no one can fathom. 40:29 He gives strength to the weary and increases
the
power of the weak. 40:30 Even youths grow tired and weary, and young
men
stumble and fall; 40:31 but those who hope in the LORD will renew their

grow
weary, they will walk and not be faint."

he passed

and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and

generation."

you become a Christian
after you die?
2 Peter 2:4-6,

God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell,
putting
them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment; 2:5 if he did not
spare
the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but
protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others; 2:6 if
he
condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes,
and
made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly; 2:7 and
if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy
lives
of lawless men 2:8 (for that righteous man, living among them day after
day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw
and
heard) -2:9 if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men
from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while

8. How
many "gods" are
there?
1 John 4:1-3
"Dear friends,
do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they
are
from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 4:2
This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that
acknowledges
that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 4:3 but every
spirit
that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of
the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already
in the world."

religious.
17:23 For as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of
worship,
I even found an altar with this inscription: to an unknown god. Now
what
you worship as something unknown I am going to proclaim to you. 17:30
In
the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people
everywhere to repent.17:31 For he has set a day when he will judge the

this
to all men by raising him from the dead."

whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the
universe.
1:3 The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation
of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had
provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the
Majesty
in heaven. 1:4 So he became as much superior to the angels as the name
he has inherited is superior to theirs."
11. Is
Jesus God or man?
John 1:1 "In
the beginning
was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 1:2 He

life was the light of men."
Hebrews
4:14-16 For
we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our
weaknesses,
but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are - yet

confidence,
so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of
need.

with
your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your
mouth
that you confess and are saved. 10:11 As the Scripture says, "Anyone
who
trusts in him will never be put to shame." 10:12 For there is no
difference
between Jew and Gentile - the same Lord is Lord of all and richly
blesses
all who call on him, 10:13 for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the
Lord will be saved."

16:6
Because I have said these things, you are filled with grief. 16:7 But I
tell you the truth: It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I
go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send
him
to you. 16:8 When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt in
regard
to sin and righteousness and judgment: 16:9 in regard to sin, because
men
do not believe in me; 16:10 in regard to righteousness, because I am
going
to the Father, where you can see me no longer; 16:11 and in regard to
judgment,
because the prince of this world now stands condemned. 16:12 "I have
much
more to say to you, more than you can now bear. 16:13 But when he, the
Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not
speak
on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what
is yet to come. 16:14 He will bring glory to me by taking from what is
mine and making it known to you. 16:15 All that belongs to the Father
is
mine. That is why I said the Spirit will take from what is mine and
make
it known to you.

universe.
1:3 The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation
of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had

seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
11:11 "Which
of you fathers,
if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?

asks for

will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!"

our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and

us from all unrighteousness. 1:10 If we claim we have not sinned, we
make
him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives.
2:1 My dear
children, I
write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we
have one who speaks to the Father in our defense - Jesus Christ, the
Righteous
One. 2:2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for
ours
but also for the sins of the whole world."

it will be laid bare. 3:11 Since everything will be destroyed in this
way,
what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly
lives
3:12 as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. That
day
will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the
elements
will melt in the heat. 3:13 But in keeping with his promise we are

prepared
as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 21:3 And I heard a loud
voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and
he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will
be
with them and be their God. 21:4 He will wipe every tear from their
eyes.
There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old
