have Joy,Peace , and Love.

I love the lord...he said be ye perfect for im perfect. saints hes expecting a people who will give all and follow. he wants us to take this thing so serious that the process leading to sin is sin. i thank him for leading me to this passage

Matthew 5 is beautiful and it reminds me of Christ on the cross asking father to forgive his persecutors because they knew not what they were doing.Christ is teaching us to forgive, love and pray for those who hurt us because he understand the works of the devil and how he can imprison someone and cause them to hurt others.I love this chapters message. Jay your friend need to confess to God and ask for his grace. Only he can reveal to her what is right or wrong for her.

I wish to reply to Jay. My people perish for lack of knowledge. the Bible does not make you a dumb fool. you have brains which God expects you to use. Plizz can the sister go ahead and marry her new found lover. that 's why God has brought him to her life. I faced similar situations. my husband had another woman in his life. I realized this after ten years. am still in tears, beaving all is well for I have kids I cannot support alone. he told me to do what I want with my life, imagine.so that lady should not be cheated that he will ever change. run for your life, fellow sister. yes. bible allows divorce on account of adultery.

this chapter sumarises the whole scriptures on Godly living.....blessed r those that read n understood wat it explains n does its will

This is my anchor scripture. God bless his word that can and will never lie, Amen!

Verse 27 29 "You have heard the commandment that says, 'You must not commit adultery. ' But I say, anyone who even looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart. So if your eye, even your good eye, causes you to lust, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. And if your hand, even your stronger hand, causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. " We must understand that Jesus is the way God spoke to us in the Old Testament, otherwise he would be correcting God when he says, "But I say unto you. " God does not contradict himself, nor does he allow anyone else to. The answer to this mystery is to understand that God is one God, but he has more than one way of dealing with us, or more than one personality. But Jesus is the way or the personality through whom God spoke to us in the Old Testament, and the way he speaks to us now. God 's will for us is progressive. That is, he does not reveal all his will at one time. It is a little at a tme, line upon line and precept upon precept. So Jesus as God is giving us a further revelation of what he wants us to do. Jesus further says, "You have heard that the law of Moses says, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy. ' Actually it only says 'love your neighbor. ' It was the people who added the 'hate your enemy. ' See, they thought it was alright to love only those who loved them, and to hate those you don 't like. And that 's the way most people feel today. They have a long list of people they hate. But Jesus clears this up by saying, "But I say unto you, " meaning "But I God now say unto you. " Then he goes on to say, "Love your enemies. Pray for those who persecute you. " Jesus as God was opening up the Gospel to us in a way we have not understood it before. He was showing us the full extent of God 's love. God loves us even when we do not love him. As Jesus said, this is demonstrated by the fact that God lets his sun shine oo the bad people, too. See, Jesus does not give salvation just to the people in our little circle, people we like. Salvation is available to everyone. And that 's proof of how much God love us. May God as Jesus bless you!

If that 's what is written in the Holy Scripture then must obey our FATHER IN HEAVEN. AMEN

Lets all be pure in spirit and we shall shake hands with the father soon.

Keep in mind all of those in 'mixed "families , Christ said there will be a mother inlaw against her daughter , a father against son. VERY TRYING !

Mathew 5 is such a beautiful chapter I just love the beatitudes thank u Lord for ur teachings and your blessings on us

perhaps this is one of the hardest tasks that jesus asks us to do. But as i grow older i find that it gets easier as we weaken physically with age!Hopefully when I reach heaven i will be able to tell Jesus that I achieved this goal before i died!

I LOVE good old fashioned teaching and preaching. Matthew simplifies God 's word and says it in a complete manner to understand the word of God.

I never hear this verse quoted by Dave Ramsey.

the beatitudes are truly rewarding for those who want to live as Christ lived while here on earth.love for Christ jesus will cause you to love others as Christ loved us.to love the way he did we have to suffer somethings otherwise die to self the rewards are awesome.thanks for sharing this website may god bless you and keep you

Wonderful passage indeed Rachel it is possible today to encounter Jesus personally He appeared to the two on Emmaus road Mary Magdaline and the disciples why then do we always have a historical picture of Jesus He is also a Jesus of the present NOW and we can meet with him through encounters and behold him I will pray for you and ask him to give you an encounter Face To Face Appearances From Jesus by David E Taylor is also an amazing book to read God bless

Yes It is hard to love your enemies and to Bless those who curse you I like Alicia s comment Being Christ like is not a chore but a Privilege We can only do this through prayer and a willing heart to want to be as Christ We need to have a desire to be as He is while we are in this world The rewards are very pleasing when we submit to God It is also a joy I once heard a pastor say and it has stuck with me in these situations Forgive them for your own sake Glory to God God forgave us for His names sake

Jesus gives His people four commandments love bless do good and pray In spite of what others may do in hating cursing using or mistreating us we being followers of Christ must continually love bless do good and pray Do these things with the help and the grace of the Lord and with Christ s Spirit dwellin on the inside and life will be filled with joy and peace Those who are filled with the devil and his hate cursing persecution and misuse will be filled with anger strife and a miserable existence They will get their reward

Blessed are the pure heart for they shall see God Those who loves God with their whole heart They see God due to their faith seeing God with their spirital eyes

life without christ is in total darkness if then we have truly accepted christ we are the children of light for jesus christ is the light of this world therefore as a children of light we must show jesus to the world by the way we live our life

I love the sermon on the mount Jesus words will live on through infinity he was the best leader this world has ever had and still is the best I wish I was alive during his time period and could have met him in person

I think Matthew 5 is the summary of the Holy Bible and it s so wonderful and touching may God help us not to be the reader hearer but the doers of his word in Jesus name Amen

No man puts a light and hide it a city built on a mountain can not be hiden light is for direction where thereis light people does not walk in darkness the world a dark place and it needs light Jesus you are the light of the world in other word there is something in you the world needs please don t hide it You are here to affect life do not hide from it for it is your responsibility to touch people s life The world is waiting for your manifestation so shine

It is important to say what we mean and stick by what we say. If we say we are going to do something, we should make sure we do all we can to fulfill our words.

The act of loving one who hate you, bless them that curse you through powerful prayer is the best medicine to defeat Satan, but that all begins within your family, your roof first before you love outsiders.

It was not translated properly from the original Greek.
"put away" didn't mean divoce, it meant to dismiss or abandon for no good reason. Jesus is saying, if you do, then give her a certificate of divorce so she or he can go and re-marry. That way there is no adultery. Jesus meant that the put away spouse is still married and thus cannot re-marry until legally divorced. Anyone back then commiting adultery or fornication while married would have been stoned to death anyway.
the original Greek used two different words for "put away" and "divorce" and they were not translated properly.

Whatever you do for others you don't have to go around looking for praise from other peoples. Whatever you do let it be secretly so God can be glorified. Its not about us Its all about HIM.

D above verse clearly pointed 2 prophet Muhammad (S A W) cos it said among their brethren which means anoda tribe entirely nt 4rm israelites, nd he shall speak 2 dem all dat I command, dis carefully observation wil tel u nd remind u dat it was only moses (ASW) who brought 10 commandments 4rm God, like wise our noble prophet (PBOH) he brought commandments 4rm God, bt 4 Jesus (ASW) there was never any verse of d bible dat point out any commandment he brought, bt instead followed those already brought as claimed by him in matthew 5:17-19, nd moreover christian claimed Jesus 2 b son of God nt a Prophet.

many people say God's things are hard to follow and perfect. God knows our weakness and thst is why he sent us the holly spirit to guide us. With prayer it is posible to fulfil his command to love our enemies and pray for all that persecute us.
May God bless all of you.

My thoughts on the matter is; God create woman for man,therefore man is held accountable for not taking his place as man.
