The importance of using correct names and titles for GOD are in view, today, along with more on GOD and the human framework of time. The “Yahoo! Answers” fighter using the ID “romans” (Level 6 with 23,029 points, a member since November 11, 2009) posted the following:
What is the significances about knowing God's name?
THE BATTLE AXE: GOD and The Framework of Time (09/20/2014)—(5.) Time pertains to the accurate and complete revelation of eternal divinity to mankind as the movement to acquire sacred knowledge, and to move through all the phases and stages of spiritual perfection. Time is not so much an expression of divinity and hallowed substance as it is a structure that allows expression by created beings and living creatures. Time appears through processes of comparison and contrast that are generated as recognition of conditions, and measurable dimensions for continued existence that include darkness and light, the power of the air appearing as climate and weather as well as fixed patterns (we say, cycles) of movement by celestial objects (i.e., the sun, moon, and stars). Because many define time as beginning at birth and ending with death, time is mistakenly spoken of as an artifact (by product, outcome, or result) of mortality. Time is not a creation of human intellect, logic, mathematics, reason, and science. Christian believers are given a new, more godly understanding of time through such doctrines as the resurrection for divine judgment; the transformation of believers in Christ to become immortal and incorruptible; the second death that eliminates sinners and wickedness in the Lake of Fire; and through the teachings of a future eternal life that begins before ones physical death through baptism (death of ones inborn spirit, rebirth having a fresh endowment from the makeup of GOD). The Adversary (Satan) and those distracted through the power of the air embrace a false notion of eternal life. In their understanding, being and consciousness are generated and maintained through self will; and may exist without the frameworks of time, space, and purpose that are generated by divinity. As in the Garden of Eden, the serpent still does not acknowledge the place of GOD as sovereign over all existence and Creation, and continues to counsel mankind using various philosophies and belief systems, that man may be as GOD without being in submission to the dispensations and operations controlled by divinity. Consider again the Scriptures: Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8, 2nd Timothy 3: 1-9, KJV.
THE GOLDEN ARROW: Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right. (Proverbs 20: 11, KJV)
THE DOUBLE DAGGER: The Point of Knowledge? (07/06/2014); The Name(?) of GOD (04/09/2014); The “Miniature War”? (04/10/2014); A Personal Relationship? (04/03/2014); GOD Everywhere? (04/04/2014); Sprinkled, Immersed, Named? (02/01/2014); Alpha and Omega (12/29/2013)
“romans”, here are a few points important to Christian belief that those who want to understand will find helpful:
(1.) Titles and names for GOD are important as aspects of communication, fellowship with believers, and prayer. What you will say, and how you will be responded to will turn upon your use of the divine name. The name is also part of the sacred knowledge and full revelation of divinity that created beings and living creatures must have to experience the active presence of GOD in continuing relationship. Were a man to marry a woman, never speak her name, require she clean, cook, share her body, the closeness and intimacy of their marriage would be affected. Without communication, gentleness, kindness, respect, and tenderness their union would be threatened and weakened.
(2.) Salvation through Jesus Christ is not merely a mechanical process whereby GOD in heaven further claims, owns, and possesses all created beings and living creatures as abstract objects, and material things. Because of the endowment at Creation, mankind is capable of displaying an animal, a human, or a divine nature. At some point, any one, or combination of these possible expressions may appear. The operations of sin that influence awareness and self-will in the living, also corrupt (we say, decay, rot) the spirit content needed to exist as companions to an eternal GOD.
There is far more to be said, correctly understood, and spiritually apprehended. (For example, (3.) GOD is a spirit who is an active presence invisible to human eyes, that must be known by operating upon various features within the human environment. Included are the attitudes and behavior of individuals, exchanges and interactions within groups, and such forces of nature as darkness, light, water, and wind. GOD has established that knowing divinity in a personal way begins with awareness of the things GOD has done. GOD is to be known and spoken of on the basis of divine actions (e.g., Law Giver, Redeemer, Savior), exalted position and sacred content (e.g., holiness, Holy One, exclusiveness, Jealous, sovereignty, Most High), and sacred deeds (e.g., Deliverer, Healer, Judge).) Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your faith.
