Question
-------------------------

Janko
Answer -
The purpose of being saved is to be declared righteous by God and thus becoming one of his children that will have the privlege of serving Him forever on a paradise earth  which was original His purpose for mankind from very the beginning.The real life is yet to come. The way it has been throughout time there have been judgment days and the key is to come out of them in God's favor,and that is why we have His instruction book to guide and direct us.All those that are in their graves now are actually in a better place than we are because there going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and unrighteous for them,but we must stand firm while alive during these judgment periods because
only the great crowd that comes out of the great tribulation
will get an opportunity to live forever along with the resurrected ones.The final judgment will be when Satan is loosed from the abyss and when all that he has misled again
decide to follow him,they will all be thrown into the lake of fire,the second death,the finality.This event will take place after the thousand year reign of Christ.So if anyone is alienated from the only true God Jehovah when this great tribulation starts,will go directly to the lake of fire with no hope of a resurrection at all.I guess to avoid all this you had better have got to know this God personally beforehand.

Janko... Follow me in this scenario, I want to show you a lesson...

We are standing in the lobby of a grand hotel... We see a man and a women. The man is making advances to the woman, which he seems to know and her him. We over hear her say,,,," Oh! Mr. Jenkins, your such a tease."

We can tell from the conversation heard, that they know each other, maybe she is his secretary, and they're at some conference together. BUT we can also tell that she is not his wife. Because a wife wouldn't say, Oh! Mr. Jenkins!"  She would probably say, Oh! Honey!You're such a tease!"

The relationship depicts how one is addressed.

A memorial name is Mr. Albert Jenkins. To someone who only knows him as a secretary might, it is Mr. Jenkins. To a wife, it is sweetheart, honey, or even Albert, if she is annoyed, but never Mr. Albert Jenkins.

From our small conversation on God,Jehovah,Jesus, it is very clear, that with all your knowledge of scripture, you still address the Lord with His memorial name, rather than His name that comes from an intimate relationship with Him...as a wife.  

So although you are saying you KNOW HIM, it is obvious your relationship is as the secretary in the depiction, and not as the wife...

And in answer to the purpose of ones salvation, it is that He might conform, transform, mould, shape His own, into the very likeness of Christ Jesus. For He is coming for a Bride, made in His image and likeness, can you see Him with anything less?

Sincerely IN HIM

Answer
I don't know about you but I address Jehovah as my God and Father,and to have a memorial name as you put it is not correct because He is the LIVING GOD.Everything that you are trying to say in your correspondence is all irrelevent to the fact of the matter which is,you don't even worship the only true God and use his personal name that he has wanted to be known throughout the entire inhabited earth and you are not one of Jehovah's Witnesses,then your are accomplishing nothing and your words are meaningless.
