A sheep in wolf's clothing.
See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.
(Colossians 2:8) ESV
It’s important that any theory we propose has to be congruent with the broad narrative of scripture. However, by using deductive reasoning, we superimpose onto this a broad narrative of physics.

And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day;
(Jude 1:6) NKJV
The passage above is one of a small handful in the Bible which address the consequence faced by the angels who joined Satan’s rebellion in heaven. It’s closely related to the featured passage today’s devotional.

And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell.
(James 3:6) NKJV
There’s a New Testament confirmation of the event described in Deuteronomy 32:22 when the fire of hell was kindled and nuclear decay began. Here we’re told that the tongue, the serpent beguiling Eve and Adam blaming his wife, set on fire the course of nature which in this case means melting the core of the Earth.

And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
(Genesis 3:17-19) KJV
The curse on Adam was the curse on the Earth, though this shouldn’t be a surprise since Adam’s name and the Hebrew word translated ground have the same root and they’re practically the same thing. Adam is the ground, it’s what he’s made of.

Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
(Genesis 3:16) KJV
On July 2 we proposed that the curse on Eve to have painful labor in childbirth meant that Revelation chapter 12, the war in heaven, had to have happened after the fall of man.

Thus saith the LORD; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the LORD.
(Jeremiah 31:37) KJV
Christian leadership has a bad case of spaghetti syndrome because they didn’t think that it was worthwhile to master the science which has been used to develop the popular science paradigm (SciPop).

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
(2 Peter 3:9) KJV
It’s hard to find a pastor or preacher these days who has the guts to make a clear statement about the reality of hell. What’s ironic is that the pastors and preachers, for their part, don’t think it has anything to do with guts.

For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.
(Isaiah 45:18) KJV
Within the ultimate answer to life, the universe and everything we also have to understand that certain things have a specific function. The Earth, for instance, has a function in the fulfillment of the purpose, which is there for a reason. We are using the word function as follows:

Then the Lord told me to say to the people, “Listen! I, the Lord, am giving you a choice between the way that leads to life and the way that leads to death.
(Jeremiah 21:8) Good News Translation
This life is our opportunity to experience sentient life. God is the source of this life and he’s made this obvious. However, he’s not going to make us believe a certain way. We’re free to believe whatever we want about life.

The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
(2 Thessalonians 2:9-12) New King James Version
God’s ultimate goal is a place which is perpetually light, where there’s no impurity or corruption, and where he has fellowship with sentient beings. But he isn’t going to make anyone be there unless they want to be there.
