Thou Shalt Keep Them

The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

(Psalms 12:6-7) KJV

We began to search out Bible passages that would substantiate the link between God can’t lie and the Bible is true. Before we knew it we were reaching for our copy of Thou Shalt Keep Them.

Gravitational Waves

Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.

(Isaiah 5:14) KJV

We’re going to investigate the possibility that hell emits gravitational waves in response to fluctuations in the human death rate. This is hypothesis 13.

Showing God to this Generation

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.

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.

The Brightness of the Firmament

And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. (Daniel 12:3)

The wise leaders will shine with all the brightness of the sky. And those who have taught many people to do what is right will shine like the stars forever.

(Daniel 12:3) Good News Translation

Then God’s people will shine like the sun in their Father’s Kingdom. Listen, then, if you have ears!

(Matthew 13:43) Good News Translation

The creation of gravity and formation of the firmament was to establish a place, heaven, where God would dwell in perpetual light because the firmament is bright like the sun, as we see from Daniel.

A Geocentrospheric Solution

It is he who sits above the circle of the earth,
and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers;
who stretches out the heavens like a curtain,
and spreads them like a tent to dwell in;

(Isaiah 40:22) ESV

If God’s sitting on the circle of the Earth, and God’s throne is in heaven, then “the circle of the Earth” describes something orbiting the Earth, not the Earth itself. The circle of the Earth isn’t Discworld.

No One Has an Excuse

Matty's Paradigm a unified theory of everything

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world,g in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.

(Romans 1:18-23) ESV

The truth about God is so obvious that no one has an excuse not to believe, but we’ve been given free will to be able to believe whatever we want. For this reason there has to be a plausible alternative to the truth.

The Speed of Plate Tectonics

He stood, and measured the earth: he beheld, and drove asunder the nations; and the everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow: his ways are everlasting.

(Habakkuk 3:6) KJV

The Pangaea super-continent broke up into tectonic plates and these moved into their current locations over the space of a century or so. How do we know? By studying paleomagnetism.
