Mat 7:22
Many will say to me in that day,
1)Lord, Lord,
2)have we not prophesied in thy name?
3)and in thy name have cast out devils?
4)and in thy name done many wonderful works?
Mat 7:23
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
The proper interpretation regarding these grandiose claims should rightly be as follows:
1) a lie
2) a lie
3) a lie
4) a lie.
Mat 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Mat 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
It would appear they would have to be lying for how can they do these things if Jesus never knew them which means they were not led of the Holy Spirit so they did not have the power to do these things.
2Ti 3:4 lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
2Ti 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
2Ti 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
They deny the Spirit leading them and never come to the truth, and are lovers of pleasures, iniquity, more than lovers of God.
They cannot even come to the truth what it is to be a Christian so they have to be lying about what they did.
Joh 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
Without Jesus we can do nothing so they had to be lying.
But the truth is many people will say anything at judgment to try to get out of their situation of not abiding by the truth and know they are not accepted by Jesus.
It will be crazy all the things that will spout out of the mouth of all the people that did not believe the Bible, or Jesus as Lord and Savior as they try to get out of their situation.
All the arrogant, self exalting, people that acted tough, and liked to fight physically, and verbally, will be trembling.
But we reap what we sow so if we offend people, and not care about the poor and needy, and like to hurt people, then we will not be shown mercy at judgment and we will suffer.
I believe our mind is like a tape recorder and records all things we ever done as a witness against us if our sins are not forgiven for God can bring it up what we did.
For it would seem like He would want a witness against us to prove what we did and our mind could be that witness if we did not go by the truth to where our sins are removed and cannot condemn us.
Like the Gospel must be preached in to all the world as a witness to all nations and then comes the end.
For God always gives us a sufficient witness so there is no excuse on the part of a person.
Even creation testifies of a God, and of His attributes which one of them is love, so the world is without excuse.
Which might explain all the variety of life, and abundance of life, and things on earth, and in heaven which is all above us that we can see to testify that they could not be unless there is a Creator that put them there.
