    God’s name….

    I think that what God wants more than just to be known by a name, is to be understood. In other words, is more important to Him, and vital to us, even salvational, that we fully understand and know not just Who God is, but what He is. What His name actually means, for it is His glory. Moses...

    God’s name….

    Sad that you should come to such a focus. Shouldn't you ought to be remembering that rather than punishment, you would state, Throughout the history of the nation of Israel, likewise the value of obedience was demonstrated in how God responded to their disobedience.…. always with grace and mercy.

    God’s name….

    While I agree that it is essential to need keeping the commandments, both Jews and Gentiles, and in both old and new testaments, never was obedience the way to eternal life. Yes, it was a criteria, but the way was always by faith in the blood of the Lamb. Righteousness, comes by faith. Obedience...

    There is only one measure and one standard of righteousness. Christ and the law which He personified. “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...

    I think a global flood through which all but 8 were destroyed is a death sentence. Noah was a preacher of righteousness... As was Lot, and Jesus, after which judgement fell. There is another judgement coming with Christ's return. The only standard of righteousness given in scripture is God's ten...

    All of that sounds super religious, even spiritual. And every word is true in the right context. But in the wrong context, and being used in a manner that was never intended, (to justify disobedience), those words become profane. Like the strange fire of Nadab and Abihu.

    You would love to have it that way. But nowhere in scripture does it suggest that one replaces the other. Nowhere. Anywhere. And contextually, that change in the law is in direct reference only to Christ's priesthood, because He isn't from the tribe of Levi. You cannot extend is meaning to the...

    From this...to this .. That you have resorted to this tells me much about you. First, that you do not really understand scripture. Second, you presume I don't think I understand it either. The change in the law in that context has absolutely no connection whatsover with the Ten Commandments...

    Will you go to heaven when you die? - (or the other place)

    The place of God throne, inside the sanctuary. No No Absolutely. That's where we'll be, until... The meek inherit the earth. And you've answered your own question as to whether there is still a heaven after the new heavens... So yes, but God throne will no longer be there. The Father and...

    What are we doing here?

    Sally, I believe it's going to get a lot darker yet. We have to get to the stage when chaos reigns, and the world will welcome the Antichrist as it's saviour. We aren't there yet. But we are getting closer at an increasing rate of knots.

    Lol. Did I say that?

    What are we doing here?

    So why am I here? To be a brake light. To make people stop or pause and think. I can't force anyone to detour, dodge, redirect, or U-turn. That's up to them. I simply want people to think. And too many don't.

    What are we doing here?

    Mmm. This tired old world has bits not only wearing out, but falling off. The Earth's stresses becomes our own, and we eventually end up one with it. But praise God for the hope of a new life at the resurrection. Not far off methinks.

    Your reply encapsulates the very essence as to why people will not "hear" what you have to say.

    Hi Helen. Wonderful to see you are still alive and kicking.

    Reader Poll - Would you be a Christian if there was no afterlife?

    I've already lived as if there were no after life. It was miserable. Lonely. Selfish. Unsatisfying. Superficial. No comparison with today. I know Jesus. Living my best life.

    Interesting. This is precisely what seventh Day Adventists have been teaching would take place since the late 1800s. I notice you say "a" Sabbath day. Guess which day the church will choose as it's Sabbath. And who will be at the forefront of promoting such a scenario where "all the world will...

    I appreciate a few things about language. It changes. Over the centuries certain words and expressions have taken on new meaning. Some examples...gay, sick, kicks, to name a very few. I have a question. When did the word fulfil change its meaning to cancel, remove, expunge etc when applied to...
