Amen, A-G! Thank you for all that supporting Scripture. I wish we had a file system on FR; that post is a keeper.

The purpose for this heaven and earth is the next heaven and earth. Let us be patient.

From the beginning, the Father has been gathering a family with which He will live forever more. Every thing and every event "in" Creation – whether spiritual or physical – serves that end.

Light as well as darkness, Good as well as evil, Courage as well as fear, Health as well as sickness, Paradise/Eden as well as the Lake of Fire – all of it – reveals God to us through contrast - and prepares us to become members of His family.

Amen!!!

Jesus Christ, "the lamb slain from the foundation of the world!" (Rev. 13:8)

FWIW, these threads have been such a great tool to help witness to friends and discuss Scripture with family.

So true.

Praise God for faithful servants through whom He is pleased to "speak." Thanks to both of you for many truth-filled posts. You are both gifted and many of us are blessed by your gifts.
