Revision as of 10:01, 28 September 2023

Matthew's writings of the Gospel of the kingdom were inspired. But what do they really tell us in the context of the times and the precepts of the kingdom of God and the character of those who would enter into it?
Comments
These blessings on the mount are for those who seek, strive and persevere in their quest for the Kingdom of God. They are about the virtues of those who journey after the kingdom through The Way of Christ.
Matthew 5:17 makes it very clear out of Jesus' own mouth that he was not going to destroy the law. The word we see as destroy is not the word apollumi[1] translated destroy 26 times and meaning "to put out of the way entirely, abolish, put an end to ruin or render useless". Nor is it the Greek word luo[2] meaning "to loosen, undo, dissolve". Nor is it the word diaphtheiro[3] meaning "to change for the worse, to corrupt".
It is from the Greek word kataluo[4] meaning "to dissolve... to overthrow ... bring to naught... to subvert,... institutions, forms of government, laws, etc..."
He said that he was fulfilling things using the word pleroo [5] meaning "to make full, to fill up,... to cause to abound,.... to render full".
Remember the Pharisees and their traditions (also translated ordinance[6]) like Corban were making the word of God to none effect and not bearing fruit.
The law included the Ten Commandments which hinge upon the Two commandments. The statutes of Moses were his description of the application of that basic law. Jesus did not violate the law but appeared at times to violate the pharisees' private interpretation of the law.
The truth is, most Modern Christians have the same "traditions" of corban as the pharisees created by FDR and expanded by LBJ which degenerate the social bonds of a free society.
The words and deeds of Jesus Christ and His appointed disciples do convince me that Moses and Jesus were in agreement.
13V We are no longer the "Salt and Light" of the world.
17V the law is not done away with but the Statutes and ordinances that came from the sophistry of the Pharisees which is the same as that of the Modern Church. If all the law is found in love God and neighbor then it is still there.
21V We discussed this Raca[7]("evil tidings, they mourned") in our study in Exodus 33. What does it have to do with a consuming fire?[8] but it is also associated with not harkening unto the words of God.[9] Your anger, jealousy, envy may lead you to covet what is your neighbor until you begin to bite one another and are consumed one of another with the fire of your own anger.[10]
We should not lust, abandon our commitments and we should not swear oaths, seek vengeance which requires us to judge others which is an usurpation of God but actually love our enemy and leave judgement to God.
Questions
And they, like the early Church, had a daily ministration of Pure Religion rooted in love and charity.
Where is the people daily ministration today and is it by charity or force?
Where is the love of Christ to practice of Pure Religion in the modern Church?
Where does the Modern Church provide a daily ministration of care for the people so that no one has to go to the rulers of the world who exercise authority [11] one over the other but call themselves benefactors?
Or are you making the word of God to none effect with your Corban, legal charity, and other covetous practices which makes men merchandise and will curse children?
When did the dainties of rulers stop being a snare and a trap?

The Sermon on the Mount

[1] And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:

The Beatitudes

[2] And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,

[3] Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. [4] Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. [5] Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. [6] Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. [7] Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. [8] Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. [9] Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. [10] Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. [11] Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecuteyou, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. [12] Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward[12] in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

Salt and Light

[13] Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. [14] Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. [15] Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. [16] Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Christ Came to Fulfill the Law

[17] Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.


[18] For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. [19] Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least[13] in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great[14] in the kingdom of heaven. [20] For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Anger

[21] Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: [22] But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. [23] Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; [24] Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. [25] Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. [26] Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.

Lust

[27] Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: [28] But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. [29] And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. [30] And if thy right hand offend thee, cut if off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

Divorce

[31] It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: [32] But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.

Oaths

[33] Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths: [34] But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: [35] Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. [36] Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. [37] But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.[15]

Retaliation

[38] Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: [39] But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. [40] And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also. [41] And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. [42] Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

Love Your Enemies

[43] Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. [44] But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; [45] That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. [46] For if ye love them which love you, what reward[12] have ye? do not even the publicans the same? [47] And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? [48] Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
