Thank you very much for this beautiful devotion and encouragement to be ready to give an answer! I was thinking very much on the same line lately regarding being equipped, living in a state of peace and improving my prayer life. God’s continued blessings on this ministry and thank you for stepping out of the boat of traditions and helping others to do the same!
You are so welcome Jeanine. Thank you for your encouraging words. A few such words in my week go a long way dear sister!

Hi Bill,
Thank you for your comment. I think I responded to you re. the Q cards. Thanks for the mention about your prayer article. I jotting this down for reading when I have a chance. Can I offer you a suggestion for your website? Please get rid of the black background. This is hard on the eyes and not conducive to a long time reading. I had to copy and paste in into a word document, which is an inconvenience to your audience. If you do a thorough web search, I think you will not find many people taking this approach for good reason. I share this only out of love because I would hate to see you lose viewers of such a minor thing.
Richest blessings dear brother,
Gerry

What a beautiful soul Michelle is. Thank you Father for Gary and Elena and for overseeing everything on and leading up to the 11th August. Thank you dear Father for grace and peace to carry and sustain Gary and all the extended family.
Thank you Dennis. I’ll pass your message on to Gary
What a beautiful tribute for such a beautiful Spirit–the Spirit that made it’s home in Michelle. She was and is a God’s great masterpiece. We love you Michelle and Gary and thank God for the gift he’s given through you, that is you. And thank you Gerry for posting this!

Thank you Peter, I’ll be sure to share your touching words with Gary on Friday.

Wonderful tribute. The Tentmaker website and your book, Gerry, were instrumental in my recovery from a Calvinism-induced depression four years ago. They started me on a beautiful journey of hope. Thank you so much for making the good news available for free online. It is good to have a little more insight into Michelle and Gary’s lives. They have been a blessing to many including me.
This is a great compilation of translations to consider while being “Bereans”. I appreciate all of your hard work to help us understand more clearly God’s plan of salvation for all and your love and commitment to this arduous task. God’s continued blessings on you as you learn and seek to explain more clearly God’s nature and His love for humanity for all. Your work in this endeavor is GREATLY needed and it has helped alleviate unnecessary torment in many and has restored our hope that God REALLY will not leave one sheep unaccounted for and His plan is perfect. This is in the heart of most Christians as many of our songs that we sing on Sunday across the world speak to this Hope that “every knee will bow…”. A BIG THANK YOU!
Amen dear sister. Thank you for your kind words.
I am sorry for this loss of your dear one. I condole with you and praying for God’s comfort and strength for all of you. Praying specially for Elena.
In Christ,
Santhosh Chellappan
I discovered the JMNT a few months ago, and even more recently the “Eonian Life New Testament” translated by Christopher Sparkes. It has been as much of a joy to read as the JMNT. http://eonianlifebible.com/index.htm
I hadn’t heard of the D.B. Hart translation, but will check into that next.
Thanks for your latest HOPE E-Report, that led me back to your previous reports re best translations.
Hi Gerry,
The idea of universal salvation has great appeal to me, and as a former Jehovah’s Witness, I know that there is a widely believed myth about hell, and am not tripped up by that belief.
However, there are a couple of scriptures that interfere with totally buying into “universal salvation”. Perhaps you can provide me with a clearer understanding.
“But who are you, a mere man, to talk back to God? Will what is formed say to the one who formed it, “Why did you make me like this?” Or has the potter no right over the clay, to make from the same lump one piece of pottery for honor and another for dishonor? And what if God, desiring to display His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much patience objects of wrath ready for destruction? And what if He did this to make known the riches of His glory on objects of mercy that He prepared beforehand for glory–” Rom 9:20-23 HCSB
What does Paul mean by “one piece of pottery for honor and another for dishonor?” Additionally, we have
“But the cowards, unbelievers, vile, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars–their share will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”
Rev 21:8 HCSB
As Rev 20:10 points out, the lake of fire represents the final destruction (not torment) of the devil, beast, and false prophet. Why would it not also represent the final destruction of all those listed in Rev 21:8. It’s tempting to assume that that is actually their ungodly spirit that is destroyed, but that isn’t what it says. And there is no indication that there is a resurrection from the lake of fire.
I’m looking forward to your response.
May our Shepherd continue to bless your ministry.
