| Lesson 19: The Law Of The Old That Is Covered In the New Testament: Between Two Or Three Witnesses 2/10/2014 by turtle Matthew 18:15-20 KJV (15) Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. (16) But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. (17) And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican. (18) Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. (19) Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. (20) For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. Everything needs to be established between two or more witness when one has a problem between another person, yet the first thing is first it needs to be addressed between you and the person first to keep the matter private. To keep a matter private is to show respect. Yet if the person disagrees or it causes more problems then it solved, then it needs to be witness in front of more then one person. This way facts are established. It is like with anything things havingto be established as truth. Other words you have a situation of your word against another. At the worse case scenario it needs to be brought before the church if it is a church matter, business matters handled in front of a company and if it is a public matter then it needs to be settled in the courts if it is a problem that is in violation of the law. This teaching is Old and New because what it does it keeps one from bearing false witness against another. Why is truth so important to God and why must humans need facts be established. One we are not God. God is all knowing, and all wisdom. He sees everything and knows everything. We are only seeing 20/20 if that. Tapes and videos establish more truth, yet are not allowed in the courts in most cases. The problem is no one sees the heart or soul of man behind the audio or video. One can not assume anything of another persons intention, because one does not know the motive necessarily. These things must also be established. Our reactions are not always what we would like it to be. Two to use video or audio only proves the existence of maybe it is a problem, or maybe one is reacting to the response of another situation. That is reason for private conversation with a person you have a problem with and then have two or three witnesses if the issue is not resolved. God said do not bear false witness, all of our minds are like a computer chip, yet we often deceive even ourselves. Jesus spoke how things out to be done when telling and establishing the truth. Dear Heavenly Father thank you for the consistency in your word concerning the need for witnesses, In Jesus precious name, Amen. http://www.turtle30cshell.com _ |
