A Footnote on Time
I am just an old man, without a formal education. So take what I write any way you want, as stupid ramblings or as something worth a thought. I am also just another ignorant sinner’s face walking among too many other sinners to truly know them all, even here in my own small town, much less in this inconceivably huge population of about eight billion children on earth. And, in these masses, about one percent illicitly claim to “own” more than half of the livable properties and lives in this world, then delude their artificially deemed “inferiors” into thinking this fake “ownership,” as well as the worshipful esteem they demand, is all normal, even just, right and good. But I believe in a Creator God who is not ignorant nor a sinner, a God who not only created the earth, but formed the spirits who love, live and inwardly desire equitable justice, who exist in a spiritual realm outside of the time and space of this material universe. I know my eternal spirit exists, because it is the only part of me which has learned to love, live and desire equitable justice. And I know my Creator God Jesus exists because my spirit has learned all this from Him. And one thing this God has taught me is that He created time, all transient linear material time as well as all eternal non-linear spiritual time.
All time flows from within His timeless mind, is defined by His thoughts, and is relative to His will.
So some may ask why I have now parted ways with evangelical creation scientists and believe that dinosaurs could have existed millions of years before God placed humans on earth. Why do I not, as an ignorant sinner, worshipfully esteem them and bow before their accolades of men? At the same time, how can I think the earth might be millions of years old, yet still look in disgust at the abstract speculations of pseudoscience about a “Big Bang” and evolution? How can I still believe that God created the entire material universe and life on earth in six days? Am I contradicting myself and now trying to straddle the fence between secular science and creation science, but refusing to join either side? Well, no. I cannot join either side because I believe that true science and God’s Word are both fully compatible. And I believe that true science objectively studies God’s creations without biases, without placing blind faith in speculations of ignorant sinners whom they have exalted to the status of human gods. Yet both the secular and creations scientists are very faulty bigots who worship men.
Some might then say I have no right to write opinions like these, because I am neither a scientist nor a genius, and have not been granted any suitable accolades that would entitle me to express these views. Some insist that, before I can judge in such matters of life, faith and true science, I must first be judged to be another human god, by other human gods, according to the good old Roman, Greek, Persian and Babylonian humanistic systems of maintaining elite hierarchies. But I argue, the media and all real history has proven that, although I am just an ignorant, foolish, twisted, little sinner, every other man and woman who ever lived is also exactly that too. So, yes, I am a fool without a degree, but spent my lifetime learning. So I am a fool who is just as qualified to judge as other fools.
Some fools gain praise from other fools, and I do not. But receiving praise and accolades from other foolish sinners is worthless. Seeing realities, then carefully pondering the implications of those realities, in a way which draws harmonious conclusions explaining all, is all that actually matters.
So I am a human sinner writing to other human sinners, meaning I am an infantile idiot writing to other equally infantile idiots, and nothing I say, nor anything they say, is right until God and His creations prove those words to be right. Thus, let me state that my principle disagreement with both secular and creation scientists involves their concepts of time. You see, both creation and secular scientists seem to bind themselves to an archaic and unscientific concept of time. Like the ignorant masses in Medieval times, both seem to believe that a trillion years and a half a nanosecond are Page 1951
somehow different amounts of time. They are not! Both a trillion years and a half a nanosecond are exactly and precisely the same amount of time, as are all measured times in the material space-time continuum. And science has repeatedly proved this to be entirely true, beyond a shadow of a doubt.
David once wrote, “You are my God. My times are in Your hand” (Ps. 31:14-15a, WEB). David, and all the elect spirits who have ever known the true Creator God, know this reality about the times they endure on earth. From experience, David wrote down this discovery in this phenomenological language. The days of our lives are not only numbered by God, but all we perceive is predestined by God. All our troubles and joys in life on earth remain entirely under the decision-making power and will of God. All we perceive in this earthly life comes through Him alone. We have realized that the days of our lives are precisely ordained by God, and each moment of our lives is controlled by His hands, all for the purpose of guiding the thoughts of our spirits into a knowledge of His ways. His education of our spirits on this earth has been timed down to its last second, solely by God’s love.
The concept of earthly time originating from and carefully directed by the mind of God, solely to provide a perception of earthly life for the education of our spirits, which directly implies the full predestination of all earthly time, has been proved true by science, by applying inductive logic to empirical observations of His material creations. Through measurements perceived by bodily senses that are firmly subjected to perceptions of material space and time, humans have discovered that time is not what we perceive it to be. Rather, all times exist at the same time, and energy is limited by space, or reaches into space, along a fourth dimension or line of time. All material existence is bound by laws and constants, which govern energy and space along a line of time. Yet all this exists in one solitary moment, in one “now.” Thus, we will soon need to conclude that our perceptions of material existence have been designed and are now being controlled by some kind of almighty Mind who exists outside of our perceived material space-time continuum. Some kind of a Determiner of all constants and laws of nature, who exists in some kind of real time existing outside of the material space-time continuum, is causing us to perceive each single moment of earthly time. For the material space-time continuum does not actually “continue,” but is merely perceived to follow a path of time.
So our perception of passing time is just that, a perception. Each living entity has a perception controlled by a Controller, by an almighty Mind whom we cannot resist in any possible way, by a non-material Entity, by a Spirit who is not part of this space-time continuum, by a Creator without beginnings in any kind of time or space, by a non-material Cause of all that exists in our perceptions of the material universe. This also means the part of each living entity perceiving material space-time also must exist outside of material space-time. It means that our perceiving parts must also be non-material or spiritual, in substance and nature, just like the Controller who causes us to perceive material space-time. It also implies that the Spirit causing our spirits to perceive material space-time is causing this for His own personal reasons, because that controlling Spirit desires our spirits to learn something through our perceptions of material space-time. For there would be no other reason for a controlling Spirit, who is far more intelligent and wise than those He is controlling, to cause them to perceive all this in a way His creations cannot resist. This Spirit who grants us perceptions of the material universe has also granted some of our spirits self-awareness too, an ability to be aware of our own lives and spirits, as well as His creating Spirit. For some of whom He causes to perceive earthly life also possess enough limited wisdom to also cause the lives of their own beloved children to perceive certain things for their own good. Then some parents educate and predestine their own children’s lives as much as they can, solely because they love them. Therefore, seeing these things caused by the Controller of our perceptions, suggests that He must be like that Himself, that He is a Page 1952
Father and a very personal God, who is educating the spirits of His beloved children by granting each of their spirits an array of temporary perceptions of life in this material space-time continuum.
There is much more to this concept of the material space-time continuum that needs to be explored and discussed. But I am old and will not have the “time” to do that, because my spirit will soon have its own temporary perception of this material existence removed from it. But I do want to point out that many physicists are now asking these same questions about the implications of relativity, and some even conclude that the material universe is a hologram perceived by our totally undefined selves, while refusing to acknowledge that we must exist outside of material existence to be able to think a hologram of material existence is perceived by our material minds. Surely, if we are aware and perceiving material existence as a perception or hologram, and we also see how there are truly moral or spiritual reasons for our experiencing these perceptions, then we must conclude that our minds which perceive this hologram cannot be material, but are non-material. For there would be no purpose for creating our perceptions of a material existence, with all its struggles between love and hate, good and evil, right and wrong, meaning and meaninglessness, if we are just material entities.
But creation scientists and secular scientists do not seem to grasp the implications of realizing that all times in the material space-time continuum are one moment, one “now,” nor that our perceptions of this “now” simply must exist completely outside of this material space-time continuum. In other words, none seem to comprehend that all the times of all lives, all in the material existence perceived by our lives, is a static timeline of a specific distance, with a beginning and an end, which is being perceived by our non-material minds for the purpose of teaching us non-material truths. Our non-material spirits must be predestined to receive those perceptions of material existence in order to learn spiritual principles. And our perceptions must originate from a non-material Spirit, a Creator God. So now, since secular scientists are too blindly biased to acknowledge the existence of anything outside of their lusty and greedy little material lives, let me address creations scientists who will at least say there can be non-material spirits and a Creator God. Now let me ask the creation scientists why they all seem to believe the self-worshipping humanistic doctrines of Middle Platonism or Neoplatonism, the doctrines which are the foundational precepts of secular materialism and the reason why all the secular scientists remain so blindly biased that they cannot see spiritual realities.
That kind of Platonic humanism is a religion which defines human beings as gods who must worship themselves, like the Greek and Roman psychopaths did. That religion believes that a person can control one’s own destiny through one’s own god-like “free will,” by esteeming and serving one’s own self, as though oneself is one’s highest and most almighty saviour and god. Humanistic wanna-be gods believe they can shape themselves into whatever they want to be, over time. So they think the time they require to create their own destinies, therefore, must not be predestined. Otherwise, they could never be their own gods, never be able to create themselves, since the creation of their future selves would have been already be predetermined by the external Power who created their ends when He created their beginnings, in this material space-time continuum. And their ego-driven perceptions of themselves would be a mere delusion. If their perceptions of themselves, and all the rest of material existence, is merely being moved along a predetermined timeline, and they are not controlling their own movements along the timelines they created for themselves, it means that they are not gods who can shape themselves into whatever they want to be. Thus, the Platonic humanists cannot tolerate the implications of predestination, which both God’s Word and true science teach.
Empirical observations of God’s creations and inductive logic indicate that all the past and all the future of the entire material space-time continuum were created at once, as one singular “now.” So this means that our time on earth, or rather our perceptions of our times in this material space-time Page 1953
continuum, are for learning purposes, to teach something to our eternal spirits. Just as God’s Word tells us, the few moments of the lives of our non-material spirits should be spent in perceiving what God predestined us to see in this very real material existence. For it is very real, since it comes from the mind of the very real God, who makes all realities. On earth, the Spirit of God teaches and trains our spirits to acknowledge and repent into spiritual truths, to learn about love and hate, right and wrong, good and evil. We are not given time on earth so we can shape ourselves and create our own destinies. And, although some spirits are “always learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth” (II Tim. 3:7, WEB), there are also some who will come to a knowledge of the truth. But the spirits who do learn some truth are not in control of what they learn, and each of their perceived times are different. Some see, learn and grasp in a given time that others can only learn in twice that amount of time, and some souls will never be capable of seeing, learning or grasping any real truths.
Consequently, an hour to one person is not equivalent to an hour for another person. In fact, since it is God who controls our perceptions in time—that is, all that our spirits might see, learn and grasp during each hour that He allows us to perceive things in this material space-time continuum—we must then conclude that all the times experienced by all are relative to what the mind of God chooses each individual to perceive as an hour. Also, this perceived “length” of an hour can change at any time within our lives. An hour can be very long or very short, according to the way God allows our spirits to perceive them. Likewise, an hour perceived by the spirit of one dog may be completely different than an hour perceived by the spirit of another dog, and the spirits of all living creatures, including plants, would experience the hours of their lives in widely varied ways. And all the minds of animals we can communicate with all perceive all their times as simply one “now.” Now, as God moves the perceptions of our spirits along the timeline of His very real material creation, He grants the earthly bodies the ability to interact with one another, in the confines of perceived time, and with the bodies of animals and plants. But, in reality, all of those interactions between bodies are between spirits, but those spirits can only interact through the time, space and energy of all the other bodies they perceive in the material universe according to God’s will, in times that vary in length for all.
So now I ask the creations scientists, who say each day of the creation week is exactly 24 hours of earthly time: “How then do you define an hour or a day, or all time in this material universe?” If
“one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day” (II Pet. 3:8), and we are all spirits like our Lord and God, then how long is a day? And, clearly, when Peter wrote this, he was not referring to precisely a thousand years, but was actually referring to any lengthy perception of time in this material space-time continuum. An earthly day “with the Lord,” that is, in the mind of the Creator Spirit, or in the mind of a created spirit, can be the same as a million, billion or trillion earthly years. What Peter actually indicated here is that God’s Spirit and, by extension, all spirits, exist outside of earthly time, and all earthly time is one present moment of a “now.” So how can a creation scientist interpret an ancient writer’s words in the first chapter of Genesis in the way they do, since all those days were “with the Lord”? Clearly the spirit of that prophet recorded a vision given to him by God, to grant him with a visual representation of the origins of material existence.
But he described that vision phenomenologically, since he knew none of our scientific descriptors.
So it seems impossible that the prophet who wrote the first chapter of Genesis truly meant that God created matter, energy, space and time in literally six 24-hour days. And stating that the grammatical use of the clause, “there was evening and there was morning,” always refers to earthly perceptions of 24-hour days in other biblical texts, means absolutely nothing. For this prophet was describing his vision phenomenologically, and its meaning is in God’s mind. Since God granted this prophet a vision of creation events occurring in six 24-hour days, it was God causing those perceptions of all Page 1954
of those creation days. And all those days were “with the Lord.” And a day with the Creator’s Spirit can be any length of time, anything from a thousand years to 14 billions years, and is all one “now.”
Later, we will look at how the prophet, from the sensory and phenomenological perspective in which he wrote down his vision or dream, described the way in which God created the heavens and the earth in six days and six nights. But, for now, let us focus on debunking the Greco-Roman perception of time, derived from humanistic religious philosophies. For it is a foolish, superstitious, unscientific and unbiblical view which distorts and corrupts perceptions of true reality in the minds of scientists.
Do creations scientists truly believe the words which the Spirit of God caused His faithful servants to write in human languages for our benefit? Or are they cherry picking what they want to believe from the Bible, then disregarding the rest, and even editing His Word to support their own preconceived and thoroughly humanistic views? And, as scientists, do they even believe that God wrote His truths, as well as information about His own core attributes, into His physical and spiritual creations, then enabled His elect human creations to study His creations in ways that allow them to discover those truths about God and His ways, through empirical observations and by applying inductive logic, through the kind of reasoning He granted to His elect children, so they might rightly judge matters of life and faith, with the kind of thinking He is teaching and training our spirits to apply, so that we might correctly discern between good and evil, so we might learn to become like Him and eventually conform into His loving and just image? In other words, I am asking, do creation scientists truly believe in either the Scriptures or true science, or are they deluded by lies from Satan’s world order?
Again, let us look at how God and true science both agree. Science tells us that all time is a matter of perspective, and each one’s perception of the flow of time is relative to one’s own self-awareness. So this means time does not actually flow, but is simply a dimension which defines or presents all the movements or functioning of past and future of energy within space. All past and future events of energy moving in space rest like a string of contiguous separate creations upon a static fourth dimension of time, like sequential snapshots strung on a clothesline. This also means that all times exist as one time, since all events exist in different arrays along the axis of that fourth dimension.
So we perceive whatever God wants us to perceive along that line of time, even our own material bodies made of energy moving in space, through events which are hanging like a series of three-dimensional snapshots along a segment of the timeline. And this is why some we can sit around a table and perceive others who exist in different times, who have been moved into different places on the timeline, but are granted perceptions that intercept with our perceptions of events on the timeline.
For a person who travelled through space at incredible speeds, and therefore exists several seconds in the past, can return to the earth, see a friend who has never travelled, a friend who therefore exists several seconds in the future, then hug and talk to that friend in real time, without any delay in the movements or sounds of either earthly bodies. For the spirits of both self-aware humans exist in different times at the same real time, and the perceptions of their spirits remain synchronized by the will of Creator who causes their spirits to perceive the same events at the same time. Thus, God has shifted both of the spirits of those two friends along the static timeline, to synchronize them, even in a way that neither can escape. Neither can be in two times at the same time, but the God who is synchronizing their perceptions of time must be in all times at the same time, or else He would not be able to synchronize their perceptions of time. So space, along with all the energy moving through it or binding together to form matter existing along the line of time, is one static existence with four dimensions, where all four dimensions must have been created at one moment of real time, where that real time is completely relative to the thoughts and will of God. Literally all of the one existence Page 1955
must be relative to something else which manipulates our perceptions of it, to a Creator existing outside of it. And I repeat, the only way we all can possibly perceive these four dimensions is also from outside of this space-time continuum. The self-awareness we possess must exist outside of the material space-time continuum. We are caused to perceive energy and matter in space, as it hangs on the line of time. What we know to be ourselves must be non-material, that is spiritual. We are spirits.
Then the Creator and Controller of our perceptions, who also exists outside of the static material existence, must be a far greater non-material entity, a Spirit with a far more powerful mind and will, since He is moving each of our spirits’ perceptions along the fourth dimension of time, and often also shifting our perceptions back and forth within that timeline. God alone is causing each of us to perceive each one’s own unique place along the fourth dimension of time, and each one’s unique rate of perceiving movement from past to future along the timeline. Therefore, science is suggesting that our earthly bodies, and all existing material entities, are placed along a static axis of time by the power and will of a great Spirit. In other words, since all time exists in one “now,” and since we are moved along a line of time by a greater Spirit’s will, all is predestined. So what does the Bible say about this? Does the Bible teach the humanistic Roman interpretations of Aristotle’s writings found in Middle Platonism and Neoplatonism? Or does God’s Word actually teach about predestination?
Well, I once drew up a decision matrix with four columns: (1) Scriptures, in their original languages, which imply the Platonic doctrines of “free will,” but not with any certainty; (2) Scriptures which clearly and directly teach the Platonic doctrines of “free will”; (3) Scriptures which clearly and directly teach predestination (which I discovered taught that this was for the purpose of teaching and training the spirits of the Father’s children about Him and His ways); and (4) Scriptures which imply predestination, but not with certainty. And I was biased against the doctrines of predestination. For I was raised in Roman Catholic and evangelical churches. So I was very eager to prove the doctrines of “free will.” Thus, the first Scriptures I confidently placed on the decision matrix were those in column 2, the Scriptures which my churches cited as proof texts for their doctrines of “free will.”
Next, I placed the Scriptures used as proof texts for predestination in column 3. And a loveless and dead Calvinistic church, which I thought had become so cruel and Pharisaic because they believed in the doctrines of predestination, provided the proof texts I put in column 3. Then I read through the entire Bible to complete this topical Bible study, pulling out texts that suggested or proved one or the other doctrine, and put each of those texts in one of the four columns, as I tried to remain objective.
After analyzing all these texts in their original languages, while applying the local, global and historical contexts of each, and while praying for a right understanding, all the texts in column 2
began to move to columns 1, 4 or even 3. After some time, literally all the texts disappeared from column 2. Not one single text in the entire Bible proved the doctrines of “free will,” then almost all the “maybe” texts from column 1 disappeared as well. And the few left in column 1 were very weak.
At the same time, the Scriptures in column 3 proved to be indisputable, rock solid. Furthermore, more and more texts were added to column 3 and column 4, as I read through the Scriptures. So, after a few months, I was forced to admit that God did indeed teach predestination in His Word.
This was shocking to me, and shattered my entire comfortable theological framework. Previously, I was a staunch defender of the Semi-Pelagian theology held by my evangelical and Catholic family and friends. And this began a very long journey into a reassessment of the Scriptures. I began to see and understand biblical teachings in a whole new way. All the teachings of Jesus, everything in both the Old and New Covenant Scriptures began to fit together. All became more consistent and utterly harmonious. I began to question all that I previously believed, and saw how my views contradicted one another in irreconcilable ways. Also, I began to realize that the predestination in the Scriptures Page 1956
was absolutely nothing like the determinism or fatalism taught by other Greco-Roman Platonists. In fact, especially in the New Testament, the teachings of the apostles, and John in particular, radically opposed all of the foundational and essential doctrines of Platonism. Yet that Middle Platonism and Neoplatonism were so critical to both the Catholic and evangelical churches that absolutely none of their teachings and internal structures could possibly stand without them. Consequently, my faith in God and His Word grew exponentially after this, while my faith in the doctrines taught by Catholic and evangelical churches utterly collapsed, along with their acceptance and relationships with me.
Over the years, I have dropped more and more of my Semi-Pelagian teachings, which somehow all related to their Platonic doctrines of “free will.” And I have rejected many other Roman humanistic doctrines too, since the more rational and consistent teachings of God’s Word crushed them to dust.
On the other hand, I did not join that cold, dead, loveless Calvinistic church either, since they were just as humanistic as the Roman Catholics and evangelicals. Those Calvinists worshipped human gods, even vile little dictators chosen by the devil himself, then persecuted or drove away any who dared to even attempt to worship the real God in their spirits and in truth. The very last thing that particular Calvinistic church wanted was to choose the loving, just, equitable, honest elders whom God chose for His people, whom God’s Holy Spirit had taught and trained to humbly serve His creations. They literally excommunicated every loving soul from their church, loudly, publicly and in the most pretentiously “official” way they could. Nevertheless, that wicked Calvinistic church was partially right about one thing. God’s Word does teach predestination. However, the loving kind of predestination taught in God’s Word is not the loveless kind they taught. On the contrary, the kind of predestination taught in the Scriptures is so loving and family oriented that it puts us all to shame.
So, from the very beginning, God told His faithful servants, all that they were ready to hear about the predestination of the material space-time continuum, how material existence coexists within a far more real non-material or spiritual space-time continuum. And this binding material perception, which all humans on earth experience, exists solely to prepare elect spirits for another spiritual realm, which is also entirely relative to the thoughts and will of God. Yet most humans practise to ignore spiritual reality, while the spirits of life in all plants and animals utterly and solely focus upon that spiritual existence. “For the creation waits with eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. For the creation was subjected to vanity [ματαιότης, “e mptiness , purpose
lessness ,” BDAG3] not of
its own will, but because of Him who subjected it, [yet now the spirits of all living entities in this empty material creation wait] in hope that the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of decay into the liberty of the glory of the children of God [that is, into the permanent and eternal spiritual realm of God’s home]. For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now” (Rom. 8:19-22, WEB). Clearly, the spirits of all living creations, who each have a mind and a self-awareness that possesses its own “eager expectation,” its “own will,” and its own “hope,” will enter God’s spiritual and eternal spiritual space-time continuum together with God’s elect “children.”
Of course, the above Scripture is speaking about living creations, about creations which possess a mind and will of a spirit of life created by God. Yet all those sinless spirits of plants and animals dwell in a state of being “subjected to emptiness and purposelessness” on earth, in contrast to their own future eternal existence in God’s spiritual realm of heaven with His “children,” after their spirits also cease to be bound to earthly perceptions through bodies of material flesh. In other words, the physical bodies of all living organisms do not need to live in bodies of flesh before they will dwell in heaven, because they all have spirits which were created to eternally exist in heaven, and all will automatically go to heaven immediately after their perceptions of earthly existence end. But all those Page 1957
spirits of living organisms were subjected to perceptions of material existence by God’s will, solely because God ordained this for a purpose, for purpose God dedicated solely for all His “children.”
So God, from the very beginning, ordained that all living flesh shall die, so their eternal spirits may
“be delivered from the bondage of decay into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.” And literally all the eternal spirits in non-human creations will return to the spiritual realm of heaven. Yet, while dwelling on this earth, they serve a purpose, which is for “the children of God,” a purpose that helped form all the environments, foods and homes for those non-human souls, and ultimately for the humans which God placed on this earth, for both the elect and non-elect. But God put the spirits of living organisms on earth especially to prepare and maintain the earth for His “children,” for the elect. Also, in other Scriptures, we find that non-human organisms were put on earth to act out and illustrate principles of good and evil, principles which only human spirits can learn, experientially.
So no spirits of self-aware animals actually want to be trapped in perceptions of earthly life, and the spirits of all living organisms “eagerly anticipate” (ἀποκαραδοκία) and “wait for the manifestation destined for the heirs of God” (τὴν ἀποκάλυψιν τῶν υἱῶν τοῦ θεοῦ ἀπεκδέχεται, where τῶν υἱῶν, in context, would be a genitive of destination, indicating the purpose of the head noun, and υἱῶν would be gender indefinite, referring to the “heirs” of God, not just “sons”). Therefore, first, since both the Bible and science teach that living organisms existed on earth before humans, and this Scripture says that all non-human spirits eagerly wait to return to heaven, how can anyone logically conclude that the flesh of living organisms did not die before Adam and Eve sinned? Perhaps Adam and Eve, while their infantile spirits dwelt in their nursery called the Garden of Eden, only saw organisms like plants and insects die, those which they and the animals in the garden ate. And it is possible that, while in the garden, Adam and Eve never saw the deaths of any of the self-aware living organisms. However, outside the garden, death must have occurred for all the living organisms belonging to those spirits eagerly waiting to go home to heaven. Then, from the beginning, God also predestined that our own human bodies would die as well, since no spirits were meant to be forever bound by perceptions of material existence, which serve only temporary educational purpose for God’s “children.” Then all of this also implies something far more critical about the eduction of spirits belonging to God’s heirs.
Up to this day, “the whole creation groans and travails in pain” as they wait “for the manifestation destined for the heirs of God.” But what exactly is that manifestation? Well, this same chapter of Romans had previously defined this “manifestation” in some detail. It is a process which involves
“the Spirit of Him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwell[ing] in” His heirs, because “He who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to [His heirs’] mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in” them (Rom. 8:11, WEB). This process reveals God’s light of truth in them and through them, by the works of His Spirit upon their spirits. And the time of this manifestation came through a series of works done solely by God Himself, when He came to His heirs in a body of flesh:
• Through the works of our God Jesus on the cross, He reconciled the relationship between His sinning elect children and Himself. And He did this by paying the ransom demanded by their accuser, by a spirit called Satan, who took possession of them as sinners, who enslaved them through misinformation and delusions. Because Jesus paid for our lifetimes of sin, we were no longer sinners and Satan no longer had a right to own us. For our spirits were forgiven our entire lifetimes of sins on earth, could now approach the very face of God, and God could now fully restore His relationship with us. Jesus purchased us out of slavery, out of enforced lies, delusions and futile works for Satan’s kingdom, so we might bear fruits of love, joy, peace, true justice, equity and so on. We could begin a new lives, even our eternal destinies.
Page 1958
• This reconciliation with God then allowed His Spirit to dwell beside our spirits, so He might teach and train our spirits. And, by personally educating our spirits, God’s own Holy Spirit justifies His full payment for our lifetimes of sins, without aiding and abetting us in our sins.
For our sins, instigated by our easily manipulated minds and impulses of our flesh, will no longer be done by our spirits, when our spirits are fully educated by Him, thus justifying us.
• God also sacrificed His body of flesh to free us from the guilt and condemnation we deserved through our sins of the flesh. So now God’s Spirit can wake up our elect spirits, “so that the just and equitable deeds of the Law might be fulfilled in us, in those not walking according to the [thoughts of] the flesh, but rather according to [the thoughts] of the human spirit” (ἵνα τὸ
δικαίωμα τοῦ νόμου πληρωθῇ ἐν ἡμῖν τοῖς μὴ κατὰ σάρκα περιπατοῦσιν ἀλλὰ κατὰ πνεῦμα, Rom. 8:4), as we are “led and carried by the Spirit of God” (πνεύματι θεοῦ ἄγονται), because elect spirits are “heirs of God” (υἱοί ... θεοῦ), since we are His Spirit’s children (Rom. 8:14).
• So the perceptions of all living entities on earth, which living organisms cannot escape, and our own perceptions, exist for a purpose, for the “manifestation” of salvation for the elect, for the completion of their education as infantile spirits on earth, so His heirs can experientially discern between good and evil, between what is entirely God’s will and what is not entirely God’s will. And “the whole creation groans and travails in pain,” including all of us, for this ultimate purpose. Then even those sinless spirits of non-human organisms will gain a greater love and respect for God after being exposed to the presence of both good and evil upon this temporary earth. Those other organisms may not learn to judge, but will learn to love better.
• All the spirits of all non-human living organisms will share the good opinion (glory) and loving companionship of God in His spiritual home, together with God’s children. And the promise of eternal life for non-human living organisms is unconditional and automatic. Only human spirits will be judged on a final day and, therefore, may or may not receive a home in heaven. Thus, going to the home of the Creator God is conditional for humans, but based on only one condition. If a human spirit is born to love, as an heir of the God who is love, then that spirit will go to heaven. But, if a human spirit is born of the loveless spirit of Satan, it will go to the home of its hellish father. For God gave Satan and his children a home, where they can create that place into whatever they will it to be. And they only ever desire darkness.
• For His heirs, who He created and chose before the world began, in His mind that defines all times on earth and in heaven, God must fully paid for all their sins and must unconditionally guarantee that they will become complete and perfect before they enter His utterly holy and loving home. Fortunately for us, God did literally all the works necessary to fulfill these conditions, for literally all of His chosen children. First, all His elect were born with spirits that are able to repent into the truth, and able to learn to love in a just, equitable and God-like way, since He created all their spirits in His image. Then our God came in a sinless body of human flesh to die on behalf of all the sinners whom He named, and He named literally all of the elect who ever existed or ever would exist in all earthly time, all at once. Then He sent them His Holy Spirit to begin the teaching and training of their spirits, even while they dwelt within their perceptions of earthly existence. And, after He shall remove those perceptions of material existence, He will also take them to the gates of heaven to complete the perfecting of their spirits, to make them all entirely fit to enter heaven. So only the human spirits whom God allowed Satan to create and trap in perceptions of material existence will not be brought into God’s home of heaven, because, like their hellish father, they all desire a home in hell.
Page 1959
• Consequently, the salvation of the elect into heaven will not be based on conditions that are only 99% God’s works and 1% the works of His elect. Rather, 100% of those conditions will be worked by God, and by Him alone. All that His elect heirs of heaven will do is respond to His teaching and training, according to the propensities and wills which He created in their spirits, in the way that their heavenly Father “genetically” and “environmentally” conditioned them to respond. So, when we read that we will be saved into heaven, “if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified with Him” (Rom. 8:17, WEB), we do not attempt to emulate His suffering through His beatings and crucifixion. Rather, we simply practise all the loving and just ways that His Holy Spirit teaches to our spirits, in joy and with great inner satisfaction, according to the wills and propensities He created in our spirits. Then there will be enough suffering, ending in death, for us all to endure, without making this for ourselves.
• In the end, “We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brothers”
(Rom. 8:28-29, WEB). And this also applies to the non-human spirits of life in all the other organisms on earth. They too will love God more by the time He removes their binding to their own perceptions of this material existence, and they too will be freed into God’s bright and loving home in the far more real spiritual realm, which exists inside and all around every living entity. But, if we remain shallow and trapped in the delusions of humanism, without any real understanding of spiritual and physical times and perceptions, focusing solely upon religious distractions of physical rules and traditions, our spirits will never enter the Sabbath rest of God, never realize “that all things work together for good for those who love God.”
Now the Greek verb translated as “to predestine” in the Scriptures is προορίζω (“decide upon beforehand, predetermine,” BDAG3). In secular use, it can refer to something as simple as a farmer fencing in livestock, to predetermine where they will stay or go. But, in the Scriptures, whenever this verb relates to the predestination of human lives, God, not man, is always the subject performing the action of predestining all existence. Then Scriptures also say the utterly omnipotent and omniscient God created and maintains all of the physical and spiritual existence. Thus, when God created each of our spirits, He fashioned the wills and attributes of the minds of our spirits, as well as our minds of flesh. Consequently, God’s predetermining of where we will come and go, and all other matters of life, indicates a total and complete predestination of all our thoughts, actions and reactions to all else He has predestined. It indicates a totally immersive teaching and training time for our eternal spirits.
By intentionally causing and controlling all the earthly experiences of each human spirit throughout history, in precisely the way He chose from the beginning (by creating all material time to exist as one static moment), God teaches, trains and shapes the will of each human spirit. This is what we are to comprehend from the Scriptures, especially from the teachings of Jesus. Thus, the Bible does not allow anyone to believe both its teachings and the Platonic doctrines of “free will.” We must choose to believe one or the other, and even that choice will be caused by what God caused to exist in our minds. And, to blindly and maliciously believe in the humanistic doctrines of “free will,” which are used to justify hierarchical systems consisting of “superiors” and “inferiors,” which then enables the illicitly elite to exploit, enslave and murder their own duped siblings in the family of humankind, is utterly contrary to everything taught in the Bible, as wells as all that true science proves through its empirical observations and inductive logic. Clearly, we do not possess minds that are able to create and shape ourselves through some kind of magic “free wills.” To any honest objective observer, it is Page 1960
obvious that literally all human minds of flesh, as well as all minds of all spirits, are entirely shaped by externals which a Creator rules over, by environments and by the shaped wills of our educators.
What does all this mean? Since an external and non-material Mind created all material space and time as one moment of time and, therefore, as one extremely small space that can all be traversed in one moment of that Mind’s own spiritual time, then all the energy and matter is actually His own personal power, which His Spirit causes our spirits to perceive. God makes all our perceptions of this space-time continuum. Thus, it is all predestined. In reality, all scientific empirical observations, interpreted solely through inductive logic (and without self-serving speculations) agree with these thoroughly biblical teachings about predestination. God predetermines human lives. And, if our lives are all predestined, then God must also predestine the lives of all other living organisms as well as all the causes and effects produced by inorganic substances, even everything that affects us. Even all that humans see when they peer into the seemingly infinite outer space is predestined, since even that affects our lives. So all the times of all living organisms are predestined times, as well as all the times of all inorganic substances, even in the parts of the universe we cannot yet see, because all directly or indirectly affects the spirits whom the Creator’s mind calls His elect, destined for life in His eternal home in His spiritual realm. All the spirits of humans, angels, animals, plants and other living organisms, possibly even on other planets, experience very real perceptions of predestined life, so all those spirits can learn very real spiritual lessons to prepare all for eternal spiritual lives.
All the apostles understood this matter of God’s predestination, to some extent, although John and Paul searched more deeply into it, then explained that this predestination was for the purpose of teaching and training eternal spirits of all kinds. Both of these apostles also taught that God’s temporary material existence had been especially created for the education of elect human spirits who were created from God’s “breath,” from within His own Spirit, and made in His own image. But Paul described these teachings from the Holy Spirit of our God Jesus in the most scientific ways.
To Paul, confidence in the thoughts and strength of human flesh—such as hoping to be happier by deceiving or stealing from God’s creations in order to gain more money and power, or, worse yet, hoping to gain a fake spiritual salvation through delusions requiring the practise of entirely physical rituals and traditions—was stupid. That was far more offensive and odious to him than rubbish filled with human excrements. So he cast off all that. Rather than placing confident faith in himself and in other human gods, as the secular and Jewish humanists do, Paul focused on building up spiritual treasures for his loved ones and himself. All Paul desired was more gain for elect spirits on earth.
Paul’s spirit awoke, and desired to learn ever more of God’s eternal spiritual and useful truths during his God-given life, all that bears the spiritual fruits of love, joy, peace and every aspect of God-like, equitable justice for all. To him, God granted a spirit life on earth through unearned and undeserved grace alone, and all of this grace should be used solely for the education of one’s spirit by our God, by our Teacher, Jesus. Thus, although Paul taught predestination, and that our spirits can only dimly perceive the material space-time continuum, he considered those perceptions of life on earth to be extremely valuable and real, a gift of God through His love for us. And to live is Christ. Earthly experiences are extremely valuable blessings for spirits. Jesus wants our spirits to apprentice with Him, to build up our skills through His teaching and training during our lives on earth. But, when our predestined perceptions end, when God removes our spirits from the bondage to the perceptions of this flesh, we will receive even greater gain, the plenary completing and perfecting of our spirits, so we might enter our far more real and permanent homes, to dwell beside the Father and Brother of our spirits. So Paul taught scientific doctrines of predestination, but for entirely spiritual purposes: Page 1961
• Paul wrote: “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us w
ith every spiritual bl
essing in the heavenly places in Christ ; even as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, [for the purpose] that we would be holy and without defect be
fore Him in love ; having predestined us for adoption as children through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His desire, to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He freely bestowed favour on us in the Beloved [i.e., the “Beloved” is Jesus], in whom we have our redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace, which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, making known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purpo
sed in Him to an
administration of the fullness of the times , to sum up all things in
Christ, the things in the heavens, and the things on the earth, in Him ” (Eph. 1:3-14, WEB).
First, Paul speaks about the heavenly Father, who counsels and provides for His children, to receive our blessings (εὐλογητός), the kinds of blessings that involve freely willed praise, as well as glad favours worked for Him. This implies that our spirits are bound to an education through our material perceptions, and that the wills of our spirits freely respond to the works of God during our predestined lives on earth. So our spirits have a free will, but as an effect of all that God created our spirits to be and now causes our spirits to perceive. God’s purpose is also to bless us in the same way we bless Him, through His words and favours worked for us. But His words and favours are solely for our spirits, since all from Him is found “in every spiritual blessing” (ἐν πάσῃ εὐλογίᾳ πνευματικῇ). God also grants us the material blessings we need to live in our flesh. So God’s providence for our flesh upon His earthly kingdom, and the distribution of His providence, really has nothing to do with Satan’s invention of money. Rather, that devil uses his money to steal God’s providence from us, to purchase self-indulgences for his non-elect children, and at the expense of God’s other creations. God does not grant us Satan’s money to provide for our spiritual and physical needs. Rather, God is a Spirit, who only grants us that which ultimately serves His purposes of blessing our spirits.
Here we also see that “every” blessing from God, His “every” favour and His “every” word of counsel, does good for us “in the heavenly places” (ἐν τοῖς ἐπουρανίοις), that is, in the spiritual space-time continuum to which our spirits belong, and in which our spirits now
dwell, whether or not our minds of flesh perceive this reality. And all of these favours and words of counsel from God are also “in the Messiah” (ἐν Χριστῷ), who now dwells in that spiritual realm, and in us on earth. All that we receive from God, for the eternal benefit of our spirits, exists in the sphere of our Messiah’s relationship with us. The Holy Spirit of Jesus counsels and educates our spirits for our eternal lives at home, and does so within heaven.
Paul also wrote about God’s purpose for granting us temporary perceptions of life on earth, these experiences of His temporary material space-time continuum, in which He reveals both a semblance of His home in heaven as well as a semblance of hell’s darkness of spiritual lies and delusions, both at the same time. God told Paul this. His purpose was “that we would be holy and without defect before Him in love; having predestined us for adoption as children.”
God “predestined” all the elect to become His children, where all are “predestined” become like His “sons” who will inherit His kingdom (υἱοθεσίαν). God has bound His children to the perceptions of material space-time for a reason, so that this experience will to teach and train our spirits to be “holy,” meaning “set apart for God’s purposes alone,” and “without defect before Him,” that is, after His teaching and training for all His repenting elect is completed to Page 1962
perfection on the final day. Furthermore, all this holiness and perfecting will reside within the sphere of “love,” because the quintessential nature of God is His kind of just, equitable, wise and sacrificial love. This is what His children inherit from Him. His children learn to love all the other eternal spirits He created for His home in heaven, in the same way He loves them all, and expresses His love by serving all His creations. All elect are learning to love and serve their Father’s creations in the same way He does. This is God’s goal for all our lives.
Paul also told us how we obtain this goal of God for our lives, how we achieve the joy and satisfaction of our spirits, the fulfilling of our inherent desires which our Father etched into the minds of our spirits at the very beginning of earthly time. Awakened elect spirits gain all this “through Jesus the Messiah,” who is God working all this “to Himself.” Jesus, our God who walked among us in a body of flesh, has “freely bestowed favour on us.” This is why we love Jesus, because it is from Him that we receive the redemption of our lives from the bullying lovers of money and power in Satan’s world order, who are constantly trying to trap us in their snares and enslave us. Jesus did this through His blood, so our flesh could die with His flesh to Satan’s world order, so the forgiveness of our trespasses would fully reconcile the relationships of our spirits with His Holy Spirit. Jesus did all this, not us, not our rituals done by our perceived bodies of flesh. And Jesus gave us this salvation through grace alone.
This unmerited, unearned grace of God is granted to our eternal elect spirits throughout our entire lives on earth, then throughout a longer judgment day, and on into an everlasting life which has no finite line of time. So this grace should be praised. We give His grace a certain kind of good opinion that is called “glory.” And we reserve this kind of glory for Him alone, since no human wanna-be god, nor any of their demon parents, deserves this worshipping kind of glory, with praise and favours granted willingly by our spirits. No matter how many times they claim to have successfully stolen us from God, or tell us how Satan’s invention of money has purchased our lives which belong to God alone, we do not believe them. For we know Jesus’ blood paid the price which that devil’s accusations demanded, and none has ever had any right to own elect sinners, nor anything else, except God. None but our Creator truly owns all existence, even Satan. Nothing in Satan’s world order, certainly not his delusions of money and power, can shackle us in that fallen angel’s service. Nor will we worship his heirs, by esteeming and serving those psychopaths. Rather, in Jesus, we will nullify all their works.
Our spirits are now bound in the earthly perceptions of our bodily lives, and experience time here on earth. But our spirits more substantially exist in another realm, with a different kind of time and space, in “spiritual places” (ἐπουράνιος, in context, means, “in heaven”), in the same place where our Messiah Jesus dwells. For Jesus has now cast off the binding of His own perceptions of His own material creations. But here Paul, who saw the Messiah descend from heaven before his own eyes of flesh, and had been taken up into the third heaven at one time, said God “chose us in Him before the foundation of the world.” And, if He chose elect souls even before He created the material heavens and earth, we must have existed in some form before time began in the material space-time continuum. So, at the very least, we had existed in God’s mind, as irreversible intentions to create us, at a spiritual time before God created the first day on earth, that is, before the very beginning of material time and space.
But the Creator Spirit cannot have any intentions that are not carried out in full, and cannot think mere partial thoughts. Thus, complete eternal and predestined forms of our spirits, with all the attributes of our minds and wills, were entirely completed by His Spirit before He later Page 1963
created material space-time. And our spirits actually must be still dwelling in heaven, in the spiritual space-time continuum, as we experience these perceptions of a very real earthly life.
We receive “spiritual blessings in heaven,” where our spirits actually dwell. This is how God’s salvation through grace involves His “wisdom and prudence” abounding toward us, as He is “making known to us the hidden matters of His will.” That is, the Spirit of our God Jesus is right beside us, together with our spirits in heaven, revealing all we need to know about serving the more real living creatures in heaven, together with Him. And He wants to do this for us. It is “His will” and His “good pleasure.” Then our salvation into His kind of loving wisdom and righteousness was “purposed in Him to an administration of the fullness of the times.” God is causing and administering both times, in heaven’s time and in our perception of material time. Each elect spirit’s perception is managed by God at some time along the static fourth dimension of material time, in either what we perceive to be the past or future, although both the past and future are one time, one moment of “now” in God. For all of material time itself, as well as each of our personal perceptions of material time, have both a beginning and an end, all “purposed in Him,” all relative to God’s mind and created for His personal purposes. Therefore, “to sum up” or summarize in conclusion, all existence in the spiritual space-time continuum of heaven, which has no end, works “in Christ” together with all existence in the material space-time continuum, which will end. Both kinds of times are made real by His power and serve His purposes. Thus, logically, our temporary lives on earth exist solely to produce His desired eternal effects upon our spirits, now in His spiritual realm.
So material time is a thin straight line with a beginning and an end, and all existence in the other three dimensions only seem to be moving, but each movement is a static event on the timeline, existing together with all the other static events at the same time, all at once on that one predestined timeline. And a non-material Creator, existing apart from all times, a Spirit in non-material or spiritual places, appointed material time to be a specific length, a line on which the other three dimensions exist for a purpose. A spiritual Creator in a spiritual space-time continuum created the temporary material space-time continuum (or perceptions of it) to impart “spiritual blessing in the heavenly places.” But spiritual blessings are for non-material or spiritual beings. So a Creator Spirit blesses or enhances spirits through their temporary perceptions of material existence, which He causes them to perceive. And those spiritual blessings, acquired through temporary material perceptions, involve spiritual knowledge and skills which enhance the lives of spirits who receive those blessings, and shall also exist in the never-ending spiritual places where their parent Spirit dwells. Then it is those “spiritual blessing in the heavenly places” which this apostle also calls the salvation of our God Jesus.
• So this apostle, Paul, is reasoning that our salvation is worked by God upon our eternal spirits through our perceptions of material time. Thus, our salvation cannot be worked by us. For there is no such thing as a time we possess, a time which we have the ability to “administer”
and alter according to our own wills. Paul is declaring: “... for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast. For we are His workmanship, c reated in Christ Jesus for good works, which God
prepared before that we would walk in them” (Eph. 2:8-10, WEB). So our spirits, not our perceived bodies of flesh, are saved by the Creator’s totally unearned and unmerited “grace,”
entirely by God’s “workmanship.” Here Paul also emphasizes that salvation cannot be by works of human flesh so “that no one would boast.” This directly refutes the very core teachings of Middle Platonism, the doctrines taught throughout the Roman Empire in his day, Page 1964
as well as all that is still taught in all humanistic hierarchical systems today. For all humanists desire one thing above all else, pride or honour worked by their own choices through their
“free will,” to make themselves superior to others in either a physical or spiritual way. Their entire lives focus on becoming human gods, over time, through deeds performed entirely by their flesh through a fictitious “free will.” Because all want to be their own gods, they all reject what God’s Word and what the scientific study of God’s creation reveals about time.
This scientific and biblical reality takes all that boasting away from those wanna-be gods. In fact, our spirits are “saved through faith,” which Paul later defines as a disciple’s kind of faith, the kind that trusts in a Teacher. Our spirits are saved by trusting our divine Teacher, the Holy Spirit of Jesus. If our spirits trust what He says to our spirits, we will be saved by Him.
And all predestined elect human spirits were created with attributes which spontaneously do trust their God Jesus, and will hear Him on the final day too. Then Paul even tells us that this saving faith is “not of/from yourselves.” For God created each human spirit with its own unique will and desires. Then God always initiates contact with our spirits, not us, and our spirits never possess any power to force the almighty God to contact us. So we are forced to conclude that our Teacher, our God, must cause our spirits to trust in Him and in His words.
• Then Paul prayed: “For this cause, I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named [or, “out of whom every family line in the heavens and upon the earth is being named”], that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, that you m
ay be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inward man ; that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; to the end that you, being rooted and
g rounded in love , m
ay be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know Christ’s love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to t he power that works in us , to Him be the glory in the assembly [i.e., in this Ephesian church] and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen” (Eph. 3:14-21, WEB). First, Paul declares that “every family line”
(πᾶσα πατριὰ) “is being named” (present passive form of ὀνομάζω) “out of” or from a source (ἐξ οὗ), who is the heavenly Father. And he refers to literally all family lines, to all races and even all families of living entities, without any exceptions. Thus, he seems to include even the families of plants and animals. For he specifies that this includes all families “in the heavens and upon the earth” (ἐν οὐρανοῖς καὶ ἐπὶ γῆς), which means all dwelling on earth, in the atmosphere, in outer space and in the spiritual space-time continuum, where God lives.
Now, when he tells us that God is naming them all (as indicated by the common theological passive), Paul uses this verb (ὀνομάζω) as an ancient ecclesiastical term. So this naming refers to the act of taking responsibility for each family, and assigning a role for each one’s existence in each family. How does God do this? Here Paul prays that each member of this Ephesian church “might have been strengthened with power” (δυνάμει κραταιωθῆναι),
“through the Spirit of” the heavenly Father (διὰ τοῦ πνεύματος αὐτοῦ) “into the inner person” (εἰς τὸν ἔσω ἄνθρωπον), which means God’s power reaches into each spirit and soul.
It is God’s power which causes us to think and do all that comprises our earthly experiences.
Then Paul defines this power. It is “rooted and grounded in love.” The entire foundation, which stabilizes and supports that power, is God’s just kind of love. And only our spirits can either give or receive love, not our bodies of flesh. Then the purpose of this strengthening is
“to comprehend” all existence. So it is a strength of mind which Paul prays for all generations Page 1965
to gain. That is, he refers to the mind of the “inner person,” which is the mind of the spirit.
And recognizing the attributes of “the Messiah’s love” is the most critical knowledge to comprehend, since it “surpasses knowledge” of all other kinds, and is the foundation of all strengthening of our spirits’ minds, enabling us to be “filled with all the fullness of God.” So we perceive a very real material existence, which causes all God’s “power that works in us,”
teaching the minds of our spirits how to love, so we will love God’s creations as He does.
• Our perceptions of time, space, energy and matter in this material space-time continuum serve a purpose. But it is a spiritual purpose, used to educate and shape our eternal spirits.
God grants all the joys and sorrows experienced by our spirits through our temporary bodies of flesh, in our spirits’ predestined time of perceptions on earth, so these perceptions “might give [each of us] a spirit [possessing] wisdom and revelations in the knowledge of [Jesus]”
(Eph. 1:17, from: δώῃ ὑμῖν πνεῦμα σοφίας καὶ ἀποκαλύψεως ἐν ἐπιγνώσει αὐτοῦ). The purpose is for “the eyes of [our] hearts having been enlightened and remaining in that light, into [our] permanently obtained knowledge, which is the hope of His calling,” that is, His calling into the lives and destinies He created for us (Eph. 1:18). And, if the spirits in our hearts are enlightened in a way that remains and is “permanently obtained knowledge” (as indicated by the use of the perfect tense verbs, πεφωτισμένους and εἰδέναι), then we can assume that our earthly experiences are to teach our permanent spirits, and the minds of our spirits can never forget what we learn from God. We perceive earthly tragedies and blessings
“to be continuously renewed, for the spirit of [each one’s] mind, and to have clothed the new person in the ways of God, in the justice and holiness of truth” (Eph. 4:23-24). This is why Paul exhorts us, “Be therefore imitators of God, as beloved children. Walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave Himself up for us” (Eph. 5:1-2, WEB). The entire purpose of perceptions of life on earth is so that our eternal spirits will learn to be like our loving God.
• So Paul perceived God as a Spirit, existing outside of material time and space, who bound the spirits of many creations, both human and otherwise, to perceptions of a material space-time continuum. And the temporary material existence is almost as real as the eternal spiritual existence, because the material is created and maintained through the very real will and power of the Creator Spirit, just like all everlasting spiritual realities are. However, this temporary material existence is granted to spirits solely for spiritual purposes. Thus, all of the material creation has been created, maintained and worked by God for a benevolent reason.
• The purpose of God’s temporary material creations, where both spiritual good and spiritual evil would exist at the same time, and compete against one another at the same time, was so that God could perform educational works in and through the spirits whom He was teaching and training for their predestined eternal occupations in heaven. God is a Labourer who made all life in order to serve them. Consequently, all spirits destined for life in heaven will also be labourers like God, and those who work most closely with God will be the servants of the most other spirits, even of all, like God is. But the most complex labours require the longest and most thorough teaching and training. Thus, God provided earthly illustrations to clearly differentiate between His effective ways and all the ways which are not effective, so we will reject all the unjust ways, so our spirits hate all that is unloving and deadly. God placed the spirits of His heirs on earth, the elect human souls who will join His labours in His spiritual kingdom, to see and experience illustrations of both good and evil, through the perceptions of their temporary flesh. But God did not just cast them down here without a Teacher. Rather, God sent His own Holy Spirit to teach their spirits while they are here, and even walked Page 1966
among them in a human body, throughout a whole lifetime, to exemplify His ways on earth, where evil is allowed to oppose His ways. Then, after elect flesh dies, He will also use their observations and experiences of earthly life as educational examples, to perfect and complete their teaching and training, during a final judgment day at the gates of heaven. So it will only be after His heirs graduate on the last day that He will send them to their heavenly homes, so they all might begin their eternal labours, to serve all His eternal creations together with Him.
• Consequently, we should not vex too long and too hard about evil during our lives on earth, but only allow our spirits to hate that evil, then pray for God’s power to work through us, so we might overcome that spiritual evil with spiritual good. For we remember that this earth is just a temporary training ground for our spirits. As for the non-elect children of the devil, they will indeed murder, destroy lives and do every kind of evil possible. But we are to focus upon becoming educated, skilled, just, equitable and loving labourers, like God is. We are to simply nullify all of those works of the devil, to restore losses and rebuild what is destroyed, not seek revenge. Rather, we are to do all things in God’s name, to build up His kingdom on earth, so that His will is done here as it is in heaven. And there is no death in heaven. Since the Creator Spirit speaks to our elect spirits, and we hear Him clearly and precisely whenever He wakes up our spirits, we are to let Him serve as our personal Head Teacher and Lord, in all matters of life and faith. Then we are to labour beside Him for His kingdom on the earth.
• And none can defeat the almighty and wise God. If we consider that all material time and space are one “now” in God, who administers it all, who predestined all the future, even the victories and miracles He will choose to grant, we cannot worry about much. Our duty is simply to do and learn. All else is in Him. So we need not worry too much about how the psychopaths of this world, who all remain factious through selfish ambitions, who all war among themselves, seem to hold all power. Nor should we attempt to educate ourselves in their ways, such as how to lie, deceive and use the physical weapons of Satan’s world order.
For we cannot defeat Satan’s world order by becoming it, by fighting fire with more fire. Nor should we try to use that devil’s invention of money, designed solely to subjugate artificially designated “inferiors” to the wills of wanna-be elite human gods. Money is evil, and cannot defeat evil. Rather, the only way we will win any effective, enduring and eternally gratifying victories over Satan’s kingdom will be if we “overcome evil with good” (Rom. 12:21). And the only way we can do good is by learning what is good, then actually applying that good according to God’s timing and wise will. That is, we must be taught and guided by our God.
• Nor should we doubt that God is powerful enough to effectively teach and train His infantile, habitually sinful, foolish and inept elect children, who do not know their own right hands from their left. For our omnipotent and omniscient God is nothing like any of our frail and foolish human teachers. Our God is indeed able to cause His elect to do His will on earth as it is in heaven, to “overcome evil with good,” to nullify the works of the devil and build up His just, equitable and loving kingdom on earth. Yes, literally all of His elect have much to learn, and a long way to go before they reach perfection. But, on earth, He is able to teach each one enough that, when each works together with others, they can together function through the whole of His wisdom and power, to permanently overcome the extremely fragile and utterly foolish forces of evil. Then each of us can also be “confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in [us] will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ” (Phil. 1:6, WEB).
By the end of the judgment day, our God Jesus will finish His teaching and training in each and every individual elect human soul. Each one’s spirit will overflow with rejoicing in the Page 1967
parade descending on New Jerusalem, with inwardly leaping eagerness to begin the labours that their hearts always longed to fulfill for their heavenly Father, and for all His creations.
• This is why Paul prayed “that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment; so that you may approve the things that are excellent; that you may be sincere and without offence to the day of Christ; being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God” (Phil. 1:9-11, WEB). As you can see here, his focus was entirely on what the spirit learns, the knowledge and discernment which abounds through the spirit’s love, in spiritual righteousness or justice. Paul did not pray this so the members of this church would try to earn a piece of real estate in heaven through good works of the flesh, since the flesh is for learning not earning, and no one can owns anything in heaven. His heirs merely become stewards of God’s property in heaven. So Paul prayed this because our spirits need to learn “knowledge and all discernment,” so that our “love may abound yet more and more,” since God’s kind of just love is built on a foundation of truth alone. Elect teaching and judging elders pray this so their people will not approve of evil and evildoers, so they will not esteem and serve Satan and his servants, so they will not worship and vote for psychopaths like Hitler, Trump and other Roman-like dictators. Instead, the awakened elect of God, if their spirits learn to love and worship Him in truth, will only
“approve the things that are excellent” and will be “filled with the fruits of righteousness,” all worked through their love which is “sincere and without offence.” Then they will effectively nullify the devil’s works and build up God’s earthly kingdom, all for His “glory and praise.”
• Because our perceptions of material time and space are very real and for a very real purpose, we know that “to live is Christ, and to die is gain” (Phil. 1:21, WEB). To live in the flesh, as the Messiah’s disciples, produces much spiritual gain, even rich treasures of rare spiritual fruits that our spirits can bring with us into heaven, sweet fruits of love and truth, all that is cherished by God and ourselves. But to die is to go home, where all our earthly gain will be exponentially increased in value and productivity, where all truths fit together into a whole, and where our spirits no longer see God and one another dimly and myopically, but clearly and face to face. There our new spiritual bodies will grow more radiant each hour, until we shine like Jesus. The purpose of the loving Spirit, who created both the physical and spiritual, was to do a work in and through spirits on earth, to prepare them for a heavenly home. “For it is God who works in you both to will and to work, for His good pleasure” (Phil. 2:13, WEB).
• Paul saw that the earth and the material universe were created by a non-material Creator for spiritual purposes, to teach and train the spirits of all life, but especially the spirits of His elect human children whom He created in His image. So our perceptions of physical time, flowing linearly along a line, are very real, pressed upon us by the hand of an almighty God.
But those perceptions are also for even more real spiritual purposes. And this is why Paul rejected the philosophical and political traditions of both the humanistic Jews and Romans, which were all religious delusions accomplishing absolutely nothing useful for either the flesh or the spirit. This is why Paul declared: “Yes most certainly, and I count all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them nothing but refuse, that I may gain Christ and be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own, that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; that I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, becoming conformed to His death” (Phil. 3:8-10, WEB). To Paul, a “righteousness” sought by attempting to obey Page 1968
God’s Law through the mind and body of flesh alone, according to traditions invented by the minds of flesh in the infantile human sinners whom Jews worshipped as their highest gods, was as worthless and odious as the most foul garbage. For he desired only the workmanship of his only Head Teacher in his spirit, not a pretentious and worthless fake righteousness of his own. Our eternal spirits need “the righteousness which is from God,” the kind we gain if our elect spirits awaken and trust in the words and power of our only true Teacher. Only our God Jesus is able to conform our eternal spirits into His brightly lit image, even as He is now, after His death and resurrection, after He illustrated that death in the flesh is everlasting life.
So our God and His apostles taught that our earthly perceptions are predestined realities within an even greater spiritual reality, designed to teach our infantile spirits how to live in that grater reality.
According to both the Bible and scientific measurements, time in the material space-time continuum definitely is not a linear series of events which we can cause or manipulate through “free will.” What we perceive in this material universe also is not a meaningless illusion or a hologram. God created and shapes the wills of all the spirits bringing life to the energy in molecules of plants, animals and elect humans, because all spirits are predestined for eternal existence in their spiritual bodies which already exist in their home, which exists in the spiritual realm. All earthly times their spirits perceive will be strictly for their eternal spiritual maturity, so all might become what they were destined to be.
And each human spirit will mature into the likeness of that spirit’s father, who is either God or Satan.
So all spirits bound for heaven will highly value their earthly times, once the perceived pains of this earthly existence pass into the greater reality. After the death of their very real earthly perceptions, all will see and think clearly, and know that their experiences of good and evil were a gift from God for highly valuable spiritual purposes. And, while on earth at the same relative time, many awake elect human spirits destined for heaven also know that the loss of their earthly perceptions, in what we call death, will provide them with a far greater gain for their spirits. Only the spirits of Satan and his fallen angels, whom God has chained to perceptions of the material space-time continuum for a very short predestined spiritual time, hate and seek to destroy perceptions of earthly time, just as God knew they would. For those spirits were created loveless, and want to be their own gods at the expense of all other spirits in the loving, just kingdom of God. All demonic spirits maliciously seek to destroy perceptions of God’s purposes, mostly through delusions taught by their false religions, especially of humanism. For they loath the gain that spirits destined for heaven long and hope for.
Non-elect human spirits, whom the demons created from their own “breaths” in their own images, have exactly the same lovelessness and hatred as those demons. But those non-elect humans also perceive the material universe to be very real, since God’s almighty creating power causes those perceptions, and His power is very real, and irresistible. Now, of course, most non-elect human spirits are half asleep, and therefore remain relatively benign and stupid, nothing like the awake non-elect spirits of psychopaths. Likewise, most elect spirits are also half asleep, just going along for the ride of their own earthly perceptions. Nevertheless, elect human spirits should be aware that non-elect human spirits will be like their fathers and will do exactly the same things that demonic spirits do. That is, the non-elect will enthusiastically spread very loud, deadly and destructive delusions and lies to drown out the whisperings of God’s Holy Spirit to the spirits of the elect, while producing great volumes of smoke and smog to cloud out and darken the sight of the elects’ heavenly home.
Those non-elect demonic and human spirits know they will surely fail to steal God’s good inner works from His elect human spirits. For God is almighty and wise, and cannot be successfully resisted. And God ordained His elect to experience evil on earth, but also predestined a correcting, completing and perfecting judgment day to restore all earthly losses due to evil. So Jesus will use all Page 1969
the earthly pains of all elect spirits for educational purposes, in a way that provides all with an even greater spiritual gain. Still, non-elect spirits keep trying to delude, through their spirits’ inherently insane compulsion to thwart God and become their own gods. Thus, even non-elect perceptions of the material space-time continuum work together for the good of spirits who inherently love God.
Because all times in both the material and spiritual realms exist in the mind of the Creator Spirit, and all times are relative to the thoughts in His mind, the whole of the earth’s timeline is just one thought of God, and all of it exists at once, from its beginning to its end. Even the six days of creation events are one thought, one time, one moment in the mind of God. Then God distributes perceptions of this time into the spirits He created. The entire history of this material universe is only one thought, one
“moment” or one “now” within the mind of God. And God is a Spirit existing entirely outside of all times in both realms. Consequently, real time is spiritual, outside of material time. And all spirits who have been appointed to experience time on earth are already existing in the time of the spiritual reality, in a state that Jesus described as sleeping, even in what He called “the skies” above heaven, where only some elect spirits are awakened and sent to the gates of heaven in the spiritual realm, to be further taught and trained as they await a final judgment day and their descent into the mainland.
But the times in heaven are all relative to the thoughts in mind of God too, and not in a linear way, unlike our perceptions of material time. Yes, God can also make our perceptions of time pass linearly in the spiritual space-time continuum as well, whenever He chooses. Yet, since linear material time, together with the realities in its other three dimensions, are actually one brief moment existing within the mind of God, all times in heaven will be just one moment of spiritual time in God’s mind, and all the space, energy and matter existing in that moment of spiritual time will actually be God’s spiritual power causing it to exist along that timeline. Also, God’s mind has no problem in thinking about two or more times at the same time. And this is why we see God seemingly transporting the spirits of the prophets into the future or past times, to witness events in those times, as visions, and how those prophets could describe their perceptions of future events so accurately, albeit phenomenologically in their own human languages. It also explains how Jesus caused John’s spirit to hear the 24 elders with himself in heaven, one of whom seemed to be himself in a future time, because those elders consisted of the 12 sons of Jacob and 12 apostles (Rev. 4:2-4; 5:8-10; 11:16-17; 19:4-5; 21:12-14).
Archaeology, textual analysis and historical records are all either inconclusive or directly support the claims made in the Bible. No one has ever been able to prove that anything in the Bible is false or wrong, not historically nor through a scientific analysis of the phenomenological language in its prophecies. Yes, our Scriptures were written by extremely fallible sinners. But the almighty Spirit of God set their spirits apart, then taught, trained, humbled, purified and made their spirits honest. As God did all this, He revealed concepts to their spirits, directly or by unforgettable and vivid visions and dreams, then compelled them to write down those truths for us, while reminding their spirits about what their words might wrongly imply and thus “edited” what they were writing down. This is why those Scriptures are so perfectly true, when read in the contexts relevant to their true meanings.
Since God caused all the prophets and apostles to write all they wrote in the Bible, we call it God’s Word, not the words of men, and value it infinitely more than “philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the elements of the world” (Col. 2:8, WEB). And God proves that the Bible consists of His words. For instance, all the verified evidence indicates that Daniel did indeed live and complete the writing of his prophecies by about 536 BC. Yet Daniel wrote literally hundreds of details about the first few centuries before the appearance of Jesus, and also told us the exact year in which the Messiah Jesus would begin His ministry. Since there were no errors in any of his details regarding events which would occur two to five hundred years after he died, humanists simply say Page 1970
all the genuine evidence is wrong, then irrationally state that some liar, with an impossibly extensive knowledge of the times in which Daniel lived, must have created the book of Daniel sometime after his prophecies were supposedly fulfilled. So humanists defy empirical evidence and all sound logic, then claim that they are the rational ones, because they do not believe in a God. Yet, is it not better to trust the empirical evidence and scientific discoveries about time, then conclude that all past and future times exist as one present moment within the mind of a non-material Creator, and that the mind of God’s Spirit can take our spirits into any past or future times to see any events in them?
Now we know that all four dimensions of the material space-time continuum exist all at once in the spiritual time of God’s mind. But so does His created eternal spiritual space-time continuum, and all the living spirits within it. Spirits perceive a non-linear spiritual time without entropy, yet all past and future spiritual times must also exist all at once in God’s mind too. Consequently, all living spirits perceive different levels of understanding and consciousness at different spiritual times, while seeing and knowing their own “future” selves. But those are not actually their future selves. Rather, their future selves are merely parts of their whole selves, and observing themselves at various stages of development. For, remember, all times, both material and spiritual times, must be completely and entirely relative to the thoughts in the mind of God. And all processes occurring in the lives of all spirits, and regarding everything else, flow linearly in the mind of God. Then God, who is a Spirit, allows His created living spirits to perceive and experience those processes occurring in His mind.
But God can allow living spirits to perceive those processes in either material or spiritual time, in whatever works best for the teaching and training of His beloved created spirits. So all this bears some very biblical implications as well. That is, if we also consider how the mind of God cannot truly and actually forget a single thought, although He can stop thinking about some memories, all this means that all His creations, including all times, exist eternally. Yes, God created all times, and is therefore outside of all times, with no beginning nor end. Yet His thoughts have beginnings, but no ends, and can never be forgotten. So we must conclude that literally all living spirits exist eternally, and not one shall ever end, but all the spirits whom God chooses to think about will continuously grow and mature, will become ever more endowed with created blessings for their eternal spirits.
This also means that all the elect spirits, all whom God chooses to continuously think about, even the spirits of life in all the past and future plants and animals on earth, still live in heaven. All the partly awakened spirits of God’s elect heirs are still alive and now fully awake in heaven, and all will have perceived and experienced spiritual times, with some spiritual growth, at the gates of heaven, while they have been waiting for the other elect to complete the perceptions of their earthly times. But the elect spirits who remained asleep during their earthly times, will be cast into (or actually remain in) the skies above the lands in the spiritual realm, to sleep after their earthly times end. They will not be wakened to experience spiritual times at the gates of heaven until the appointed time of the judgment day. But on that day, Jesus will remind their spirits (and minds of spirits created in God’s image will never forget any of their perceived earthly times) about all they learned from their own personal perceptions of good and evil in the material realm. Their earthly lives will be used to teach and train those elect for their lives at home in heaven, where they can fulfill their destinies in joy. Likewise, the loveless and lying non-elect spirits, even those whom Satan awakened in earthly times, will sleep after their earthly perceptions end, and not experience spiritual times after that. But all the non-elect human spirits born of demonic spirits into earthly perceptions will also be wakened on the judgment day. Then, before that final day even truly begins, all non-elect human spirits will be cast into the darkness they created for themselves on earth, so they can eternally indulge in their own lies and delusions, but as totally impotent gods who cannot create anything for themselves from their lies.
Page 1971
So all the spirits who ever lived on earth had a beginning, but will have no end. Literally all still live, and all deceased living organisms now exist in the far more real eternal spiritual realm of heaven, which actually exists in and all around our perceptions of the tiny material space-time continuum.
Yes, most deceased human spirits now sleep in heaven, while non-human demonic spirits still walk in perceptions of the earth, as they always have. Then some elect human spirits now walk in the eternal lands, in new bodies made of spiritual substances. But, in a very short spiritual time, all sleeping human spirits will be wakened and gathered into the focus of God’s mind, so all the minds of all those spirits will begin to consciously perceive and experience spiritual time. Then the sleeping elect human spirits will wake to love again, as they also partially did on earth, and realize how they worshipped and served the Jesus standing before them. Also, some non-elect human spirits, who loved only Satan’s lies, who worshipped human gods in hierarchies and used money to exploit their own siblings in humankind, will remain so deluded on that day that they to will claim to serve Jesus, and arrogantly recite their accolades received from other liars as proof. Yet those non-elect called the one who was a liar and murderer from the beginning by the name of Jesus. So the real Jesus “will say, ‘I tell you, I don’t know where you come from. Depart from Me, all you workers of iniquity.’
There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when [they] see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets, in the Kingdom of God, and [themselves] being thrown outside. [The loving elect] will come from the east, west, north, and south, and will sit down in the Kingdom of God. Behold, there are some who are last who will be first, and there are some who are first who will be last” (Luke 13:27-30, WEB). Only the elect with an ability to justly love as God does will remain standing in front of Jesus on that last day, while all the non-elect shall be cast aside. Then the elect will realize that the last elect one on earth lived with Adam at exactly the same time and in the very same space.
The spirits which give life to all earthly organisms are even more real than the material bodies they dwell in. And there will be no death for any of those spirits of life. There is only a figurative kind of death reserved for demons and non-elect human spirits after their earthly perceptions are brought to an end, a “second death” which those non-elect created for themselves on earth. For all those spirits will be cast into the spiritual darkness of their own cherished delusions and lies. So now let the elect spirits focus on realities, on all that God’s Spirit grants to our spirits, whether on earth or in heaven.
All that we empirically observe on earth is very real, formed by the power or energy in God, granted for the education of our spirits. And those observations prove that spirits dwell in all life, that all material energy is God’s spiritual power, and perceptions of material time and space are completely relative to thoughts in a non-material Creator’s mind, the mind of our God. It is God who binds the minds of our spirits to material perceptions. For we see, hear and feel physical effects of spiritual love and hate daily, everywhere, and from every living entity. So we know, since absolutely none of the causes of those particular material effects of love and hate are material, then they must be caused by spirits, and that even those spirits causing those physical effects must be ultimately caused by the Spirit of God. So let our flesh mourn the loss of the physical bodies owned by the spirits of our loved ones. But our spirits cannot mourn their spirits, who are now far more alive than they were on earth.
Jesus told us, “Now He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for all are alive to Him” (Luke 20:38, WEB). Because God is a Spirit, and all the eternal spirits He created will always remain alive, God does not perceive the predestined deaths of flesh on earth in the same way we do. To God, the death of the flesh is just another spiritual moment in the eternal lives of the spirits inhabiting those dying earthly bodies. And even the pains they feel are perceptions fed to those spirits from the mind of God, to cause His elect spirits to hate the wage of sin paid to Satan, to all in his kingdom of his dark world order, the wage of death. Our God Jesus reminded us of this fact, that the death of flesh is Page 1972
merely a perception which God causes our spirits to experience, but that neither the Spirit of God nor our spirits, which were created in His image, can ever die. All spirits remain alive forever. From the very beginning, God reminded us of this. Adam and Eve, the first two living beings to become aware of good and evil, knew that, “In the day that God created man, He made him in God’s likeness”
(Gen. 5:1b, WEB). Therefore, since God lives forever, they too would live forever. And this truth was passed on to each earthly generation, until Moses and his fellow scribes redacted their words into the Scriptures. Then, when Moses met with God at the burning bush, God told Moses, using the present tense: “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob” (Ex. 3:6, WEB). So Moses knew that Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were still alive and with God, that God is the God of living, and not the God of any kind of past spirits who no longer exist.
Because Jesus taught us that God is the God of the living, not the dead (Luke 20:38, Mat. 22:32), we can truly live, by building up internal joy and spiritual rewards for our eternal lives, all that pertains to a just, equitable love expressed through our flesh. For we should also remember what Jesus said to those who thought they would cease to exist after death, that they were “badly mistaken” (πολὺ
πλανᾶσθε, or “being greatly deceived,” Mark 12:27). For those fools did not truly live nor gain any spiritual treasures in earthly life, since the only reason they wanted to believe that lie, and refuse to believe all the evidence of eternal spiritual realities, was because they lived entirely for their flesh, not for their spirits. Since perceptions of flesh are strong and amoral, often stupid beyond belief, our spirits accommodate them as much as they can. But we do not live for our foolish and temporary flesh, merely tolerate and provide for the basic needs and desires of our flesh, to some extent. Yet our principal goal in life is to bear eternal fruits for our spirits, the kinds that our spirits can keep forever when we cast off these perceptions of the flesh. Our main purpose here is to bear the fruits of “all goodness and righteousness and truth,” of all that “is well pleasing to the Lord” (Eph. 5:9-10, WEB).
The entire purpose of our earthly lives is to ensure that our spirits grow and bear the fruits of: (1) a God-like and just love; (2) a permanent state of inner joy; (3) Christ’s purchased peace with God and all living entities who seek love; (4) the patient endurance of our predestined perceptions of flesh, which educate our spirits; (5) a better expression of our spirits’ love through wise and effective kindness; (6) a virtuous, honest and beneficial kind of goodness; (7) an ever-increasing trust and confidence in our Messiah’s Holy Spirit and His words spoken to our spirits; (8) a humble and mild gentleness which does not insist on its own way; and (9) the freeing of the minds of our spirits from the tyranny of “emotions, impulses and desires” arising from our minds of flesh (see Gal. 5:22-23).
But scholars of this world, including scientists, are irrational sinners. None have yet even begun to actually define the essence and attributes of material energy, time or space, yet pontificate endlessly about their own empty, meaningless and blind speculations regarding the origins of all that exists and life itself. Most spend their entire lifetimes prattling on about how all existence began from a single point, from a singularity. Then they waste uncountable hours and resources in calculating the energy, time and space imagined by their own vain minds, hoping to gain empty accolades from the other equally deluded souls, and more money. At the same time, they mock the equally irrational medieval scientists and theologians who wasted their lives calculating mathematical models of how the sun and planets orbit around the earth, in the nine heavens invented by Dante and pagan idolaters from ancient Mesopotamia. They chuckle at how those arrogant medieval fools gave one another the titles of doctor and patted one another on the back, while unjust rulers in their lands starved and murdered their people. But today’s scholars fail to realize that they do exactly the same things, in exactly the same ways, while attributing the progress of justice and equality to themselves, rather than to the Holy Spirit of our God Jesus, who taught and produced all that progress through His elect siblings.
