A Study of the Scriptures: All the New Testament Commands & Teachings.

This is a Bible study so as to discuss all the New Testament Commands and Teachings in Scripture.


Warning:
Please Read Thread Rules Below Before Posting.


Rule #1. This is not a debate thread. This is a study thread. If you disagree with an interpretation or view expressed here, you can say how you disagree in one or two sentences, but you must provide a link to a new thread (or one that was previously created in the past) to produce your reasons as to not interrupt the purpose of this study.


Rule #2. I will put forth the Commands and Teachings (Taken directly from Scripture) and nobody else. Please no random mention of God's Commands or a general discussion of God's Commands within the Bible. If you disagree with how the Commands are put forth, state your reasons briefly in one or two sentences and provide a link to another thread to discuss such a thing. The purpose of this study is to stay on track with discussing the Commands and Teachings of the Bible. This is not a thread about the debate of the Bible or about how you disagree with someone. This is a Bible Study thread which is supposed to help enrichen your beliefs about the New Testament Commands and Teachings in God's Word. Also, there is absolutely no discussion about the Old Testament Commands or teachings here. This is strictly New Covenant Commands and Teachings for the believer today (That can be found in the New Testament).


Rule #3. Stay on point with only the Commands being currently discussed. No past Command type discussions that are really old. Please try and discuss only the current Commands under discussion. Granted, I will allow a few comments after a group of Commands has just passed, but such discussion should not continue on and on so as to interupt the current Command discussion or study. If you want to add to a past discussion on God's Commands (that has been over for a long while), start another thread. The purpose is to stay on point with each of the group sets of Commands I will put forth. This would also include refraining from telling a Command (or Commands) that is still yet future for us to discuss, too. If you feel a Command has been missed, please PM me and I will be happy to discuss it with you (and possibly add it). Thank you.




The Last Old Testament Prophet's Commandments (While under the OT):
(Which Lines up with New Testament Commandments):


1. Repent / Confess sins.
First mentioned by John the Baptist in the New Testament.
(Old Testament prophet, but later repeated by Jesus, John, and Paul).
(Repent / Confess your sins: Matthew 3:1, 6).

2. Repent / Turn From your Wicked Ways.
First mentioned by John the Baptist in the New Testament.
(Old Testament prophet, but later repeated by Jesus and Paul).
Words that sound similar.
(a) Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make your paths straight.
(Matthew 3:8) (Mark 1:3-4).

3. Bring forth fruits worthy of Repentance.
(i.e. Do those type of works for God that are worthy of your repentance.)



Jesus's Preparational New Testament Commandments (While Under the OT):

6. Let your Light shine before men (Matthew 5:16).

7. Your righteousness must exceed the righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees or you will not enter the Kingdom of God (Matthew 5:20).

8. You shall not kill (Matthew 5:21)

9. Do not hate your brother without a cause or you will be danger of Judgment

13. You shall not commit adultery. (Matthew 5:27).

15. If your right eye or right hand offends you (Because you are looking upon a woman lustfully), it would be better if you completely remove your eye and your hand (metaphorically speaking) instead of having one's entire body being cast into the Lake of Fire.
(Matthew 5:29-30).

16. Whosoever shall put away his wife, except for the cause of fornication, causes her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committes adultery.
(Matthew 5:32).

17. Do not swear or make promises by anything. Do not swear by Heaven, Earth, Jerusalem, or your head, etc. Let your yes be yes and let your no be no.(Matthew 5:34-37).

27. Pray for them that despitefully use you and for those who persecute you.(Matthew 5:44).

28. Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. (Matthew 5:48).

29. Do not do give for the cause of God so as to be seen by others, otherwise you will have no reward from your Father in Heaven. (Matthew 6:1). Neither announce your giving before others like the hypocrites do who seek the glory of men (Matthew 6:2).

30. When you give, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing
Make it a habit to give to God in secret and He will reward you openly (Matthew 6:3-4).

31. When you pray, do not do so publically so as to be seen by others (Matthew 6:5).

32. When you pray, shut your door and pray privately (Matthew 6:6).

34. After this manner therefore pray: Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. (Matthew 6:9-13).

35. If ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: (Matthew 6:14).

36. But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. (Matthew 6:15).

37. Moreover when you fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. (Matthew 6:16).

38. But when you fast, anoint your head, and wash your face so that you appear not unto men to fast, but unto your Father which is in secret; For your Father, which sees in secret, shall reward you openly. (Matthew 6:17-18)

39. Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust does corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: (Matthew 6:19).

40. But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust does corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: (Matthew 6:20). For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

41. You cannot serve both God and money (Matthew 6:24).

42. Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. (Matthew 6:25). Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

43.Seek you first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. (Matthew 6:33).

44. Take therefore no thought for the tomorrow: for tomorrow shall take thought for the things of itself. (Matthew 6:34). Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

45. Do not judge unless you have been judged yourself (Matthew 7:1).

46. Do not judge hypocritically. Take the beam out of your own eyes then you will see clearly to take the beam out of your brother's eye. (Matthew 7:5).

47. Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast your pearls before swine, otherwise they will trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you. (Matthew 7:6).

48. Ask, and it shall be given you; (Matthew 7:7).

49. Seek, and you shall find; (Matthew 7:7).

50. Knock, and it shall be opened unto you: (Matthew 7:7).



Jesus's Preparational New Testament Teachings (While under the OT):


1. Speak God's Word (And live spiritually);
For man shall not live by bread alone but by every word of God that proceeeds out of his mouth (Matthew 4:4) (Deuteronomy 8:3).

Be-Attitudes:
(Matthew 5:3-9):

2. Be Poor in Spirit. (Be-Attitude #1).

4. Be Kind (Be-Attitude #3).

5. Be Hungry and Thirsty for Righteousness (Be-Attitude #4).

6. Be Merciful (Be-Attitude #5).

7. Be Pure in heart (Be-Attitude #6).

8. Be a Peace Maker (Be-Attitude #7).

For he that does the will of the Father will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. For not every one that says unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven. (Matthew 7:21) (Matthew 12:50).

10. Hear and obey the words of Jesus.
For hearing and obeying the words of Jesus brings wisdom and security. For Jesus said, "whosoever hears these sayings of mine, and does them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:" (Matthew 7:24).

1. Repent / Confess sins.
First mentioned by John the Baptist in the New Testament.
(Old Testament prophet, but later repeated by Jesus, John, and Paul).
(Repent / Confess your sins: Matthew 3:1, 6).
Here we see John the Baptist telling people to repent of their sins. We learn in verse 6 that they are confessing their sins as a result of his message (or words) of telling them to "repent." So repentance involves "confessing one's sins."

Matthew 6:7 is pretty self explanatory. It is speaking in such a way in your prayer where it is repetitive and mindless with the words. One's prayer should have purpose, thought, and intent behind it. Also, someone is just talking alot in their prayer whereby they are seeking to impress God with their much speaking is also wrong. It is just being open and honest and pure before God.

I would suggest the Lord's Prayer.

The Lord's prayer is like an outline in how to pray. It is not something we just mindlessly say to God (As you might have guessed).

God's Word said:
"Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be your name."
This is giving your praise and acknowledgment to the Father in Heaven and acknowledging His holiness. God wants us to meditate on focusing on Him. For it was God the Father who so loved the world that sent his only begotten Son Jesus to die for us. So our thanks to Him and praise to Him should be forever more.

God's Word said:
"Your kingdom come."
Pray the Lord for His Kingdom to come soon. Pray so as to be ready for His Kingdom when it does come. Be happy so much that His Kingdom is coming.

God's Word said:
Your will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Pray for God's will in your life here on this Earth. Ask for opportunities to witness for Christ at your job. Ask God for opportunites so as to help those who poor or who are suffering. Ask God to make you more into image.

God's Word said:
"Give us this day our daily bread."
Ask God to show you something amazing within His Word when the next time you study. Ask God for Him to open the flood gates of understanding by His Spirit before you read the Bible. Ask God what He wants to show you today in His Word.

God's Word said:
"And forgive us our debts,"
This can be either the confessing of any serious sin that you might be struggling with or it can be a minor fault or error on your part that you know you can do better in. For example: A person can always do better at their job or be a better father for the Lord. There is always room for improvement as we grow and walk with the Lord. But admit your erros before God and ask Him to help you to change. Never give up and wait upon the Lord. For they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength.

God's Word said:
"as we forgive our debtors."
Ask God to always keep your heart soft so as to forgive others quickly; And to love them back (When they might do wrong against you the next time).

God's Word said:
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
God can lead us out of temptation. People really don't think about that all too much. God can protect us from evil. But we have to want it, though. We have to truly want to seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. We really have to want to love the Lord with all our heart, mind, and soul.

God's Word said:
For yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. (Matthew 6:9-13).
Again, here we should praise the Lord and seek to give Him all the glory, honor, and power in everything that we do for Him. This is a lifting up of God and His good Kingdom and wanting nothing but to please Him.

Anyways, I hope this helps.
And may God bless you greatly, my friend.
For I am wishing nothing but good things to you in Christ Jesus.

First off, I have heard sermons upon sermons in regards to the Lord's Prayer, but in all my life I have never seen it expressed the way you described it to be and it really does make me think more in detail about how to pray to God, although it never has to be perfect. However, there is one part that I have always struggled with and that is praying for God's will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. God has really been laying on my heart to do this and I have had things come up that I have to allow God full control of and I even put some blogs on this site as well praying about them, but it seems to always be a struggle. Do you have any ways that you use to allow God's will to be done in your life?

Gosh darn Jason, If you could incorporate grace in your theology..........you would be a FORCE on this site. And I am not kidding.

God works in mysterious ways. Sir, if you ever do find/recognize the Grace of God, I wouldn't want to debate ya.

God's will is right there in His Word for us (As you may know). Sometimes it is praying and talking to God and having a thirst for His righteousness so as to allow Him to do the good work in you (According to the Bible). If that thirst for His righteousness is not there. Ask for it. God will give us all we need. Sometimes we always think we have to take the bull by the horns and jump and dive in the water without really thinking. But I always try and let God bring me what I need to do for Him. I pray, pray, pray for me to do those things that He wants me to do. I always think. How can I preach to all nations? How does one do that? It is prayer. It is God. For with God, all things are possible. He makes things happen. He brings things to you if you pray according to His will. But we really have to want it and thirst for it out of love for Him. I think the more and more I dig deep in His Word the more and more I learn about Him and His good ways.... the more and more I want to do more for Him. Because I can see God teaching me so much by His Spirit. It is exciting and so good. So loving. So perfect being in that right groove with God (knowing that He answered a prayer that is in line with something that He is commanding us to do according to His Word). I know God's will is to tell others about Christ and to help those who are less fortunate and to love the brethren and feed them the Word. To love. I know that if you pray and ask God to help you in these things.... He will answer. But it is not a one time prayer. It is a continual daily prayer. One has to want it every day. One has to want to please God every day. It is intense. I know. But the more and more we develop that muscle the more and more it will become stronger.

Because when we pray according to His will, He makes things happen.

I hope that helps.

Anyways, may all manner of good things in the Lord be unto you.
And please be well.

Sincerely,

~ Jason.

First, this is not a debate thread. This is a Study Thread. Read the Rules in the OP. If you disagree about something, please start another thread and provide a link to that thread so as to debate it there. This is not a debate thread.

Second, I believe in grace (and that I am saved by His grace (apart from works); But I do not believe the Lord's Commands and Teachings are in conflict with His grace, though. How can they be? Most of the New Testament is full of many Commands and Teachings from Jesus and His apostles. Do you ignore them? In any event, please do not reply to this post so as to debate. If you want to give a lengthy reply or a response of some substance, please provide a link to another thread so as to debate it there. This is not a debate thread. It's a study on the Lord's Commands and Teachings in the New Testament.

Thank you for hearing me out.
And may God bless you.
And please be well.

No debate from me on this thread my friend. I was serious and it was not a dig. And I don't blame you if you thought it was.

47. Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast your pearls before swine, otherwise they will trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you. (Matthew 7:6).
This is one of those verses that we have to be careful when we talk about it. I never want to give the impression that I do not love someone and or a certain group of people (Even my enemies). For I am commanded by God to love everyone. But God says in His Word that we are not to give that which is holy unto dogs. What are dogs? Well, a person's behavior can determine if one is acting like a dog or not by the way they treat you. Are they always barking at you? Are they behaving more on animal instinct rather than in Christian love and respect?

But what is casting pearls before swine or giving that which is holy unto dogs? I used to think this was discussing the Word of God exclusively. But such is not the case. One's pearls can also be in one's special moments and experiences one has in their walk with Christ (or God). Sometimes unbelievers (and even self professing believers who have a wrong doctrine) demand that you have to tell them about your walk with God in order for them to believe you or in order for them to think you are legit in their mind on some level. But if someone does not hear God's Word from you, then neither will they appreciate the good God has done in your life. One would be casting one's pearls before those who would not appreciate it. Now, this can involve talking about the deep things of God within His Word with people, too. For example: If you tell an unbeliever about a deep teaching in God's Word you learned, they are going to just mock you all the more with it. If it is close to your heart, they are going to try and hurt you with what you told them. So the best course of action is not to give that which is holy unto dogs. Do not give them something to sink their teeth into. Yes, tell them about Jesus Christ and the basics of the faith. But do not share the deep things of God (Either in His Word or in your walk with Him). Keep that which is precious to you in the Lord close to your heart and guard it. Share your close walk with the Lord and your deep teachings with those believers you can trust (and who you know will build you up in the faith).

30. When you give, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing
Make it a habit to give to God in secret and He will reward you openly (Matthew 6:3-4).
This is a powerful Command from our Lord that I would highly recommend putting into practice in your life. For doing things in secret for God is huge. For it is tempting for us sometimes to want to boast about our lives involving God. But this is definitely not one of those times. Do certain things for God in secret. Keep them hidden and do not tell anyone what they are. They are your precious treasures just between you and God. It is for Him and Him alone to know what you do for Him out of your love for Him. Nobody should know about these things; And I mean... nobody. For what you do in secret, God will then reward you openly. Do you want to be rewarded openly? I sure do. It sounds exciting. What kind of amazing good gifts God has for His children for those who do things in secret for Him? Sometimes people do not understand that we are sometimes covert operatives for the Lord. We can be top secret agents for the Lord. Our mission (if we choose to accept it).... Is to love. Both openly and in secret before God.

7. Your righteousness must exceed the righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees or you will not enter the Kingdom of God (Matthew 5:20).
Many today preach Once Saved Always Saved and that possessing righteousness (or having a righteous life) is not the basis of entering the Kingdom of God. But here we see Jesus say that our righteousness must exceed the Scribes and the Pharisees, otherwise we will not enter the kIngdom of God. Most in the OSAS camp will claim that Christ's righteousness is imputed to them so they have no need to be overly concerned in worrying about sin in regards to salvation because it was taken care of at the cross. While it is true that Christ does impute righteouness to a believer; This is only if they obey the Lord and respond to Him. For the Lord does the work of righteousness thru the believer if they yield to Him. For the Pharisees did not have some incorrect mental acknowledgment that He was the Savior. The Pharisees problem is that they ignored the weightier matters of the Law like justice, love, and mercy.

1. Speak God's Word (And live spiritually);
For man shall not live by bread alone but by every word of God that proceeeds out of his mouth (Matthew 4:4) (Deuteronomy 8:3).
This one is beautiful. We can actually live spiritually by speaking God's Word. Preaching the Word (For the Lord) can save the souls of people; And good seed sown means you will reap good back. Also, Christ had conquered the devil by quoting Scripture. So if you want to live spiritually and you want to please God, then quoting Scripture in that thing that is tempting you will help you to defeat the enemy and sin in your life. Also, if you want to draw closer to God in your love for Him, quoting His promises and believing them will also help to deepen your walk with Him, as well. Scripture is also the way we answer those who are in darkness and who try to attack us (either verbally or physically). So speak the Word of God and live spiritually.

Jesus's Preparational New Testament Commandments (While Under the OT): (Continued):

51.The Golden Rule: Therefore all things whatsoever you would that men should do to you, do you even so to them: (Matthew 7:12).


52. Enter in at the strait gate: (Matthew 7:13).

Jesus's Preparational New Testament Commandments (While Under the OT): (Continued):

51.The Golden Rule: Therefore all things whatsoever you would that men should do to you, do you even so to them: (Matthew 7:12).
Do unto others as you want done unto yourself. So if you want to be treated with kindness with words (Regardless if anyone does that for you or not), you should speak to them kindly. If you want people to drive properly on the road, do so yourself. In other words, we should hold others to the same standard that we are also keeping.

68. Fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. (Matthew 10:28).
We are to fear not man but we are to fear the LORD who is able to destroy anyone both body in soul in Gehenna (i.e. the Lake of Fire). A healthy fear of God will lead one to walk in His paths of righteousness for His name sake. In time, as one grows closer in their walk with the LORD, they will learn that perfect love will cast out fear. For their love is made perfect by obeying His Commands. For Jesus said if you love me, keep my Commandments.
