It is a sad day for the whole Church of Christ, but as what Bro. Erano Manalo, Ka Erdy always quote "To live is Christ, to die is gain". Truly, he lived a life in Christ and spending all of it in the service of God. His memories will stay in our hearts until we meet the Lord.

It is just a long name.

Response to Isaiah 9:6 pls explain to me....
 

Some translations do not say name, but that is not accurate. The Hebrew text says 'his name'.

The best translation of this verse that I have seen is from the AJV (American Jewish Version). It goes like this: "... And his name is called Pele-joez-el-gibbor-abi-ad-sar-shalom". So it is a long name. In a footnote the name is translated "Wonderful in counsel is God the mighty, the everlasting Father, the Ruler of peace". It is not the only long name in Isaiah, look at verse 8:3, that has the name Maher-shalal-hash-baz.

Also it is not the only name in the Bible that contains the word God, many Israelites had God as part of their names. Some had also the word Father as part of their name. So this is no proof that Jesus is God, or Father, or eternal.
