___________________________________________instead of marriage ; I would say "family"
these who cast out demons ; never became "family"
"family" is known
"family" has that intimacy you are speaking of
Jesus came "to make" children of God --{or family}

“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. 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.’ But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’ Matthew 7:21-23
What is everyone's interpretation of these verses and who is Jesus referring to specifically? Please be specific.
i think jesus was saying that to those particlar group of people only believed in jesus christ only to get into heaven, and because god is all knowing, he knew that they just wanted to believe just for their benefit, not because they really loved him. or people just say they are christians and live their life that is going against yahweh's laws.
where did you got the idea of mary not having the original sin? I thought everyone is descended from adam and eve. and from adam and eve had the original sin.
believing in jesus christ is more of being friends with god, rather than a way to heaven. heaven is just a party where god resides and anyone who is friends with him and genuinely like him will get into heaven.
