Thank you so much. I agree
???

In the OP you stated:

Can anyone tell me the differance between these two words. I don't see it.

Now you agree with what was said? So you did see the difference?

Which should remind Christians that the only thing God requires when handling the Gospel is its proclamation. Just like heralds in the old days. They simply made a proclamation. It was not their job to argue about the merits of what was proclaimed.

And what needs to be proclaimed as an integral part of the Gospel is this: "God now COMMANDS all med everywhere to repent" (Acts 17:30). If just this one proclamation was placed on billboards in every country it would be equivalent to what Jonah was sent to do in Nineveh.

Yes that is what I was saying now I see it. I agree. I also see that one is a verb and one is a noun. I did see one was a divine truth of the gospel. Hope this was not confusing to you.
