Pastors who Converted to Islam Prophesied in Matthew 7:21-23

In MATTHEW 7:21-23, Jesus talks about PEOPLE who would SHOUT “LORD, LORD” on JUDGMENT DAY to ESCAPE PUNISHMENT.

THESE largely refer to CHRISTIANS who CONVERTED to ISLAM and DENIED the DIVINITY of JESUS.

On JUDGMENT DAY, they will SEE that JESUS IS INDEED GOD and will TRY to ESCAPE PUNISHMENT by CALLING OUT “LORD” to HIM.

They will even try to DECEIVE Jesus by reminding Him of what they did BEFORE THEY LEFT CHRISTIANITY: “Did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many deeds of power in your name?”

But GOD would NOT BE DECEIVED.

The TIME for CHOOSING to BELIEVE or NOT TO BELIEVE would already by OVER. It would already be the TIME for REAPING the PUNISHMENT for TURNING THEIR BACKS on JESUS—who is GOD and KING.

MATTHEW 7:21-23

"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven.

On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many deeds of power in your name?'

Then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; go away from me, you evildoers.'

Muslims try to turn the tables on Christians by saying that MATTHEW 7:21-23 refers to CHRISTIANS because CHRISTIANS are the ones who CALL JESUS “LORD.”

Muslims say that CHRISTIANS are the ones who PROPHESY in the NAME of JESUS, CAST OUT DEMONS in HIS NAME and DO MANY DEEDS in HIS NAME. So, MATTHEW 7:21-23 “CLEARLY” refers to CHRISTIANS.

But their DISTORTION is EXPOSED when we READ the words of Jesus in Matthew 7:21, where He says: “NOT EVERYONE who says to me ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter heaven …”

“NOT EVERYONE” means that THERE WILL BE THOSE who SAY “LORD, LORD” who will ENTER HEAVEN, and THERE WILL BE THOSE who WILL NOT.

CLEARLY, THOSE who WILL ENTER HEAVEN are the CHRISTIANS who ACKNOWLEDGED JESUS as LORD and GOD, AS WILLED BY GOD the FATHER.

And, as already mentioned, MANY of THOSE who WILL NOT ENTER HEAVEN are THOSE who WERE CHRISTIANS who CONVERTED to ISLAM.

As CHRISTIANS, these PEOPLE PROPHESIED, CAST OUT DEMONS and DID MIGHTY DEEDS IN THE NAME of JESUS.

It can be NOTED that MANY of THESE CONVERTS to ISLAM were FORMER "CHRISTIAN" PASTORS.

ANYONE FAMILIAR with NON-CATHOLIC PASTORS KNOW that PASTORS LOVE to "PROPHESY," "CAST OUT" DEMONS and DO "MIRACLES" IN THE NAME of the LORD JESUS.

Just WATCH or OBSERVE any NON-CATHOLIC FELLOWSHIP or WORSHIP SERVICE and YOU WILL SEE the PROCLAMATION of "PROPHESIES," the "CASTING OUT" of DEMONS and EVIL SPIRITS, and the PERFORMANCE of "MIRACLES" are REGULAR FEATURES of their SERVICES.

But in spite of the ZEALOUSNESS of THESE PASTORS, THEY TURNED THEIR BACKS on JESUS, BECAME MUSLIMS and BEGAN to REJECT the DIVINITY and KINGSHIP of JESUS.

On JUDGMENT DAY, these PASTORS and CHRISTIANS who CONVERTED to ISLAM would SEE that JESUS is TRULY GOD and REALIZE THEIR ERROR.

So, THEY WILL TRY to ESCAPE PUNISHMENT by CALLING OUT to JESUS: “LORD, LORD, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many deeds of power in your name?'”

But JESUS, the GOD and KING whom THEY REJECTED, would TELL THEM: “'I never knew you; go away from me, you evildoers.'”

MATTHEW 7:21-22, Balik Islam ang Tinutukoy

MADALAS GAMITIN ng mga Muslim ang MATTHEW 7:21-22 para palabasin na ang mga KRISTIYANO na TUMATAWAG kay HESUS ng "LORD" o "PANGINOON" ay ITATAKWIL NIYA.

MALI ang KANILANG UNAWA.

Ang TINUTUKOY sa TALATA ay ang mga TUMALIKOD kay HESUS, LALO NA ang mga NAG-MUSLIM.

BASA MUNA TAYO ng TALATA.

MATTHEW 7:21-22
"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven.

"On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many deeds of power in your name?'

Sa MATTHEW 7:21 ay MALINAW ang SINABI ni HESUS na "NOT EVERYONE who says to me, 'LORD, LORD,' will enter the kingdom of heaven..."

Sa Pilipino, "HINDI LAHAT ng TATAWAG sa AKIN ng 'PANGINOON, PANGINOON' ..."
Ulitin natin ang "HINDI LAHAT."

Ibig sabihin, MAY ILAN LANG na TATAWAG kay HESUS ng "LORD" ang HINDI PAPASOK sa LANGIT. Yung IBA ay PAPASOK.

So, MALI ang UNAWA NINYO na KAPAG TUMAWAG ng "LORD" kay HESUS ay HINDI NA PAPASOK sa LANGIT.

SADYA NINYONG PINUPUTOL at INAALIS ang MATTHEW 7:21 para MABALUKTOT ang KONTEKSTO ng TALATA.

Ang RESULTA ay NAILIGAW NINYO ang INYONG MGA SARILI.

+++

Ngayon, SINO ang TATAWAG kay HESUS ng "LORD" na PAPASOK sa LANGIT?

Ang PAPASOK ay yung mga NANIWALA sa mga SALITA ni HESUS at UMANIB sa KANYANG KATAWAN--ang IGLESIA KATOLIKA.

SILA ang TUMANGGAP at KUMILALA sa KANYA bilang LORD, TAGAPAGLIGTAS at DIYOS--bilang PAGSUNOD KALOOBAN ng DIYOS AMA na NAGSUGO sa DIYOS ANAK.

So, muli ay MALI ang UNAWA NINYO na ang PAGTAWAG ng "LORD" kay HESUS ang DAHILAN ng PAGTATAKWIL as mga TAO.

+++

SINO naman ang HINDI PAPASOK, ayon sa MATTHEW 7:21-22?

Ang HINDI PAPASOK ay ang mga TUMALIKOD kay HESUS at sa KANYANG KATAWAN, lalo na ang mga NAG-MUSLIM.

Sa PAGHUHUKOM ay MAKIKITA ng mga NAG-MUSLIM na DIYOS TALAGA si HESUS at DOON SILA MAGSISISI na TUMALIKOD SILA sa KANYA.

PAGKATAPOS ay SUSUBUKAN NILANG BOLAHIN si HESUS.

DIYAN PAPASOK ang MATTHEW 7:22.

SASABIHIN ng mga NAG-MUSLIM, "'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many deeds of power in your name?'"

TOTOO naman. BAGO kasi NAG-MUSLIM ang mga TUMALIKOD kay HESUS ay mga PASTOR ang mga IYAN: NANGARAL sa NGALAN ni HESUS, NAGPALAYAS din ng DEMONYO at GUMAWA ng mga BAGAY sa NGALAN ni KRISTO.

Tingnan na lang ninyo ang mga PASTOR na sina Ustadz Ahmad Barcelon at mga PARI KUNO na sina SORIA at IBA pang PASTOR na USTADZ na ngayon.

Sa PAGHUHUKOM ay SILA ang SISIGAW-SIGAW kay HESUS ng "LORD, LORD!"

Pero HULI NA ang LAHAT. TAPOS NA ang PANAHON ng PAGPAPASYA at PAGSISISI.

PANAHON NA ng PAGHUHUKOM.

+++

Ang PAGHUHUKOM ay PANAHON NA ng PAGPAPARUSA.

ITATAPON NA at PAPATAYIN NA sa IMPIERNO ang mga NAG-MUSLIM at ang mga TUMALIKOD kay HESUS.

TUTUPARIN NA ang SINABI ni HESUS sa LUKE 19:27:

"But as for these ENEMIES OF MINE WHO DID NOT WANT ME TO BE KING OVER THEM-- bring them here and SLAUGHTER THEM in my presence.'"

Diyan sa LUKE 19:27 ay MALINAW na ang PAGPATAY sa mga KAAWAY ni HESUS ay ang pag-AYAW NILA sa pagiging HARI at DIYOS ni KRISTO.

SINO ba ang mga AYAW MAGHARI sa KANILA si HESUS?

Hindi ba ang mga MUSLIM?

So, MALINAW na sa LUKE 19:27 ay SINASABI NA ng DIYOS ang KAPARUSAHAN sa mga MUSLIM.

At WALA nang MAGAGAWA ang PAGTAWAG NILA ng "LORD" kay HESUS. (MATTHEW 7:21-22)

ITATAPON NA SILA sa DAGAT-DAGATANG APOY na siyang IKALAWANG KAMATAYAN. (REVELATIONS 20:14)

Matthew 7:21-24 (Jesus to Reject Christians?)

A MUSLIM, Zafar Khan, posted several verses which he believes are the WORDS of the JESUS AGAINST CHRISTIANS.

Zafar Khan said in his Page "LETS DEBATE:"
What does this chapters and verses say?? isn't this enough evidence for the Christians to realize the truth and turn back to ISLAM??

"Not everyone who calls out to me, 'Lord! Lord!' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. (Matthew 7:21)

On judgment day many will say to me, 'Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.' (Matthew 7:22 )

But I will reply, 'I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God's laws.' (Matthew 7:23)

"Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock (Matthew 7:24)

+++

HERE are the RESPONSES to ZAFAR KHAN: https://www.facebook.com/notes/cenon-bibe/matthew-721-24-jesus-to-reject-christians/10151376102190732

A. WHAT THE VERSES MEAN:

1. What does this chapters and verses say?? isn't this enough evidence for the Christians to realize the truth and turn back to ISLAM??

First, THERE is NO REASON to TURN BACK to ISLAM because WE WERE NEVER MUSLIMS in the FIRST PLACE.

Second, WAIT for the EXPLANATIONS because THEY will GIVE US MORE REASON NOT TO BECOME MUSLIMS.

+++

2. "Not everyone who calls out to me, 'Lord! Lord!' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. (Matthew 7:21)

THIS is fairly EASY and SIMPLE. It only means that IT IS NOT ENOUGH to BECOME a CHRISTIAN and CALL the LORD JESUS as "LORD."

Take note that Matthew 7:21 says, "NOT EVERYONE who calls out to me, 'Lord! Lord!' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven."

"NOT EVERYONE" means "NOT ALL."

The LORD JESUS was NOT SAYING that ALL WHO CALL to HIM as "LORD," or BELIEVE IN HIM as GOD would not enter heaven. ONLY SOME of those who DO SO WOULD NOT BE ENTERING GOD'S KINGDOM. OTHERS would be GOING to HEAVEN.

That means, CALLING to JESUS as "LORD" and BELIEVING that HE IS GOD CAN GET SOMEONE INTO HEAVEN.

But CALLING OUT "LORD" is NOT the ONLY REQUIREMENT. THEY MUST ALSO DO the WILL of GOD.

So, clearly, the MUSLIM UNDERSTANDING of Matthew 7:21 is WRONG.
.
.
.
Those who wish to follow the LORD JESUS MUST PROVE their FAITH with GOOD WORKS or the FRUITS of their FAITH.

Read the PRECEDING VERSES as PROOF of THAT MEANING:

MATTHEW 7:16-20

You will know them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles?

In the same way, every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit.

A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.

Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

Thus you will know them by their fruits.

+++

3. On judgment day many will say to me, 'Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.' (Matthew 7:22 )

But I will reply, 'I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God's laws.' (Matthew 7:23)

"Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock (Matthew 7:24)

THESE are PROPHECIES AGAINST THOSE who BROKE AWAY from the CHURCH that was FOUNDED by the LORD JESUS and FOUNDED their OWN CHURCHES.

THEY are the FALSE PROPHETS mentioned by the LORD JESUS in the PRECEDING VERSE at MATTHEW 7:15:

"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.”

These FALSE PROPHETS INCLUDE those who LURE CATHOLICS and other CHRISTIANS AWAY from the CHRISTIAN FAITH, like MUSLIM PREACHERS.
.
.
.
In MATTHEW 24:4-5, 11, 24-26 the LORD JESUS also WARNS AGAINST these FALSE PROPHETS.

MATTHEW 24:4-5, 11, 24-26

Jesus answered them, "Beware that no one leads you astray. For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am the Messiah!' and they will lead many astray.

And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray.

For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and produce great signs and omens, to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.

Take note, I have told you beforehand.

So, if they say to you, 'Look! He is in the wilderness,' do not go out. If they say, 'Look! He is in the inner rooms,' do not believe it.

.
.
.
NOTICE that the LORD JESUS SPECIFICALLY MENTIONED SOMEONE from the “WILDERNESS.”

This WILDERNESS is the DESERT. Meaning, WE SHOULD NOT FOLLOW any “PROPHET” who CAME FROM THE DESERT.

Why?

Because, according to the LORD JESUS, that "PROPHET" would be a "FALSE PROPHET."

So, if you encounter a “PROPHET,” ASK FIRST if HE CAME FROM THE DESERT. If HE DID, then HE IS ONE of the FALSE PROPHETS WARNED ABOUT by the LORD.

AVOID HIM.
.
.
.
Is it UNFORTUNATE that the PROPHET of ISLAM CAME FROM the DESERT?

And since HE DID, then IT WOULD ONLY BE WISE NOT TO BELIEVE YOUR PROPHET. The WARNING of the LORD JESUS in MATTHEW 24:24-26 is ONE GOOD and CLEAR REASON NOT TO BECOME MUSLIM.

+++

B. WHAT ZAFAR KHAN MEANS

a. I KNOW how Zafar Khan means when he quotes Matthew 7:22-23

On judgment day many will say to me, 'Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.' (Matthew 7:22 )

But I will reply, 'I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God's laws.' (Matthew 7:23)

He will insist that the LORD JESUS is saying that HE WOULD "REJECT" CHRISTIANS on JUDGMENT DAY.

This MUSLIM, Zafar Khan, would say: "Who calls Jesus 'Lord! Lord!'? Aren't they Christians who say that Jesus is God?"

He might add that "Christians prophesy in the name of Jesus and cast out demons and perform miracles. So, they are the ones to be rejected by Jesus."

Sorry to say, Zafar Khan is WRONG because HE TOOK the VERSES OUT OF CONTEXT.

Taken in their PROPER CONTEXT (as we did above), we see that Matthew 7:22-23 DO NOT REFER to ALL CHRISTIANS but only to "FALSE PROPHETS" AMONG CHRISTIANS.
.
.
.
These FALSE PROPHETS within CHRISTIANITY are those who DISTORT the TRUTH to LEAD MEMBERS of the CHURCH AWAY from the BODY OF CHRIST.

ACTS 20:30

Some even from your own group will come distorting the truth in order to entice the disciples to follow them.

SEE?

These FALSE PROPHETS CAUSE DIVISIONS within the CHURCH using SMOOTH TALK and FLATTERY to DECEIVE MEMBERS of the CHURCH.

ROMANS 16:17-18

I urge you, brothers and sisters, to keep an eye on those who cause dissensions and offenses, in opposition to the teaching that you have learned; avoid them.

For such people do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the simple-minded.

SEE?

+++

b. FALSE TEACHERS BECOME MUSLIMS

Now, NOTICE that MANY of those who BROKE AWAY from the CHURCH are NOW MUSLIMS. MANY of those now RABIDLY AGAINST CHRISTIANITY and the BIBLE, are FORMER PASTORS who were ONCE CATHOLICS.

The DEVIL LED them AWAY from the CHURCH using the FALSE BELIEF called "BIBLE ONLY."

SATAN FOOLED these people into BELIEVING that the BIBLE is the ONLY SOURCE of BELIEF and TEACHING. The DEVIL taught them that since the BIBLE is the ONLY SOURCE of SALVATION, and so THE BIBLE CANNOT CONTRADICT ITSELF.

But what do you know?

After PREACHING and SPREADING this DOCTRINE of "BIBLE ONLY," these FORMER PASTORS (NOW MUSLIM PREACHERS) are the ONES ATTACKING the BIBLE.

And why not? It was the DEVIL who INVENTED "BIBLE ONLY" so it was EASY for the DEVIL to DESTROY IT.
.
.
.
The FAITH of these FORMER PASTORS was EASILY SHATTERED when the DEVIL pointed out supposed "CONTRADICTIONS" it the BIBLE ... and THERE are "MANY."

When MUSLIM PREACHERS like AHMED DEEDAT came up with "COMPARATIVE RELIGION," they EASILY SWAYED former RABID ANTI-CATHOLICS into becoming RABID BIBLE HATERS.

All they had to do was COME UP with SEEMINGLY CONTRADICTORY VERSES and THAT'S IT; the BIBLE is suddenly ERRONEOUS and SHOULD NOT BE TRUSTED for SALVATION. It did not MATTER that their UNDERSTANDING of the verses was based on WRONG CONTEXT and MISREPRESENTATION.

These "PASTORS" DID NOT THINK when THEY BELIEVED "BIBLE ONLY." They also DID NOT THINK when these MUSLIM PREACHERS FED THEM with WRONG INFORMATION about the BIBLE.

So, they are NOW MUSLIM PREACHERS THEMSELVES.

+++

C. SHOULD WE BECOME MUSLIMS?

We already see that the INTERPRETATION of ZAFAR KHAN of Matthew 7:21-24 is WRONG. IT is OUT OF CONTEXT.

We also see that this WRONG INTERPRETATION has led to PEOPLE GETTING MISLED.

So, SHOULD WE BECOME MUSLIMS as ZAFAR KHAN SUGGESTS?

I say, SURELY NO.

I DECIDED to REMAIN CATHOLIC -- a CHRISTIAN -- because I FOUND the TRUTH in CHRISTIANITY. I WOULD NOT THROW the TRUTH AWAY because of a WRONG UNDERSTANDING of BIBLE TEXTS.
