Bible Question:
This is for Doc.: Thank you for responding. In your reply to above verse, acccording to John Gill, in 1st paragraph it states: "to be called by His name, to bear His name." His name is Jehovah (I am not a Jehovah's Witness), but this statement makes me wonder. Please reply as to your thinking on above. |
Bible Answer: Dear Raffa; I think you are not seeing the big picture. Look at the book of Acts, what is it about? Is it not the beginning of the church? Who did God start the church with? Was it not His Son Jesus? Calling oneself by a name does not make that person right with God does it? What makes a person right with God in your thinking? Sincerely, Val |
