“Quantum mechanics is certainly imposing. But an inner voice tells me that it is not yet the real thing. The theory says a lot, but does not really bring us any closer to the secret of the Old One.

Quote “Jehovah is a Man of War, Jehovah is his name.” (Exodus 15:3) Contrast “Jehovah is a Man of War” with the words of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount: “Blessed are the Peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God.” (Matthew 5:9)I think you have to realize that you are not God.

But what is the cause? If there is nothing, then there is nothing to 'cause' something to happen.The static universe model was generally accepted until the last century, when someone figured out that the beginning words of the Bible were correct and general belief was wrong.

In fact, on another occasion Jesus confirmed that Satan truly is the ruler of the kingdoms of this world. He said: “the ruler of this world will be cast out.” And he added: “the ruler of the world is coming. And he has no hold on me.” And, “the ruler of this world has been judged.”–John 12:31; 14:30; 16:11I'm going to sleep. Bye.

Quote Who is the God of this world? Jehovah. Some Bible research disagrees with you. Nowhere at all in scripture is Jehovah God called the “ruler of this world.” On the contrary, 4 places in scripture Jesus referred to Satan as the “ruler of this world.”And remember when Satan “tempted” Jesus by offering him all the kingdoms of the world and…[Read more]

So if someone who is 100% sure of something is “intellectually dead” what is someone who is: “99.9999999999999999999999999999% sure”?I would argue that if someone is 100% sure is intellectually dead, then someone who is 99.9999999999999999999999999999% sure, is much the same.In my mind an atheist is someone who doesn't believe in God.And an…[Read more]

I need to sleep now, but on the word “jealousy” as used in the Bible, essentially “jealousy” of Jehovah = zeal.Please look up that word and notice everywhere it is used. It is not the bad jealousy that we commonly think of. His jealousy is therefore a pure, clean jealousy and is altogether for the benefit of his creatures, as their devotion…[Read more]

EXODUS 33:18-34:27“At this he said: “Cause me to see, please, your glory.”In the Hebrew Scriptures, the word most often translated “glory” is ka·vohdh′, which basically has the sense of “heaviness.” (Compare Na 2:9, where ka·vohdh′ is rendered “heavy amount,” and 1Sa 4:18, where the related adjective ka·vedh′ is rendered “heavy.”) Thus, glor…[Read more]

Since he is a Spirit beyond the power of humans to see (Joh 4:24), any description of his appearance in human terms can only approximate his incomparable glory. (Isa 40:25, 26) While not actually seeing their Creator (Joh 1:18), certain of his servants were given inspired visions of his heavenly courts. Their description of his presence portrays…[Read more]
