The world of lifeforms communication we live in is engrained with advertisements of all types. In the animal kingdom, males of various species instinctually display themselves in various ways with various playful-but-vital overtures and endowed resources during mating or rutting season to - if not show off themselves - at least attract or make themselves conspicuously enticing to the female or females of their same species.

Regarding humankind, advertisements in print, on screen - whether stationary or in motion - have not merely the purpose of informing people what or who is available to procure but in persuading them to so acquire whatever or whoever is offered.

Such purveyances (and "How are they to hear without a preacher?") are not limited to spouse-acquisition services - whether in newspapers, magazines, on television - but to a vast assortment of other services and inanimate objects (such as spouse-substitutionary erotically-diversionary pics or vids of various types and severities of no-direct- person-relationship-necessary, loneliness-and-extinction-destined, free or paid pornography).

The man who views and lusts with naked images of a generally-anonymous woman or women he is not presently married to, is having an indirect sexual relationship of sorts with her - whether she is aware of it or not, and who exactly he is or they are.

Because of rather-overwhelming sexual duress of gross terroristic immodesty (another type of general-public adultery) - especially during warm weather here in modern America nowadays - do we have our own titillating-imagery harlot-equivalent whore-harems on hard drive, CDs, or flashdrives? We sexually-desperate men quite easily can click our handheld remote control devices in the seclusion of our den at home to view pay-per-view porn movies using our cable-TV subscription, or (and even cheaper) go over to the public libraries containing public internet computers and download (especially by manipulating antiporn-software-installed search portals) all the no-charge-and-no-cost-to-us R-to-XXX photos and videos we want.

Is even suggesting that to you the reader setting up a sexually-oriented stumbling-block?

Ephesians 5:3 But fornication and all [ pornographic ] impurity or covetousness must not even be named [ i.e. suggested ]among you, as is fitting among saints.

It is seemingly safer (and again: much less expensive) than cruising over to local exchange-massage-prostitution outlets, or phoning in a [ harlot ] escort to service us for a while in some motel room, apartment, van, or lockable unisex lavatory.

Such has, in fact, been infrequently done and continues to be - in reaction against and response to sexist heretics:

First Timothy 4:2 . . . through the pretensions of liars whose consciences are seared,
First Timothy 4:3 who forbid marriage and enjoin abstinence from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.

Moreover, divorce-by-death adultery-by-remarriage is presumed 'death-do-us-part' legitimate by mis-asserting that Tamar's Judah, Ruth's Boaz, and Abigail's David had sex resulting in children with their first husbands, and the heresy is exacerbated by misconstruing the Lord's mercy on Bathsheba's David and the forgiven woman caught in adultery - accentuated by misinterpreting Christ's words of there being no "marrying nor given in marriage" in the resurrection (misconstrued by some to presume that there can be and is no nudity in Paradise) plus misapplying St Paul's allowance of widows remarrying in:

First Corinthians 7:39 A wife is bound to her husband as long as he lives. If the husband dies, she is free to be married to whom she wishes, only in the Lord.
First Corinthians 7:40 But in my judgment she is happier if she remains as she is. And I think that I have the Spirit of God.

and:

Romans 7:1 Do you not know, brethren (for I am speaking to those who know the law) that the law is binding on a person only during his life?
2 Thus a married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives; but if her husband dies she is discharged from the law regarding the husband.
3 Accordingly, she will be called an adulteress if she marries another man while her husband is alive. But if her husband dies she is free from that law, and if she "belongs to" another man she is not an adulteress.
4 Likewise, my brethren, you have died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you may "belong to" another, to Him who has been raised from the dead in order that we may bear fruit for God.

So adulterous remarriage of widows is necessary for salvation? That is to be our redemptive Standard?

But Paul, in fact, de-legitimatizes adulterous remarriage of widows with the following:

First Corinthians 5:11 But refuse to enroll younger-women widows; for when they grow wanton against Christ they desire to marry,
12 and so they incur condemnation for having violated their first pledge.
14 So I would have younger women [Gr. ne(o)teras - NOT "widows" Gr. ch(e)ras] marry, bear children (no abortion homicide), manage the house (not non-domestically sexually harass men outside the home), and give the enemy no cause to revile us.

Keep in mind that the Greek words younger women overrides any supposed and concocted previous context of "widows." "In the beginning was "the" Context, and "the" Context was with God, and "the" Context was God?" NO! Neither was "the" Interpretation!

Notice that Jesus never said that deceased spouses in Heaven will not continue to be married. He instead indicated that there will merely be no getting married nor given in marriage - thus: no weddings whatsoever occurring.

As to nakedness in the hereafter?

Hebrews 4:13 And before Him no creature is hidden, but all are open and laid bare to the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

Garden-of-Eden paradise restored! Long robes included? "What no eye has seen, nor ear heard!"

The "til death do us part" obviously should be reworded to read: "as long as we both shall live" - which does not negate the previously-stated assertions.

Thus, the eternal-duration permanent belonging of a woman to a man with whom he has had various types of sex, and of a man to a woman (regardless of patriarchal polygamy situations), gives wise-choice seriousness as to who you and I (whether with one wife, several wives, harem concubines or harlots) have connective "sex:"

First Corinthians 6:16 Do you not know that he who joins himself to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, "The two shall become one flesh."

Matthew 19:6 So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man break apart.

Ever since the LORD created both-genders mankind, and gave them their very first probably-only-verbal (not merely mentally-intuitive?) instruction to 'Be fruitful and multiply," His earthbound human creatures have incessantly and fervently been in the process of engaging (with various degrees of population-increased success) in sexual reproduction and a plethoria of advertisements continuing that biologically-built-in Divine Prime Directive.

A question arises: "Has The Almighty forced us humans to engage in coital copulation rather than mis-regarding the phenomena as something "dirty" or "obscene"and substantially shunned - especially when lewdly (instead of appropriately and kindly) described with the controversial "f-word?"

Well, does the Creator "force" us to be subject to the beneficial (or sometimes non-beneficial - thanks to our errancies) control of His gravity, breathe His atmospheric air, eat His nourishing plants and animals, drink His provisional milk and wine, shower with His water, enjoy the visible conveniences and environmental effects of His sunlight, plus both urinate and defecate?

'Keep Your laws off my body' lacks the will-use-lethal-force-if-necessary Divine authority of Our Heavenly Referee who overrides with an overpowering retort of: 'Keep your rebelliously-disobedient stinking carcass off My planet . . . or else!" Morgues, cemeteries, and graveyards testify concerning (and not "regarding") the filthy and despicable who impenitently uplifted their defiant third fingers up to God, or thumbed their arrogantly-rebellious noses at the Creator.

Slandering, reviling, and blaspheming His Divine Benevolence is not in anyone's best interest (to put it mildly):

Job 2:1 Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them to present himself before the LORD.
2 And the LORD said to Satan, "Whence have you come?" [ as if the omniscient LORD did not know? ] Satan answered the LORD, "From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down on it." [ restless, like the constantly-foaming waves of ocean, off on one irrationalizing tangent after another, making up new deceptive weaselwords, ever learning and never coming to the knowledge of the truth ]
3 And the LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, who fears God and turns away from evil? He still holds fast his integrity, although you moved me against him [Satan - not God - is to blame for causing trouble], to destroy him without cause."
4 Then Satan answered the LORD, "Skin for skin! All that a man has he will give for his life.
5 But put forth your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse you to your face."
6 And the LORD said to Satan, "Hey, he is in your power; only spare his life." [ Apocryphal Wisdom merely states that "righteous souls are in the hand of God; Canonical Scripture of Ecclesiastes 9:1 goes further and states that "the righteous" per se are in the hand of God ]
7 So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD, and afflicted Job with loathsome sores from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head. [ even though Job did not deserve it, and so that is why bad things happen to good people ]
8 And he took a potsherd with which to scrape himself [no medical clinics or hospitals around?], and sat among the ashes.
9 Then his wife said to him, "Do you still hold fast your integrity? Curse God, and die."
10 But he said to her, "You speak as one of the foolish women would speak. Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?" In all this Job did not sin with his lips.

[ NOTE: "Evil" comes from God? Well, did not God create Lucifer who became Satan, and thus - logically - by succession create Satan? Is the LORD Himself [ at the Devil's behest? ] not responsible for concocting and imposing the diabolically-dangerous fatality-causing Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil? Ever blindfold someone and place a roller skate in his narrow path so he inevitably tripped on it and broke his leg? Did the Trinity not create human free will to screw up with? ]

All were Garden-of-Eden Stumbling Blocks imposed - BY GOD - against the innocent pair.

But the Benevolent and All-Merciful, Consigned-All--to-Sin-that-He-Might-Have-Mercy-Upon-All Giver of The Gospel adequately compensated by humiliating Son-of-God-the-Father-and son-of-Mary-the-mother Jesus in appointing Him our Ticket-Into-Paradise Atoning Redeemer. ]

Ecclesiastes 5:2 Be not rash with your mouth, nor let your heart be hasty to utter a word before God, for God is in heaven, and you upon earth; therefore let your words be few.
Ecclesiastes 5:6 Let not your mouth lead you into sin, and do not say before the messenger that it was a mistake; why should God be angry at your voice, and destroy the work of your hands?

Matthew 12:32 And whoever says a word against the Son of man will be forgiven; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.
Luke 12:10 And every one who speaks a word against the Son of man will be forgiven; but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. That is much more than merely "rejecting Jesus as one's Savior and Lord."

We are, admittedly, capable, of "un-forcing" ourselves from the Creator's temporal physical restraints so as to no longer be stuck in this earthly Game of Life which we did not ask to come into in the first place. Suicide is an option - although those who commit (and not "perform") such then become guilty of murderous homicide yet no longer alive to implore forgiveness, leaving no alternative but being forced (whether they like it or not) to become perpetually tortured with Outer-Darkness Hellfire, forever.

The other day, I happened to see the title of some movie on cable TV entitled: Forced To Marry.

Even though I did not have the time to view that video production, I wondered what the originators of that had in mind. Certainly the thought of forcing anyone (as in the case of 'I-really-don't-love-him' pre-arranged marriages) to have to do not only want they really do not want to do, but even more, to do what they do not really need to do, is understandably repulsive not simply to me but probably to you the reader also:

Genesis 24:58 And they called Rebekah, and said to her, "Will you [ voluntarily ] go with this man?" She said, "I will go."

Matthew 5:41 . . . and if any one forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. [Double your pleasure, double your fun - as long as he pays for it]

Philemon 1:14 . . . but I preferred to do nothing without your consent in order that your goodness might not be by compulsion of your own free will.

However, there is the possibility that the concocters of that Forced To Marry did not have honorable motives nor intentions.

The recent Minnesota election contained a Marriage Amendment which attempted to funnel and restrict proper-and-acceptable R-to-XXX inclinations and behavior of the general public at large to "one man and one woman" [whether one or one different wife or prostitute at a time] . . . which proposed Amendment was defeated and did not pass by the libertine majority who (for one cause or another) did not want their heterosexual or homosexual affections limited by the clearly-anti-polygamous rather-misfortunately-misworded amendment (which lamentably did not instead refer to marriage being the heterosexual-only union of husband and wife).

Permanently-intended monogamous or patriarchally-polygamous marriage (see the main heroes of the Old Testament for the latter, please) is in fact the only legitimate expression for fulfilling the Creator's command to "Be fruitful and multiply:"

Genesis 24:7 The LORD, the God of heaven, who took me from my father's house and from the land of my birth, and who spoke to me and solemnly promised me, 'To your descendants I will give this land,' he will send His angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there.
Genesis 24:37 My master made me vow, saying, 'You shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I reside;
Genesis 24:38 but you shall go to my father's house and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son.'
Genesis 24:40 But he said to me, 'The LORD, before whom I walk, will send His [matchmaker] angel with you and prosper your way; and you shall take a wife for my son from my [same-Hebrew-religion] relatives and from my father's house

Genesis 38:6 And [ matchmaker ] Judah took a wife for Er his first-born, and her name was Tamar.
14 she put off her widow's garments, and put on a veil, wrapping herself up, and sat at the entrance to Enaim, which is on the road to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was grown up, and she had not been given to him in marriage. [ Oh oh. One hot Jewish woman who had been sexually deprived. Trouble! ]
15 When Judah saw her, he thought her to be a harlot, for she had covered her face. [ With a anonymity-preserved face-covered hijab burka? Kept it on during sex? Didn't Judah even recognize the voice of his own daughter-in-law? ]
16 He went over to her at the road side, and said, "Come, let me come in to you," for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law. [ It helps to show up at the annual family reunions ] She said, "What will you give me, that you may come in to me?" [ The incestuous Jewish damsel knew how to bargain ]

First Chronicles 7:15 And Machir took a wife for Huppim and for Shuppim. The name of his sister was Maacah. And the name of the second was Zelophehad; and Zelophehad had daughters.

First Corinthians 7:2 But because of the temptation to immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband.

First Timothy 5:14 So I would have younger women marry, bear children, manage their households, and give the enemy no cause to revile us.

So, now you see serious potential problems with the aforementioned Forced To Marry video on cable TV. If women (and men) are not encouraged to get married, nor financially-and-otherwise facilitated for matrimony, the only other options are sadistic and frustrating, horribly-non-fulfilled-desire, never-ending abstinence . . . or resorting to licentuous pornography and self-sodomizing body-debilitating masturbation . . . or homosodomy, fornication, adultery, etc. Pathetic.

Here's where the urination and defecation come in.

What do you think is approved:

(1) Going to your own apartment or (or temporarily-yours fast-food-restaurant-or-whatever private-lavatory stall) or house to urinate and defecate in [your own] toilet, or
(2) Sneaking into your neighbor's apartment or house to urinate and defecate in his or her toilet, or
(3) Urinating and defecating out in open view of passersby on the sidewalk or street?

Such involves free-will choice . . . which can be considered either a blessing (for those who use theirs wisely and rightly), or instead a curse (against those who misuse theirs foolishly and wrongly).

Newborns do not, apparently, have their freewill choice developed:

Romans 9:11 . . . though they were not yet born and had done nothing either good or bad, in order that God's purpose of election might continue, not because of works but because of His call

But when they reach the age of accountability, it becomes more and more apparent that they are either for or instead against God, His works, His Law and laws, His everything. Their comprehension of whatever that is might initially be distorted because of previously being propagandized and brainwashed by dishonest and lying misinformers (consider the case of the pharisee Saul before he became Saint Paul), but the Lord in His favor and mercy thankfully does not allow His chosen ones to continue forever in ignorant stupidity.

Indecently-hairstyled mopheaded women eventually learn, from non-pleasant personal experiences encountering frowning and even nasty-comment objectors, being conscious of being repeatedly avoided, and from such Scriptures as RSV's, ESV's and NASV's Numbers 5:18 and Song of Solomon 7:5 and KJV's/NKJV's First Corinthians 11:14-16, that that erotically-enticing loose long hair should at least have been tied and kept in a single back-of-head ponytail or (better yet) put up in a bun or pug (or covered with an islamic/catholic-nun-type shawl) before venturing out into the available-guys-present public arena. They learn that having exposed and exposing their body parts described of the bride in private with her spouse recorded not only in Song of Solomon, but also should-be-clothed parts referred to in RSV's/NASV's Second Samuel 13:18, Proverbs 5:19, Isaiah 3:17 and 20:4 and 47:1-3 and Jeremiah 2:25 is not meant for open hazing and subtle stares at a public beach or equivalent but rather for her own spouse when alone with him, or when she is bathing along herself by herself.

Romans 2:12 All who have [immodestly-and-however] sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.
Romans 2:14 When Gentiles who have not the law do by nature what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law.

James 4:17 Whoever knows what is right to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.

Do we inwardly love and respect God's laws and admonitions?. Are we, thus, for God instead of against Him? Have we been enlightened by His Word, the Bible? And become aware - not by the demonic spirit of Satan but rather by the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ - that such words are true and valid? Then, after so becoming aware, do you or I love it -- even though, under frequently non-solicited and non-asked-for godless and wicked duress, you or I succomb and sin occasionally for some non-fulfilled need and inadequate faith on our part?

Saint Paul was of those who, essentially, was "born anew" [ or born again, if you must ]. But he realized his weakness to cave in to sins remembered at times and sins surrounding him:

Romans 7:5 While we were living in the flesh, our sinful passions, aroused by the law, were at work in our members to bear fruit for death.
6 But now we are discharged from the law, dead to that which held us captive, so that we serve not under the old written code but in the new life of the Spirit.
7 What then shall we say? That the law is sin? By no means! Yet, if it had not been for the law, I should not have known sin. I should not have known what it is to covet if the law had not said, "You shall not covet."
8 But sin, finding opportunity in the commandment, wrought in me all kinds of covetousness. Apart from the law sin lies dead.
9 I was once alive apart from the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died;
10 the very commandment which promised life proved to be death to me.
11 For sin, finding opportunity in the commandment, deceived me and by it killed me.
12 So the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and just and good.
13 Did that which is good, then, bring death to me? By no means! It was sin, working death in me through what is good, in order that sin might be shown to be sin, and through the commandment might become sinful beyond measure.
14 We know that the law is spiritual; but I am carnal, sold under sin.
15 I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate.
16 Now if I do what I do not want, I agree that the law is good.
17 So then it is no longer I that do it, but sin which dwells within me.
18 For I know that nothing good resides within me, that is, in my flesh. I can will what is right, but I cannot do it.
19 For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I do.
20 Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I that do it, but sin which resides within me.
21 So I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand.
22 For I delight in the law of God, in my inmost self,
23 but I see in my members another law at war with the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin which resides in my members.
24 Wretched man who I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?
25 Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I of myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.

Paul therefore was part of and sympathized with others described with:

First John 1:1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon and touched with our hands, regarding The Word of Life:
2 The Life was made manifest, and we saw it, and testify to it, and proclaim to you the eternal life which was with the Father and was made manifest to us:
3 that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you may have fellowship with us; and our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.
4 And we are writing this that our joy may be complete.
5 This is the message we have heard from Him and proclaim to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.
6 If we say we have fellowship with Him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not live according to the truth;
7 but if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.
8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just, and will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 If we say we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar, and His word is not in us.

There is, as you might know, only one who truly and perfectly was "born from above:"

First John 3:5 You know that He appeared to take away sins, and in Him there is no sin.
First John 5:18 We know that any one born of God does not sin, but He who was born of God keeps him, and the evil one does not touch him.

Concordantly:

Romans 8:14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
Galatians 3:26 . . . for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith [in Jesus, not ourselves, with or without self-righteous self-esteem].

First John 4:6 We are of God. Whoever knows God listens to us, and he who is not of God does not listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

[ No wonder I switch channels away from scurrilous commentators on MSNBC, homopromo Piers Morgan, etc. on CNN plus Lawrence O'Donnell and Rachel Maddow on MSNBC, the mopheaded commentators on FOX, plus Ed Schultz and Thom Hartmann and especially Mike Malloy on radio, and even sometimes Prager and Medved, but usually not Limbaugh nor Hannity thereon ]

First John 5:1 Every one who believes that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God, and every one who loves the parent loves the child.
2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey His commandments.
3 For this is the love of God, that we "keep" [ dust on the Bible? ] His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.
4 For whoever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that overcomes the world, our faith.
5 Who is he who overcomes the world but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
6 This is He that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth.
7 For there are three who bear record in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit: and these three are one.
8 And there are three who bear witness in earth: the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
9 If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater; for this is the testimony of God that He has borne witness to His Son.
10 He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. He who does not believe God has made Him out to be a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has borne to His Son. [ remember the Voice from Heaven in The Gospels? ]
19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world is in the power of the evil one.

If the world blames us for sinning, they themselves caused and were wickedly responsible and to blame for that, worsening it by affording no remedy, so they are at fault as they relentlessly libel, slander, fraudulently misrepresent, and blaspheme. But there is hope:

Revelation 12:10 And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, "Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser against our brethren has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God.

In conclusion, the Holy Advertisement - for dating to marry to have sex, and sundry other activities - is applicable for those of us who are "born anew:"

Hebrews 10:8 When He said above, "You have neither desired nor taken pleasure in sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin offerings" (these are offered according to the law),
9 then He added, "Look here, I have come to do your will." He abolishes the first in order to establish the second.
10 And by that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
11 And every priest stands daily at his service, offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.
12 But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, He sat down near the right hand of God,
13 then to wait until His enemies should be made a stool for His feet.
14 For by a single offering He has perfected for all time those who are sanctified. [ Once saved, always saved]
15 And the Holy Spirit also bears witness to us; for after saying,
16 "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days," says the Lord: "I will put my laws on their hearts, and write them on their minds," [ pre-programmed self-executable zipfiled source code ]
17 then he adds, "I will remember their sins and their misdeeds no more."
18 Where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin. [ No one shall snatch them out of my hands ]

But, with a serious-as-death warning for us who are "born again:"

Hebrews 10: 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful;
24 and let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works,
25 not neglecting to meet together [ get to church on Sunday mornings ], as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
26 For if we sin [ singular?! Some things which happen only one time are fatal! ] deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,
27 but a fearful prospect of judgment, and a fury of fire which will consume the adversaries.
28 A man who has violated the law of Moses dies without mercy at the testimony of two or three witnesses.
29 How much worse punishment do you think will be deserved by the man who has spurned the Son of God, and profaned the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and outraged the Spirit of grace?
30 For we know him who said, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay." And again, "The Lord will judge his people."
31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
In view of that, even the saintly New-Testament author Paul the Apostle humbly and non-arrogantly declared:

Philippians 3:12 Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect; but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me His own.

The gifts and call of God are irrevocable.
