What is the duty of man here on earth?

[rcruman]

So it is this issue, Man's Freedom and deny God, Man has no Freedom and you accept God.
The freedom is to follow Him or Not.
God didn't force us to follow Him.
Its our own will to follow Him or not.
Did God force us or put a knife to our neck just to follow Him?
The moment you've decided to follow Him then His will must be done not our own.

Peace!

[The_Child]

That is in itself a limitations to our freedom. To follow or not to follow. Its as if the world is merely black and white.
You follow you get heaven, you dont follow you get fire and brimstone.

Would have love to expound further but i have the feeling we're going to sink deeper to the usual conversation of "over-use ancient citations"

[Sinyalan]

I agree TC. :mrgreen:

Let's just say thought provoking process....

[leo_trams]

Can you give a duty of man here on earth?
What do we need to do?

Peace!

Are you asking a question or you are questioning?

I know how to READ but it does not necessarily follow that I UNDERSTAND...labi na ang Bible.
I do not pretend to UNDERSTAND. Mao nga mangutana ko. hehehe
It doesn't follow nga you read then you've understand it, it depends on your intention.
And reading the bible must be guided by the holy spirit for us to understand it, God will let you understand it.
23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. Proverbs 1:23.
Before you read the bible you must turn back first to His reproof.
And besides you're not asking question but you're questioning (having answers on mind already).

Why do you ask questions which you already know the answers?
What is your point?

Imong buot ipagawas nga mas makinaadmanon ka kaysa uban dinhi?
That you are closer to God because all questions that anyone have in their minds have answers that you know where to find in the Bible?
That you are sure of your answers? Hmm...How sure are you?

Did God appointed or annointed or give you the authority to speak and interpret the Bible for Him?

more answers will lead to more questions..
more conclusions, more confusions..

para nako, man on earth has no duty..
just be good and find peace..

man did make the bible(literally).. but it was supposed to lead us to more answers.
now, most people use the bible to argue..

just be good and find peace..
Then is your duty.

Argument is good just to justify or to know the truth.
Many people use the word of God to deceive and make merchandise for their own purpose.


Peace!

Many people use the word of God to deceive and make merchandise for their own purpose.

OT:
How do we determine those kinds of people?

[leo_trams]

Then is your duty.

You ask a question...then you already have your answer.
What's the point sir?

Is this thread your showcase of your intellect?

[leo_trams]

According to the scriptures:
13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
Ecclesiastes 12:13-14.
PEace!

See! You already have the answer but you still ask the question.
What's the point?
