These Bible Q and A programs
00:00:01.33\00:00:02.66
tend to go by in a great hurry.
00:00:02.70\00:00:04.13
Thank you, Pastor
John, Pastor Ryan,
00:00:04.17\00:00:05.90
Jill, for
opening the Word of God.
00:00:05.93\00:00:07.70
Any closing thoughts,
anything else you'd like to add
00:00:07.74\00:00:09.60
because it's like rapid fire
00:00:09.64\00:00:10.97
all these questions and answers.
00:00:11.01\00:00:12.34
Very quickly on
things to do on the Sabbath.
00:00:12.37\00:00:13.84
Okay. And this
is Exodus 20:8-11.
00:00:13.88\00:00:16.24
The Bible says,
00:00:16.28\00:00:17.61
"Nor the stranger that
is within your gates..."
00:00:17.65\00:00:19.88
Whenever we have
people visiting us
00:00:19.91\00:00:21.42
that are not
Christians are not Adventists,
00:00:21.45\00:00:23.59
we say, in this
house, we honor the Sabbath,
00:00:23.65\00:00:25.52
so we don't allow
even our guests in our home
00:00:25.55\00:00:28.39
to lead us in
violation of God's Sabbath.
00:00:28.42\00:00:30.69
The highest point of obedience
is our commitment to Christ.
00:00:30.73\00:00:34.56
Don't let anyone modify that.
00:00:34.56\00:00:36.73
Excellent, Pastor,
thank you for that.
00:00:36.80\00:00:38.27
Yeah, back on the
state of the dead issue,
00:00:38.30\00:00:39.90
you know, many people
believe in this immortal soul.
00:00:39.97\00:00:42.50
So as we die, we
immediately go to heaven.
00:00:42.54\00:00:44.24
But the Bible
makes it very clear
00:00:44.27\00:00:45.67
in Ecclesiastes 9:5, 6, and 10,
00:00:45.71\00:00:48.88
"That the dead
know not anything,
00:00:48.91\00:00:50.91
that their thoughts and
their love and their hatred
00:00:50.95\00:00:52.61
and all that perishes,
00:00:52.65\00:00:53.98
so when they go to
the grave, they sleep
00:00:54.05\00:00:55.62
unto the Second
Coming of Christ,"
00:00:55.65\00:00:57.22
which, as Jesus said in John 11,
00:00:57.25\00:00:58.99
as Martha said,
00:00:59.02\00:01:00.46
"until the Resurrection
Day, on the last day."
00:01:00.49\00:01:02.82
That's when Christ returns.
00:01:02.86\00:01:04.19
Amen.
00:01:04.23\00:01:05.56
Thank you very
much. How about you, Jill?
00:01:05.59\00:01:06.96
I would say
00:01:07.00\00:01:08.30
going back to
Michelle's question on suicide,
00:01:08.33\00:01:09.66
and she referenced that
00:01:09.70\00:01:11.03
her nephew-in-law
suffered from severe depression,
00:01:11.07\00:01:13.03
and I didn't have time
in my answer to cover that.
00:01:13.07\00:01:15.40
But mental
illness is a real thing.
00:01:15.44\00:01:17.97
Yeah, it is.
00:01:18.01\00:01:19.34
That there's many,
many people globally
00:01:19.37\00:01:21.44
who suffer with depression
00:01:21.48\00:01:22.88
or other types of mental illness
00:01:22.91\00:01:25.21
that lead to doing things
00:01:25.25\00:01:26.78
that if you were
in your right mind,
00:01:26.85\00:01:28.48
I mean that in
the best way possible,
00:01:28.52\00:01:29.95
you would not necessarily do.
00:01:29.98\00:01:31.92
So I'm so grateful
that our God is the judge.
00:01:31.95\00:01:35.52
He knows our minds.
He knows our frailties.
00:01:35.56\00:01:37.96
He knows our frame,
00:01:37.99\00:01:39.33
and we can trust our
lives and our eternal salvation
00:01:39.36\00:01:42.23
in His hands.
00:01:42.26\00:01:43.60
Amen. Thank you.
00:01:43.67\00:01:45.00
Thank you all three again.
00:01:45.03\00:01:46.37
