Yes, "cosmic and dramatic events await." But only in the smallest way--which is only because of the unbelief of many, and yet for the further evidence that God is true for the new believer. But you should really get off the "preterist" pet peeve. That is not at all what prompted the foretold...

Yes...the problem is--they remain among us in sheep's clothing. Even here. And many are their victims.

Good point of bringing it into the present day! Yes, many theologians more worship the written word, than they do the Author...and therefore, do not know Him and His ways as they should. Which is relevant to Jesus' warning and Him saying to some who think they know better, but will hear from...

That's the way I take it, both were all about the letter of the law.

I was referring to religious Lawyers being mentioned by Jesus in the scriptures. Luke 11:46 Luke 11:52

Anyone wanting to watch a great church service dedicated to remembering 9-11, this is a great one (1-of-3 parts), on YouTube: What God Must Do - Part 1

It sounds like you have pretty good grasp of it. But, yes, a goat fights, but a sheep surrenders--that is, to the Shepherd. Certainly goats can surrender, but will they? Many will not.

This is essentially what God has done by inspiring His word to be written over time, "precept upon precept, Line upon line, line upon line, Here a little, there a little.” Isaiah 28:10 How should such a marvelous work be understood? Is it any wonder it would require that we "not be conformed...

This is like what God told Elijah: 1 Kings 17:4 And it will be that you shall drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.” Which is to say, that even the ravens who rob to eat will be a source of food for you--even from heaven, as "all things work together for good...

I have not taken away nor added to what is written, but you have taken away what I have quoted of it. And you underline doing so with the error of cults, you being guilty where I have not errored, but you yourself have by taking away. As for the many forms and the mystery, I have explained it...

Please see post #84. The reason is not that I cut Him off, but rather that He added on for the sake of Israel who would recognize those other names. But according to the explanation given in post #80, I was happy with "just the inner meaning of the name" as they explained it...just as it was...

You keep reverting back to the natural and the times of this world, which certainly carry the image of what is true in the heavenly realm. But just as Jesus came preaching "The kingdom of God is like...", all these things have been and are only a likeness in the smallest way, and not what is...

Poll: Tattoo artist: if a daughter/son of yours worked as a tattoo artist, would you be supportive? Yes, I would--just as I would support my daughter or son if they worked making Ketchup. :D But I still wouldn't put it on steak. ;)

If that question is for me as it seems...I am not a Lawyer, so: No.

Thanks, that's all very informative! However, personally--which was the nature of the Original Post question, it all brings me full circle to "it is just the inner meaning of the name." That inner meaning is indeed what is behind the names also given, just as most names are--and it is that...

Certainly in a fallen world--God is "very peculiar", as He ought to be. An example would be Jesus' explanation to Nicodemus about the need to also be born again of the spirit of God, or telling His disciples that they must eat His flesh and drink His blood or they have no part with Him. What...

You are failing miserably.

God has plans for those among His own people who run contrary to Him. Jesus' word to the Pharisees, Scribes, Hypocrites, Blind Guides, and Lawyers was "Woe", meaning: "an interjection of grief or of denunciation." As this example passage; Matthew 23:13 “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees...
