If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
Specifically for the lawless, ( which is the covenant breakers) that question above is easy to answer to them.
Jesus taught us, who breaks His least commandments and teaches men that way ( evil lawless covenant breaking way ) fails to exceed the righteousness of the Pharisees ( as they remain as Pharisees, all talk and no bite)
Jesus also taught that even anger against another makes us in danger of hell fire......
Matthew 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 5:22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
Here in Mathew 5:27-29, is where the mocking Pharisees fail, they mock at the words of God ( who they foolishly claim to believe in ) that nobody can pluck out their eye, and not look on a woman to lust after her, or to be cast into hell....
Matthew 5:27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
The Pharisees falls because Jesus surrounds their empty words by words of reason, that to offend one of these little ones who believe in Jesus is what is to be avoided, and to offend them does mean being cast into hell, so the message to stop our eyes offending, stop ourselves offending others, is real, and has to be obeyed ( if we do not like the idea of hell fire)..
Mark 9:42 And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
43 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
Matthew 18, continues the message ( from Heaven ) to humble ourselves, instead of offending others, and the same word on cutting out the offence out of us is shown we need to do to avoid everlasting fire...
Matthew 18:4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
7 Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!
8 Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.
Now into Luke 6, and we see the commandments of Christ continue, the rich will receive nothing further, the ones who laugh and enjoy this life had their life, but to the ones who hear the message of Christ they are to do good to the ones who do evil to them..
Luke 6:24 But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation.
25 Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.
26 Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.
27 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,
Loving our enemies, to receive a reward different to the rich and the ones who love their life, to be merciful as seen in the mercy and grace of Christ, to forgive if we seek forgiveness, to give iof we seek for God to give to us, as everybody receives the same as they believe in..
Luke 6:35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
The mysteries of Heaven are not that difficult, the Pharisee says it is doing as they do, which is all pretense and dispute only, no mercy and kindness and only selfishness, but the ones in the good honest heart keep the word and obey Christ as His example of doing good and well to all..
Luke 8:10 And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.
Luke 8:15 But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.
Then the message continues, to deny ourselves, to lose our life the Pharisees desire to keep, to not be ashamed of the right words and teaching example of Christ but to embrace it all or Christ rightly will be ashamed of us in our unrighteous ways..
Luke 9:23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?
26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels.
Conditions continue, to remember the example of having nowhere and nothing, of not living a lie as others live, and to not fail, as that is told to not be acceptable..
Luke 9:57 And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
58 And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
59 And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
60 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
61 And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.
62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
To show mercy, is to be the sincere neighbour...
Luke 10:36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?
37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.
Now finally, the prayer of faith, for the Lord to forgive us, so we can forgive others, and not offend anyone any more.
The Pharisee full of deceit says, we get forgiveness even though we do not cease to offend, but the message is, when we stop offending, we avoid the everlasting fire...
Luke 11:2 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.
3 Give us day by day our daily bread.
4 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.
Luke 11 shows that, to seek the message of Heaven, to ask for it and receive it, because the evil know how to give good, and when the evil pray for forgiveness, what good is it, if they also do not pray for the Holy Ghost and then learn how to cease from offending others ?
Luke 11:9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?
12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?
13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

Adam, if only you would take your little sermonettes seriously. You've claimed to be sinless but when ARE you going to stop sinning?
If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

⚠️⚠️ Adam 7777 is a Jehovah witness and this is what they believe
Jesus is mediator only for the 144,000 elite JWs ☹️☹️
“The Desire for Peace and Security Worldwide,” 1986, p. 9-12
“Likewise, the Greater Moses, Jesus Christ, is not the Mediator between Jehovah God and all mankind. He is the Mediator between his heavenly Father, Jehovah God, and the nation of spiritual Israel, which is limited to only 144,000 members,” (“The Desire for Peace and Security Worldwide,” 1986, p. 10).
🤔 If the JW’s who are not in the 144,000 don’t have a mediator, then doesn’t that mean that they are dead in their sins❓
🤔 the Jehovah's witnesses also teach the that one must do enough good works to be saved . So Adam it begs the question have you done enough good works to garnish the 144,000 elite title ❓ and if you say yes aren't you being prideful after all it says in Jeremiah 17:9 the heart is desperately wicked who can know it ❓
😢😢 The Jehovah witnesses like other cults who are works based for salvation living a very dark confused world of uncertainty when it comes to their eternal future
🙂🙂 But for those of us who have put our faith in Christ confessed our sins to him no that the moment we do so we are saved and have a relaxing life with him in the kingdom of heaven
Romans 10:9 and 10 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved 10
For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved
🤔❓❓ So who should we believe the cults or or God's holy word the bible ❓❓
Jeremiah 24:15 "...... but as for me and my household we will serve the LORD ”
If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

Correction:. instead of relaxing life it should say eternal life
