I can't judge them, they love Jesus, and not all Christians believe the same as in tithing, the Rapture, speaking in tongues, Word of Faith etc.

I have really enjoyed this quarterly so far as the lessons are so appropriate.

It is a burden we must bear to know this among so many who seek out sin in others. We have received mercy in our awesome Salvation, Yeshua, and because we wish to keep it as good stewards of our Savior we must share that mercy with all, even our enemies, should we have any.

Happy Sabbath to all. As we head to Sabbath School today 6/8/19 I recall last weeks sermon by the pastor regarding the relationship between the old testament and new testament as the old points to the first coming of Christ and the new points to the second. Also how in the old there was need for animal sacrifices for the forgiveness of sins, and under the new covenant that is no longer needed as Christ has become our sacrificial lamb. One question I will take to Sabbath School today if given the opportunity to ask is: If Christ is our sacrificial lamb why is it that we still have to die once ? Shouldn't we have already learned how to apply God laws and live forever. Thus making the Glorious Church that received Christ the second time ? Inquisitive minds want to know. God Bless you all.

In regards to dying, it's probably not so much a punishment but rather a transformation into a new, perfect, immortal body. It does say that it is appointed for each person to die but even then, it appears that there will be those who are called up to the sky to be with Jesus. I suppose that even those that are caught up, will in a sense, die because they will be transformed also. We are, of course, be willing and able to learn how to apply God's laws into our everyday life but unfortunately we live in an evil imperfect world.
