The Tree Church is not a building or an organization. It's people who believe it's possible to have an awesome life, and the way to accomplish that is through following the life and teachings of Jesus. The Tree Church is actually not an "IT" but a "WE". We are ordinary people who have realized the truth that life at its fullest only happens when we follow Jesus and connect to the people around us. If you decide to visit The Tree Church, you will discover a welcoming place of people just like you.
Like the message but not enough insight is given or understood why the Pharisee said that. Let me ask by what authority is our Lord forgiving sin before going to the cross.

Today I heard a preacher who made a comparison to boxes: Applying this commandment in our lives goes against our "nature." Where many everyday utensils are very intuitive and thus make our lives easier, loving our enemies, in a first stage anyway, is just the opposite. Where we try to avoid pain, a boxer knows he will give up. If he wants to hit with his left foot, he has to go forward with his right foot. In boxing, it's exactly like you always have to do the opposite, than what you actually want. I summarize, and if I remember correctly, he had taken this from a movie. He did end on a positive note. If we also apply this commandment in our lives, then our life becomes wet easier in this world. I hope the Lord changes my heart and I finally do what is necessary. Declaring blessings on the world and humanity. And no longer curse anyone.

That is strange, since I received more judgement and condemnation from that devil than what I have ever been given to people! On the other hand, I have some forgiving and loving people around me as well, they really keep my heart soft and strong, thank God for these people in my life! Eventually, the saints are about to judge what is happening on the earth, according to biblical standards however, not according to personal hurts or benefits (1 corinthians 6:2). In fact I bind to be protected from personal judgement and condemnation since I do not seek a way to give this to others as well, binding myself not to be unequally yoked with and have any common share with those who receive personal judgement and condemnation because of judging and condemning others, in accordance with this word and luke 6:37-42, 2 corinthians 6:14-18 in the name and blood of Jesus Christ, amen and hallelujah!
I know I’ve said this a million times but y’all are such a blessing to me! I can not get enough! I’ve been in church m entire life but i learn so much from every study!! Thank you so much!!
The only ones that will be judged are the unsaved having Christ sets aside from judgment no born-again Christian will be judged at the great white throne judgment.
Matthew 22:36-40 - Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

Here is more false doctrine that is taught in the church, Satan is our enemy are we to love him 🤔 "I think not" Jesus tells a parable of the tears, which he explains are the seeds of the wicked one, now we know there's only one wicked one.. "Satan" we are told in that parable to leave them alone, not to love them, not to pray for them.. to simply, "leave them alone" sometimes when studying the word of God the only requirement is common sense, point is, if someone is evil and are spitefully using you, taking advantage of you you are not to love them you are to leave them alone.. period, there are some people in this world that you just can't love, I have no idea where man get this concept from, it certainly wasn't from God😑

Man this is such a good message. I just read this In the bible today. This only gives me confirmation on what is right when it comes to the company that you also keep.
One thing I've experienced with praying for those who hurt me is that in the beginning I don't want to and by the time I am finished praying for them I feel light and compassionate towards them.
Amen, sister!

Is there ever an example of a prophet in the OT or NT saying “is your name Dennis from Ukraine? I ‘feel’ like the lord is telling me he loves you” - NO. That’s not prophecy, that’s tarot card reading in a fair. Even in the New Testament people prophesied the the birth of Christ, Agabus foretold famine & Paul’s arrest
Lord, I have given what I could to bind the evil and invite the good in, I see that as love. I think I have given enough love now to my enemies, I need love for others as well! I loosen the word of luke 6:27-36 praying my opponents start loving themselves in the name and blood of Jesus Christ, amen and hallelujah!
I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. Today (October 11), this was the basis for our Sunday School Lesson of the Day. It was entitled "Love for Enemies." Sadly, due to the Corona Virus outbreak, Sunday School activities have been suspended until further notice.
According to the Hebrews Scriptures we can all rest assured that our loved our ones grandparents, brothers, sisters, friends and enemy's had there sin debt paid in full. They were included in Father YAHwen's PLAN from the beginning. I praise Father YAHweh for the blessed hope.
Love your enemies means “not to hate your enemies”, because 1) it will hurt yourself when your mind set on “hating mode”; it doesn’t have to be religious to be convinceds; it’s confirmed by “Dr Emoto’s water experiment “; 2) it’s self promoted by setting your mind on “loving mode” that would bring all kinds of good lucks with romance, finance, and career. 3) once you are on “no loving mode”, all lucks would turn away from you. No mater how burned out you are, to attract good lucks, set your mind on “loving others”. Once you set on “selfish mode”, it will repel good lucks , and attract bad lucks.
YOU NEED TO LOOK UP THE ORIGINAL WORDS IN STRONGS CONCORDANCE. IT MEANS TO FORETELL. ACTS 2 VSIONS AND DREAMS FALL UNDER 1 CORINTHIANS ALSO. AND ALL PROPHECY MUST COME INTO ORDER ALL PROPHETS ARE SUBJECT TO THE PROPHETS HE SAYS THAT IN 1 CORINTHIANS 14 ALSO. IT IS ALL INCLUSIVE. YOU ARE ADDING AND TAKING AWAY. LOOK UP THE DEFINITION FOR PROPHECY USED IN THAT VERSE IN CONCORDANCE IT ALSO MEANS TO FORETELL. REVELATION..KNOWING THINGS OF OTHER PEOPLE...BUT THAT IS WHY HE ALSO SAYS ALL PROPHETS ARE SUBJECT TO THE PROPHETS...THE TEACHING PROPHESY IS A DIFFERENT FORM OF PROPHECY..THAT IS REVEALING MYSTERIES OF WISDOM OF THE BIBLE...1 TIMOTH 4 14. THAT IS WHY THE WORD TEACHING IS USED WITH PROPHECY IN 1 TIM 4 VS 14. FORETELLING PROPHECY IN 1 CORINTHIANS 14...THE DEFINITION OF THE WORD USED FOR PROPHECY IN THAT VERSE DOES INCLUDE FORETELLING. WHICH IS WHY HE ALSO SAYS ALL THE PROPHETS ARE SUBJECT TO THE PROPHETS. ALL PROPHETS. PERIOD. ALL. ALL INCLUSIVE. THAT YOU MAY ALL PROPHESY. ALL . ALL INCLUSIVE. ALL FORMS OF PROPHECY. THAT IS WHY THE WORD USED WHEN YOU LOOK UP IN CONCORDANCE...INCLUDES.....FORETELLING. THERE IS NOT OTHER INSTRUCTION FOR HOW PROPHECY IS TO BE USED. SO ALL PEOPLE HAVING CLAIM TO HAVE DREAMS REVELATIONS VISIONS ETC....ALL COME UNDER THE ORDER AND DIVINE INSTRUCTION OF 1 CORINTHIANS 14. TO SAY THAT FORETELLING IS NOT RELEVANT TO 1 CORINTHIANS 14 IS TO OPEN THE DOOR TO DISORDER. YOU DO NOT MENTION ANY INSTRUCTION FOR DREAMS AND REVELATIONS THAT FORETELL....SO YOU INTRODUCE DISORDER. ALL PROPHESY IS SUBJECT TO THE INSTRUCTION OF 1 CORINTHIANS 14. IT SAYS ALL PROPHESY. READ THE DEFINTIONS FOR THE WORDS WHEN THE BIBLE WAS WRITTEN. BECAUSE THE DEFINITIONS OF WORDS USED ARE RELEVANT. JUDGE FOR EXAMPLE HAS DIFFERENT DEFINITIONS IN VARIOUS VERSES WHEN YOU LOOK UP THE ORIGINAL DEFINITIONS. ONE MEANS TO EVALUATE THE OTHER MEANS TO CONDEMN. DIFFERENT MEANING DIFFERENT CONTEXT. PROPHESY PROPHECY UNDER 1 CORINTHIANS INCLUDES FORETELL. AND IT SAYS ALL PROPHESY AND IS ALL INCLUSIVE. BUT MUST BE DONE IN ORDER PER 1 CORINTHIANS 14.
Think the Pastor is missing the point of this passage. People who have this opportunity to do do good to those who mistreat them, and to pray for them that they see what is necessary to gain Heaven, ARE GIVEN A GREAT GIFT, THAT OTHERS ARE NOT GIVEN. There need to be these people in our lives, if we want our reward to be great in Heaven. So this should not be viewed as a difficult or challenging passage, AT ALL, but rather a passage which presents, to the lucky ones who have been mistreated, a tremendous oppotunity others may never receive.
It sounds like you're saying we ought to REJOICE when we are persecuted and treated badly... AMEN!
