This is Blasphemy! !!! I DECLARE JIHAD !!!!

JIHAD ON EVERYONE !!!!

Death to all Fanatics !!!

Answer 2

Testament means story

So we have the old story and the new story. They relate in the bible as pre sin debt paid, and post sin debt paid.

We are living in the age of GRACE, post sin debt paid.
It is a very special time to be living in to know that the prophecy has been fulfilled and still look forward to the day when perfect communion is restored between us and God, so that once again we can walk with him without sin coming inbetween us.

Once this age of GRACE that we are living in is over, there is one more age that some humans must live through and that is the book of Revelation. No longer will the church(body of believers) be here and evil and sin will rule unabated.

At the end of this time period, that is when the heavens and the earth will be destroyed and God will bring down the new heavens and the new earth and perfection will once again be the normal.
No sun, no nighttime, no darkness, the beast of the wild shall be led by a child and the lion will lay down with the lamb.

Answer 3

Only God knows that. It doesn´t have to end.

Some will have everlasting life on the earth and some will revert to the spirit realm and operate from there.

maybe those on the earth will be able to go to other worlds to help
advance Gods creation, after all the earth will be quite full once everyone who deserves it has been resurected.

With God there is not limit, is no end. ANYthing is possible, don´t doubt the creator of the universe, if you do who Can you trust.

Answer 4

Today it is a common practice to refer to the Scriptures written in Hebrew and Aramaic as “The Old Testament.” This is based on the reading in 2Co 3:14 in the Latin Vulgate and the King James Version. The Christian Greek Scriptures are commonly called “The New Testament.” It is to be noted that in 2Co 3:14 the word di·a·the′kes means “covenant,” as in the other 32 places where it occurs in the Greek text.—See App 7D.

Concerning the meaning of the Latin word testamentum (genitive, testamenti), Edwin Hatch, in his work Essays in Biblical Greek, Oxford, 1889, p. 48, states that “in ignorance of the philology of later and vulgar Latin, it was formerly supposed that ‘testamentum,’ by which the word [di·a·the′ke] is rendered in the early Latin versions as well as in the Vulgate, meant ‘testament’ or ‘will,’ whereas in fact it meant also, if not exclusively, ‘covenant.’” Likewise, in A Bible Commentary for English Readers by Various Writers, edited by Charles Ellicott, New York, Vol. VIII, p. 309, W. F. Moulton wrote that “in the old Latin translation of the Scriptures testamentum became the common rendering of the word [di·a·the′ke]. As, however, this rendering is very often found where it is impossible to think of such a meaning as will (for example, in Ps. lxxxiii, 5, where no one will suppose the Psalmist to say that the enemies of God ‘have arranged a testament against Him’), it is plain that the Latin testamentum was used with an extended meaning, answering to the wide application of the Greek word.”—See Ps 25:10 and Ps 83:5 ftns.

In view of the above, the rendering “old testament” in the King James Version in 2Co 3:14 is incorrect. Many modern translations correctly read “old covenant” at this point. Here the apostle Paul is not referring to the Hebrew and Aramaic Scriptures in their entirety. Neither does he mean that the inspired Christian writings constitute a “new testament (covenant).” The apostle is speaking of the old Law covenant, which was recorded by Moses in the Pentateuch and which makes up only a part of the pre-Christian Scriptures. For this reason he says in the next verse, “whenever Moses is read.”

Therefore, there is no valid basis for the Hebrew and Aramaic Scriptures to be called “The Old Testament” and for the Christian Greek Scriptures to be called “The New Testament.” Jesus Christ himself referred to the collection of sacred writings as “the Scriptures.” (Mt 21:42; Mr 14:49; Joh 5:39) The apostle Paul referred to them as “the holy Scriptures,” “the Scriptures” and “the holy writings.” (Ro 1:2; 15:4; 2Ti 3:15) In harmony with the inspired utterance in Ro 1:2, the New World Translation contains in its title the expression “the Holy Scriptures.”

Answer 5

I'm not sure what your question is.

I do know that there is only one testament. The Bible.

The bible can be divided into Hebrew scriptures and Greek scriptures.

But it is still only one testament.

Only a small portion of the Hebrew scriptures were "done away" with when Christ ended the law.

But even these verses are benificial for teaching and reproving because they provide an insight to the mind of God.

Answer 6

We are living on the last pages of Revelation, the last book of the new testament. We are living in the time of the Judgment period on Christianity by Jesus Christ, head of the Christian church. This is the Judgment on the top ministers who are leading the people, not the followers in general.

Answer 7

Read the entire Bible it is all clear. Yes, God warns us this world shall perish. It shall be the same as when the world was detroyed by flood (Noahs days)...only the next time it will be destroyed by fire. This life will pass. When we die, we will be asleep. On judgment day the souls/spirits shall rise and we all shall be judged by our works both good and bad. The place we go after that will be determined by how we have lived. God tells us we will have new bodies and a new home.

Answer 8

The bible consists of 2 testaments, the old and new or the previous and the current testament. The definition of a testament is a dispesation or covenant, as in the last will and testament.
These words are the strongest we have to verify the truth and commitment we have between our self and someone else. Such as a binding agreement between God and mankind. In the bible God has spoken. He has revealed Himself; His nature, His heart, His personality, His attitude and that He wants us to know Him and be in a relationship with Him. The Old Testament was God's original covenant between God and man. The covenant of the law, which allowed man to have a formal relationship with God through the Levitical priesthood as a mediator and enabled man to understand that he is not equal to God and is a captive to sin. The New Testament does away with the old covenant in the sense that we (mankind) no longer have to be held captive to sin in our life. God has provided a way to break free from the bondage of sin in our life. The New Testament does not do away with the value, insight and wisdom that God gives us about Himself and us in the Old Testament. How we should honor, respect, value and relate to God as well as each other. The new covenant between God and man allows everyone who wants to know God and have a personal relationship with God able to do so on their own by having Jesus and Jesus alone be the mediater between God and all mankind.

In the bible God expresses His desire for us to be in a relationship with Him and He has given us the steps He has provided for us so that we may do so. Man has not determined the process of how to reach and know God, God Himself has done this. God has reached out to man and let mankind know that He exists and how to have a relationship with Him and to know Him personally. Because God has done this we, each and every one of us, have the choice to accept or reject His offer; the offer of an eternal, everlasting personal relationship with God Almighty, the Creator of the Universe and ALL life in it including all the benefits, perks and rewards: that is freely given and offered to all mankind, without acception.

The questions you have about the future are good and show that you have read the bible. God has revealed some of our future that is His soveriegn will for us. Since we look through a glass darkly when trying to understand God, His mindset and His will it is truly beyond us to understand and comprehend the future that God has for us. I look at it like a parent who has the most awesome gift for their child and can't tell you what it is, however, as a parent, I want you to know it's really something so I have given you some clues to let you know I have a prepared something for you for your future and it is really going to be something GREAT. This does not mean that the details are not important, it does mean that we need to be focused on God's priorities in our life and continue grow and build on our personal relationship with Him.

God has said to ask Him for wisdom and He will give it to us.
God bless you, keep you and protect you in your search for THE TRUTH.

Answer 9

I believe this to mean that at the end of time, as we know it, the earth and the heavens will be transformed. They will not be destroyed only changed, and we will be changed also. We will be like the resurrected Jesus. How this will happen is beyond our comprehension. The Bible tells us so.
