The Galen Urso Type

“I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.
(John 10:11) NKJV

The greatest example of selfless sacrifice, for the sake of a world of people who don’t deserve it, is that of our Lord Jesus Christ on the cross at Calvary.

Replacement Theology In Its Warp and Woof

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
(2 Timothy 3:16-17) NKJV

YHVH God tells us that He created the Heavens and the Earth and the seas, and all that is in them, in six days, and rested on the seventh day. Do we believe that, or have we replaced the revelation which the Creator has given to all by our own worldly wisdom and knowledge, so called?

Answer 3

And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged.
(Genesis 8:1) KJV

Why did God flood the world, kill everybody, start over again, yet forget to absolve Noah and his descendants of original sin? And if Noah’s family were cleansed of it, how did humanity get it back?

This question makes it clear that there’s confusion over what original sin is. Original sin is not a conceptual thing that can be removed, it set in motion a course of history which can’t be stopped or changed.

Answer 2

And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world.
(1 John 2:2) NKJV

If Jesus blood washed us from our sins, why are we still told that we are born in Original Sin?

Original sin is why mankind is in a fallen state. However, that’s not our fault. We’re born into this system but we’re not going to be held accountable for it. We have our own sin which is why we’re under the judgment of God.

Answer 1

For it is by God’s grace that you have been saved through faith. It is not the result of your own efforts, but God’s gift, so that no one can boast about it.
(Ephesians 2:8-9) Good News Translation

As we still have to ask God/Jesus for forgiveness, as we always did, why was a crucifixion necessary?

Under normal circumstances you’d think that answering this question would be simple. Here’s one way to answer it.

Straightening out the Spaghetti

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

We’re going to straighten out the spaghetti but it can get bogged down in technicalities, which is why having a simple answer is preferable. The questions are good questions, though. This actually happens sometimes, even on Twitter.

A Simple Answer

But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
(1 Peter 3:15) KJV

The gospel is simple, and the last thing that we want to do is confuse anyone. If you want to be saved there are only two things that you have to do:

Salvation

Call upon the name of Jesus Christ,
- believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead,
confess your sin.

Their Eyes Were Opened

Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings.
(Genesis 3:7) NKJV

We’ve challenged the theoretical foundation of popular science (SciPop) and charged that it’s an inductive rationalization of the premise of godless existence. It requires A priori rejecting God as a causal agent.

He Defended It

And after him was Shammah the son of Agee the Hararite. And the Philistines were gathered together into a troop, where was a piece of ground full of lentiles: and the people fled from the Philistines. But he stood in the midst of the ground, and defended it, and slew the Philistines: and the LORD wrought a great victory.
(2 Samuel 23:11-12) KJV

We’ve been defending the Geocentrospheric model in the Twitter community since December 25th, 2015. It can’t be refuted. There’s a simple reason why: It’s Biblically accurate.

Flat Earth isn’t Biblical

Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
(Colossians 2:8) KJV

The Bible describes a spherical earth at the center of a spherical cosmos. The center of earth is hell. Hell is expanding, it’s the cause of global warming. Flat earth is a load of dingo’s kidneys.
