DPMS – Axiom III

Stars are distant suns and galaxies

There are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is of one kind, and the glory of the earthly is of another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory.

(1 Corinthians 15:40-41) KJV

Since the time of Galileo the words star and sun have been used as synonyms. Synonymy is one of the ruling atheist deities. It’s how popular science (SciPop) gets you to believe that the Earth is insignificant.

DPMS – Axiom II

Earth orbits the sun

The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose.

(Ecclesiastes 1:5) KJV

The human race has rejected empirical observations in favor of theoretical assumptions: IF you were on the Sun you’d be observing heliocentricity, SINCE you’re not, you’re on the Earth, you’re observing Geocentrosphericity.

DPMS – Axiom I

There’s a causal relationship between space-time and gravity

My hand laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand spread out the heavens; when I call to them, they stand forth together.

(Isaiah 48:13) ESV

Is gravity a property of matter and energy (space-time)? Newton thought so. So did Einstein. So does pretty much everybody alive today, except for us. The Bible describes the creation and purpose of gravity in the universe.

Characteristics

And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake; for the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.

(Genesis 8:21) KJV emphasis added

We need to compile a list of what the Bible considers to be characteristics of the heart.

Thoughts and Intents

And Jonathan said to the young man that bare his armour, Come, and let us go over unto the garrison of these uncircumcised: it may be that the LORD will work for us: for there is no restraint to the LORD to save by many or by few. And his armourbearer said unto him, Do all that is in thine heart: turn thee; behold, I am with thee according to thy heart.

(1 Samuel 14:7) KJV

We can sort the characteristics of the heart into thoughts and Intents and expand our understanding of Who Am I? Thoughts, quite naturally, stay in the mind. Intents are when we’re driven or motivated to act. We may or may not carry out the act, but it was an intent.

God’s Law of Attraction

Interesting, it’s as if God created gravity as an integral part of the plan of redemption.

Kathryne's avatarKathryne Leach

Whatever you focus on you attract.

We attract negative things to our lives through our negative thoughts. This is the law of attraction. It is like a magnet.

The flip side is this: Whatever you focus on, you empower. Whatever you speak, you reap. I can attract favor and blessing to my life by speaking positive words, but not merely any words.

white board vision2This principle is used in worldy circles and motivational seminars, but today I’m reminding you that this is a spiritual principle found in the Bible. “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he” (Proverbs 23:7) and 3 John2 – “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.”

How does our soul prosper? Since our soul is composed of our mind, will and emotions, we know that our soul only prospers when we align our mind…

How Did You Miss?

“The Guide says that there is an art to flying,” said Ford, “or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.”

– Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

I’m reading the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy to my son while I’m homeschooling him. We do all of the school assignments of course, but I have a few assignments of my own. These include reading to him some of the books that have had particular significance in my life.

We have read through John Watson’s the Double Helix, and Arthur Ransom’s Swallows and Amazons. We read the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, the Restaurant at the End of the Universe and we just started Life, the Universe and Everything. That’s when we got to the part about learning to fly.

It somehow produced, in my mind, a tenuous connection to the Matty’s Paradigm predictive testable hypothesis 22, which itself is an outgrowth of the Sophia Proton thought experiment.

Predictive Testable Hypothesis 22

  • IF the Holy Spirit is the power of God to inspire human writers,
    • AND the physics of the universe has been written in scripture so that it’s
      1. obvious and
      2. invisible,
  • THEN phrases or words that look like physics, geology, chemistry or biology should be treated as if they are physics, geology, chemistry or biology,
    • AND the science will be congruent with the scriptural context.

The connection is, as I said, tenuous and, if I’m honest, I can’t quite put it into words at this time. However, it has something to do with so-called Biblical literalists not actually taking the Bible literally, and somehow managing to miss most of its meaning.

Something along those lines. I’ll figure it out.

Loyal to the Word of God

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

(2 Timothy 2:15) KJV

Speaking of George Muller (1805-1898)

He intended no assault upon brethren who hold other views, when he thus plainly stated in his journal the honest and unavoidable convictions to which he came; but he was too loyal to both the word of God and to his own conscience to withhold his views when so carefully and prayerfully arrived at through the searching of the scriptures.

– Arthur T. Pierson, George Muller of Bristol

I may be guilty of assaulting brethren who hold other views, but I certainly understand what it means to be loyal to the word of God and to my conscience. Here’s a quote from the book I’m currently reading, one which I’ve read before but return to.
