6. IS THERE AN ALTERNATIVE? - CAN ONE ASPIRE TO A HIGH THRONE?
Psalm 111:10 states "The fear of Yah the eternally self existing {the LORD} is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever." (KJV, name adjusted)
So, we can start by fearing Yah and seeking to DO His commandments.
1 John 5:3 "For this is the love of Yah {God}, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous." (KJV, name adjusted)
IF we love the Almighty then we should want to keep His commandments and we should not find this grievous.
IF we love the Almighty, we should be willing to check out our doctrines and our conduct and make whatever adjustments are called for.
IF ...
Are you willing to love the Almighty THIS intensely - even if it requires that you RADICALLY change what you believe and what you do?
Consider Jude 1:7 as a counterpoint "Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire."(KJV)
Fornication includes spiritual treachery, idolatry, false doctrines, etc.
There IS a place of ETERNAL FIRE, where some (many?) will suffer torment for eternity.
The Quran is very much more explicit about the eternal torment for those who do not believe and for those who repeatedly and unrepentantly transgress the commandments of the Almighty.
There IS a CHOICE!
