Hi Aixen7z4, LOVE is a very very powerful word, if not the most powerful word in the dictionary.lOVE encompasses everything that is spiritually, legally and morally good. When there is love in our hearts, minds and souls our actions respond to the goodness and dictates of our hearts.When there is love ,anger and hatred-the greatest enemies of mankind-are absent and anything that opposes to love will disappear. Having expounded the power of love, I now refer to your recent response and give an excerpt of the part on which I wish to comment. You said "What if we abolished all the old commandments and just kept two "love God" and "Love one another" Would you be in favour of that? That would keep us killing and stealing obviously, but also from adultery and envy" With spiritual love in our hearts the question of whether we are in favour of abolishing the old commandments does not arise and kept two i.e. 1.Love God. 2. Love one another. A big yes to these. If we comply with just these two commandments and live our lives accordingly,we shall be on good ground and when the time comes we shall be on our way to our desired final destination--Heaven With love in Christ.

Hi Ajxen7z4 This is a belated "Thank you" for having come to my rescue.I would have thought that by the manner and fashion I spelt out my comment especially in connection with the 2 commandments under discussion, it was obvious that I was in a zestful mood and my mind at that time was wishful too. However, I now realised that I had inadvertenly caused a couple of persons to feel hot in the collar though to cause unpleasantness was never in my mind.Nevertheless, I tender herewith my apologies. By the way, what was in Jesus mind when He said "All the law and the prophets hang on to these two commandments" Mat.22:40 refers. With love in Christ. FytRobert |

Hi Pastor Glenn, Thanks for your prompt and excellent answear as commented by Makarios but unfortunately, I am still unable to draw a conclusion. Did Elijah and Enoch go up into heaven, if not, where did God take them to? Bearing in mind of what Jesus said in John3:13."....no one has ever gone into heaven.." Your comments will no doubt ease my mind. With love in Christ FytRobert |

Hi Makarios, I note with appreciation your helpful and lengthy answear.However,in order to get to the gist of it I have to delete the frills, why and how. You said: [1]"Both Enoch and Elijah experienced being taken up into heaven alive by God". [2]"Therefore, no other man but Jesus could truthfully attribute to Himself the words that Jesus spoke of Himself in John3:13" [3]"Therefore, is there a contradiction between John3:13 and with what happened to Enoch and Elijah? No, there is not" My comments are: [1] You have admittedly said that both Enoch and Elijah were taken up to heaven alive by God. [2]In John 3:13 there are two parts: a."No one has ever gone into heaven"[no human being] b."Except the one who came down from heaven- the son of man" In the first part,viz.[a]above, Jesus was making a statement of truth. whilst in the secong part,viz,[b]Jesus was referring to Himself as you have said so. It would appear that your conclusion,viz[3]above is not being supported by the above analysis. However, I would invite you to comment further. with love in Christ. FytRobert |

Hi Tim Moran, My mind is very much at ease now and receptive to your concise and direct approach to the subject. Your statement:"So, I would say that untilChrist was resurrected,no one went to Heaven,not even Elijah and Enoch." has brought back my earlier question to my mind,"...where did God take them[Enoch andElijah] to?" Perhaps, God had taken them to another world which is far and beyond and which has yet to be discovered by the human race. Is this a possibility? With love in Christ. FytRobert |

Hi Tim Moran, Thanks for your comments which have triggered my mind to ask the following questions. First and foremost, where is hades and how does the soul know the way to hades after death? In view of what Jesus said in John3:13"No man has ever gone into Heaven" you speculated by saying that both Elijah and Enoch went to hades.But hades is a temporary waiting place reserved for souls of dead persons only. So, my dear Tim, are we not in a dilemma? I also infer from your comments that the O,T. Saints in hades were taken up by Christ to be with the Lord.Does this mean that the paradise side of hades is now empty and closed? If this is so,the righteous believers now will be with the Lord immediately after death? And if this is so,then the big judgement day is meant for the unbelievers only? Trusting that you will oblige again by forwarding your comments. With love in Christ. FytRobert |

Hi, Nowadays, throughout the world, itis not uncommon to read reports that christians,muslims, jews, buddhists and hindus are coming together to offer prayers for peace and tolerance. Two years ago,such a gathering was unthinkable. 1.Does this mean that ultimately all re- ligions lead to the one and same God? 2.Or,does this mean that every religion has it's own God but they have come to terms to respect and recognise each other's God? Your comments, please. With love in Christ. FytRobert |

Hi CDBJ, Thanks for your response but regretably you have chosen to comment on my salutation instead of an- swearing the questions.Looking at your personal profile,I am sure you are more than able to understand my questions and I am eagerly looking forward to your comments. With love in Christ FytRobert |

Hi CDBJ, I appreciate your prompt reply with a few quotations from the Bible.Though the urge inside me was to immediately air my views on the few points mentioned by you, I was unable to do so until now due to time constraint. I feel that animosity was present in your reply; appended below are just two excerpts and my comments: 1 You said:"With a point system the only one impressed is the one cranking out the points not a Holy God." My comments:Before I read your reply I believe my mind was in a state of peace , happiness and always looking forward to make progress in my studies of the truth. But now after digesting all that you have so kindly imparted,I am not so sure of my own mind-is it still stable or going the cranky way? 2.You said:"The reason that I commented on your salutation was because it was the only part of your question that wasn't contrary to Scripture. If possibly your method of being in Christ happened to follow the same line as your question then there would be another issue that should be addressed." My comments:My innocent question was judged to be contrary to Scripture and I was harshly admonished.Now my salutation is under suspect.What comes next? I am envious of you that God has guided you well to acquire a very sound knowledge of the Bible.As for me,my hunger for God's precios Words was insatiable but now I am having second thought.Because if I were to be too well versed in God's Words I might suffer the consequential tendency or inclination to be critical and confrontational instead of extending a helpful hand to guide those who are not so fortunate to be well versed in the Words of our Lord. If my innocent question posted on7-4-04 has caused you to feel the way you have demonstrated yourself in words, I tender my appologies herewith and I would take this opportunity to assure you that there was no intention what so ever to cause ill feeling except to seek guidance. |

Hi, Thanks for the three responses and I have studied all the Bible quotations mentioned therein.Regretably, I find that with my limitedcapablity of understanding of the Bible,my question is still very much intact. For your convenience, I append hereunder the question. "Is it compulsory or customary for Christians to attend Sunday Services, or it is up to the individual's mood?" Hopefully, someone will be kind enough to forward simple,direct and relevant comments. No deduction,please.Answears derived by deduction could be misleading because this method of obtaining answears is very subjective. Thanks FytRobert |

Hi CDBJ, You do not appear to get the gist of my question. May be, by fragmentation and rephrasing the question as follow, would assist you in answearing them. 1.You attend Sunday Service-do you feel that there is something or someone compelling you to attend? 2.You attend Sunday Service because you see that most Christians go to Sunday Service regularly,so you also want to make your present felt? 3.You attend Sunday Service because you feel the feeling-good feeling? If your answear is "NO" to all the above questions,then provide your personal reasons for attending Sunday Service. Because of my limited knowledge of the Bible, comparatively speaking,I am unable to oblige you with answears to the questions you posed to me. However, it would be educational to learn what your answears would be to your own questions. I repeat the questions below. 1.Have you come to the place yet where you can say for sure,if you were to die to-day that you would goto heaven that the Bible speaks of? 2.If you were to die to-day and God were to ask you,why should I let you into my heaven, what would you tell Him,what do you think you would say,what you know about the Bible? Have a good time.FytRobert |

Hi CDBJ, Thanks for your prompt response and I must say that you have done wellas anticipated, with the first 3 questions.But you were rather evasive with the following 2 questions you originally set for me,It would be very educational,if you were to provide answears in the same fashion and manner- direct,simple, short and sweet. For ease of reference, the 2 questions are repeated here. 1.Have you come the place yet where you can say for sure,if you were to die to-day that you would go to heaven that the Bible speaks of? 2.If you were to die to-day and God were to ask you, why should I let you into my heaven,what would you tell Him, what do you think you would say, what you know about the Bible? Yes, Time does not wait for man. Your answears are therefore urgently awaited, so that many children of God will learn from you in good time. Have a good time. FytRobert |

Hi Tim, Many thanks for your timely response and I feel that a ton of rocks has been lifted from my heart. God has indeed made it so simple for us to be saved and we can also assure ourselves of entry into Heaven provided we conduct ourselves accordingly. Tim, you have equipped me well. Thanks again.
