What would be the "speck" in Jesus' eye?

Throughout the sermon on the mount, we've seen that everything is about Jesus. But how can we have other applications from other than just "we need Jesus because he fulfills it, he's the only that's righteous."?

Mat 7:21-23 how does this go with Romans 10:9 if you declare Jesus is Lord and believe God raised him from the dead you will be saved? Do the false prophets not believe the second part?

Can Matt 7:21-23 be applied to Christians now? I have heard many preachers express anxiety at these verses that people may not be true followers? Is this a valid thing to feel or is it only applicable to the OT?

How can non Christians find wisdom in the Christian cliches if the Bible is foolishness and folly to the NC? How do they understand without the Holy Spirit? Is it helpful for us to ask, seek and knock if we are already saved?

If there is one faith (Eph 4:4-6), are pre-cross Jews the same as Christians? How does this relate to Romans 11? Can we ever apply the gospel straight to us? e.g. wise as serpents, innocent as doves

V1: What is the reward? Is it our salvation? Do we already have the reward then?

Does Matt 6:12 actually written that way, because Jesus is yet to die & rise again. V14-15 seems to provide a different reason. "neither will your Father forgive your trespasses". So you must forgive others first, before you will be forgiven? & how does this work with saved by faith & faith alone?

Why were the last lines added & should we change how we interpret with the added words to The Lords Prayer?

Should we feel ashamed of our prayers? If they reveal the desires of our hearts how do we balance that with praying for everything?

1. Psalm 139:21-22 - is that not saying "hate your enemies"? 2. Matt 5:29-30 - Ok yes we are forgiven by Jesus this side of the cross, but are we not still meant to take sin seriously? How does v29-30 meaning change pre vs post cross?

Why would Jesus command Jewish ppl to eg. cut out eyes/ hands if he knew he would die and it won't apply to us anymore?

What would living out rest look like on this side of the cross? Ive had my minister say Sabbath 'as practice' is the only thing that doesn't continue after the cross bc we rest in Jesus... is that all it is?

Why do we not have any of of Jesus' teachings from after the cross recorded?

How do we correctly interpret OT law. Jesus interprets some of them, but how do we know if we are correct in a interpretation?
