A Pearl of Great Price
Continue reading “A Pearl of Great Price”The Kingdom of heaven is like this. A man happens to find a treasure hidden in a field. He covers it up again, and is so happy that he goes and sells everything he has, and then goes back and buys that field.
“Also, the Kingdom of heaven is like this. A man is looking for fine pearls, and when he finds one that is unusually fine, he goes and sells everything he has, and buys that pearl.

Continue reading “Temperance and Forbearance”God’s divine power has given us everything we need to live a truly religious life through our knowledge of the one who called us to share in his own glory and goodness. In this way he has given us the very great and precious gifts he promised, so that by means of these gifts you may escape from the destructive lust that is in the world, and may come to share the divine nature. For this very reason do your best to add goodness to your faith; to your goodness add knowledge; to your knowledge add self-control; to your self-control add endurance; to your endurance add godliness; to your godliness add Christian affection; and to your Christian affection add love. These are the qualities you need, and if you have them in abundance, they will make you active and effective in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

300 Foxes
So Samson went and caught 300 foxes and took torches. And he turned them tail to tail and put a torch between each pair of tails. And when he had set fire to the torches, he let the foxes go into the standing grain of the Philistines and set fire to the stacked grain and the standing grain, as well as the olive orchards.
(Judges 15:4-5) ESV
It would take a lot of work to catch 300 foxes. How many could one catch on a good day? 3? 4? We should consider that assembling 300 foxes was months of work.

Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come.
(Psalms 71:18) KJV
Christian apologists have been playing defense for generations. They’ve worked to keep the Bible relevant while the world of popular science (SciPop) became an intellectual Death Star and destroyed any competing paradigm.
Continue reading “Showing God to this Generation”Testing God
And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought: But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.
(Acts 5:38-39) KJV
We’ll find out if Matty’s Paradigm is a positive result in a predictive testable hypothesis for the existence of God that we get from Gamaliel’s counsel in the book of Acts. If it’s of God, then it’ll succeed.

Principia Mattymatica
And the Lord said:
(Isaiah 29:13-14) ESV
“Because this people draw near with their mouth
and honor me with their lips,
while their hearts are far from me,
and their fear of me is a commandment taught by men,
therefore, behold, I will again
do wonderful things with this people,
with wonder upon wonder;
and the wisdom of their wise men shall perish,
and the discernment of their discerning men shall be hidden.”
The purpose of Matty’s Paradigm is to cause irreparable damage to the theoretical foundation of popular science (SciPop) but, hey, it’s nothing personal.

“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it.
(Matthew 13:44-46) NKJV
We had a dream recently (September 19, 2020). We saw a pearl. In the dream we were shown that the formation of a pearl is a picture of core accretion and planet formation.
