What is Matty’s Paradigm and, just as important: what it is not.

A Mountain Filled the Whole Earth

Jagged mountain range

Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces. Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.

(Daniel 2:34-35) KJV

By adding Daniel to Isaiah and Zechariah we’re starting to build a deep bench of prophets who foresaw the changes that take place at the beginning of the Millennial Kingdom.

Primitive or Advanced?

Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

(Galatians 5:1) KJV

Cladistic phylogenetic analysis works by grouping species based on shared derived characteristics (synapomorphies). All of the members of a homologous group have a common ancestor. In this way it’s possible to develop a phylogenetic tree.

What if I’m Right?

If I’m right, and the theoretical foundation of modern science is really nothing more than an alternative to the truth, this has some serious implications. Not the least of which is the role that the great minds of science have played throughout history. There are a few key individuals who made leaps of faith, and jumped some major gaps in logic with nothing more than their desire to overcome God.

They flew by the seat of their pants and did it so convincingly that their work is considered foundational to the development of mainstream thought.

They were wrong.

What is Real?

According to science the Earth is an insignificant speck that orbits another insignificant speck that drifts through a cosmos so vast that we are, for want of a better word, insignificant.

The Bible teaches us the exact opposite, that the Earth is the center of creation and that God, as omnicient and omnipresent as He is, is deeply concerned with the details of each of our lives. So concerned, in fact, that he took on human form and lived among us so that he could explain to us how we can live life to its fullest and then life for eternity in heaven.

What is real?

Is it even remotely possible that the explanation of our place in the universe, according to science, is really a false narrative of godless existence designed to make you reject the everlasting life that comes through faith in Jesus Christ?

Could it be true?

Do you even care?

No one can prove that God exists so what difference does it make?

Down the Rabbit Hole

Can you find out the deep things of God? Can you find out the limit of the Almighty? It is higher than heaven—what can you do? Deeper than Sheol—what can you know?

(Job 11:7-8) ESV

What if we told you that the world popular science (SciPop) wants you to believe in, an insignificant speck orbiting an insignificant speck drifting through a vast cosmos, is a false narrative of godless existence? Do you even care?

Nothing Like This Has Ever Been Done Before

Do you think it’s possible to attack popular science (SciPop)? I mean, what would be the point, right? What possible purpose would it serve? Why on Earth would someone do that?

What if SciPop is a false theoretical construct, like the Matrix, designed to make you think that believing in God is stupid: the kind of thing that only idiots do? You know, uneducated, ignorant people. People you laugh at because you think you’re so much smarter than them.

What if the Bible is actually true? Being stupid in heaven is actually a better outcome than being intelligent in hell. Did you ever think about that?

What if it became necessary to expose the fact that SciPop has been meticulously constructed to make the Bible seem irrelevant? The reason why is complicated, but it comes down to our desire to be free from the judgment of God. Free to live our lives however we want and have no consequences.

What if someone was called to warn you that there are consequences?

Would it be like attacking SciPop?

  • Trinity: Nothing like this has ever been done before.
  • Neo: That’s why it’s going to work.

Custodial Services Training Manager – Neo

The team cleaning trainer is Neo, from the movie the Matrix.

He doesn’t know where he is, how he got there, or what he is supposed to do, but everyone keeps telling him that he is going to be awesome.

This is the story of my life. At least, it was. Life has become quite blessed and meaningful since I started attending Open Door Baptist Church. It was October 2015 if I remember right. I heard Mary the Piano player sing beautifully then Pastor Don tore into a hell fire and damnation sermon. I walked out of there that day knowing for sure what I needed to do. This made everything fall into place and I finally got my priorities straight.

The Election is Over

It’s finally over. Now the world is coming to grips with the fact that Donald Trump is going to actually do all the things he told us repeatedly that he was going to do.

That’s why we elected him folks.

Yet I happened upon a picture that I saved to my phone during the campaign and it perfectly symbolizes what happened. I feel like sharing.

A Letter to Myself

Hi Matthew,

just a note to say the way forward is now completely clear. The experience of Ethiopia, preaching at Beza International Church and conversation with Rob (the Donkey’s jawbone) are just a small part of the total confirmation you need to be able to move on.

Finish Biblio’s Blood. This is the first step in making the future that you are hoping for.

Plan to return to Ethiopia, and also plan to be involved in missions to whatever extent you are needed or useful.

Give your full commitment to the body of Christ at HillSide.

God bless and have fun.

Written at Monkey Gorge among the daisys.

Director of Custodial Services – Han Solo

Patton’s second in command is the Director of Custodial Services, none other than the swashbuckling space pirate, Captain Han Solo.

Han hasn’t got any custodial experience but he has dodged every trap and escaped from every tight spot that the enemy has ever tried. He is mostly concerned with keeping the desperate band of rebels on day shift together, and he is usually busy avoiding asteroids and evading Imperial Star Destroyers.
