Spaghetti Theology and Inductive Reasoning

But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
(Titus 3:9) KJV

The Bible explains the Bible. However, we’ve only got what we’ve been given, but everything that we’ve been given has been given us for a reason. Now, based on the premise God cannot lie and the Bible is true, we ought to be able to use what we’ve been given to deduce how the Bible accounts for all empirical observations and physical evidence. The key is deduction. The theological word for deductive reasoning is exegesis.

Is Satan Limbless?

His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born
(Revelation 12:4) KJV

The curse of the serpent to be limbless reveals an area of theology which has been badly compromised by the spaghetti syndrome. It’s spaghetti with a side of waffle and fudge.

Enmity

And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
(Revelation 12:13) KJV

The whole of the narrative of Revelation 12 centers on the enmity, or hatred, between Satan, the dragon, and the woman. If we apply the relationship of cause and effect we can again place this event after the fall of man.

Labor Pains

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

We (that’s me and the Holy spirit) only know what we’ve been told, but everything that we’ve been told has been given us for a reason. We may ask: what does a prophetic vision of a war in heaven have to do with events on the Earth?

Deducing the Timing of the War in Heaven

And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
(Revelation 12:17) KJV

We’re using deduction to reconcile the Bible with science. Actual science, not popular science (SciPop). We believe that a fact will be the same regardless of what you believe about the Bible, therefore anything which is only true in the SciPop paradigm isn’t a fact.

War in Heaven

And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
(Revelation 12:7-9) KJV

The theological interpretations of this passage are wide ranging. We can’t get into an analytical breakdown of it because all it would do is confuse the issue. We take the position that the universe had to exist in order for this war to have taken place, so therefore it was AFTER the six days of creation.

Travailing in Birth

Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars. Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth.
(Revelation 12:1-2) NKJV

If we (that’s me and the Holy spirit) compare the Bible with itself and eliminate interpretations which cause conflict between passages, we’re left with a logical sequence of events and facts.
