10 questions that we often receive (as christians)

4.When the Prophet was worshipped as the Lord, still not become polytheist?
This also often we received in the everyday life, the question that salahun wa Al-kaprahun! Answered then: Jesus Christ indeed a Prophet, but that's for you, not for Christians. For Christians Jesus Christ more than a Prophet, Logos or the Word of God (Kalimatullah) personally that 'nuzul', materialised in the body of a humankind.
According to me, conception about who of Jesus that distinguished between Christian thinking and non-Christian (Jewish or Islam). For Jews, Jesus was greatest only a Rabbi level from Galilea, the rest was Jesus's insulting terms, like: the Israeli nation swindler, a stupid, the leprosy sufferer, the hypnotist and black magic, the illegitimate child produced by Maria's adultery with the Rome troops named Panthera/Pandera et cetera as being contained in Talmud. It was clear, not there is very good him. Moreover recuperation that was carried out in Jesus's name then a matter that was forbidden for Jews. Jesus for Jews was the person who took excessive measures because as humankind but compared himself with God that meant to blaspheme God so as to have to be punished.
For muslims, Jesus was a person among the prophets who really were honored, in fact Jesus's name was then mentioned more of the in the name of other prophets, and including the person who was foremost in the world and in the hereafter (wa jihan fii Al-du him wa Al-akhiraati). In the Islamic mystical clerics, Jesus in fact it was considered as “the prophet of heart”. A prophet that the process of his existence immediately through the sentence ‘Kun’ (kun faya kun, Be! Then so. ) without the process of the sexual reproduction. That could speak since in the content of his mother and various other miracle gifts. But only that. Nothing more. Not more than that, in fact Jesus was the only prophet who was reprimanded or interrogated by God in Al-Qur’an.
The challenge for us as Christians was explained that Jesus not only the prophet, rabbi, the healer, the holy teacher, a mystic/asketis, the teacher Veda, Buddhist reincarnation et cetera. Jesus was the lasting Word of God, that has nuzul (incarnate), materialised in himself a humankind. Jesus was acknowledged as the Lord in his capacity as Kalimatullah (the Word of God) this. For Christians, Jesus not only a "result" from the sentence ‘Kun’ this but the sentence ‘Kun’ that personally, and by the sentence ‘Kun’ this also all available in the great space and in the earth was created. God created everything with His Word, and His Word this that afterwards ‘nuzul’ in the earth ± in the last 2000 years to ‘flesh’ in Jesus from Nazaret. Kai ho Logos sarx egeneto (And the Word of God became flesh). So completely wrong if it was considered resembled-lord-would a prophet that only humankind because of Jesus was the Word of God that has ‘nuzul’ to the world, while the Word of God was adhered (qaimah) in Himself, so as when mentioning the Lord Jesus Christians mentioned the Lord to this word of God not to Jesus as humankind therefore was not "syirk" in this case.
That was expected by us to be so that Christian group does not force itself to consider the Christian teaching with version terms of their teaching personally because of might be words that were used same but meaningfully very different so as not fair to apply between one religious teaching with the other religious teaching. “The faith which you have, have as your own conviction before God; .... “ (Rom 14:22a, NAS)

10 questions

3.Did Jesus become the Lord since the Council of Nicaea in the year 325 AD?
The question that was conspiratorial above indeed has been in the period pre and post the first ecumenical council was spread out in Nikea in the year 325. The certain Christian group lightly levelled these charges. The certain Christian group lightly levelled these charges. That was most important we stressed as the follower Jesus was that God personally that made Jesus become the Lord and Christ. Since long before the Council of Nicaea 325 were held, group's Christian belief that Jesus was the Lord and Christ has adhered. At least this matter could be seen from the view of church fathers like Ignatius of Antioch (105 AD) stated that Jesus was God personally that was manifested in the form of humankind. Clement of Alexandria (150 AD) said that already appropriately we thought that Christ was God. There was also Justin Martyr (160 AD), Irenaeus (180 AD), Tertulian (200 AD), Origen (225 AD), Novatian (235 AD), Cyprianus (250 AD), Methodius (290 AD), Lactantius (304 AD), Amobius (305 AD) and still many others fathers's line the Church that stated that Jesus was the Lord, long before the holding of the Council of Nicaea in the year 325 AD that indeed was placed on the agenda to face the teaching of Arius of Alexandria heresy that said that Jesus was not a true God (pre-Jesus's existence) but only a creation creature completely by raising the theory that there is during where the Word of God was not yet despite that already a long time ago before the commencement of God's creation. Jesus did not become to be Lord through the Nicaean Council 325 because long before Christians already since the beginning the reporting of the apostles believe in that Jesus was the Lord and Christ despite with the understanding would conception of the godhead of Jesus that differed. Christian faith distinguished between the meaning of Jesus's godliness (the Divine/Godhead of Jesus) and the deity Jesus (the Lordship of Jesus). Jesus's godliness showed the Word of God that was lasting with God and always adhered in His Ousia (Yoh 1:1-3) that was comparable with Islamic theology that stated Al-Qur’an as kalam nafsy (the everlasting words).

१ओ उएस्तिओन्स ठाट वे ओफ्तें रेसिवे (अस च्रिस्तिंस)

2.Yesus as the Word of God was give birth or created? The question above of course will not be had been free from the debate or the conflict forever between the Arian group and the Universal Church. This question will never polemics were protracted between the fellow Christian group (? ) if not having thinking from Arius of Alexandria that was phenomenal that. We will discuss later, but his simple answer was a question that was good that is ‘if the Word of God was the creation, whereas the Holy Scripture said that God created everything with His Word; then with Word whichever again Word of God was created? The Word of God was created through the Word of God?
The concept the Word that was created by the Word certainly did not make sense. However in several last years had several people who revealed his opinion that Jesus was one of the angels God. There are those that just theorised that Jesus was the agreement angel who was promised by God to come to redeem his group, but to be also that bravely (despite very at random) mentioned Jesus Christ simply was the Mikhael, the angel's village chief. Bin's strange concept miraculous this was so incessant was promoted by the follower Unitarian or Kristen Tauhid (a La Indonesia) with several theories of the assumption and the comparison that "rather or seldom were" forced" (I did not know whether the article and the publication of these Unitarian books were accepted the area by the community, that was clear from the aspect of marketing titles of the book published by this Unitarian group were very interesting because always tried to be made controversial, sensational and bombastic, that unfortunately themes of their issue book only the attack towards the conviction and the Christian Universal dogma without one matter then that could be used to build and improve the moral, moral and the behaviour of Christian group generally in religious life and the community).
In one of their theory, Unitarian's followers hardly refused Isaiah 63:9a the LAI translation (in 1974 et cetera) and chose the LAI translation that was old that is “... malak alhadhirat... ) was the same as the version of King James, NIV and RSV “... Angel of His Presence... ). “... Bukan seorang duta atau utusan,.... ” (Isaiah 63:9a, LAI) that translated Greek from Septuaginta (LXX), οὐ πρέσβυς οὐδὲ ἄγγελος ouk presbis oude aggelos (that was clear significant “not an the ambassador nor an angel”);(Today’s English Version also said, “It was not an angel, but the LORD himself who saved them.”). Angel of His Presence according to the English Version in fact also implied that that will come that was God personally. This was linked with the article that said that no-one who had met God the Father directly but God had several times been present meeting his slaves with various forms. God appeared to Moses in the form of Fire in scrub, afterwards God appeared to Hagar in the form of the angel (Malakh YHWH) likewise when God paid a visit Abraham in his tent in the shape of humankind to inform Sarah's pregnancy. This also that afterwards was stated by Jacob, “... ; Allah itu, sebagai Allah yang telah menjadi gembalaku selama hidupku sampai sekarang, dan sebagai Malaikat yang telah melepaskan aku dari segala bahaya, ...” (Kej 48:16). In the Old Testament, God met his group in various forms, and that most often was in the form of the Angel of the LORD. Just afterwards in New Testament, God met his group with His Word that directly materialised humankind as the realisation of God's love that was extraordinary to humankind, God no longer only from time to time meets and meets his choice slaves in the dream, the sight, listening et cetera, but paid directly a visit His people with 'nuzul', The Word of God that was acknowledged as The Son became humankind and lived in the middle of humankind.
John 01:18 mentioned that “No one has ever seen God. The only Son, God, who is at the Father's side, has revealed him.” The word: The only Son, God: while the vast majority of later textual witnesses have another reading, "the Son, the only one" or "the only Son," the translation above follows the best and earliest manuscripts, monogenes theos, but takes the first term to mean not just "Only One" but to include a filial relationship with the Father, as at Luke 9:38 ("only child") or Hebrews 11:17 ("only son") and as translated at John 1:14. The Logos is thus "only Son" and God but not Father/God. Had the meaning “only one (mono) in the group or this kind (genos)” that showed the uniqueness of the status from the Son that was certain only was one and "different kind" or not the angel because if he only one of his angels of God meant him not only one in his group. Then said theos in this article had the meaning that was firm that is God not that was divine because the God's words were in Greek mentioned theios as that was recorded in Acts 17:29, 2 Pet 1:3,4. John did not say that the Word was a god or one of the gods, he also did not say that the Word was divine but monogenes theos (the Only Son) and unlike in the Greece-Christian Holy Scripture – New World Translation belonging to Jehovah's Witnesses that translated monogenes theos with “the only one God that diperanakkan” as resulting from the mistake read genos to gennao (double “n”) that was significant “memperanakkan” in fact in words monogenes this only had one letter “n” so as exact words were genos that was significant “a kind or group”.
That Word together with God, was significantly the Personal of the Word (the Personal of the Son) # (not be the same as) the Personal of God (the Personal of the Father). The Word was God, John did not state that God was that Word; he did not say that the Word was one of God's terms but that he said was that he, that has been together with the Father from the beginning was God. John 1:3 stated everything was made through him (TEV, Through him God made all things), in fact God the Father created everything through His Word (Hebrew 1:2) then the Word of God was not created by God the Father because that Word was used by God the Father as the instrument of the creation. When Word went out from the Father then He was mentioned "was born" because He has been beforehand in Himself the Father as Knowledge (the Intellect) of God. And when the Word "was born"," he went out from God the Father in the incident of the world creation as the Saying of “Kun Faya Kun” (“terjadilah, then terjadi”) but together also was not free or adhered in Dzat-essence (Ousia) God forevermore as being recorded in Psalms 119:89, בשׁמים׃ נצב דברך יהוה לעולם (le ‘olam YHWH debar’kha nitsab be’shamayim), Εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, κύριε, ὁ λόγος σου διαμένει ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ (Eis tòn aiõna, Kyrie, ho Lógos sou diaménei ên tõs oûranõs), For ever, O Lord, thy word Is firmly fixed in the heavens. “For ever, o God, Thy word stayed firm in heaven. (HOT, LXX, RSV, LAI) Jesus for Christians was ho Logos, the Word of God, Kalimatullah; therefore he was the sentence “Kun” that personally not results or resulting from from the sentence “Kun”. And as Al-Qur’an in Islam that was God's Word that qadim (lasting) and not the creation because of God since early spoke then likewise with Jesus as The Word; also when Al-Qur’an “nuzul” to the world in Arabian Prophet, Muhammad, then God's Saying (ho Logos) in Christian “nuzul” in the Virgin Mary (in the Islam history was gotten by the Mu’tazilah group that one of his leading figures that is Ibn Jahm believed that Al-Qur’an was not qadim or was created/khalq Al-Qur’an because of the Prophet Isa that was acknowledged as Kalimatullah or the Word of God was gazed at as the creation creature completely by mainstream Islam, a debate that could be regarded as the re-staging of the Church debate with Arian heresy, this was clarified with the group's answer of Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jama’ah that was provided a basis for by Qs an-Nahl the article 40: Actually our words against something if we wanted him, we only said to him: “Kun (was) ”, then was he. Was represented by Al-Asy’ari in the Al-Luma Book that said that Al-Qur’an not was created because if being created then in accordance with the article of An-Nahl 40 this for the creation must say kun, and for the creation kun this also must say kun that was other, such was henceforth so as to be gotten by the series of words kun that was not having an end. And this was not possible. Because of that Al-Qur’an was not possible to be created. This Al-Asy’ari confirmation was very identical to confirmation of the Church when faced bid’ah Arian that the Word of God not possibly was created by the Word of God that was other as touch on above. ).
The holy scripture provided the clear answer that from God's "mouth" went out (read: was born) by chance that is the Word of God that could not be withdrawn. (Isaiah 45:23 By myself I have sworn, from my mouth has gone forth in righteousness a word that shall the note return: 'To me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.' RSV) Say "from my mouth has gone forth in righteousness a word that shall the note return" came from Hebrew yatsa mi po tsedaqah dabar we lo yasyuv, יָצָא מִפִּי צְדָקָה דָּבָר וְלאׁיָשׁוּב, that was translated by LAI "dari mulut-Ku telah keluar kebenaran, suatu firman yang tidak dapat ditarik kembali" showed that that Word went out (read: was born) from God's "mouth" (Godself). From this article could be attracted by the conclusion that very much went out the Word of God continue to and could not be withdrawn, but God's Word same continued to adhere in Godself.

10 questions that we often receive (as Christians)

1.Is it, Christians not the follower Jesus Christ but the follower Paulus?
No, please! Christians from his name has been found out if the follower Christ. Paulus it is wrong an apostle (the envoy) Christ that was most popular in fact often also was accused as ‘si penyeleweng the teaching Jesus Kristus’. But all that it was untrue, Paul loyal reported Gospel of Christ and the authority as well as his capacity were then acknowledged and supported by the three congregation's teachers heritages namely Peter, James and John. Moreover Catholics who were talked about as Paulinist then placed their faith under Pope's guidance in the Vatican that mentioned itself the continued replacement of the throne of Peter as the shepherd of all Christian group, not Paul.
We not only the follower of Paul, but also the follower of the other apostles of Jesus Christ(including Barnabas right! , but not the writer ‘false gospel’ Barnabas, Mr Fra Marino or Mustafa de Arande), because they reporting Good News to us for generations. And of course, obeyed their reports meant to become the follower Good News personally that is the Word of God that incarnated in humankind, Jesus Christ. Like the Apostle Paul's words personally, What I mean is that each one of you says, "I belong to Paul," or "I belong to Apol'los," or "I belong to Cephas," or "I belong to Christ." Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? (Corinthians I 1:12-13, RSV). Not Paul, Apolos or Kefas (Peter) that was crucified for us, not also in their name we were baptised; but Jesus Christ that was crucified for us, and in Jesus's name (the Son) also we were baptised (this not meant that I followed the Sabelianisme understanding that taught that Persona of Jesus was the Persona of the Father).So, what's the base of these charges? Or could we take note the interesting comment from the writer the Kemartiran Polikarpus Story (the pupil the Apostle Yohanes that became the martyr in the year 156 M.) in the article 17 articles 2 when having someone at the urging of Jews incited the Governor to the Polikarpus body (that became the martyr because of being stabbed the knife after not vulnerable was burnt) was not buried because when being buried by Christians‘will worship Polycarp also, changed him that was crucified (Jesus)’. The writer commented ‘ They (Jews) did not understand that not possibly for us (Christians who became this eyewitness of the martyrdom incident) to leave Christ, that suffered for the safety of all the world and they who were saved.’ Afterwards to the following article ‘... but for the martyrs, we loved them as the follower and took part in the Lord's model, ... , because of their service that was extraordinary to the King and their Teacher.’ Already clear that Christians were the pupil Christ Jesus whereas all the apostles, prophets, teachers, bishops, presbyters, deacons and all the attendants the Lord were the faith model for group in being loyal to God.

About Sabbath

Matthew 5:17 "Think not that I have come to abolish the law and the prophets; I have come not to abolish them but to fulfil them.
Matthew 5:18 For truly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the law until all is accomplished.
Romans 10:4 For Christ is the end of the law, that every one who has faith may be justified.
Mark 2:27 And he said to them, "The sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath;
Romans 14:5 One man esteems one day as better than another, while another man esteems all days alike. Let every one be fully convinced in his own mind.
Romans 14:6 He who observes the day, observes it in honor of the Lord.
Luke 16:16 "The law and the prophets were until John; ....
Galatians 3:24 So that the law was our custodian until Christ came, that we might be justified by faith.
Galatians 3:25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a custodian;

About unclean foods
Matthew 15:10 And he called the people to him and said to them, "Hear and understand:
Matthew 15:11 not what goes into the mouth defiles a man, but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man."
Mark 7:14 And he called the people to him again, and said to them, "Hear me, all of you, and understand:
Mark 7:15 there is nothing outside a man which by going into him can defile him; but the things which come out of a man are what defile him."
Mark 7:18 And he said to them, "Then are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a man from outside cannot defile him,
Mark 7:19 since it enters, not his heart but his stomach, and so passes on?" (Thus he declared all foods clean.)

The warning
Romans 14:2 One believes he may eat anything, while the weak man eats only vegetables.
Romans 14:3 Let not him who eats despise him who abstains, and let not him who abstains pass judgment on him who eats; for God has welcomed him.
Romans 14:6 ... He also who eats, eats in honor of the Lord, since he gives thanks to God; while he who abstains, abstains in honor of the Lord and gives thanks to God.
Timothy I 4:4 For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving;
Timothy I 4:5 for then it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer.
Romans 14:10 Why do you pass judgment on your brother? Or you, why do you despise your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of God;
Romans 14:13 Then let us no more pass judgment on one another, but rather decide never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother.
Romans 14:14 I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself; but it is unclean for any one who thinks it unclean.
Romans 14:15 If your brother is being injured by what you eat, you are no longer walking in love. Do not let what you eat cause the ruin of one for whom Christ died.

Conclusion
Romans 14:16 So do not let your good be spoken of as evil.
Romans 14:17 For the kingdom of God is not food and drink but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit;
Romans 14:19 Let us then pursue what makes for peace and for mutual upbuilding.
Romans 14:20 Do not, for the sake of food, destroy the work of God. Everything is indeed clean, but it is wrong for any one to make others fall by what he eats;
Romans 14:21 it is right not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything that makes your brother stumble.
Romans 14:22 The faith that you have, keep between yourself and God; happy is he who has no reason to judge himself for what he approves.

For myself guidance
Colossians 2:16 Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a sabbath.
Colossians 2:17 These are only a shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ.

There was NO COMPROMIES

Reading: 1 Cor 6:9-10 "Or know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with men, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God."

The cutting of the article above deliberate to focus whereas that reeked of the behaviour of deviant sex. In the modern period that increasingly “permissive” –actual matters have been since the past and to the Christian teaching concern since at first – increasingly worsened. Indecent activities, adultery, the sexual deviation (the transvestite, gay&lesbian) apparently has become usual matters and could be accepted by the modern community. Moreover newest information mentioned that in the Netherlands and several cities in the USA the gay-lesbian marriage was legalised and that was saddest was to be gotten the church that served the gay-lesbian marriage blessing (certainly not the true church). Wow! .

Paul reminded us that people who did these matters will not get God's kingdom. And when being connected with Rome 1:18-32 was said that anyone who did matters was like this, ought to be sentenced to death, not only they who carried him himself out, but also they who agreed with them that did (v. 32). We then, that agreed or was silent (that could be assumpted as the attitude ‘not refused’) also deserved to be punished. So relatives, our attitude and the church who had Lord must clear and firm refused all the forms of the problem of indecent activities, adultery, the similar marriage, the transvestite et cetera as well as continually made an effort to make them aware back to the way of truth. Haleluya!

The CORE of the Christian TEACHING

the Reading: the Act of 24:5 "... this man ... a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes:"

Some person said that the understanding of the Paul Apostle about Jesus and Christian faith very different from the understanding of the follower Jesus at first. In fact despite the tradition that “accepted by” the Apostle Paul precisely was not the same as the Injil (Gospel) report, continued to have the important similarity. Paul explained his understanding about Christian faith in front of the leaders of the Jerusalem church in Galatia 2:6-10. The Paul understanding about Injil (Gospel) did not prosecute the person of the infidel to undertake the law (Torah). According to Paul, his understanding about the Christian message in accordance with the understanding of first pupils and the apostle Jesus (that was known as “church pillars”), including Peter. Paul did not develop the new version of Christianity that be compatible that was older, that is the form kekristenan that more jewishness that was developed by the leaders of the church in Jerusalem. The Paul understanding about the Christian messages and the authority of his apostolacy to report this message was strengthened by the leader of the church in Jerusalem.So clear, in no way important difference proof in the opinion was linked with the message of Christian faith of the core. Well Paul and Peter strengthened the death and Jesus's resurgence (ordered the core of the Christian teaching), and the need of the faith response from the person who will be saved.

mlt` - ܡܠܬܐ
Dengan vokal ܡܶܠܬ݂ܳܐ, dibaca miltho (Syria Barat) atau miltha (Syria Timur), merupakan Noun (kata benda) mempunyai arti word, case, cause, matter. Dengan begitu, dalam Peshitta kata Firman (Miltha) dimengerti sebagai tidak hanya Firman (word), melainkan juga dapat dimengerti sebagai Cause (sebab, penyebab, alasan, maksud, perkara). Jika dikaitkan dengan Kol 1:16-17 maka Sang Firman adalah Penyebab utama dalam proses Penciptaan. Dan jika kita setia pada pemahaman bahwa segala sesuatu adalah dari Allah, oleh Allah dan kepada Allah (Roma 11:36) maka sudah barang tentu Firman Allah ini dari Allah, oleh Allah dan kepada Allah. Firman itu dari Allah karena keluar dari “mulut” Allah (Yes 45:23), oleh Allah karena tidak ada yang berhak memberikan Firman kepada alam semesta dan segala isinya selain Allah karena Ia PenciptaNya (Mzm 33:9, Yes 44:24), dan kepada Allah karena Firman itu kembali kepada Allah setelah berhasil melaksanakan Kehendak Allah (Yes 55:11). Oleh karena itu Allah sama sekali tidak perlu pendamping dalam proses Penciptaan, tidak perlu sekutu dalam Penciptaan karena Allah Maha Kuasa, Maha Kuat, Maha Sempurna dan Maha segalanya. Allah tinggal berfirman, maka semuanya jadi (dan memang Allah menciptakan segala sesuatu dengan firman-Nya (Kej 1:2), mengapa harus memerlukan Malaikat (meskipun itu Penghulu Malaikat) kalau hanya untuk menciptakan Manusia? Padahal kita manusia-lah yang akan menghakimi malaikat-malaikat (1 Kor 6:3). Janganlah kamu biarkan kemenanganmu digagalkan oleh orang-orang yang berpura-pura merendahkan diri dan beribadah kepada malaikat, sedang ia tidak berpegang teguh kepada Kepala (Kol 2:18-19). Sebab aku yakin, bahwa baik maut, maupun hidup, baik malaikat-malaikat, ... , atau kuasa-kuasa, baik yang di atas, maupun yang di bawah, ataupun sesuatu makhluk lain, tidak akan dapat memisahkan kita dari kasih Allah, yang ada dalam Kristus Yesus, Tuhan kita. (Rm 8:38-39). Semua penulis kitab-kitab PB sepakat membedakan atau setidaknya tidak melihat adanya persamaan pribadi antara Yesus, guru dan Tuhan mereka, dengan sesosok malaikat pun (termasuk Mikhael, Gabriel, Raphael atau bahkan Satanael). Yesus adalah inkarnasi dari Sang Firman, yang telah keluar dari “mulut” Allah, sebagaimana kata Sang Guru dari Galilea tersebut, “... , sebab Aku keluar dan datang dari Allah ...” (Yoh 8:42) sebab Sang Firman itu telah menjadi manusia (Yoh 1:14).Firman itu juga telah kembali kepada Allah, dan akan datang kembali kelak untuk menghakimi bangsa-bangsa, karena Ia adalah Sang Penunggang Kuda Putih, Yang Setia dan Yang Benar, nama-Nya ialah “Firman Allah” (Why 19:11,13).
