Bible Question: When the Lord was talking in Matthew 7:22. Many will say to me in that day Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name, cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works? If he was talking about Christian people then how can a Christian heal was sick, raise the dead get people saved, and then the Lord tell him. I never knew you depart from me you that work iniquity and send them to hell? |
Bible Answer: "Matt 5:1 When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain; and after He sat down, His disciples came to Him. Matt 5:2 He opened His mouth and began to teach them, saying,..." Please note that the text says He saw the crowds and his disciples sat down with Him and He began to teach them. Since he was teaching both the crowds and his disciples, it cannot be assumed that everyone He was teaching were His followers (christians) at that time. I suggest the book "How to study the bible" by Kay Arthur and the NASB Inductive Study Bible. Hope this helps. |
