00:01 These Bible Q and A programs
00:02 tend to go by in a great hurry. 00:04 Thank you, Pastor John, Pastor Ryan, 00:05 Jill, for opening the Word of God. 00:07 Any closing thoughts, anything else you'd like to add 00:09 because it's like rapid fire 00:11 all these questions and answers. 00:12 Very quickly on things to do on the Sabbath. 00:13 Okay. And this is Exodus 20:8-11. 00:16 The Bible says, 00:17 "Nor the stranger that is within your gates..." 00:19 Whenever we have people visiting us 00:21 that are not Christians are not Adventists, 00:23 we say, in this house, we honor the Sabbath, 00:25 so we don't allow even our guests in our home 00:28 to lead us in violation of God's Sabbath. 00:30 The highest point of obedience is our commitment to Christ. 00:34 Don't let anyone modify that. 00:36 Excellent, Pastor, thank you for that. 00:38 Yeah, back on the state of the dead issue, 00:39 you know, many people believe in this immortal soul. 00:42 So as we die, we immediately go to heaven. 00:44 But the Bible makes it very clear 00:45 in Ecclesiastes 9:5, 6, and 10, 00:48 "That the dead know not anything, 00:50 that their thoughts and their love and their hatred 00:52 and all that perishes, 00:54 so when they go to the grave, they sleep 00:55 unto the Second Coming of Christ," 00:57 which, as Jesus said in John 11, 00:59 as Martha said, 01:00 "until the Resurrection Day, on the last day." 01:02 That's when Christ returns. 01:04 Amen. 01:05 Thank you very much. How about you, Jill? 01:07 I would say 01:08 going back to Michelle's question on suicide, 01:09 and she referenced that 01:11 her nephew-in-law suffered from severe depression, 01:13 and I didn't have time in my answer to cover that. 01:15 But mental illness is a real thing. 01:18 Yeah, it is. 01:19 That there's many, many people globally 01:21 who suffer with depression 01:22 or other types of mental illness 01:25 that lead to doing things 01:26 that if you were in your right mind, 01:28 I mean that in the best way possible, 01:29 you would not necessarily do. 01:31 So I'm so grateful that our God is the judge. 01:35 He knows our minds. He knows our frailties. 01:37 He knows our frame, 01:39 and we can trust our lives and our eternal salvation 01:42 in His hands. 01:43 Amen. Thank you. 01:45 Thank you all three again. 01:46 We want to say thank you for joining us on 3ABN today, 01:49 Bible Q and A. 01:50 I want to encourage you to open the Word of God. 01:53 We hope that you have joined us today 01:54 by opening the Word of God, 01:55 but also don't forget to study His Word 01:57 on a daily basis. 01:59 We'll see you again next time, same place. 02:01 Bye-bye. |
