Bible Question: Thank you john for your response I totally agree that our focus should be getting more people to Christ and not on demons and the trickery of satan.I do have another question what group of people was Jesus talking about in Matthew 7:22 was it people who were once following Christ but backslid? |
Bible Answer: jchelve, Glad to have you here with us. Matthew 7:22 get's batted around allot in today's church. We hear term like backsliding or people who have quote unquote lost thier salvation. Back in the time this was wrote Matthew 7:22 was not understood in those terms and shouldn't be today either. When Jesus made this statement it wasn't He didn't KNOW them it was he never knew them, meaning he never had a relationship with them. There are allot counterfeits and false teachers out there. Some of them are even amongst us today. Peter and John spend allot of time on this subject, so does Paul. Acts 19:15 is one of a number examples provided for us in scripture. In Him, lionheart |
