Man's walk with God, introduction to flash stick/Bible search engine

Control over one’s destiny is a given – certainly in this country.

You have to ask yourself whether or not the path you choose is the path that will allow you to be proud when you stand before God in the final reckoning.You decide your own fate – but God is the umpire in the game. It is the most serious game you will ever play. It is more serious than the World Series in major league baseball; more serious than the Super Bowl; more serious than action in combat. It will decide your fate for eternity and that is serious.

When you examine the record you will ultimately decide the following:

Did you do your best?

Or did you blame others, or your condition?

Did you sin grievously along the way?

And are you ashamed if you did?

Would you desire to have another chance?

Would you act differently?

Did you throw your life away?

Was your life dominated by sin or pleasure-seeking?

Did you help others along the way?

Did you take care of God’s creatures?

Will you leave this life a bit better off than it was?

Did you neglect to thank your Maker for the opportunity?

HAVE YOU EXAMINED YOUR CONSCIENCE LATELY?

1CO 11:28 But let a man <examine> himself, and so let him eat of [that]
bread, and drink of [that] cup.

2CO 13:5  <Examine> yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own
selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in
you, except ye be reprobates?

JOH 8:9   And they which heard [it], being convicted by [their own]
<conscience>, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, [even]
unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing
in the midst.
ACT 23:1  And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men [and]
brethren, I have lived in all good <conscience> before God until
this day.
ACT 24:16 And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a <conscience> void
of offence toward God, and [toward] men.
ROM 2:15  Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their
<conscience> also bearing witness, and [their] thoughts the mean
while accusing or else excusing one another;)
ROM 9:1   I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my <conscience> also bearing
me witness in the Holy Ghost,
ROM 13:5  Wherefore [ye] must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but
also for <conscience> sake.
1CO 8:7   Howbeit [there is] not in every man that knowledge: for some with
<conscience> of the idol unto this hour eat [it] as a thing offered
unto an idol; and their <conscience> being weak is defiled.
1CO 8:10  For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the
idol’s temple, shall not the <conscience> of him which is weak be
emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols;
1CO 8:12  But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak
<conscience>, ye sin against Christ.
1CO 10:25 Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, [that] eat, asking no
question for <conscience> sake:
1CO 10:27 If any of them that believe not bid you [to a feast], and ye be
disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no
question for <conscience> sake.
1CO 10:28 But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto
idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for <conscience>
sake: for the earth [is] the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof:
1CO 10:29 <Conscience>, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my
liberty judged of another [man's] <conscience>?
2CO 1:12  For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our <conscience>, that
in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but
by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world,
and more abundantly to you-ward.
2CO 4:2   But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking
in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by
manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s
<conscience> in the sight of God.
1TI 1:5   Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart,
and [of] a good <conscience>, and [of] faith unfeigned:
1TI 1:19  Holding faith, and a good <conscience>; which some having put away
concerning faith have made shipwreck:
1TI 3:9   Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure <conscience>.
1TI 4:2   Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their <conscience> seared with a
hot iron;
2TI 1:3   I thank God, whom I serve from [my] forefathers with pure
<conscience>, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my
prayers night and day;
TIT 1:15  Unto the pure all things [are] pure: but unto them that are
defiled and unbelieving [is] nothing pure; but even their mind
and <conscience> is defiled.
HEB 9:9   Which [was] a figure for the time then present, in which were
offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that
did the service perfect, as pertaining to the <conscience>;
HEB 9:14  How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal
Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your
<conscience> from dead works to serve the living God?
HEB 10:2  For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that
the worshippers once purged should have had no more <conscience> of
sins.
HEB 10:22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith,
having our hearts sprinkled from an evil <conscience>, and our
bodies washed with pure water.
HEB 13:18 Pray for us: for we trust we have a good <conscience>, in all
things willing to live honestly.
1PE 2:19  For this [is] thankworthy, if a man for <conscience> toward God
endure grief, suffering wrongfully.
1PE 3:16  Having a good <conscience>; that, whereas they speak evil of you,
as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your
good conversation in Christ.
1PE 3:21  The like figure whereunto [even] baptism doth also now save us
(not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer
of a good <conscience> toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus
Christ:

September 29 and 30 represent the 1^st and 2^nd of the Hebrew month of Tisri, the 7^th month of the Hebrew civil year and the 1^st month of the ecclesiastical year, and in ancient times celebrated by the blowing of Trumpets, according to the Law of Moses. If this magical time was consistent with other Feasts of Israel, there would be a full moon on these days. but the full moon in the Holy Land occurs on 11 and 12 October, 2011, and so we have a discrepancy of approximately 12 days. If, and it is a big if,  every 231 years the Gregorian calendar “gained” with respect to the actual date, and 2772 years account for the 12 day discrepancy. So the Feast of Trumpets, now replaced with a feast of horns, so-to-speak, in my way of reckoning, should begin tomorrow, the 11^th of October, consistent with occurrence of the full moon.

LEV 23:23 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

LEV 23:24 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first [day] of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a           memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.

LEV 23:25 Ye shall do no servile work [therein]: but ye shall offer an

offering made by fire unto the LORD.

And also …

LEV 23:26 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

LEV 23:27 Also on the tenth [day] of this seventh month [there shall be] a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and

ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.

LEV 23:28 And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it [is] a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the LORD your God.

LEV 23:29 For whatsoever soul [it be] that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people.

LEV 23:30 And whatsoever soul [it be] that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people.

LEV 23:31 Ye shall do no manner of work: [it shall be] a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

LEV 23:32 It [shall be] unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth [day] of the month at even, from even

unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath.

LEV 23:33 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

LEV 23:34 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month [shall be] the feast of tabernacles [for]           seven days unto the LORD.

LEV 23:35 On the first day [shall be] an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work [therein].

LEV 23:36 Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye           shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it [is] a           solemn assembly; [and] ye shall do no servile work [therein].

LEV 23:37 These [are] the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim [to be] holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto the

LORD, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and

drink offerings, every thing upon his day:

And as Jesus sat upon the mount of Olives [red letter ]

N.b.,

MAT 24:31 {And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and} {they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from} {one end of heaven to the other.}

Beginning at MAT 24:3

MAT 24:3  And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto

him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and

what [shall be] the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the

world?

MAT 24:4  And Jesus answered and said unto them, {Take heed that no man}

{deceive you.}

MAT 24:5  {For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall}

{deceive many.}

MAT 24:6  {And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not}

{troubled: for all [these things] must come to pass, but the end}

{is not yet.}

MAT 24:7  {For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against}

{kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and}

{earthquakes, in divers places.}

MAT 24:8  {All these [are] the beginning of sorrows.}

MAT 24:9  {Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill}

{you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.}

MAT 24:10 {And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another,}

{and shall hate one another.}

MAT 24:11 {And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.}

MAT 24:12 {And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax}

{cold.}

MAT 24:13 {But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.}

MAT 24:14 {And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world}

{for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.}

MAT 24:15 {When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken}

{of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso}

{readeth, let him understand:)}

MAT 24:16 {Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:}

MAT 24:17 {Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing}

{out of his house:}

MAT 24:18 {Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his}

{clothes.}

MAT 24:19 {And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck}

{in those days!}

MAT 24:20 {But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the}

{sabbath day:}

MAT 24:21 {For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the}

{beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.}

MAT 24:22 {And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh}

{be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be}

{shortened.}

MAT 24:23 {Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here [is] Christ, or}

{there; believe [it] not.}

MAT 24:24 {For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and}

{shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were]}

{possible, they shall deceive the very elect.}

MAT 24:25 {Behold, I have told you before.}

MAT 24:26 {Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the}

{desert; go not forth: behold, [he is] in the secret chambers;}

{believe [it] not.}

MAT 24:27 {For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even}

{unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.}

MAT 24:28 {For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered}

{together.}

MAT 24:29   {Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun}

{be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars}

{shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be}

{shaken:}

MAT 24:30 {And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and}

{then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see}

{the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and}

{great glory.}

MAT 24:31 {And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and} {they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from} {one end of heaven to the other.}

MAT 24:32 {Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet}

{tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer [is] nigh:}

MAT 24:33 {So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it}

{is near, [even] at the doors.}

MAT 24:34 {Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all}

{these things be fulfilled.}

MAT 24:35 {Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass}

{away.}

MAT 24:36   {But of that day and hour knoweth no [man], no, not the angels}

{of heaven, but my Father only.}

MAT 24:37 {But as the days of Noe [were], so shall also the coming of the}

{Son of man be.}

MAT 24:38 {For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating}

{and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that}

{Noe entered into the ark,}

MAT 24:39 {And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so}

{shall also the coming of the Son of man be.}

MAT 24:40 {Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the}

{other left.}

MAT 24:41 {Two [women shall be] grinding at the mill; the one shall be}

{taken, and the other left.}

MAT 24:42   {Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth}

{come.}

MAT 24:43 {But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what}

{watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not}

{have suffered his house to be broken up.}

MAT 24:44 {Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not}

{the Son of man cometh.}

MAT 24:45 {Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made}

{ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?}

MAT 24:46 {Blessed [is] that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall}

{find so doing.}

MAT 24:47 {Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his}

{goods.}

MAT 24:48 {But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord}

{delayeth his coming;}

MAT 24:49 {And shall begin to smite [his] fellowservants, and to eat and}

{drink with the drunken;}

MAT 24:50 {The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not}

{for [him], and in an hour that he is not aware of,}

MAT 24:51 {And shall cut him asunder, and appoint [him] his portion with the}

{hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.}

MAT 25:1  {Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins,}

{which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.}

MAT 25:2  {And five of them were wise, and five [were] foolish.}

MAT 25:3  {They that [were] foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with}

{them:}

MAT 25:4  {But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.}

MAT 25:5  {While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.}

MAT 25:6  {And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom}

{cometh; go ye out to meet him.}

MAT 25:7  {Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.}

MAT 25:8  {And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our}

{lamps are gone out.}

MAT 25:9  {But the wise answered, saying, [Not so]; lest there be not enough}

{for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for}

{yourselves.}

MAT 25:10 {And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that}

{were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was}

{shut.}

MAT 25:11 {Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open}

{to us.}

MAT 25:12 {But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.}

MAT 25:13 {Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein}

{the Son of man cometh.}

MAT 25:14   {For [the kingdom of heaven is] as a man travelling into a far}

{country, [who] called his own servants, and delivered unto them}

{his goods.}

MAT 25:15 {And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another}

{one; to every man according to his several ability; and}

{straightway took his journey.}

MAT 25:16 {Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with}

{the same, and made [them] other five talents.}

MAT 25:17 {And likewise he that [had received] two, he also gained other}

{two.}

MAT 25:18 {But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and}

{hid his lord’s money.}

MAT 25:19 {After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and}

{reckoneth with them.}

MAT 25:20 {And so he that had received five talents came and brought other}

{five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five}

{talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.}

MAT 25:21 {His lord said unto him, Well done, [thou] good and faithful}

{servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make}

{thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy}

{lord.}

MAT 25:22 {He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou}

{deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other}

{talents beside them.}

MAT 25:23 {His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant;}

{thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler}

{over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.}

MAT 25:24 {Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I}

{knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not}

{sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:}

MAT 25:25 {And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo,}

{[there] thou hast [that is] thine.}

MAT 25:26 {His lord answered and said unto him, [Thou] wicked and slothful}

{servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather}

{where I have not strawed:}

MAT 25:27 {Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers,}

{and [then] at my coming I should have received mine own with}

{usury.}

MAT 25:28 {Take therefore the talent from him, and give [it] unto him which}

{hath ten talents.}

MAT 25:29 {For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have}

{abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even}

{that which he hath.}

MAT 25:30 {And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there}

{shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.}

MAT 25:31   {When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy}

{angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:}

MAT 25:32 {And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall}

{separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth [his]}

{sheep from the goats:}

MAT 25:33 {And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on}

{the left.}

MAT 25:34 {Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye}

{blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from}

{the foundation of the world:}

MAT 25:35 {For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye}

{gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:}

MAT 25:36 {Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in}

{prison, and ye came unto me.}

MAT 25:37 {Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we}

{thee an hungred, and fed [thee]? or thirsty, and gave [thee]}

{drink?}

MAT 25:38 {When saw we thee a stranger, and took [thee] in? or naked, and}

{clothed [thee]?}

MAT 25:39 {Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?}

MAT 25:40 {And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto}

{you, Inasmuch as ye have done [it] unto one of the least of these}

{my brethren, ye have done [it] unto me.}

MAT 25:41 {Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from}

{me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and}

{his angels:}

MAT 25:42 {For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and}

{ye gave me no drink:}

MAT 25:43 {I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me}

{not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.}

MAT 25:44 {Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee}

{an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in}

{prison, and did not minister unto thee?}

MAT 25:45 {Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you,}

{Inasmuch as ye did [it] not to one of the least of these, ye did}

{[it] not to me.}

MAT 25:46 {And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the}

{righteous into life eternal.}

MAT 26:2  {Ye know that after two days is [the feast of] the passover, and}

{the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.}

You should not try to educate yourself in religion, or philosophy. Why do I say this? Once you have found the true Word of God, and have read His Word, you needn’t look any further. To do so would be an exercise most futile and a cause for anathema; a voyage into the fake and farce – from the truth to man’s false nonsense. For man is devious; sometimes unintentionally, but always with an agenda. And man is human – weak and superstitious. Try to find the calm, the beauty that exists everywhere,

Try:

The letter from Paul to the Saints in Macdonia, i.e., Philippi, viz.,

PHI 4:5   Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord [is] at           hand.  PHI 4:6  Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer nd

supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known           unto God.  PHI 4:7   And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall steep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

PHI 4:8  Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things [are] honest, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things

[are] pure, whatsoever things [are] lovely, whatsoever things [are] of good report; if [there be] any virtue, and if [there be] any praise, think on these things.

Why does the 2^nd coming of Christ pose such controversy? Why do some people, perhaps the same people, believe the so-called laws of physics are somehow man’s laws? In the former, the City of God, written by St. Augustine and published in the 4^th century, allegorized the non-poetic books of the Bible, replacing Israel with the “church” resulting in the so-called POST-MILLENNILISM view of the 2^nd coming, i.e., that man’s “church” would pave the way. This interpretation of Scripture gave the (catholic) church new powers, unintended by God.

This philosophy began to fade away, mainly due to the aftermath of WW1, and a new idea arose; that of A MILLENNIAlISM, which taught that Christ will not return and that there will be no earthly Kingdom – in direct contradiction to Scripture. ‘We are in the new Kingdom now’ – states the A MILLENNILIST.

Today there is a mix. No one seems to know. No one seems to accept the Bible – literally. But many do believe, literally , and those who do are said to be PRE MILLENNILISTS.

I suppose those who distrusted man’s interpretation of the Will of God, his Universal Laws, the Laws of Physics, at one time might well have been called something akin to POST-MILLENNILISTS; those who ascribed to man’s solutions as HUMANISTS; and those who believe that His Laws are but a manifestation of is Will – His Will – CHRISTIAN PHYSICISTS (1).

Pre millennialism is the view that Christ’s second coming will occur prior to His millennial kingdom, and that the millennial kingdom is a literal 1000-year reign of Christ on earth.

Philosophy yields no answers but treats the existence of God as a series of arguments, none of which can be proved or disproved. Given: an incredible awesomely designed universe. Is it possible that such an intricate mechanism, from the orbits of planets round the sun to the cells in your fingernails could all have happened by chance? Surely, this enormously complex mechanism has been designed, and the being that designed it must be God. (An ostentatious argument in favor of a causal, rather than a happenstance origin). Einstein would favor this (conclusion).
The ontological argument
God is the perfect being. As He is most perfect, He must have all perfections. If God lacked existence He would not be perfect, as He is perfect he must exist.
The cosmological argument (God as “First cause”)
Everything that exists has a cause. However, there must at some time have been a cause prior to all other causes. This ‘prime mover’ or first cause is necessary to explain existence. This first cause is God.
Pascal’s Wager
The French mathematician Blaise Pascal put forward an argument that would appeal to agnostics, hose who believe it is impossible to prove God’s existence.
His argument goes something like this: God either exists or he does not. If we believe in God and he exists, we will be rewarded with eternal bliss in heaven. If we believe in God and he does not exist then at worst all we have forgone is a few sinful pleasures.
If we do not believe in God and he does exist we may enjoy a few sinful pleasures, but we may face eternal damnation. If we do not believe in God and he does not exist then our sins will not be punished.
Question: Would any rational gambler think that the experience of a few sinful pleasures is worth the risk of eternal damnation?

Kant
Kant attempted to show how philosophy could prove the existence of God. Unfortunately, for him his previous work showed that we could not know reality directly as thing-in-itself. What is real in itself is beyond our experience. Even if God exists, we can not know God as he really is.
For Kant the Christian could have faith in God, and this faith would be consonant with reason and the categorical imperative. Given that human beings have the autonomy to create moral values, it would not be irrational to believe in a God who gives purpose to the moral realm.

As a physicist, or at least as one who once was a physicist – being retired at the present time – I am intrigued by the concept that – (perhaps) nothing is real – at least as we perceive it. Einstein found quantum mechanics, the end of the end all, to be an anathema in that it showed God playing dice as it were with physical processes, all of them we know of, as being a consequence of chance; the world being governed by by an accumulation of outcomes of essentially “random” choices of possibilities – much like what happens on a trip to Vegas.

But it is fairly certain that this limitless – some say infinite – universe is in essence a metaphysical state much like the holographic images we can only interpret in consequence of Fourier transforms – a very difficult subject. After all ask yourself the question: if the universe is bounded, what is it bounded by and if not, and infinite, surely it is not real.

Why does water exdpand upon freezing? This too is an anathema. All other substances shrink. If water did not expand at the point of freezing, that is, turning from a liquid to a solid – or just slightly above that magical temperature – it can be argued no life could be possible! Did you know that? In times of extreme cold, bodies of water would freeze, instead of from the top down, from the bottom up. Of course this act would eventually kill all life. One can find many other processes that were designed to sustain life. Why?

So man invents a man-like God, a figure, a father-figure, to whom he can appeal to in times of worry or dismay. And man may, in this instance, be exactly correct. The Bible says: “we are made in the image and likeness of God.” Why not! Since He can take any form or place at Will surely He can be our conceptual image. And the whole state of affairs is metaphysical. And governed by rules. Those found in the Bible – which is the only written form of prophecy we have.

N.b., In the summer of 1982, at the University of Paris – South, a team led by Alain Aspect, a physicist, completed a series of experiments designed to detect the underlying reality below the unreal world of the quantum. This underlying reality, or basic clockwork, had formerly been given the name of “hidden variables.” The result of these experiments are considered unambiguous. The kind of correlation predicted by hidden variable theory was not found. The experiments proved that there is no underlying reality in the world! ENTER: God.

Introduction

Obviously the Old Testament was the Bible Jesus read. The New Testament was gradually produced at the time of Jesus. The original Christian churches initially used only the Old Testament.

I would like to begin this work by quoting from Zola Levitt’s book “The Bible that Jesus Read.”

In preface, I would like the reader to understand that I attempt very little creation herein; quote where ever possible and back up any and all, to the extent possible, with Scripture as taken from the King James Bible (KJV). So quote and not create is my goal and substantiate using the Word of god as far as possible.
 
Zola and Dr. Thomas S. McCall collaborated, viz., the mid 1970s, to produce a book that took the Word to the Jew first and the Christian secondly. They relied heavily on the Old Testament – or First Covenant – to bring the “babe” – both Jew and Gentile – to a fuller understanding of the relationship of God Himself to man, as created. The story of creation is given in Genesis – the first book of the first covenant.

They began by stating: “In the beginning there once was a time when only God existed, nothing else was there anywhere, no worlds, no stars, no universe. God existed alone, by Himself. God introduced creation into what was utterly uncreated. He made things – things that were not God.

From eternity with love he made our habitation, matter and energy. He first made the Angels in all their splendor, spiritual brings unlike those material things that we are accustomed to experiencing around us. Then He made light, the celestial bodies, the earth and all the rest of the physical universe. And finally He created that intriguing set of entities we call living things – the plants and animals and, ultimately, in his own image, man.

When he finished these mighty works of creation He evaluated what he had made. He called it good – “very good.”

The only source of the above information is the Bible, of course. Man has forever made guesses at how all we see came into being, but they have indeed been only guesses. Imaginings about our planet and its life being the laboratory experiments of superior creatures elsewhere in the universe, or beyond it, scenarios about life evolving on its own and the universe making itself, and all of the other theories of origins which come and go, tend to be just that – imaginings.

The Bible addresses itself to the whole story, answering all questions for those who would believe the revelation it presents. The opening chapters of the Bible indicate that God, the beginning-less One, made all the rest. “In the beginning God …” commences scriptural revelation, and we are told that God has chosen to explain what happened before we came into being.

The majesty and grandeur of the opening chapter of Genesis surpasses all man-made series of origins in its completeness and its power. It describes God as having feelings, along with His omnipotence and omniscience. The world and the universe are apparently a gift, a sublime incredibly well-adapted gift of God to man. Life itself is a breath of God which turns dust into living, thinking, feeling existence.

God is not, according to Scripture, the maker of a clever self operating dollhouse of magnificent proportions, but rather the Giver of all creation. He does not stand aloof from all these proceedings, curious as to have his working model will turn out under the management of His walking, talking caretakers – mankind. Rather, He is passionately involved in all He has made, as we see immediately in his first dealings with his first man – Adam
Self existence:
God is the first cause of everything, yet He Himself is caused by nothing.   Exodus 3:13-14 And Moses said unto God, Behold, [when] I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What [is] his name? What shall I say unto them?
EXO 3:14  And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt
          thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
EXO 3:15  And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the
          children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of
          Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me
          unto you: this [is] my name for ever, and this [is] my memorial
          unto all generations.
      Immutability (or inability to characteristically change): God cannot change within His nature. He cannot lie now, now will He ever be able to do so. He cannot be party to sin, nor will He ever cause or condone it’s operation. Malachi 3:6 “For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.”
           In application, then, if God makes a covenant with man, He will never break or ignore that covenant. If God hinges the completion of the covenant on His own will, it will be done!
                 Hebrews 1:10-12 “And, Thou, {EMPHATIC SU, MEANING “YOU AND ONLY YOU} Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation {AORIST THEMELIOO, “ESTABLISHED A FOUNDATION ONCE AND FOR ALL} of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands: They shall perish; {FUT MID IND APOLLUMI, “SHALL BE DESTROYED} but thou remainest; {PR AC IND DIAMENO, “CONTINUE TO ABIDE FOREVER”} and they all shall wax old as doth a garment; {FUT PAS IND PALAIOO, “SHALL BE SUPERCEDED”} And as a vesture {PERIBOLAION, “A MANTLE THAT YOU WRAP AROUND YOURSELF”} shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: {FUT PAS IND ALLASSO, “SHALL BE REPLACED”} but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.{FUT AC IND EKLEIPO, “SHALL NOT COME TO AN END”}
       Infinity refers to the cluster of unique attributes God possesses in Omnipotence (all powerful), Omnipresence (He is everywhere), and Omniscience (He is all knowing).
            The Omniscience of God is taught in:
                 Psalms 139:12 “Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.”
                 Proverbs 15:11 “Hell and destruction are before the LORD: how much more then the hearts of the children of men?”
                 Psalms 147:5 “Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.”
                 Isaiah 46:10 “Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:”
            The Omnipresence of God is declared in the following passages:
                 Psalms 139:7-12 “Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me. Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.”
                 Jeremiah 23:23-24 “Am I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar off? Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD. ”
                 Acts 17:27-28 “That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.”
            The Omnipotence or all-powerfulness of God is describe here:
                 Job 42:2 ” I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee.”
                 Jeremiah 32:17 ” Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee:”
                 Matthew 19:26 “But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.”
                 Revelation 19:6 ” And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.”
       The Simplicity of God refers to His unique unity, Triune in person, Father, Son, and Spirit.
            The Father is declared a separate Person by the Son:
                 John 6:27 ” Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.”
            The Son, though declared separate from God the Father, is equal with the Father:
                 John 1:1 “In the beginning {AN EXACT PARALLEL TO THE HEBREW RESHIBETH OF GENESIS 1.1. THIS TEXT REFERS TO THE BEGINNING OF CREATION}was {IMP AC IND EIMI, “EXISTED IN THE PAST WITH THE RESULT THAT HE ALWAYS EXISTED”} the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. {LITERALLY, “GOD WAS THE WORD”. REFER TO CATEGORIC OUTLINES TITLED ”  GRANVILLE SHARPE’S RULE OF KAI”}”
                 John 1:14 ” And the Word was made {AO AC IND GINOMAI, “BECAME”. JESUS WAS NOT CREATED, BUT MOVED FROM ONE REALM OF EXISTENCE (HEAVEN) TO ANOTHER (EARTH)} flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”
            The Holy Spirit is declared to be God, totally separate from both the Father and the Son:
                 Acts 5:3-4 ” But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?While it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.”

Coming soon!

The 42 million abortions a year represent the greatest sin of “man.” We are all paying the price for the amorality rampant in liberal, non-Jewish  and Non-Christian societies.  It will doom man and country. It is a good reason why, since the sixties, our nation has never won a war; and never will again. War: another act of violence against God and for which man will be accountable.
