Constraining Obligations

They shall take care of all the furnishings of the Tent of Meeting and fulfill obligations for the Israelites by attending to the service of the tabernacle.

(Numbers 3:8) BSB

A note which was written in an old Bible of ours (which somehow got lost) was taken from something a preacher said at Calvary Baptist Church in Carrboro, NC. We have always felt encouraged by it.

Cherish the tender Spirit of your constraining obligations.

I Am, Therefore I Think

And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.

So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

(Genesis 11:1-2, 8-9) KJV

Devolution and genetic decay are analogous to the story of the tower of Babel (Genesis 11). After the great flood, the growing population stayed together in the city of Babel. They all spoke the same language at this time.

Astronomy

Timothy, keep safe what has been entrusted to your care. Avoid the profane talk and foolish arguments of what some people wrongly call “Knowledge.” For some have claimed to possess it, and as a result they have lost the way of faith.

God’s grace be with you all.

(1 Timothy 6:20-21) Good News Translation

We like wry humor here at Matty’s Paradigm. A double-dose of irony with a side of snark. Here’s the definition of what you call Astronomy after it’s been filtered through the lens of Biblical cosmology.

Giant Fungi?

Timothy, keep safe what has been entrusted to your care. Avoid the profane talk and foolish arguments of what some people wrongly call “Knowledge.” For some have claimed to possess it, and as a result they have lost the way of faith.

God’s grace be with you all.

(1 Timothy 6:20-21) Good News Translation

Pseudoscientific stupidity can be quite breathtaking. What you call science we call pseudoscience because nothing in this video is a testable hypothesis. It’s pure narrative.

How Precious are Thoughts?

How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; When I awake, I am still with You.

(Psalms 139:17-18) NKJV

Gravity was created on the second day. It’s powered by a singularity at which time has stopped. Time passes more quickly the further we are away from the singularity. It’s known as gravitational time dilation (GTD).

Perigeon

But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars of heaven will fall, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.

(Mark 13:24-25) NKJV

When asteroids approach the Earth they’re at perigeon. You’ve heard of perihelion, we need a new word. We’re going to coin a word to express the concept of perihelion, but proximity to the Earth (geo), not the sun.
